Clearly the USA has a lot of cash to throw around.

Troll alert.

Bernanke has done a great job so far. It's not his fault the US government can't create jobs. Bernanke will not lose. Just bet against him.....I dare you.

Troll alert.

The best one I've heard in a while is that GS was short BP at the time of the rig explosion. Therefore, GS blew up the rig and stands to make a lot of dough. Damn those zionist bankers! LOL :D

The usual ET nazis haven't been all over this one yet as far as I know, so I'll step up. Leonhart seems to be posting BS in every thread. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2865546#post2865546

Has anyone seen Hawking's documentary Into the Universe? I caught part 1 last night on the Discover channel. Pretty interesting stuff. Lovin' the graphical images of what the "aliens" might look like! Hilarious.

A few more stats for those who are interested. http://ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/04062010/2/biz-finance-statistics-canada-says-17-1-million-people-canada.html Have not found the provincial breakdown yet.

At this point I think I'd be long USD/HUF.

For sure. But the more these politicians get investors prepared for the idea of a dividend cut, the easier it will be for BP to bring the pain.

Do you think a massive dividend cut is priced in yet? Moody's and Fitch ratings cut today: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=anbtuCO3LYX0&pos=3 U.S. senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Charles Schumer of New York said the company should suspend dividend payments until...

Sorry, but I am right and you are wrong. The homework took me five minutes. http://www.simplestockinvesting.com/SP500-historical-real-total-returns.htm "According to Standard & Poor's, the dividend component was responsible for 44% of the total return of the last 80 years of the index...

My apologies. Your horrible grammar, terrible English, and broken sentences are difficult to read. Using words like "I believe..." is not proof. It is your opinion. And it's wrong, by the way. You are delusional if you think that 50% of women stay at home because they can't afford child...

Please show me one shred of proof or fact that suggests the Canadian government discourages families from having children. Or that they somehow prefer immigration to Canadian children. Also, how many stay at home housewives do you know now a days? Not very many. I don't think you thought...

If you want long term returns, check out the S&P return for the past 50 years. 100 years. Tell me what you find. You cherry picked the past 10 years because returns over the past 10 years support your bearish view on stocks. And, as already mentioned, you neglected to include dividends...

You are just pulling numbers out of your ass. And they're still incorrect. Reinvested dividends are compounded, and account for the majority of stock returns.
