No, the Fed doesn't buy stocks. Stocks crashed in the first place because of concerns that the European debt crisis would cause massive bank failures. Stocks are rallying now because the market has judged that the Europeans will paper over the Greek losses and probably keep things limping...

The poll excludes Ron Paul, just like typical Fox News polls, so is worthless.

I want a 20% tax on stupidity. (That would logically include an extra 20% tax on all congressmen other than Ron Paul.) Tax what you want less of.

Businessmen always cry "labor shortage!" even when our unemployment rate is 10% or more. The politicians listen, bring in more H-1b workers, and then the businessmen hire the H-1b workers and layoff their American citizens. I works every time.

In my experience selling bear call credit spreads is just as problematic as selling bull put credit spreads. The skew means that to get the same money on a bear call spread that you would get for a bull put spread you must use strikes closer to the spot price. Selling any sort of credit spread...

The people funding Ron Paul's campaign are mostly ordinary people who want their country back. The guys with big money who want a politician who will comply with their interests will fund any politician but Ron Paul.

Drop jakejones on Ahmajinedad from 5,000 feet up and kill two birds with one stone. jakejones will happily die for Israel.

I despised Dubya but he did demonstrate the advantage to having a white, male President -- you could criticize him, even equate him to a chimpanzee, and not be called a racist or a sexist.

A national health care system *is* a medical cartel - by the government.

The advocates of the Afghanistan war can't even define what "win" means in that context. So of course the war isn't winnable. The War on Terror isn't the sort of thing you can win. (When we we ever say that Terror was defeated?) The whole point of the War on Terror is to have to the...

I've finally figured it out -- you're a disgruntled Muslim trying to make Jews look bad.

Golly -- sign me up! :p

Perry is a disastrous candidate, so I'm happy to see him flame out, whatever the cause.

Seven million American jobs are taken by illegal immigrants. If they weren't here, I'm sure that at least 2 million of those jobs would be taken by blacks. But Obama is a big supporter of illegal immigration. And so is most of the Black Caucus.

Please, jakejones, satisfy *both* of our fantasies -- join the IDF and die for Israel!

Our support of Israel doesn't help the average American, of course. But that doesn't matter. Politicians decide how our tax dollars are spent, and it is personally profitable for politicians to spend the dollars on Israel. Suppose you are Joe Sleeze, professional congressman. There is one...

What our politicians get is a lot of campaign money from Zionists. That's all you need to know to understand the U.S. - Israeli relationship.

Oasis has bought the right to sell shares of Sino Forest at some strike price. Morgan Stanley says, "Fine, sell me the shares, sucker!", which can't be done because the stock is non-trading and Oasis, not actually owning any shares, would first have to buy them. So... what would happen if...

Put them in the same cell as jakejones.

Irgun was a bunch of Jewish terrorists. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
