Haha. I thought you meant Barney the purple dinosaur. White, black, brown, yellow, and red racism. Now purple. Purple power!

There's no way this stuff can be made up. It's too weird. "Let's Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin" I've seen those hunting pics of Putin mentioned in the article. Aside from his being evil, I have to admit he's definitely a manly man. :cool:

Now I'm not panic-mongering here, but I did read Prechter's "Conquer the Crash" where he's anticipating a deflationary depression, rather than a hyperinflationary one. Greenspan's worried about a global inflation problem (I read his book too). Pick your poison.

And the answer was what? I've been wondering this myself. Printing money weakens currencies so it seems counter-intuitive.

No, he can't sell short anything in his IRA - no stock, no ETFs. If he wants to be "short" the SP500 he needs to be *long* an inverse ETF for SP500 such as SDS. Or he could put on bearish option spreads, but that's a whole separate discussion.

The answer is totally explicit. You may not short stock in a tax deferred account per IRS rules. You *can* short options as long as they're part of a hedged option spread. You can short futures. As far as options and futures are concerned, it's up to the broker if *they* let you do...

Humility in the markets and your personal life is the way to go, grasshopper. :cool:

My understanding is that you don't have to report transactions when you start to actually draw from your tax-deferred accounts at retirement. You just pay yourself from the accounts and it's taxed as regular income at whatever your tax rate is at that time.

401K or IRA? I doubt you can do much in a employer-sponsored 401K except move money around among mutual funds.

You mean like palimony?

Gimme -2200 Dow points and we'll talk.

Every day you draw breath is potentially life-altering.

Damn, there's no support on the EURJPY chart anywhere in sight!

I agree. Being profitable and having a good day have to be satisfying on their own merit for you. No one likes a bragger. I got funny looks from some friends when I had a good day and the market was down. I did a little bragging and here's how it went: "Damn I made a bunch of money in...

Check this out. I've been using finviz.com for a while and have been pretty happy with it. Here is a link to the stocks with a P/E < 5. You'd have to double check some of them since they seem suspect, but still...

Sounds like some form of insanity.

They'll just keep doing what they do now: drink hard liquor to excess and keep the damn ferners out.

I know, I know. And FDR faked Pearl Harbor so we could enter WW2. And the Apollo moon landings were all filmed on a set in Hollywood. And JFK was actually abducted by aliens and taken to their home planet where he opened a crystal shoppe.

Oh jeez, not another one.

I'm pretty sure he meant physical greenbacks.
