I put in 50 million USD and it told me that I'm not very wealthy because of the massive depreciation of the dollar, and that I can get heating oil, gasoline and food relief and gave me telephone numbers to relief agencies.

1) A little movie that I just saw called 'The Happening.' It was so bad that I don't even feel the need to write the other 9 reasons. Hey, M. Night Shyamalan, if you're reading this, I would like to see you throw yourself underneath a ginormous lawn mower (the kind they cut golf courses...

First, are you now claiming to be a libertarian? And second, do you spell that with a capital L? I think you are incredibly confused, based on what you've written in past posts, in the event you are trying to claim the libertarian badge. I also think you're confused about me, but I...

I'd be way more comfortable with McCain if he'd assure me, in some way (it has to be real assurance), that he'd get back to Reagan-esque military policies of NOT engaging in preemptive war. No, I'm not speaking of Afghanistan. Destroying the network of bases and the infrastructure of the...

Check out Boca, too. I've heard things.

If Daniel Pipes reports it, it must be true. I'm totally non-partisan, but I won't not call a smear a smear when I see it. That's how I roll. Daniel Pipes is a true POS. And hawks in Israel are so damn afraid of Obama. Do they think Obama won't be a rubber stamp for them? When I do...

I think most of us realize that Greenspan is now commenting on the very seeds of destruction that he (not exclusively, but in very large part) was central to sowing. He pushed money like crack cocaine. He inflated the money supply like no one before him, and he did it proudly. His actions...

Have not listened to Dylan in so, so long. Great tune. All great songs are timeless.

Just reported on the telly (Bloomberg).

It's interesting to see Apple really taking it on the chin. I think the smart phone space is very crowded, and their product isn't as differentiated as they really need to meet the lofty expectations associated with Apple products. Also, Palm is getting kind of scrappy for a change. I...

Since this industry is near and dear to my heart, all I have to say is that inventories of new and existing homes keep rising, one out of every three sales this year is forecast to be an REO (a repossessed home), and that there can't be a bottom until inventories quit rising. Rising...

I'm no longer arguing that oil is or isn't a bubble. The argument has devolved into a semantical one at this point centered around what constitutes a 'bubble,' and I no longer care to engage in trying to get that dog to hunt, and in truth, it really doesn't matter, because whether there is a...

Oil has now risen at greater pace than the dot.com stocks of 2000, at a rate of 697% since 2001. It is now also showing nearly the same technical action from a chartist's perspective that the dot.com stocks were showing immediately prior to the bust. Whether you think either point is...

Did you vote for W? If so, too bad that the imbecile you voted for, who has had 8 years to accomplish something positive, has only managed to help to destroy a good chunk of the middle class in the U.S., huh? And we don't even get lower oil prices, to boot. Bush didn't manage to...

F$%ck off, you shit stained neocon lover. I never fell for the constant BS about Iraq like you and your ilk. You're a presumptuous and ignorant little bitch.

The octane rating is a measure of the autoignition resistance of gasoline and other fuels used in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. It is a measure of anti-detonation of a gasoline or fuel. If your engine has a low compression ratio, high octane won't do any harm, but you're wasting...

I respect the people that are performance based. They are putting up real capital and earning their money. I have ZERO problem with that system; it's the way it should be. A lot of the hedgies say they're performance based, too, though, at 2/20 or 4/40 or whatever. The problem I see with...

+1 !!! Bring back Reagan and JFK. They both had common sense. The new GOP is the worst thing to happen to America in a long, long time. Neocons have pissed on Reagan's grave. And because Neocons are so hated, and have so crippled the GOP, you're now about to experience a new form of pain.

You left out the disaster of a clusterf$!$ck that is the Iraq War, and the financial and social legacy that will befall to future generations of Americans because of starting the wrong war against the wrong country. Not only that, they want to double down, in Iran!! And give ALL ADDITIONAL...

I think Lehman is toast. The BSC phenomenon is setting in, with BSDs closin their accounts. Who TF would want to leave their money in a LEH account right now? If you answer that question as "very few," than doesn't that tell the tale?
