    Obama says he is gonna reduce costs?

    No chance. Maybe $350k. That's still way too much. He may gross $3.5mm before office expenses, malpractice, etc.

    Help with trend following techniques

    In a nut shell, this is the tricky part about trading.... Once you identify a HH or LL situation, sometimes the trend will continue and other times it will reverse course. How do you identify which time it will continue and which times it will reverse???? I have no clue. Solve this...

    •Ex-Reagan &Harvard Economist Feldstein Detects Risk of Double-Dip Recession in U.S.

    This is where the rubber will meet the road, IMO. Tax increases, which are certain in 2010, will have a negative impact on the economy. Add in Obama's healthcare and cap & trade plans. If and when, those two pieces of garbage come to fruition and you have yourself the catalyst for a huge...

    increase in troop numbers

    A) We've come too far for Obama to lose Iraq and/or Afghanistan and our military is stretched very thin, so the troops are necessary. B) There are still threats in this world, including China, Russia, N. Korea and Iran. So someone has to step up to the plate and maintain a strong military...

    tax the rich for health care

    If I had to guess, I would say 70% of ET posters make less than $35,000. Still, the idea stands, that soaking the rich is not a good idea or the solution to deficits.

    Fast food places now getting applications from people with bachelors degrees

    Regardless of whether this poster "went" or not, his post is correct. Look at the increase in tuition over the past couple of decades, relative to inflation. These professors (many of whom are state employees), love their tenure, nice salaries and expensive "educational" trips overseas at...

    CNBC (Wardrobe Department) Has Heeded Your Call For More Amanda Drury!

    Seriously, how do guys like Dennis Kneale even get (and keep) their jobs? Is financial journalism that unattractive to j majors?

    Fast food places now getting applications from people with bachelors degrees

    I agree that degrees are overvalued when it comes down to it. I know a lot of people with BA's that should be working a register at SBUX and plenty of people with only HS diplomas that are very wealthy. The numbers still make sense for people to get a college degree however. The unemployment...

    tax the rich for health care

    I'm 100% certain that this isn't his average. Clearly, there will be many hours where he is making far less that that. In fact, many dentists offer free check-ups, etc for new patients (loss-leader). This dentist may very well be over charging, or he may not. We certainly don't know all...

    WSJ: The Small Business Surtax

    Democrats will lose some seats in 2010 and may just take a beating in 2012, if they keep up with this. Taxing the rich into obvlivion will not help the job situation. Obama, for all his greatness only defeated McCain (a very weak candidate), by what 4 or 5 points? This means that...

    Doctors In Financial Trouble: Many Selling Their Practices & Switching Careers

    I agree, but the vast majority of these socialist mided people are likely unsuccessful at trading (and everything else). They're not taking anyone's money.

    Doctors In Financial Trouble: Many Selling Their Practices & Switching Careers

    Believe me, when you're being operated on in the middle of the night, you do not want a "government employee" standing over you open abdomin. As someone else said earlier, be careful of what you wish for. Some day you will have your wish most likely and I will guess that you won't be too...

    tax the rich for health care

    Typical moron who has never owned/managed a business and has no clue. Do yo think that in that $2k, there are some other costs associated besides just the "dentist's time"? Do dentists typically have a handful of people employed in the office? Do they pay rent? Do they have expenses for their...

    Bernanke To Host Circus...Umm...I Mean 'Town Hall' Meeting, w/Audience Participation

    Ok, enough said. You're claiming that you earn 7.5% on your money each hour of trading. That tells me all I need to know..... :D That's fucking laughable.

    Bernanke To Host Circus...Umm...I Mean 'Town Hall' Meeting, w/Audience Participation

    Grow up??? I'm not the one living in a bunker because I think everything is a global conspiracy and the world is coming to an end. People have been making these claims since the beginning of time. Who is more of a child? The guy running around screaming "the sky is falling!" or the...

    Bernanke To Host Circus...Umm...I Mean 'Town Hall' Meeting, w/Audience Participation

    Let me guess... regardless of my views on the Federal Reserve, you'll come back with a "sheeple" comment if I don't buy into all of your conspiracies. I guess I just get a kick out of the fact that DESPITE all of the Fed's diabolical plans for New World Order domination, people alive today in...

    Bernanke To Host Circus...Umm...I Mean 'Town Hall' Meeting, w/Audience Participation

    Well, if they didn't scrub the questions and screen the audience, let's face it. This place would be wall to wall conspiracy theorists talking non-stop "fed/new world order/amero/rothschild/gold standard"

    Doctors In Financial Trouble: Many Selling Their Practices & Switching Careers

    Again, don't believe the hype. Infant mortality rates can easily be manipulated by countries and agencies. Cuba is often listed ahead of the US, but do you honestly believe their reported rates aren't manipulated. Also, the US has a higher black population than many of the Scandinavian...

    An Anectode That Speaks Volumes: Dollar Store Puts My Local Hallmark Store Out of Biz

    That's a good thing. I'm not sure in 2009, that we need 50 year olds making $40k + beny's for sacking groceries.
