    Los Angeles, the homeless capital of the nation

    Screw the UN and their socialist agenda. No person has any other rights than those granted by the constitution, which is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not housing, not any luxury bull. What a misguided organization.

    Why are living standards in the western world still far ahead of emerging countries?

    Let me guess... You're Russian, right? Only a Russian would refer to freedom as having the "best girls" and "security." Either you're a Russian or you're a Pakistani.

    Puts as hedge against bankrupcy

    Hey guys, Just a quick question from a non-options trader. I'm reading a book in which the author describes how a number of firms directly exposed to a particular firm buys puts well below today's market price to hedge against the event of the firm going bankrupt. I can't figure out why...

    Boycott of BP over release of mass murderer

    Isn't it obvious that any money going to the UK will also be taxed in the UK? What's a muppet but a bunch of hugely popular characters performing frequently with world superstars?

    Sarah Palin Resignation Speech

    Anybody listened to her? I think she got everything in that speech right - those media outlets and their liberal puppets need to get their act together. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5189824n

    China is the saviour

    The Chinese government has been able to inflate the Chinese economy through taking money from projects they didn't like and pump them into projects they felt would create economic growth. It works now, it seems, but when the money run out and there's no continuing stream of government money to...

    Here's How Bad Vegas Is - Don't Let the 'Green Shoot' Crowd Bullshit You

    What a shocker! Not as many people gamble during recessions! Who'd have thought? It can only be a sign of the future! I'm getting sick of listening to you doomsayers. Go away.

    Canada Got It Right.....US Got It Wrong....

    As I was saying earlier, it was much more than just the banks actions that caused this whole problem - in the US is was partly due to a political goal of a higher home ownership rate causing the sub-prime loans that the banks otherwise wouldn't have participated in. These sub-prime mortgage...

    Canada Got It Right.....US Got It Wrong....

    On the issue of the danish mortgage system, I agree. The system managed to survive, even after the extensive liberalization of the danish banking and mortgage system that has taken place over the last 20 years and especially with the current liberal (European sense) government. It's one of the...

    Canada Got It Right.....US Got It Wrong....

    Where I'm from, Denmark, we have a much more extensive regulatory environment when it comes to banks. None of them are nationalized, as they were in the old days, but the amount of oversight is greater than that of Canada. Yet, our government, too, has enacted several bailout packages because...

    Canada Got It Right.....US Got It Wrong....

    Hmm, I wonder why a bigger system would crash more greatly than a smaller system. It's seems totally logical to me. Canadian Banks are nowhere near the size of American ones. Blame it on your ideological counterpart, or the regulators or the boogie, I don't care, but use your common sense, FFS.

    Obama seeks remake of Fed's powers

    When government possesses the power to decide upon the faith of companies in which it doesn't even hold a majority stake, capitalism is over. The only effect this is going to have is that American companies can't grow past a certain point meaning that powerful American companies will cease to...
