Thanks, I had not really thought about a solution, still in shock here a bit. The author was suggesting a worldwide union. To me, a union, with reasonable goals of just keeping wages up with corporate gains makes sense, this insanity we have like the UAW and all. forget it... or if the UN could...

I don't get the negativity. I've been at ET off and on for years and I learned a LOT of excellent stuff... my supposition is that if a poster believes that nobody will share, it displays their intention to not share and a concurrent belief in their ability to predict what somebody else will...

I'm reading "The End of Work". It's a most interesting book. The author argues that productivity gains are benefiting the corporations and not workers, and not just in the USA, it's global. He says it's a myth that productivity gains through technology create other, better jobs for the displaced...

Actually, the "more Unions argument" is not without merit. Historically, when the business sector has underutilized capacity they offer credit to consumers to kick up the spending rate. They have to do that because they are holding wages down too efficiently. That is leading to ever bigger...

Intelligent people nowadays are terribly misinformed. In any university you can take reasoning that would get you an F in philosophy 101, walk down the hall to the Medical, Anthro, Econ, etc., departments and get an A with it... circular reasoning especially is prevalent in the Anthro [not to...

That kind of behavior gets results. Look at black people in the US, their hobby was burning cities for a couple of decades and now look where they are.. oh wait... they got nothing but token rewards actually, welfare and a ticket in the Jessie Jackson Lottery... never mind..

Get your own agenda. Draw a pyramid. Divide it three ways. At the top put your loftiest goals, what you would like to see at the end of your life looking back. In the middle put the intermediate goals that have to be attained to get to the top ones. The bottom third of the pyramid is your daily...

There aren't any solutions really. In expansions, workers get left behind so the business sector loosens up credit to increase their capacity utilization. It was that way in the 20's, again in the 90's and now they are trying to reinflate one more time... the ones that use the credit strictly to...

There you go, accusing a nice guy like me of being a goober.. actually, goobers like me are going to be selling food to all the sophisticated city dwellers for high prices in a year or two while you guys will be blaming Bush for it... follow the money, it leads to the people with brains..... :D

We have tax incentives for corporations to outsource. Hopefully Obama will take care of that quickly. In the 1930's lots of jobs could not be gotten without "native son" papers. I'm sure we will go that way, everything else in the cycle is repeating, why not that?

It's like the War on Poverty. It started forty years ago.. What is the exit strategy? Where are the results??? Poverty is with us, illiteracy is way up, moral are down, crime is up.... Will this economic crisis last forty years?? Stay tuned... We really don't have economic disasters, they...

wait, maybe I could hedge with some middle eastern stock indexes...

Levin's little rants are offputting. Michael Savage is one continuous living rant, I can't figure out where he's coming from most of the time and I never give him more than about ten seconds of my time anymore... Limbaugh seems to equate constitutional freedoms with cigar smoking and SUV's...

It is a race to the bottom. Good traders will be on the right side of the currencies... it's a time for traders, the death of buy and hold for awhile too... as we inflate like mad stocks will lose ground to the dollar and in the event of hyperinflation, trading index futs and stocks could become...

It sounds clever. I've posted a similar question and somebody recommended deep out of the money options. They said the typical cost is 3% of the account per month or per what I don't really think they said.... I use stops however. My concern was more like a repeat of 9/11... Strange and...

I managed to kill my computer without even a storm last weekend. It hung up and I got tired of waiting and killed the power... had to rebuild from the OS up with a full format... I've lost a modem to a storm though..

First it was freebie krap [you know it's never going to be finished] now it's a hustle [you know it's never going to be finished].. Have you looked at Openquant?

The next level of being fed up is where you just stop paying and tell them all to stuff the credit scene sideways so far it makes their brain explode... but I'd wait until I had a lot of cash, certainty of income from trading and a new address....

France pipes it's nuclear wastes right into the ocean. Give it a little more time and there will not be any edible fish at all. The coal burners in the US pump mercury into the air, the nuke industry can't figure out how to put the nuclear waste in a truck and bury it 12,000 feet down in Russia...

they keep it closely guarded apparently. There is a review of it available, not sure if it tells you how to game it or not though... http://buros.unl.edu/buros/jsp/reviews.jsp?item=06002092
