My comment referred to my interest in taking a job in the US and residing in the US, of which I've never had much interest. I have some extended family residing in the US. I'm not obsessed with politics of any type, including Canadian.

I don't even have to look to know the great correction predictor puts out dozens of such predictions then highlights the "correct" ones in his self promotion. We used to have a guy on here called "Grand_Super_Cycle" who was sure he could predict crashes. You may remember he forecast the great US...

You are an incredibly naive person. This helps explain why you still believe in the hoax/con that is the "Obvious" thread on this site.

Ethnic diversity goes far beyond skin colour. I could get into this with examples of why Toronto is one of the more diverse cities in the world, but I fear it would go over your head. And you may think that there are a ton of Canadians who are strongly attracted to the US, but it just isn't the...

The traditional "ugly American" act looks pathetic given how much struggle exists for many in the US these days. What use is all that false pride in fixing your very real social and economic problems ? If you system is so good, why are poverty levels so high, and why does your government have to...

Posting history suggests you are far more distressed about the US then I am about Canada. If you guys are going to rail on and on about what you don't like about your country, you will get people commenting on those ideas. I find that Canada is well ahead of the US in terms of social policy and...

You seem extremely ignorant and espouse racist views on here with great regularity. I couldn't care less what you think about anything but it is important for more mainstream Americans to see you for exactly what you are. It's not Canada that's falling apart under the stress of racial...

If you are making money on DRIP you are losing on UWTI. You are reminding me a lot of "Karen the Supertrader" on this, reporting only realized gains and carrying unrealized losses on the books.

Given that Americans have a habit of electing idiots like George W. Bush and potentially Donald Trump, and got fully behind the Iraq War, I don't pretend to know why the US struggles so much with common sense and best social policy. My concern is not that deep, it's a talking point. I can hope...

You fantasize about burly guys driving trucks with gun racks and no seat belts ? Don't worry, I don't fear this. But if you are into those guys, go for it.

If he's a "patriot" then America needs less "patriots" and more decent human beings. And let's get something straight, I am neither female nor a Communist. I'm a guy who long ago lost any fear of stating my mind and in person I would be quite clear to you that being disrespectful wouldn't be...

While I do feel empathy for those who are required to fight wars, especially unnecessary ones, it doesn't excuse their actions later in life if they go off the deep end. I cannot respect someone who lacks basic respect for others who are different. Scat has posted highly racist ideas on here for...

To keep this in perspective, it's $4 a share, so the downside risk of this transaction is pretty clear. After many years of treading water living off their legacy product lines what I had heard is they are doing quite well in newer areas like cloud computing. The premium may be 50% but it's zero...

But why does it matter ? Shareholders can exit now if they hate the deal. What I'm saying is we can't as laymen fully comprehend what is going on. Wall Street analysts never saw AMZN's sudden profitability spike ( and corresponding bankruptcies in brick and mortar retail ) coming. I always...

Even ignoring the xenophobia and sociopathic tendencies, you'd think Americans would look at his business record. Surely a country still suffering the hangover of the subprime crisis would note that Trump himself got ahead exactly how the heads of the corrupt big US banks got the financial...

Religion, racism, and facism are all dangerous in the wrong hands. I actually think Trump is far more dangerous then some people believe, reminds me of charismatic dictators of the past. He may really test the US political system and it's checks and balances.

I cannot see any circumstance where the term "libtard" is useful and not a personal attack. I cannot credit you with having a reasonable amount of intelligence and a mature social awareness if you use that term. I gave you some credit initially in the discussion but you started with the labels...

Many professionals would disagree with you. I would suggest there are massive changes going on in IT and related areas at this time, and, unlike in the late 1990s, there are a few big players who know how to make gobs of money using the internet as a resource. It seems like smaller and even...

A guy like Gates had so much money he could make any number of "mistakes" and still be fine. In fact, it's hard in retrospect to evaluate decisions because the personal risk parameters involved are not clear ( one decision impacts on others ) and sometimes you have to move very quickly in IT. My...

You'd have criticized anything they did with the money. Stock buy backs you'd have claimed they were artificially pumping up their stock price. Bigger dividend, well is 3% yield not enough for you ? If MSFT stock were to tumble, as you often predict for all stocks, that yield would grow and...
