    Banks will not be loaning money.

    I have had those road side tacos in mexico (although they costs 2.5 pesos when i was there in 2005.) They are so tiny, you really have to order 8 to 10 of them to fill you up. I dont even think eatting one would be enough to fill up the belly of a 2 year old.

    Are Democrats inherently stupid?

    I'm kind of in the middle here. I dont think people should have to pay for others healthcare, but on the other hand the health care industry is littered with corruption and too much bureaucracy that health care cant possibly be afforded by anyone but insured and the rich. What needs to happen...

    What does this corintihian quote mean?

    Its basically talking about the standard at which we judge ourselves and we shouldnt judge ourselves by how others act or what others think of us. For instance. I go up to a kid who is smoking cigarrettes and tell him he shouldnt be doing that. He says to me... "well at least im not as...

    Help me explain something about inflation here

    Its an illusion. It sounds like a good deal because when you hear 30k you are thinking 30k in todays money, but that 30k is really 1960s money. Whatever he could sell the house for today would buy no more than it would in the 1960s. For instance...lets look at gold. $30k would buy you...

    Help me explain something about inflation here

    When inflation is at 10%...COLA is usually less...maybe 4 or 5%. You end up losing money every year until inflation comes down. If inflation was so good, then hyperinflation should be really good. Go ask any of the countries that have or had hyperinflation if they got a 5000% COLA when...

    Got into trading after college, 1 year retail, 1 month prop so far...I have issues..

    A classic example of having all the wrong instincts. Since you are only trading 100 shares and scalping for pennies...next time you think you should buy...go short. When you think you should short...buy. Its only a small amount of money so you should experiment with this as crazy as it...

    GDP (Gross Domestic Ponzi)

    How many producing jobs have disappeared since the 80s though? For instance...back in the 80s, if you called a company, you get an operator to help you. Today...you get a computer telling you to push buttons or go to their website if you want help. When you finally do get a real person...
