It's only a scam if you believe that somehow you have an advantage over a fairly efficient market and that in reality you may not have this edge.

I never minded what Cramer said since I realized he is just an entertainer. But, when he starts using his pulpit to try and influence the SEC or regulators, then I think it is sad that such misinformation may actually impact a generally free society.

Even with the horrible spreads in the Los Angeles (LAX) real estate futures, I've managed to wait patiently and watch my shorts at 260.2 fall to 214.0 (and still dropping) for a healthy profit. The NY futures for some reason have a much better (smaller) spread than the other contracts. It is...

I wonder when Americans will finally start to understand and stop ridiculing Ron Paul. I wish he would run as a 3rd partry candidate.

I eat lunch almost daily at a local Greek restaurant and speak to the owner regularly. His restaurant is still packed, but tells me that his margins are almost zero, now. The price of his imported feta cheese rose 100% this past year and the cost of his imported olive oil went up 300%. I'll...

Which broker was able to loan you shares? Fidelity was out of shares in the AM on Friday.

If the fed were reasonable enough to not want spiralling inflation, and decided to not increase the money supply at some moment in the future, is it not possible that we could have a deflationary period? BTW, I do respect your opinion, Gnome. Anybody who's for a limited, constitutional...

In Japan's deflationary period, those asset classes did quite poorly with commercial real estate losing 99% of its value from its peak, as an example. The phenomena you speak of may occur only prior to deflation if there is a rapid expansion of the money supply, but I'm asking more of what...

I think nobody spotted a contradiction because there was none. If you read my original post again, I ask about a deflationary period occuring AFTER a massive increase in the money supply.

Which asset classes do you recommend being long for the next 1-5 years if the fed were to continue to lower the target rate to about 2% with consequent increases in the CPI followed by an overall possibly prolonged deflationary environment? Did any asset classes do well in Japan's long...

We have socialists, Obama and H Clinton, running against a proamnesty neocon McCaine. These bad times are going to get worse for a very long time...

My awareness of Ron Paul has forever changed the way I view politics and government. It also gives me great hope that an intelligent and honest candidate actually does have a shot in politics competing against more traditional politicians who are nothing more than manufactured liars and smooth...

What will happen to WaMu's intrinsic value when a bank run starts? Will the rapid mass exodus of its depositors cause them to fire sale assets? In otherwords, will the loss of depositors cause some kind of equivalent margin call onto the bank? I ask, because I see it as a distinct...

It is tough to decide where most US citizens should park their cash for medium to long-term investments.

You guys are rough. I think that those guys on the above list are at least entertaining :)

CNBC doesn't really offer "news", but it can still be entertaining to have on. Usually everybody has some kind of likable personality or entertaining quality. However, I find Bob Pisani's overly dramatic attempts to describe a "reason" for a market movement to be the worst part of CNBC...

If everybody resigned for being wrong in predictions, there would be nobody left on any forum. I wouldn't resign for being a perma-bull.

I've been promoting Dec 16, 2007 to as many people as I can. Nov 5 really surprised me, and I think that day definitely made people think more about participating in these "money bombs".

Whoever made that song did a top notch job!
