Do any of you really, truly believe it makes any difference as to who is elected, as long as it's someone from either of the two political parties that run candidates that we love to tell our children comprise these 'free and fair' elections? Honestly now.

I rarely comment on conspiracy theories about the Illuminati, Bilderberg Conference/Group, Bohemian Grove, etc., etc., etc. But this is a quick video of comments George Carlin made, and it is very general in tone and content. Therefore, I think that this is a very good Rorschach Test as to...

No, you don't have to be registered. The first 5 articles are free, and then you can just clear your cookies, and it starts anew. I posted this some time ago, and it's excellent. Someone mentioned an add on for Firefox that would allow free access to the WSJ and FT (a Digg-centric issue)...

That's a very fair point. I tried to edit the title to state '1 in 10 Home owner's in Default,' but the 30 minutes was already up. As to the rest of you points, even had I been able to edit the title, you're also correct, as well. Finally, speculators' paradises such as Vegas, Phoenix...

The correct answer is it should not matter to all you whack-a-mole day traders. It matters to us swing traders, though.

I'm a libertarian, and I am just as torn as you are. One one hand, I would never want to deny law enforcement, the majority of whom are outstanding people, the ability to defend themselves adequately against well-armed criminals (the Bank of America robbery in Hollywood springs to mind)...

Unbelievable. I'm not really sure what else to say. This rivals that 'forced feminization' lawsuit filed against SAC Capital. You just can't make this shit up no matter how imaginative you are.

+1 Twice, just in the last eight years!

LEH is gonna' burn bright red embers, baby!

I would like to be the first to officially call Jim Rogers a 'Douche nozzle.' For reference: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1946815#post1946815

The thread title makes no sense according to this: "A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching: a bag for holding the water or fluid used in douching. To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for a vaginal douche and an enema."...

Elitetrader gives me the edge I need to steam towards my life aspiration of becoming a BSD.

Wow. Just....wow. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/06/business/06mortgage.html Nearly 1 in 10 American Homeowners Face Problems With Loans By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM Published: June 6, 2008 Nearly 1 in 10 American homeowners faced foreclosure or fell behind in their mortgage payments in...

Wish away. See how far that takes you.

Maybe Bernanke will let Lehman swap its bad debt for Treasuries. ...You know, like they did for everyone else that had invested in atrociously over-appreciated mortgage backed securities.

Regardless of who wins, the Alternative Minimum Tax MUST be done away with. As always, until the sheeple wake up, we'll never get the flat tax that would truly renew America's economy.

Big, legitimate concern. If they raise cap gains and eliminate preferential treatment of dividends, muni bonds may have a nice spike. Although, cap gains were 28% under Clinton, and dividends were taxed at a higher rate (I think) and things still did relatively well.

I'm all for gridlock if it shuts down spending. I remember when the budget 'crisis' ensued. I loved it. I wish they would have shut down all non-essential governmental services (and I mean non-essential in the most literal sense; give me water, police and national defense). I'm an...

The last issue of Forbes had an op/ed piece by Ken Fisher where he opined that Obama would be better for equity markets than McCain. I will try and link it if I can. Ken Fisher is a conservative, one of the most successful money managers of all time, and the fact he weighed in so...
