If I was going to buy and hold, i'd be buying companies like VZ (people are going to be going way over their minutes with calls to their brokers saying SELL SELL SELL), and I'd buy BP (gas prices in Europe are 10 bucks a gallon and people will be buying lots of gas to set their homes on fire to...

BRK-A was 140,900 per share a week ago(oct 3). Now its 107,900 meaning he's lost about 17.9 billion in 1 week. So he is losing about 107 million dollars per hour or 1,780,000 per minute...or break it down one more time to 29k per second. Imagine looking at your IB account and seeing it...

I've been traveling out of the country for a year and all my stocks are so much lower. Did they all split 2 for 1? How come i dont have the extra shares in my account? Did the dow split too?

What am I missing? New Turkish lira doesnt seem much more volitile than the rest of the currencies. 10k bucks in an account and short one 100k lot and collect 13% interest per month! How come everyone isnt doing it?

My mom bought about 15k of Phillip Morris a few years ago for 39 bucks per share. It went up, spun off KFT then later split in two (MO, PM) Now all the stocks are worth a little more than 35k or so, but she holds it for the divy, cause i think she's getting about 1200 per year or so from all...
