    9.7% unemployment Green shoots?

    never that simple. If you count in people who are on the gray and black market (those working under the table, tax dodgers, those pushing drugs, prostitution, criminals and everything else), this is likely a significant part of the economy. In some not so modern countries, this kind of...

    Obama Praises Islam

    +1 1) I wonder how the scales would balance, if we put the financial and moral drain of islamic terrorism and wars in one side... and "american muslim" contributions in the other 2) How much do leaders in Arab countries (like Iraq or Iran) laud all the contributions of their citizens who...

    TRADERZONES DROPS THE BALL AND MISSES A SPAMMER

    Just think, if everyone reported spammers, then this place would be less attractive to spammers. It is the fairness to sponsors that keeps this place in business. Although, for the umpteenth time, why doesn't ET fix the Complain button? Perhaps Half of the reports are ignored by its thread...

    Good ways to buy gold?

    Bullionvault.com - holds real gold in bank vaults, very small fees, can buy/sell, and is independently audited. Buying/selling your own gold has a lot of costs and some risk.

    China Recalls Gold Reserves

    I believe in capitalism/etc. But it is pretty obvious what is going on. The USA is running up massive trade and budget deficits, massive debts, is stagnant, staggers with huge healthcare problems, has millions of illegal immigrants, and is hemorrhaging jobs to lower cost producers. $60-$100...

    Volatility monitored as "flash" trading ends

    if it was introduced only in June, who cares if it is eliminated now? The market survived for a long time without this. On the other hand, thinking that the market is tilted towards large players can also reduce participation by smaller players, who think it is rigged. It is not just the...

    X-Trader Brokers

    with all due respect, when someone asks for obviously independent recommendations, that is not an avenue for marketing. I have respect for Velocity, but you need to know the difference between "wants information" and "wants someone to recommend themselves and hope to sign me up..." After...

    Quote from pismo10: I will explain it to you...They are trying to sell me something and they make it as hard as possible form me to learn about it. And you label that as a Scam Alert? As you said: That is dumb. Simple enough?

    Larry Williams Million Dollar Challenge

    That is what I said a couple times before in this thread. I cannot imagine someone putting all that energy into building an image in the trading world, stooping to argue with a few anonymous posters on ET. If it is him, he is self-destructing his image here and now.

    Morons Become Victims in $50 Million Scam to Sell Gold Bullion

    That applies to a very small number of Mormons. Most Mormons and fundamentalist Christians are very decent, family-oriented, caring people. In your earlier post, you basically branded them as low-life cheats. And what I SAID, was that people like you, who stereotype other people, are pretty...

    If Dollar goes to hell, and that's a big if,

    short the US Dollar Index futures contract. But you cannot just expect a currency to do what you plan. A lot of things can happen to your strategy en route. and if the dollar tanks, a lot of the world currencies will likely follow...

    Morons Become Victims in $50 Million Scam to Sell Gold Bullion

    Too bad all of them are ahead of you... Funny thing about stereotypers. In their inferiority to others, they mistakingly convince themselves they are superior. But at least you spelled your words correctly.
