You guys are misunderestimating the mind of a genius. The greatest mind on Wall St. continually calls a bottom until one day, it doesn't matter when, the bottom actually is in and then he replays his great call over and over just in case you missed it. ("THEY KNOW NOTHING!")...

Be nice to see a project like this in Arizona. 300 days a year of blazing sun and the Palo Verde nuclear power plant would power most of Arizona and a big chunk of So Cal.

Sounds like an average Friday night for me. Legally, I don't think you have to list misdemeanors but you might want to anyway, just so they know what type of guy they're hiring. You should fit right in with the rest of the screw balls working for them so don't sweat it.

You beat me to it. What did Bush's advisers tell him? The war would cost 50 billion, give or take a trillion dollars?

Idiots began using this OTC version for a guaranteed lay with a skank, the media ran with the story and next thing you know a previously OTC supplement was labeled the "date rape drug" (as if alcohol isn't a the world's undisputed date rape champion) and is now considered as bad as crack or...

Yes. I felt it too. It was a disturbance in the force. The evil empire is poised for a shotgun style 200-point rally in the final minutes. I wonder whose turn it is to gun SPY the last hour of trading? JPM? Or maybe MS will swap IWM for SPY this week so it doesn't look so damn obvious.

I had to look it up. No surprise in who said it.

Help me out here. Approximately 160K metric tons of gold exist in the world today. Assuming gold used in industry is outlawed and gold used for jewelry is outlawed and all the citizens in the world forfeit their gold to central banks, at its current bloated value all that gold is worth $5.1T...

How much do you know about RSH's business? Other than noticing their empty stores and knowing they've been in business for almost a century now, I don't know much about them. Management is obviously doing something right, surviving the Depression and a dozen or so recessions, but is selling a...

I haven't seen the inside of a Radio Shack in years. It's amazing, isn't it? Radio Shack has a business model the couldn't possibly work, especially with the rise in discount internet shopping, yet here they are, plugging right along. The only things to survive a nuclear war are cockroaches...

It's bullshit but Vegas (among others) had more than enough pull in Washington to outlaw internet gambling in the good 'ol US of A, land of the free. Never mind taxing it, we need to outlaw competitors. Matters very little to me anyway. Ever since Ultimate Bet and their sister web site...

She's almost 27 now, but I doubt she was 27 in that pic. She's certainly beautiful though. She's half Japanese and looks 100% Caucasian in some of her pics and Asian in others. I've never seen anything like it.

Ask again late fall, that is, if the Swine Flu follows the same pattern as the Spanish Flu and comes back strong later in the year.

I see your point with commodity stocks and I agree inflation is a real danger. But I'm still on the fence with inflation increasing the nominal value of the broader market. Right now I see high inflation as a one step forward, one step backwards scenario with the market. It's a tough issue...

I'm unsure of the rationale behind the high inflation = higher equity prices, too. 1974-1981 saw the highest inflation rate since before the Great Depression and I see no pattern in the Dow that supports the "stocks will go up with inflation" theory. If anything, there was extreme volatility...

Misguided and misinformed but I guess his issues are close enough to reality for government work (and I would love to see him on CNBC, too). Since I've heard it for bulk of my time on this earth, that accent drives me nuts. I'll be talking with a twang for the rest of the day now.

Yes. Their piece of the domestic pie is going to keep growing. The funny thing is, and I agree with the OP on Fording getting screwed over, Ford's CEO went to Washington to support a bailout for GM and Chrysler. I know the companies share supply networks, but it still seems like an odd thing...

Yeah, it's hard to go bankrupt unless the printing presses explode from overuse. Trendy, I'm pretty sure the Roman Empire did not use a fiat currency but I'm not sure about the 3rd British Empire. I think they used an early form, something tied to paying taxes, but gold and silver still...

With the 10-year and mortgage rates creeping up, the FOMC meeting June 23-24 should be interesting. It looks like more QE on the way, and despite its modest recovery over the last few days, the dollar should continue it's rollover on the news. And with the USD/SP500 negative correlation...

Gap insurance.
