    Even if it goes through, this bailout will help no-one

    I don't think many people understand how this securitised mortgages work, and this lack of understanding is going to cost people a lot of money. Right now the new line we are hearing from washington is that, well if we buy these distressed mortgages the government can work with the homeowner...

    Trading needs the same "revolution" that martial arts went through 15 years ago

    Ok, I'm really not trying to start a fight, but my point is that using MMA or any other "sport" to say one style is the best is probably not very practical. I'd have no problem stipulating that a dedicated tai chi guy is going to get his ass beat by a fairly ho hum boxxer, that any half ass...

    Trading needs the same "revolution" that martial arts went through 15 years ago

    First off, I don't consider myself to be any kind of expert. I started boxxing when I was 9, almost 10, and from the time I was 18 until I was 26 I was very active with Tang Soo Do. I enjoyed them both, but I was not fanatical and did them both mostly to have something to do, be active and do...

    Similarities between USA and Roman empire

    Do people who think like this, who can't see that the big picture, that history, politics etc all effect the markets, really make money in the markets?

    Intrade: Obama 62 -McCain 37

    Your so full of crap. I had orginally planned on voting for McCain, however I have now decided I'm just not voting for president. Sarah Palin is proving herself to have been a bad choice, but if he dropped her now you guys would rip into him even more then you have been and he would end up...

    Paulson tried to panic America!

    Had my left boob cut off on Thursday, I guess it evens me out (prevents back problems in the future :)) as I had the right one removed in either April or May. Overall I've not been feeling too bad though, thanks for asking.

    Paulson tried to panic America!

    Most people never took Econ 101, if they did they did not pay attention. All people are reluctant to experience pain (go put your hand on a hot stove), so it's very easy for the politicians to rile people up and scare them with a recession, pretending that it can somehow be avoided..when in...

    If you are a trader or investor, Congressional Republicans deserve your praise

    100% agreed, and it should also be noted that about 1/3 of Democrats had the spine to vote against this bill too.

    New York Democrats all but 3 vote yes.

    Uhm...well to be fair only ONE out of the SIX republican lawmakers had the class to vote no. The shame is not exclusively with the democrats.

    What will Jim Cramer say tonight? PART II

    I have come on here dozens of times and defended Jim Cramer. He does not have an easy job, I would not like to have to go on TV every day and give tens of stock picks. However, for him to go up there today and deny the chaos and agony he has likely caused people buy telling them this is not a...

    Did McCain Blow It?

    Agree'd. He should stand by his convictions and make sure this bailout does not happen.

    Michael Moore Is Against The Bailout

    I'm sure its not for the right reasons, but at this point I don't care. Probably the smartest idea he has ever had, hopefully some of his followers will listen to him and convence the democratic reps to change votes.

    Obama's "truth squad" ready to throw you in jail

    I'd like to withdraw my critical comments on Obama, his campaign and his "truth squad" in that it appears that McCain also has one. http://www.kmov.com/localnews/stories/kmov_election_092808_truthsquad.bec69e89.html?npc They both should be ashamed, and Americans should be sick that partisan...

    I admire the House Republicans for growing some BALLS

    Agree ice. I love how the democrats are always claiming that Wall Street has the GOP in its back pocket, this vote would suggest it's the other way around.
