War mongering, Constitution shredding neocons are much more a threat to my country than so-called "terrorists" in Syria. Operation Susannah The Attack on the U.S.S. Liberty The Pollard Case The Dancing Israelis With friends like Israel, who needs enemies?

Perry is as big an advocate of open borders as Obama. He favors giving illegal immigrants tax payer funded benefits. Perry worked for the Al Gore Presidential campaign, and was a big advocate for Hillarycare. He really ought to be running as a Democrat. Of course Perry is as much in favor of...

All too true. But don't forget that McCain is every bit as bad as Palin, plus he doesn't even have a good pair of boobs. If the Republicans had had the good sense to nominate Ron Paul, *that* would have been an interesting race. The pro-peace candidate vs. the pretend-to-be-pro-peace...

BAC won't go bankrupt because of shorters. BAC will only go bankrupt because they have so many dud mortgages and because of lawsuits about the dud mortgages they passed to other parties. Hedges funds could short Proctor and Gamble down to $20 a share and it wouldn't affect the company one...

We don't have a down tick rule for buying stocks so I never figured what the point was for having an up tick rule for shorting them.

Well I looked at the SPX yesterday, saw a chart in obvious roll over mode, and bought some SPY puts. I closed them out this morning with a decent gain. Of course the rest of my portfolio tanked. Why do I ever buy those damn stocks?

What the heck is a risk adjusted prob?

Don't forget that no matter how high unemployment is we keep importing close to 100,000 legal immigrants per month. (Plus tens of thousands of illegal immigrants.) So if no new jobs are created unemployment doesn't stay the same -- it goes up.

When Obama tells a blatant lie that 50,000 troops in a war zone are somehow not "combat troops" you defend him. If George W. Bush stated the same sort of nonsense you have no trouble calling him a liar.

There is no such thing as "noncombat troops". The troops there are getting shot at and attacked with IEDs just as they have since they first occupied Iraq. Labeling troops in a war zone "noncombat" is like saying that the war in Libya does not require congressional authorization because we...

Gag me. Federal family = Big Brother.

Just how were the deficits financed?

Can anyone recommend a good broker for trading corporate bonds, including convertible bonds? (IB is okay for most corporate bonds, but they don't handle convertible bonds.)

Wrong. All the people salivating for war with Iran are Israel firsters, including the 80% of our congressmen who are whores to AIPAC. A war on Iran is a war for Israel, not the U.S. Iran just isn't much of a threat to the U.S., and wouldn't be a threat at all if we didn't keep threatening to...

Perry and Romney both suck. If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination (more than likely, unfortunately) I will once again be voting for a third party candidate as a protest vote. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

Well, from Prof. O'Hara quoted in that article: "The SEC should recognize this new role and change the reporting rules regarding odd-lot trades." So fine, the SEC should do that. Problem solved.

Israelis should have to pay for Israel's wars, not us. Please move to Israel, the country you are actually loyal to. I hope you're Jewish, because if you're not, you may find it difficult to immigrate there.

Please provide me with some evidence that Ron Paul is corrupt. Lobbyists don't even bother to contact him.

Sure, you don't earn rent with gold and you do with real estate. OTOH, you don't pay annual property taxes on gold, have to fix broken plumbing, or deal with tenants who game the system and don't pay rent for months. I suspect that if you include rent that commercial real estate would do...
