There will be a rush of trolls to surrender looking to cut deals to avoid the possible penalty of reading hershey posts.

Back in 1990 when I got my first stockbroker job I had to be in the office at 6 AM for start time. I usually didn't get to bed until about 11 or midnight, but it didn't matter. I was so motivated to get out there and make my millions that I didn't need sleep. But when it finally dawned on my...

Actually, that street.com article did mention the environmental risks to coal stocks. But I don't really see any problems here, it really does look like nothing more than profit taking. All of the charts look very over-extended too. I think I may buy this dip. I just need to get away from my...

Oh crap. We're doomed. The Street dot com came out with a bullish article on coal today, there's no escape. :p

Right now all I see is that Massey is fighting a suit in court that if it loses, insurance will not cover the loss. They are being sued for pollution, and that makes me wonder if other coal companies are exposed as well.

^^^^^ - Just popped in to ask the same thing. It's a slaughter out there. I'm within a whisker of being stopped out on ICO.

I have to admit that in the end, I was always treated fair by the IRS. I've been examined by them twice. Once I had to cut them a check with interest and penalties, and once they had to cut me a check with interest. Anyway, back to Swiss bank accounts - I understand that under Swiss law a...

OK, this is what I was looking for -

What law is the IRS using to get a judge to order a bank to disclose this info? As far as I know, and I could be wrong, it is perfectly legal for foreign banks to withold account information from the US govt.

So when are all of you non-sheeple who voted for Ron Paul going to ask him what he did with that record amount of grassroots campaign money? P.S. - Is Ron Paul still winning in a landslide in the latest AOL poll? :p

My stop was at 8.25, but I've had a nagging feeling over the last few days that I need to get out of this stock. I dumped it today at 8.54. I'm still keeping it on my list. I just have a bad feeling about the overall market right now.

WTF?? You already started a thread about coal stocks, why did you start another one?

UMB Financial Corp, (UMBF), is a bank that's bucking the trend. I visited their website and it looks like they do residential home mortgages, so it's suprising that their stock would be doing so well. Bank stocks are such sluggards that I don't like to buy them. I have to think about making...

Last week I counted up 227 banks that made new lows. Not good.

Last week in the WSJ Obama was quoted as saying that nobody who earns under $250K would get a tax increase, and he specifically mentioned cap gains in addition to income. I need some clarification on that. I don't make $250K in cap gains and income in any year. So even if he repeals the Bush...

What Obama means by tax the wealthy Here's a closer look at how the Democratic candidate defines well-off for different households, and what his proposals will mean for them. By Jeanne Sahadi, CNNMoney.com senior writer Last Updated: June 28, 2008: 9:52 AM EDT NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Most...

No, there are not the same number of buyers and sellers at any given point, and probably never has been. These goddam gurus who don't know a damb thing about the markets always love to spout out that the number of buyers and sellers is equal. Alexander Elder comes to mind first, he wrote...

If you lose in the markets, try again in court. Another well known, big time trader who is no different than joe schmoe who blew his Ameritrade account out. They both lost it all. Education of a Speculator was one of the worst financial books I have ever read. Niederhoffer was more intent...

In the Tuesday's Markets section of the WSJ: "It looks to us like enough shoes have fallen in this sector," said Don Bright who runs a trading firm in Chicago, referring to the idea that the raft of trading losses written down by financial firms in recent months may be nearing an end. Mr...

Barack Obama says that Buffet is not paying his fair share of taxes and Buffet endorses him. I don't get it.
