Obama is so preachy. He starts just about every answer with "Look" in a tone that suggests he knows it all and has all the answers. The fact that he is the least experienced and thinks he knows all the solutions is dangerous. I have looked at his health care proposal in depth and like Edwards...

GWB prolly appointed one of his usually sub par lackeys to be in charge and manged to sabotage the PPT. Like his undersecretary of Commerce who was on bloomie last week trying to sell us the fact that selling previously restricted hi-tech to the Chinese that could be used for their military was...

For a long time the bull case has been growth will sustain us. Growth and thus earnings will be the solid pillar that will stop debt service from crushing the economy. Well when I see the Sox clearly break a multi year uptrend line on the monthly charts in the 1st week of January alone I think...

I completely relate, and the day can't come soon enough :)

Very impressive return Gnome. I started with significantly more than you did 22 years ago and have netted a small fraction of what you have mostly due to youthful lack of discipline and greed/ego. Thanks for the thread. As appreciation for the simple things in life can be temporarily...

Thanks Anek and other contributors for the best thread on ET since at least 2002. Happy New Year, Prospero Anno Nuevo! Good health, good cheer, peace, and prosperity to all in 2008.

If true this is pretty funny, the only true conservative being booted off the GOP debate, by Fox no less. How does the GOP expcte to win in 08 without anyone on the ticket who espouses true conservative values? Looks like we need to get used to the phrase "Madam President".

Recent addition of massive liquidity by the central banks, right? http://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc071224.htm

I would imagine that we know exactly where all of Pakistan's nukes are and in the event of anarchy in Pakistan we would send a few of the deep bunker busting bombs over there to target them with international approval. No need for any US boots on the ground, minimal to no civilian collateral...

Guy probably spent his whole life working his ass off to accomplish what he did and to have it all end so young and with his daughter too, very sad.

Agree with an earlier poster who stated that the biggest fly in the short global equities position right now is the sovereign fund put. It has already started showing up in the beleaguered financials and it is probably the tip of the iceberg. If the US crashes and goes in to depression what...

Hmmm, I wonder who is more patriotic, someone who wants to ensure the standard of living that American's currently enjoy or someone who is happy with the status quo and thinks those, like Ron Paul, who see the warning signs are moonbats. With freinds like Hounddog, the US doesn't need enemies...

About the best cards on the internet are from a pay service called http://www.jacquielawson.com/ but they still aren't that good. There is a real need for paid high quality e-cards with high production value. Anyone looking for a business opportunity this is a good one.

Think I will stick with EEM puts when wanting to short EM, at least until liquidity in EEV improves substantially.

EEM Puts

It could just as easily indicate an oversold condition and the beginning of a powerful rally, just what you might expect prior to a breakout.

I was using a Treo 700w one Verizons EVDO network, slow and buggy, not happy at all with what was a $650 PDA. Considered the small sony Vaio but really can't lug that thing around. Just bought the ATT tilt and this thing blows the Treo out of the water, very fast internet about 4 times as fast...

If you plan to work in the US there will be plenty of HR people who will raise their eyebrow at that, and some will do more than raise an eyebrow. Anywhere else in the world probably not an issue. Cuban policy is nonsense and just pandering to Cuban bloc in Florida. We engage with China and...

Agree, well said Cutten. I used this strategy with the Yen earlier this year by buying Calls on the futures. Gives you time for not very much money and defines your risk.
