    Nearly 95% of Greek Creditors Agree to Bond-Swap Deal

    Does it really matter? They were all told that if they didn't do it voluntarily, then they were going to be forced into it. Precisely why I don't invest in government bonds. They get to change the rules as they go along.

    Super Tuesday

    Well, I was really close. Mitt -- 404 Rick -- 161 Newt -- 105 Paul -- 61 Newt was the big loser on the night. He needed to do better in his home state. He could've had a shutout there with more than 50% of the vote. He only got 47% where Mitt got 72% in his home state. Rick's...

    Super Tuesday

    I think that Rick is gonna find out how the free press first gives you hope and then destroys you. Just ask Huckabee. At first all the free press is welcomed because the candidate has no money and as the underdog everything that hits the air is positive. Then once you become the front...

    Super Tuesday

    He finished better in Iowa because he spent every day for a couple months traveling the state. Not possible this time through. His real rise didn't come until after Newt flamed out after SC. This exodus away from Newt gave Rick a 3-state win a couple weeks ago. Mitt got complacent when...

    When did I say that re-electing Obama was better?

    Super Tuesday

    IMO, it is naive to assume that Ron Paul could accomplish more than about 10% of what he talks about if he were elected. He would have the ability to withdraw troops and restructure the military, but it would pretty much end there. In terms of cuts in federal spending, he would have to...

    Killing babies no different from abortion, experts say

    IMO, this is the most interesting paragraph in the whole article. That is the real distinction, and this is what many conservatives are arguing. They also agree that there is not a real distinction between a fetus and an infant, and they consider it murder in both cases. When surveyed...

    Super Tuesday

    I think Santorum is now starting to realize what a disadvantage he has. Frankly, he is very lucky that there are only 1/2 as many states voting tomorrow as there normally are. If this election was similar to past years, it would be over tomorrow. He is already having a hard time competing and...

    Help in finding Venture Capital please

    I'm in VC..... Your analogy to other companies like Facebook is not applicable. Facebook was started on a shoestring budget. They did not get any big time VC until it was already catching on. You are still at the stage of funding this from your own savings account or personal loans. I...

    The unlikely alliance..

    I've heard that same thing about 2008. They do tend to gravitate toward each other after the debates are over. Personally even though that was a pretty uneventful debate, I think that Paul contributed to what was absolutely the highlight of the night and what will probably end up as the...

    The unlikely alliance..

    As I've said before, I like both Ron Paul and Mitt Romney, but I don't see the formal alliance between the two that seems to be an accepted fact these days. After last night's debate, Santorum even called them out on it. Or tried to anyway. Hmmm.. that was a really odd comment to make...

    An Incredible invention that may never see the light of day

    Not sure why you think it won't see the light of day. It is a very popular tablesaw amongst woodworkers. There is also a big push right now by safety organizations to force all commercial saws to implement saw stop tech. But Sawstop owns the patent and they would all have to license from...

    IMO, there is no way you can make that assessment from the information provided. If the system trades just 1 ES per $200K, then it is probably scaling into positions, rather than picking tops and bottoms. That isn't a sign of a bad system, it just might be different than what you do.

    Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month

    Maybe I needed to be more specific, but I though it was pretty clear that both situations were referring to the same family. The income of the father is the same regardless. You just assumed that I was talking about two different families.

    Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month

    Then you weren't paying attention. If you were making $80k but now make $60k, that is less income than you making $60k and your wife working part time. Unless your wife is losing money by working.

    Newt supporters getting desparate...

    to show that Newt is still in this. Nevada and Maine start their caucuses tomorrow, and we've gotten just two recent GOP polls for Nevada and none for Maine. Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri are in three days, and we've got nothing for CO or MN and only one poll in the past few months for...

    Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month

    People don't want a certain number of jobs per household, they want a certain income per household. The fewer jobs it takes to reach that income, the better. Example: Family with only one earner making $80K annual in construction. Wife is a homemaker with 2 children, 14yo and 17yo. LFPR...

    Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month

    Well, I'm not certain that I trust their ability to determine what portion of people 55-65 are voluntarily retired and still working just to stay active. Anyway, we can drop that aspect and only consider the student and female demographics. Recessions dramatically effect the flow of...
