    Gov't moves to limit speculative commodity trades

    To get that answer you'd have to compare the price of commodities priced in the reverse currency -- currently the USD -- and compare the price of the same commodity priced in a foreign currency. If the correlation is very strong, and I suspect it is, this proposal will do nothing unless the...

    Taxpayers subsidizing goldmans $450M investment in facebook!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well....let's see. Is WTF actually a question or a statement? Notice I didn't forget the "?"! So...let's go to an authoritative source and ask Google. I think I have found clear and convincing evidence that WTF can be used as both a question and a statement so 007 has been vindicated...

    Taxpayers subsidizing goldmans $450M investment in facebook!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The only way the cozy relationship between the Banks and the Fed ends is in a complete collapse of the banking system that even the Fed can't stop, however that situation would unfold - i.e. massive deflation, massive inflation. The Fed is really nothing more than a middleman between the...

    Banks reporting PHANTOM INCOME on delinquent mortgages!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There's an estimated $6T sitting in IRA's and 401(k)'s that could keep the ponzi scheme going for quite a while. This article is old and dated at the height of the crisis but I couldn't find anything on snopes to dispute it...

    Banks reporting PHANTOM INCOME on delinquent mortgages!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The US Economy is beginning to resemble a small family-owned business. There are a set of rules for the family - high pay, short hours, babes and booze - and a set of rules for everyone else - low pay, long hours, an atta-boy on your birthday.

    Goldman predicts 1500 SPX in 2011

    Ain't that the truth but forget buying under 1000 -- short it all the way down there! This current market sucks unless you buy and hold. Every day it's basically gap and die. The intra-day movement blows. I made more money in 2008 than 2009 and 2010 combined. Down markets generate...

    IL state income taxes to go up 75%?!?!?!?!?!

    And there is talk about raising property taxes again too. Since the income tax went through the prop tax hike will probably fizzle, hopefully.

    IL state income taxes to go up 75%?!?!?!?!?!

    Basically the same reason but I could work from anywhere in the world but having to move out of state? Shit, I hated moving 20 minutes away the last time I bought a house. I'm dying here. This tax is just temporary after all, right? Right? I remember something about the tollroads being...

    IL state income taxes to go up 75%?!?!?!?!?!

    They did just the opposite. Quinn and Co. got pay raises as high as 20% http://capitolfax.com/2010/07/12/the-complete-utter-hypocrisy-of-the-quinn-pay-raises/

    IL state income taxes to go up 75%?!?!?!?!?!

    Well....when you're born and raised in a state such as Illinois and all of your ties are with that state it ain't so easy to just get up and move. Job, family, friends, etc.

    Housing is now in below Depression erra levels

    As usual EMR, right on spot. I went to a tax seminar today discussing the tax implications of the health care bill. It cost me $65 and saved me researching what's actually in that monster. Without having to repeat any of the fines that businesses are going to be exposed to, I can easily say...

    Fed Spending Will Create 3 Million Jobs: Yellen HAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!

    There is a severe bottle neck in the monetary system that the Fed seems to be ignoring. People and businesses are paying down debt, not acquiring it and qualified borrowers are more scarce compared to the period prior to 2007. Money is flowing into the banking system but it's getting stuck in...

    Ron Paul: "The U.S. Government Must Admit It Is Bankrupt"

    Unfortunate but true. Our founding fathers are turning in their graves.

    Ron Paul: "The U.S. Government Must Admit It Is Bankrupt"

    The only reason bills are still getting paid is because the Government/Fed is creating money at will to pay those bills. When you need a new credit card to pay off an old credit card you are bankrupt. $14.02T and counting: http://www.usdebtclock.org/

    Thinking about doing some managed futures

    WhiteOUt, are you looking to start a commodity futures pool, where all the money is pooled together - i.e. a Hedge Fund, or are you looking to manage individual accounts and how much money and for how many people are you looking to manage? I have a lot of experience in this area and can help...

    job market is grim, particularly if u r 50+

    Agree. Becoming a CPA doesn't guarantee you of anything. All it does is open some doors. It's a question of whether you want to walk through them or not. Here's a brief video to illustrate my point...

    job market is grim, particularly if u r 50+

    Definitely correct but you're missing my point. You either put yourself in a postion where someone will ring your phone or you take matters into your own hands. In most states you need roughly 24 hours of accounting to sit for the CPA. If you're unemployed you got nothing but time. Take out...

    goldman. s&p going to 1500 +20% this year.

    Well....since Abby J didn't put this out maybe not but seeing as GS is pretty infamous for getting very bullish near tops ($200 Oil Mega Spike - LOL) we might be close. GS's conviction list has nothing but Buy's! But then there's the Fed, that blasted Fed. They can't let the market fall...
