Hi, I did a search for a poetry thread and didn't find one, so I thought it would be a nice idea to start one, especially because I have a poem to share! I have a big upcoming poetry assignment coming up for my creative writing class and so I'm writing about everything I can think of. After...

I agree with you with the fact that if the USD were to drastically inflate suddenly things might become like they are on an episode of survivor. :D I just get the idea that china as well as the rest of the world needs america just as much as america needs them. You're right in the fact...

So what happens if the dollar doesn't crash? I guess you're screwed then :confused:

I just put on this trade today, please feel free to comment and critique. Long Sov 3.42 shares for every 1 share of STD short. Reasons for putting on the trade: 1- STD announced they would be purchasing 75% of SOV for a stock for stock buy out of 3.42 shares for every one share (valuing...

Thanks for the links and the response. I watched the videos and have to say that all though the idea of past lives regression is fascinating (as well as the other ideas covered too), we all still see things from our own perspectives, and so just knowing that death isn't the end is not...

haha I got this in an e-mail this morning from my mom believe it or not. NEW STOCK MARKET TERMS: CEO --Chief Embezzlement Officer. CFO-- Corporate Fraud Officer. BULL MARKET -- A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius...

Technical indicators are to stock trading what training wheels are to bike riding. Agree or disagree?:D

Losing everything can be a wonderful experience or a person's worst nightmare. It can be enlightening or it can be life destroying. From losing it all, one has the opportunity to finally see the impermanence of all things, and to be able to reevaluate what is most important to them in life...

Cut your expenses down to next to nothing (cut cable/cell phone/move back home/don't eat out). Get a job as a server, or at mcdonalds or at a hotel as a bellboy. Work hard and build up some humility. Save that hard earned money, and open a trading account. Trade without ever...

A few things I've noticed with HIG today: 1- Moderately High volume sell off, partly due to Sen. Reid comment about a "big name insurer on the verge of BK". Much speculation on whether his comment was referring to HIG or MET or another insurer. Later his statement was retracted, while both...

Great points all of you. There's a great story behind this quote: "I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men." -Issac Newton

Thanks for the reply Marketsurfer. Those ideas aren't my own, I'm just rehashing some of the thoughts from some stuff in books. However I do think that it is necessary for there to be a common storage of value, mainly due to the time period we are living in. If everybody was independent...

The world we live in is greatly influenced by perception, yet it is also influenced by technology. I wonder if people would still desire gold as a means of value storage if the technology made it possible for gold to be as widely available as a quartz crystal. If that was reality, I doubt...

"A similar movement is going on before our own eyes. Modern bourgeois society, with its relations of production, of exchange and of property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the...

There's this saying that some might find applicable to the OPs question where as others will just be left scratching their heads about the logic behind it: "What happens once, never happens again. What happens twice, happens three times." my first et posting! please be gentle...:cool:
