Clinton has served as first lady of Arkansas, first lady of the U.S., as a U.S. Senator, and as Secretary of State. Her background has been explored in great detail for years, by the press and by her political enemies. She isn't perfect, and doesn't claim to be. But the information is all...

Well, gosh, I'm not running for president, and last I checked, you weren't either. But if I was, then yes, I would certainly expect to be prepared to answer any and all questions about my background that related to my claims of honesty and business success. We should never expect less of any...

By David Cay Johnson I have covered Donald Trump off and on for 27 years — including breaking the story that in 1990, when he claimed to be worth $3 billion but could not pay interest on loans coming due, his bankers put his net worth at minus $295 million. And so I have closely watched what...

First, read this, from CONSERVATIVE columnist David Brooks. Second, look in the mirror and ask yourself how your mother raised such an idiot. >> Donald Trump is epically unprepared to be president. He has no realistic policies, no advisers, no capacity to learn. His vast narcissism makes him a...

George Bush was our first "MBA President". How did that work out?

Well, actually, that IS their job.

Sorry, but I don't see anywhere on your charts where the Russell is a leading indicator. In fact, any pullbacks pretty much parallel the S&P.

Your biggest initial challenge in trading is to learn from your mistakes and gain some real wisdom, without blowing out your account. That's why it is so important to gain as much experience as you can offline, before placing your bets. Mistakes online will cost you money. Offline, it's...

All good points, but to me the most significant advantage to status as a "trader in securities" is that no self-employment tax is due on gains. And that can be a big savings.

Most option strategies require a directional bet on the underlying stock or index. Thus, until and unless you can really nail a system that gives you consistent profits on the underlying, you are better off not to be sucked into trading options strategies. But your response indicates that you...

You're starting down a very dangerous path selling puts, especially as a newbie. You will be doing yourself a big favor by focusing on another strategy. The math of selling puts often looks attractive, until the underlying tanks, ties up your capital, and leaves you with a load of stock that...

If you can get your old house onto the dealer's lot, you certainly can.

Given that you can spend 50K or more on a Ford these days, I would have to disagree with you.

I hope that you enjoy the company of others on my IGNORE LIST. You'll get 30 minutes a day of exercise in the Pump and Dump yard, I serve rice and beans every evening at 6PM, and reruns of I Love Lucy at midnight. Other than that, you're on your own. Good luck.

If that's your considered opinion, then why not put together a list of national and regional home builders, and take a small short position in each of them?

All real estate is local. Trying to protect the investment in your home with an ETF is a waste of your time and money. The best way to protect the value in a home is to buy right in the first place. Good luck!

The concept of trying to shave pennies with a limit order as an entry, all too often hits the reality of needing to get into the damn trade in the first place. A penny saved is worthless if it causes you to miss a trade.

And 1400 more poor souls who think that Donald Trump can actually help them. Truly unbelievable that a blowhard casino developer from New York City can have an appeal to the underemployed. There is a sucker born every minute. Trump knows that, he's spent his life living off them.

We elected them. People get the government they deserve. Anyone who thinks that the current crop of presidential candidates (God help us) is going to improve the situation is delusional.
