    Doctors In Financial Trouble: Many Selling Their Practices & Switching Careers

    The core problem is that practicing medicine is no longer a calling; it's a business. The same thing happened to the practice of law decades ago. Some were happy with making a decent living while doing what they loved, while the majority wanted an all out profit machine, at the expense of...

    Dan Zanger shorting Goldman Sachs in a big way...

    Thanks for posting this. I am just now listening. I wonder in anticipation if it has to do with their little manipulation tool being stolen, or whether the crackdown on speculators is going to hurt GS, especially with all their inside connections. After all, they basically run the system...

    CIT Group Inc. Hires Bankruptcy Specialist Skadden; Crisis Has Just Begun

    Who will replace CIT in this environment as creditor to over 900,000 businesses, from Dunkin' Donuts to the major airlines? No one. Ominous. Consumers getting whacked with plunging home and equity, 401(k), IRA, other asset prices, businesses losing value as low sales causes revenue to...

    Doctors In Financial Trouble: Many Selling Their Practices & Switching Careers

    90% of medicine, at least in a hospital, is bringing vitals back up to stable and keeping them there. If there's no risk of imminent death, and absent anything more straightforward than a football sized tumor on one's forward, and in the case of even a moderately complex condition on...

    • Home Sellers in U.S. Mark Down Prices by $27 Billion, Led by Wealthiest

    That headline figure is actually much higher in reality, as: "Trulia excluded foreclosed homes and undeveloped land from the survey. It looked at all properties for sale as of July 1 and calculated how many had been listed for a higher price at any time since they were first offered."...

    Double Top in 2010-13, then G.D. II?

    Double Top in 2010-13, then G.D. II?

    Steph is right again. People have gotten decimated, the value of everything from their homes to 401(k) to their investment properties have plunged, they're insecure in their jobs if they haven't gotten laid off, retirees are losing pensions and health care because of corporate bankruptcies...

    Are these pics of Sarah Palin real?

    It was originally posted in chit chat, and one of the mods moved it. And I have paid more taxes in a three year period than you have all your life. You can bank on that... Son.

    Pre-order book on Obama's extramarital affairs. White House does not and cannot deny

    So is the OP a P&R post, or an advertisement for a book written by a washed up loser & freak that can't seem to buy attention - even Rupert Murdoch & Faux News is ignoring this tripe.

    Doctors In Financial Trouble: Many Selling Their Practices & Switching Careers

    Which is it, guy and girls? The NYT wants one-payer, federal health care, or the NYT is sympathetic to wealthy physicians who are crying poverty? I've never seen such widely disparate motives attached to a news (not op-ed) piece by the Times. Anyways, the one point I'd like to make is...

    Are these pics of Sarah Palin real?

    It would seem that Democrats and many Republicans are attacking Palin's intellectual credibility while some Republicans are attacking Michelle Obama's appearances? No wonder the GOP is FUBAR.

    Another (True) Anectdote - Two New Car Dealers Will Not Lease Cars

    I also agree with Random Capital. The crux of the problem is the uncertainty as to what residual values will be come trade-in time, hence it's impossible for many brands to either obtain lending on leases from outside entities, or they're expressing a rational fair of undertaking...
