'Housing Rolling Downhill' is a more apt title for this thread. I've never seen anything like this, ever. This isn't a correction. This is so much more. I can buy $150k lots for $40k once the banks realize I have cash, and a friend of mine who happens to own a lumber yard (the irony, I...

So if you don't trade any markets, what do you do? I mean, you don't trade commodities, bonds, equities - anything?

Help. I admit I need some spoon feeding, and when others ask for it, I usually tell them to do their own research. However, I do need to enter a trade quickly that depends on knowing with some degree of certainty whether livestock feed (mainly corn based) will rise or fall over the next...

I appreciate your honesty in recognizing the role race may play. But I doubt Obama will fail to carry a single state that Kerry did. Not only that, but Obama has mounted a sophisticated strategy to put Virginia, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico in play. Moreover, I think he'll nab Ohio...

So: 1) You don't buy or sell U.S. equities?; and 2) You have no problem with fraud being committed and nothing being done about it?; and 3) You want to criticize me for expecting fraud to be investigated and acted against in U.S. equity markets? What markets do you trade not having...

Depends on who the enemy is.

I would not recommend XP SP3. It didn't play nicely with some of my anti-virus and firewall software. XP SP2 is the bomb diggity.

What are you yappin' or whining about now? I'm doing fantastically the last month. Speak for yourself.

Agreed on the second part, but not the first.

C'mon. You know there wasn't a true housing crisis back then. The banks hadn't been burned so badly in terms of pure dollars, either. Oh look, the Dow's red.

U.S.S. ETFTrader?

They have red light traffic cameras here, too. I'm going to buy that glare spray and lacquer the hell out of my plates with it. The new stuff is supposed to have metallic, microfibers in it.

Ya think? I don't. I think hope trumps reality. We'll see, though. Maybe you're right. After all, who needs a growing job market, and what importance does a shrinking one have.

What, do you have inside information, HydroponicBlunt? Or are you just gambling?

If Cramer (some of us call him 'Crames') calls a bottom in the not too distant future, that's the final piece of confirmation I will need to go out ballistically short. Oh, and if Bernanke and/or Paulson open their lying, thieving mouths to tell us the U.S. economy is stable, that works, too.

This is prima facie proof criminal activity, and if people don't do the perp walk en masse over it, and at very high levels, just give up on the idea that the markets are even remotely fairly regulated.

Nothing has changed. Credit used to be DOPE. Now credit is tight, and will get tighter as banks continue to detoxify their balance sheets and raise cash to meet regulatory requirements. Also, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. Until you see unemployment numbers not rise in the U.S., you're fighting...

Obama will win by a much larger margin than anyone is talking about now. Whether any of us like it or not.

Wooooeeeee look at oil drop. Not even all out war is stopping this rock from plummeting like so much dead weight.
