Friends, Americans, countrymen, lend me your ears. The time has come for a single, flat tax. A tax that is neither regressive nor progressive, and incorporates no sliding scale. A tax that shows no bias. A tax that is so simple to compute, it can be calculated with a single pencil...

Maybe there is hope, after all. I thought Wallace had lost all credibility, but I'm glad to see that he is not completely lost. He should next take Fox News to task over its compulsion to thwart Ron Paul's ability to present in the Republican Nominee Debates at every chance it got. I...

Warren Buffet must be a braindead, flaming moonbat. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293474,00.html Billionaire Warren Buffet Hosts Fundraiser for Barack Obama Thursday, August 16, 2007 OMAHA, Neb. — Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says it can get a little lonely being a...

Visa will stay elevated until the lock up period expires, at which time it should be shorted back below its IPO price, and then you can long again assuming the fundamentals are sound, at probably $30 to $35 dollars. This will not be a Mastercard redux - not when you contrast the last 5 years...

Do you have a shred of evidence to support that? Moreover, are you contradicting President Bush himself? (You are aware that even President Bush, albeit somewhat begrudgingly, admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 when asked that direct question by a reporter, right?) <object...

During times of parabolic rise in the value of specific assets (Shiller points to housing as the biggest asset bubble in the history of humanity), if debt is leveraged to those assets in even a remotely proportionate fashion (e.g. $1 of debt to each $25 or $50 of appreciation), and then the...

Debt can be good or bad. It depends both on the reason for the debt, and the time wherein such debt is incurred. (You may use credit as an interchangeable synonym for 'debt,' for purposed of this post, if you so choose) It increasingly appears that much of the debt taken on by consumers...

Bison (buffalo) is remarkably lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than beef. The same trend holds true for most 'wild' varieties of animal proteins: Ostrich, elk, venison, kangaroo - all much lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than beef. You can get necessary trace minerals such as...

Outstanding post.

It's not over by a long shot, and no, I did not own, nor was I short, BSC or JPM shares at any time prior to the event. This deal, for all the talk of it being "done," is so complicated, and so many kinks have to be worked out yet, and so many lawsuits are flying (discovery is a nasty process...

You are statistically so far ahead of the average person, it's hard to quantify. If you exercise, even moderately, in a way that elevates your heart rate for 20 minutes or more (sustained) 3x times a week (45 minutes+ w/pulse rate at 120 or above 5x a week is nearly ideal), you are so far...

Does anyone have experience with them? How is their customer service, order execution, etc? Please, do not chime in if you are affiliated with any options trading firm, because I really would like the opinions of customers of these types of firms, and do not want sales pitches. Thanks.

Poor Jim Cramer. He's so persecuted. Does he wear a crown of thorns?

Healthy fats include those rich in omega 3, such as fat from the blubber of whales and other fish, along with vegetable and plant derived fats, including pistachios, olives and canola and sunflower seeds. While it is debatable as to whether animal based fats (those maintaining solidity at...

I am playing otm calls and otm puts on BSC, because the bid/ask spread is extremely wide. I love this play. It is the most sexy play ever, and if I can make a ton of money, b/c it fails, or because BSC forces a much higher bid, or because a bankruptcy occurs, it's even better for me. A...

+1 ng, you're right. I was going to straddle BSC, but the puts are exponentionally higher than the calls. One is better off naked shorting to the downside.

TALK BACK: Holder Will Vote No To Force Bankruptcy Liquidation 7 minutes ago - Dow Jones News The comment below responds to the question we posed on Dow Jones NewsPlus: Should Bear Stearns (BSC) holders accept the $2 a share offer JP Morgan (JPM) and why? Here's what Nye Lavalle, a...

Well, a true vegan diet would exclude any animal or mammal proteins or byproducts. So, fish and seafood would not be acceptable to a true vegan. I do think some unprocessed 'red' animal protein is healthy, as it contains zinc, B3 (niacin) and B6, essential amino acids, and iron. You...

Why does he (and his aliases) always make himself (themselves) scarce on down days?

Contrary to a lot of misinformation circulating (not there, but in the mainstream press), JP Morgan has an option to buy "up to" 20% of BSC shares.
