Cramer is an idiot who speaks both for and against things simultaneously thereby guaranteeing he can claim he is right no matter what happens.

If the companies who got their asses handed to them would have been allowed to crash and burn and suffer the consequences of having no risk control, we would be in much better shape for the future. Right now what we have is pretty much the worst of everything - crappy companies that are on life...

So you can never successfully modify a stop-limit order? You always have to cancel and replace? I am skeptical - are you sure that's right?

My point is that this restriction is totally unacceptable in a tax software package.

TurboTax in its infinite wisdom won't let you input a total sales # that is larger than a certain number of digits. They want you to upgrade to their pro version or some nonsense like that. This kind of BS drove me to using TaxCut. In TaxCut, they ask you something like "This # seems really...

Saying you are an idiot for holding gold through the recent downturn and then saying gold is a piece of sh*t and *always* has been sh*t and then saying oh but wait I want to get long at 1030 is hypocritical. In fact, it is probably a shining example of being hypocritical. I know that is what...

Use TaxCut.

Whatever. If you believe that so much, why ever go long gold? Hypocritical.

This comes from a guy who has said to take all your money out of the market if you need it within 5 years. I guess if he says to buy and sell simultaneously, he is bound to be right?

I've been auto-liquidated by IB during normal trading hours before. It looked pretty automatic to me. Maybe they use a different protocol when they have to liquidate accounts forcefully in the afterhours market.

It is amazing how bad Pelosi is. I have never heard her say anything that makes any sense to me. Maybe my sample size is too small? I mean, she can't be that idiotic, can she?

You misunderstood what I am saying. Look at what you are getting on your interest rate return on t-bills right now and tell me if that is a heck of a lot better than a non-interest bearing vehicle. No, it isn't.

Yeah, you're making a killing on those treasuries right now, aren't you?

He called the bottom and said to take out any money that you will need in 5 years. It sure is easy to be right when you can go both ways without any penalties.

Actually, the people who want the banks to get the TARP money: 1. Like socialism/communism 2. Don't believe in free markets 3. Believe in rewarding failure

Flush the bad banks down the toilet. Don't allow more TARP money.

Actually, this "money" is just created out of thin air so nobody has to pay for it. Isn't it great - we can just conjure up more dollars whenever we want! Utopia!

To me, there are no benefits of publicity. Not only would it put a target on your back but people would start gravitating towards you just because of the money. And that is a kind of person that will add nothing or very little to your life. I would politely tell them to shove off.

Maybe everybody needs 2 billion then?

Seriously, why stop at dinky stimulus checks. Cut everybody 1 billion dollar checks - then we will all be rich!
