    Citi to let distressed homeowners stay for 6 mos.

    People read the article. It isnt a handout. Its just a deed-in-lieu variation where the (former) owner hands over the deed and is allowed to remain for 6 months. The reality is that between new state moratoriums and court delays it was taking 6 months to complete the eviction process (and then...

    The GOVT. WILL Get Bigger and Bigger....

    No, western nation elections arent rigged. They are fair but meaningless contests between two sides of the same coin, and any REAL choice that might threaten the status quo (i.e. more than two parties) is conviently frozen out by "regulations". Not sure that is much better than rigged elections.

    Ron Paul says healthcare not a right

    I disagree completely. It is necessary to correctly define INALIENABLE RIGHTS in order to frame the debate on healthcare, or any other services that anyone cares to discuss. The underlying philosophy lays an important foundation upon which we agree. THEN, with that established (what...

    Ron Paul says healthcare not a right

    Health Care is NOT a right! I personally endorse universal health care coverage for all, and feel government should funnel tax dollars towards making sure all are covered, just the way public education works, but that doesnt make health care a RIGHT. RIGHTS are things that governments...

    As California goes...so goes the nation.

    thats a great question mother and I think the EXACT one anyone with assets should be asking. my feeling is that cash now is better put to use in investments in businesses like farms and fresh water production and energy production than sitting in a safe deposit box ...these businesses should...

    Why most traders are losers

    even IF every word of your story is true (and Im not saying it isnt), it just reminds me of Forest Gump. You gambled (in a foolish and overleveraged way to begin with) and WON. Congratulations. But that was NOT trading, it was gambling, you admit as much yourself. In fact, on all of the initial...

    Ron Paul had it RIGHT 20 years ago!!!

    Man, I love Stock Turder. I have never seen postings so 180 degrees wrong. Almost the exact opposite of intelligent EVERY time, without fail, regardless of the specific subject. Hilarious, and at the same time, the ultimate contrarian indicator. Odysseus

    'Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years

    It isnt simply a matter of leverage or reserves. Unfortunately, the required reserve levels even for regulated assets is miniscule - fractional reserve banking is a joke, the actual reserve levels are far less than the oft-quoted 10%....usually 1% to 2%. THIS is the true cause of catastrophy...

    Trader Tim Knight, creator of prophet.net, makes bold new call for Dow 5500

    hey I *love* stockturders opinions - they are invariably 180 degrees off, regardless of the specific subject; economy, trading, religion, politics, you name it. I have never seen a better contrarian indicator in my life, and diversified amongst disciplines, no less! Keep the opinions flying...

    OpenQuant - SmartQuant's new product for the retail market

    I agree, CP, fully hands-off is TOUGH. Only recently have I been able to achieve resolution to the mechanical aspects of autotrading, so that I can focus on trade strategies themselves. Without boring anyone with the details, if you really want to fully autotrade "hands off", you have to FIRST...

    Today the main feature of the US economy – government Bailouts.

    libertad, those were 2 of the best posts I have ever read here. You are 100% spot on. COULD it happen? SHOULD it happen? Absolutely. But WILL it? unfortunately, only 1%-3% of the general populace agrees with us on the general principles involved. Just look how Ron Paul has placed. If we...

    Experiences with Collective2

    Yea Matthew has fixed much of the site to eliminate potential for abuse (that scheme, as has been pointed out, wouldnt be possible now). My experience as a trader/member AND developer for a couple years now is that it suffers from being too much of a one-man operation - I mean Matthew can only...
