from the article: New data released Monday show that more than half of all homeowners who had their loans modified to make the payments more affordable in the first half of the year are already in default again. this is EXACTLY what i said would happen. deadbeats are deadbeats for a...

that's because it doesn't cost $40-60 to produce crude from shale or tar sands as he claims. it's around $25-30. they're not hurting. they're just not as profitable as back in july.

how much $ did you bet and how? the market will plummet if it's 7.4%.

yeah we're at a bottom. that's why housing prices continue to drop, unemployment continues to rise, earnings continue to fall off a cliff, why the fed is going to cut rates again. the bottom doesn't happen when numbers continue to accelerate the wrong way. it happens when things flatten...

most people with specific skills from an established career wouldn't be able to find another good job. they likely will end up starting their own business or working customer phone support for an insurance company or selling furniture or learn to bartend.

we're not oversold by every benchmark. how about the benchmarks that say the economy is buried 10 feet under right now? a rapidly contracting world economy, accelerating unemployment, falling corporate earnings, falling personal net worth, consumer outlook at multi-decade lows?

the o.p. is a newb. i'm not exactly a fan of ib, but they only sell enough to get the account within the maintenance margin. he must have been leveraged out the ass when the market moved against him

it's nice until you hook it up to a home theater system and try play modern formats such as 5.1 or 7.1

if it's the mealy bug then alcohol will definitely kill them. increase the % until it does. try 91% or 100% rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol, which will dissolve them.

this is why the fed is praying that productivity increases enough to offset the growing money supply. if that happens, ben is off the hook and will be seen as the genius who averted the depression of 2009. if it doesn't, then we'll see one of the ugly scenarios you mentioned.

the video came from a 70's documentary "the lion at world's end". there's also a book written about it by the two men. watch the documentary for yourself and decide whether the lion was showing affection or dominance as you claim.

is it the mealy bug? looks like tiny bits of cotton. spraying with alcohol works well. if it's not working, don't dilute w/ water. it won't kill the plant either

to gain credibility with the black population, obama enrolled in an ESL (ebonics as a second language) course at a community college in the hood (washington dc). furthermore, he's gonna customize the white house limo by putting on 22's with spinners. it's gonna be one pimp ass ride. i'm...

walmart is a ghetto, the retail store version of a housing project. take a look at the shoppers who go to that long island walmart and it confirms this.

one thing's for sure, i hate those attention seekers who threaten to jump off a bridge. we've had incidents where idiots would shut down a major bridge that carries thousands of cars per hour, causing untold havoc and trouble for hundreds of thousands of people. i say, if they can't be talked...

what happens when the semi swerves and hits other cars, or the impact causes your car to be thrown into other traffic? wouldn't a smart person drive into a tree instead? or lie down in front of a freight train

oh goodie, another delusion trader's gambling thread. this thread will die by jan 2009 when he blows out. it is absolutely impossible to consisently make that much, that quickly. just one bad week or two is the difference between averaging 6% per week and 2% per week, nevermind the 26% he...

8th grade math lesson here. beginning of the bubble: $150k 50% increase from 150k = 225k 25% off of 225k = 168.8k so there's only 11% more to go to reach 150k again. you can't add fractions(percentages) when they have a different denominator

obama is as white as they come. he just happens to have dark skin. he smiles, he has no gold teeth, he can't speak fluent ebonics , and his kids will grow up listening to classical and cracker music, not r&b or ghetto rap. this is why he became president. do you think a "real" black man...
