this is so silly. the odds of getting robbed on the way home is higher than losing the money if you just left it at wm. if you were really worried, you'd transfer it to another bank.

the general public doesn't watch financial news. they don't read the balance sheets or earnings reports for their banks. i mentioned the imb news to several of my friends and most didn't know what happened. not only that, but some of them never heard of indymac. one of my friends wanted...

naked shorting should be illegal. but why does the sec only care about these stocks? it should be illegal for all stocks or for none.

treasury is the safest, as it invests only in u.s. treasuries. prime and federal mmf contain fannie mae (granted, it's very short term debt). admiral may buy agency bonds such as fannie mae, but in the last filing (feb 2008) it only held u.s. treasuries. fidelity mmf's are safer.

nope, wrong. honda, nissan and toyota each have multiple r&d and design offices in the usa. hondas are very american now. some of the r&d is done in japan, but there's still a lot that goes on in the usa, from design through assembly. and don't underestimate how important the assembly...

i actually expect those two to depreciate more than exotic marques such as ferrari. the gtr and r8 are the next incarnation of the nsx and viper: low-end exotics from non-exotic companies. since they lack the brand name and the mystique, they don't hold up as well. you have to understand in...

ferraris are not holding up in value, except the enzo. you can get a 2007 f430 coupe for about $215k now. they were $240k+ a year ago. i'm a member of some exotic car forums and the softness in the market has been discussed thoroughly.

new ferraris and lamborghinis still sell at or over msrp, that will never change. and new models such as the lp560 have a waiting list. however, used vehicles are dropping hard. i was in the market for 8 months and have seen the depreciation accelerating this year. besides those two makes...

duh, you're incredibly ignorant about cars. you do know that many toyotas and hondas are built in the usa by americans right?

suppose some guy living in your hood has a big gun. one day he invades your neighbor's house and rapes and robs and killls some of them. he knows you have lots of jewelry in your house. then you say you're gonna go out and get your own gun, at which time he points his gun at you and says "if...

the de-regulation and resulting bubble also allowed many people to live large for many years. it's only bad now, but no one was complaining 2 years ago when people were buying nice cars, watches, clothes, homes, plasmas, and taking nice vacations. i personally like the boom-bust cycle...

man i love these "make 100% with low risk" threads. what do you think is gonna happen if iv increases or the stock moves away from your strikes? i hope you didn't open some of these low-risk positions 2 weeks ago.

how can anyone think that the US wants another war after seeing what happened in iraq?

division by zero :p

what's with those two plump chicks unveiling the car? that's gotta be a photoshop job from a ford lover.

how long before he signs up again and what will his new username be? i say 1 hour, and "3lit3_trad3r"

this market is such a c*cktease, like the hot blonde who touches your flesh rocket gently then says "oops sorry, maybe another day". damnit!

i always get filled in between b & a. if i set the limit price aggressively, it takes a while for a fill and the market has to move toward the limit price, but if it's set conservatively it fills very quickly and the market doesn't have to move against me. i've never placed a market order...

and how much do you think does it take to open a swiss bank account?

oh boy.. i hope you're wearing a fireproof suit because you're about to be grilled alive.
