    Should corporations pay tax?

    The whole concept of taxation breaks down when the government uses the money irresponsibly now doesn't it? In the current situation a flat rate with no loopholes would be best. Like or not what politicians have done in the past, we're in a crisis right now and if we're going to get out of it...

    Wars and Gold

    Precursor? Really? More like more logs in the fire. Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq are already going on. What kind of war are you talking about?

    Is the American Dream is over?

    I was in Beverly Hills recently and, rest assured, wealth still exists. In the age of outsourcing the wealth is only going to be spread among new players. The American Dream is still possible. But there is so much more competition to attain it.

    Grrece probes Citibank for market talk of debt restructuring

    This sounds like a witch hunt. What can they be looking for, the person who started the rumor? Plotting a fall-guy plan and deflecting public scrutiny by focusing on the demise of some official?

    Meathead-in-Chief declares war on oil speculators

    He can't be serious! I have a feeling he will make a show of regulating the oil market more heavily to appease the public's anger toward us speculators. There is no way he can derail the current status quo, there is too much money in it.

    Amazon failure takes down sites across Internet

    If they're trying to grow it to the size of their retail business they're going to have to take care to stop problems like this. Reliable hosting service is key to success in that industry.

    If dollar continues to weaken(which it will) $6.00 gas is coming!!

    I'm guessing you're a "survival of the fittest and everybody else move out of the way" type of guy.

    Brian Hunter fined 30 M$ for nat gas manipulation.

    When a big fish wants to throw his weight around he'll throw it around. I like it when administrative bodies call them out like this. It is the way it should be.

    The loneliness of success

    Its true, some people wouldn't know how to handle success. What you have to do is surround yourself with successful people.

    How high can gold get???

    Given that the Middle East will be in heightened turmoil for a while and that neither the European or U.S. debt crises will go unsolved for years to come, I think gold will eventually hit $3k an ounce. Any higher than that is fantasy and cannot be sustained.

    British debt

    Well as an American, all I can say is I hope Britain doesn't dig itself into a hole as big as we have.

    GM steering wheels falling off

    You're kidding me!! Did they not run tests on the car? I can just imagine Wile E. Coyote buying one of these things and speeding along trying to catch the roadrunner. Then suddenly there is a sharp turn at some cliff and the steering wheel falls off!! Boom! The coyote fails again! This is...

    zipcar ipo...Never had profits!!!!

    I know one person who uses Zipcar. Maybe I don't mingle with the right people? I don't understand why somebody without a car would not just use the bus instead of zipcar. If I didn't have a car the only reason I would use Zipcar is if I went for a camping trip and the bus didn't reach the area I...

    Oil dropping because goldman warns of a pullback...hmmmmm

    It sure seems like Goldman has a big say in what goes on in the oil market. It strengthens my belief that the trading game is all about reputation. Goldman has a pretty big reputation and whatever they say really does have an effect on the markets. Some small potates trader who has done the...

    Could Microsoft 'Bing' Overtake Google in 2012?

    This is interesting data. It would be cool to see a graph showing historical search rates. I don't believe Bing is going to overtake Google just because Google already has a large infrastructure. It has Google adwords which is used by millions of people. Google is the industry leader and any...

    42 USA Senators will Block Google?

    Men have always been horny and always will be horny. I don't use Bing but if it really does block porn searches and 60% of internet searches are for porn, then I don't think Bing will oust Google. Its sad, the internet would be a faster place if lonley men got off their asses and got a...

    Why do more than 90% of traders lose?

    Its a fact! Small traders are doomed to fail. There is no way around it. If you're going to trade you have to accept that you will lose some of the time and big traders can take the hits. Small traders can't. If on top of that you add the illusion that trading is a get rich quick scheme, the...

    There Is No Male-Female Wage Gap

    Gentlemen! Sounds like we've got work to do. I don't want to seem sexist but aren't we supposed to be the bread winners? I never thought I'd feel this way if this news ever came up. I actually never thought about it to be honest. Seeing as I still make more money than most people I'm not...
