First of all. the WSJ uses the term bear market when it refers to the fact that the market retreated more than 20% from it's high. Second of all, why care what newspapers say when nobody reads them anymore?

Obama needs this double digit lead. He not only needs to be out of the margin of error, he needs to be out of range of the Bradley effect too. I believe he will win the election, but it's going to be much closer than these polls suggest. The lead will increase as we get closer to election...

This doesn't sound right, although I don't see why the OP would be yanking our chains over this. If it's real, perhaps the OP misunderstood his friend's offer. Did the friend at the hedge fund offer to sell you stock and guarantee you against loss? If that's what he did, then yes it is illegal...

No, we will never default or be bankrupt. However, our currency could become about as worthless as Zimbabwe's if we don't get control of our spending and borrowing.

big dave, you get five stars for being the first person on this board to point that out. I have been prodding the Paulites to do this themselves but they just couldn't bring themselves to do it. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that they totally ignore this too. You just committed blasphemy...

I used to believe that he did not trade either. His statements to the media, in all forms, newspapers, televisiong, etc., seemed to indicate he would have been banrupted several times over if he was actually trading his words. But we know from the Refco fiasco that he had an account there, and...

November 4, gentlemen, November 4. The harder you try to convince the world you are right, the more crow you will have to eat on November 5.

Front page above the fold story in the WSJ today says Obama opens a double digit lead. The story says, "Overall, the poll found 52% of voters favor Sen. Obama versus 42% for Sen. McCain. That ten point lead is up from a six-point Obama edge two weeks ago. The survey of registered voters...

I love Ron Paul's ideals and some of his ideas, but he was the worst candidate I've ever seen. How does someone go on Meet the Press to discuss eliminating the income tax without even knowing how much the income tax brings in? It just made him look like a buffoon. It makes no difference how much...

WTF???? I never watch CNBC, but now I see why so many people complain about it. I had to turn that video off after 2 minutes. That was by far and away the worst interview I've ever seen by a "professional broadcaster". He knew damb good and well what Rogers meant by "bankrupt" and he's...

His hardon for car companies is because car companies are notorious for hoarding cash. He was buying up Chrysler back in the 90's because they had a huge amount of cash on the books and he wanted to get it paid out as a dividend. he was unsuccesful in his attempt to get the cash, but if I...

Your ES 940 post is in chit chat, it wasn't deleted. While searching for it I noticed that you have 14 posts total, and almost all of them are telling someone to screw their head on straight.

I tried my best to listen to Air America. Al Franken's show was boring beyond description. I mean I really tried to listen but I couldn't do it. Al was out of his element. After Al's show another liberal talk show came on hosted by Ed Schultz. Less boring, but still not worth listening to...

You guys who are worried about those liberal newspapers spreading liberal hogwash have not been looking at your charts. Pull up a chart for the New York Times, (NYT), and McClatchey, (MNI). In a few years you will have to go out and shop for bird cage liner.

to ban same sex marriage. Print Back to story Palin breaks with McCain on gay marriage amendment 1 hr 51 mins ago NEW YORK – Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin says she supports a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, a break with John McCain who has said...

The Amex doesn't even try to get stock listings anymore. I remember back when a Nasdaq stock would move "up" to the Amex, now stocks on the Amex move "up" by getting listed on the Naz. As a matter of fact, now that I think of it, all stocks on the Naz used to be reffered to as OTC instead of...

Wow. You went to the trouble of creating a website devoted to trashing some poor little rich kid? I find Sykes annoying too, but don't you think you're going a little too far?

Back in 1988 before I had ever opened a brokerage account, or before I even knew there was a stock market, I picked up a copy of the USA Today. The USA Today was kind of new and hip back then. They had the audacity to have color photos and graphics. I was a young sailor in the navy without...

It doesn't really matter what a person's time frame is when comparing him to someone else. At the end of the year Buffett will have placed maybe 5 trades, and the typical internet chatter/daytrader will have placed 5,000 trades, (real or imagined). Buffett will still be ahead of the internet...
