    Massive government debt bomb! Buy gold now goddamit!

    What is Obama doing now that he has not done for the last 7.75 years ? The annual budget is passed in September and it begins 1 October. The budget has already been established. We have been existing in Fiscal Year 2017 for the Federal Government since 1 October. What do you think he is...

    Tony Romo is Done, Good!!!

    Dallas beat Minnesota today 27-17. Romo didn't play. He is the new 2nd string Backup QB. BTW, he made a comment yesterday that he would like to play for Denver. That was an ungrateful comment to make after all the money Jerry Jones has spent on him. JJ has retained him much longer than many...

    Yellen sends a message to Trump: Hands off Dodd-Frank

    So , corporations pay lower taxes (unless you are GE and have not paid them in 35 years ) and then they tax the individual at a capital gains tax rate which makes up for the lowered corporate rate. How about they reduce the taxes for individuals and corporations and then eliminate the capital...

    Yellen sends a message to Trump: Hands off Dodd-Frank

    I don't know about investment gains but you should not have to pay taxes on dividends. As a shareholder, when the company paid taxes they were paid for you based on the company's income. When you are taxed on dividends you are paying taxes on taxes. That should be illegal. They need to bring...

    Tony Romo is Done, Good!!!

    Romo gave a press conference today and said that Dak Prescott earned the right to be the starting QB. It was quite classy. ------------- “To say the first half of this season has been emotional would be a huge understatement. Getting hurt when you feel like you have the best team you’ve...

    Tony Romo is Done, Good!!!

    ROMO did not play tonight because he is still on the Injured List. But the Cowboys beat Pittsburgh at home with 9 seconds left. They are 8-1 for the season and they would have potentially won the game they lost if they had run out of bounds to stop the clock. They have won 8 straight games...

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    The U.S. has the same policies, you just have not heard about them. We have public housing for those that cannot provide for themselves. And if housing is not available we have something called Section 8 that allows the govt to pay for your rent and utilities. But you still get Free...

    Tony Romo is Done, Good!!!

    I have never heard that about Romo and NFL ratings. The NFL's ratings are down because more people are playing soccer and computer games. And there are fewer kids playing little league football every year.....which means less interest in high school and college. They are concerned about...

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    nice choice of words....lol Anyhow, Tiny homes are a gimmick. There are not that many people who want to live in a tool shed. They were interesting to read about this year, but I predict that they'll fade away in 2017. They won't solve homelessness either. The homeless need a job or mental...

    The 20 Highest-Paid Boards of Directors in the S&P 500

    What surprised me is that there was a 'median pay'. I always thought that compensation for each Director was the same for everyone. I guess not. 250K, 500k, $1MN to be a Director.....that's a cool part time job. BTW.....you are not just paying for their expertise, you are also getting...

    If AAPL is not the most innovative company, then who is?

    I have heard good things about the Honor phones but I have never seen one . Isn't the only way you can get one is to order it online ? I am in the market for a new one...I've been looking at the Iphone 7. Yeah, it looks the same but the new one is water resistant and has the fastest processor...

    If AAPL is not the most innovative company, then who is?

    I know this thread is over a month old...but I emailed Apple last week and asked them if they would break down the sales numbers for the new Iphone 7 and Iphone 7PLus and they said it was not publicly available. They said they just give total numbers and don't break it down to specific...

    Market Movements on Friday and Monday

    Yeah, that is interesting. We finished the month of October today and it was the third down month in a row. It's unusual, but it supports the idea that August, September and October are not the best months of the year for the stock market. I wonder if the election and all the legal...

    Market Movements on Friday and Monday

    Yeah, this election is unique with all the rumors and illegal activities that have been uncovered. The election is 8 days away but anything can happen. It will be interesting to see what Wikileaks has for us tomorrow.

    What do you guys do when you're not trading?

    Market Movements on Friday and Monday

    Holy cow....that was detailed....did you read it? Based on the statistics, the cliche' is correct. The best months to make money (historically) are November, December and January. Making money means...the stock market rises. But, I would not bet on that happening this year with the volatile...

    EUR/USD: Market pricing in EUro break-up? Or Bail-out?

    I saw this a few days ago.........considering it was written by the guy that introduced the Euro, it's pretty significant. ---- One of the prime architects of the euro was Otmar Issing. And it’s now Otmar Issing who tells us that the euro is simply not going to work. It would have been useful...

    TSLA/SCTY

    Yeah, I saw that. It looks like they did their homework and made sure it was hail proof. That's important in Texas....we've had several hail storms in the Dallas area and at least 1 hail storm did $1BN+ in damage to cars, windows and roofs. It makes me feel good that the U.S. still produces...

    Market Movements on Friday and Monday

    Bingo. A lot of it has to do with confidence in yourself and sticking to the plan. I don't bother talking to people I know about the stock market because some people consider it gambling and some stick to mutual funds. That is why I come here. But, if you want to make money you have to take...
