Leverage makes you insanely rich in a bull, and busts you at the speed of light once the music stops.

Okay guys. I think I can restrain myself. I won't let Dennis Neale's weasel-ness take me out of my control zone. Thanks.

Absolute truth. Exceptions exist - Sam Adam's is okay. Anchor & Steam not bad. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is decent. Bell's is the best. America killed the Pilsner. America doesn't know the true ale. America can only do the lager, and poorly. The ones I listed are the exceptions to the rule...

This car has gotten rave reviews in Europe. Quality and reliability wise, too. It's a chick's car, but it has better mpg than the Prius.

They're gonna tear up the auto world if gas prices stay high and they import the Fiat 500 to the U.S. - it has passed stringent safety tests, and the models get anywhere 44 mpg (mixed) to 68 mpg (mixed). "The engines are also frugal with the two petrol versions due to return an average...

But can't you at least relate, Mav? H can. Isn't there at least one person who has this effect on you? C'mon, I'm seeking comfort here.

I do not watch CNBC that much since having access to Bloomberg, but every now and then, mostly for humor, I will turn it on. Anyways, there is this new guy on there named Dennis Neale. I am not a violent person at all. But I feel a compulsion to want to beat his ass every time I see his...

China has massive problems that will take them years to deal with in order to create true stability, and even then, their long term political stability and regional strategic strength may still be precarious. So much potential, but so many obstacles...

Dude, you nail that ballsy call and I'll buy you a frosty one. You're up against the cumulative wisdom of Rennick and I. (I know, I know...)

Get ready, oh get ready. I think on days like today, where there is so much artificial and seemingly desperate governmental meddling, the horseshit is deciphered rather quickly, and the market reacts in an honest fashion to what they perceive to be factual misrepresentations. If I'm right...

- when a random stranger spits in your face or kicks you in the balls because they overheard you mention 'stock' or 'stock market.' - probably because they just lost their life savings.

I'm sick of the SEC and Lehman's and others' bitching and moaning about 'woe is me.' If Lehman thinks they are being unfairly punished, or significantly undervalued, they should put themselves up for sale at a dutch auction. I wish them good luck.

The U.S. Government needs to nationalize all private corporations - now!

When there are comments such as this actually setting forth the proposition that the equity market is a threat to a 'well capitalized' and fiscally sound company, I would agree. The problem here is that I'm not so sure, and apparently a lot of people share my doubts, that Lehman is a well...

This is a sad event on many levels. Read the Digg story, and then follow the comments, and see if you can spot the overwhelming theme, and then state whether you agree or disagree with it. Please also comment on whether elected representatives of the United States should ever place the...

Here's the video of Jim Rogers. Spot on. http://www.bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?N=adviser&T=Rogers%20Calls%20Fannie%2C%20Freddie%20Rescue%20Plan%20a%20%60Disaster%27&clipSRC=mms://media2.bloomberg.com/cache/vIQvD7yNni2I.asf

Just when I thought I had seen it all. How naive of me. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=a1liVM3tG3aI&refer=home

Gotta love absolute common sense, spoken loud and proud! http://www.bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?N=adviser&T=Rogers%20Calls%20Fannie%2C%20Freddie%20Rescue%20Plan%20a%20%60Disaster%27&clipSRC=mms://media2.bloomberg.com/cache/vIQvD7yNni2I.asf

...on two or all three of the major indexes, hold on to your hats, peeps. I expected a MONSTER short covering rallying today, but if people actually sell whole-heartedly on this initial move up, as they appear to be starting to do, look the hell out below.
