Who would have guessed underfund a pension and it goes bankrupt!

BansheeX, You're absolutely right a graph comparing the relative prices of two GOODS doesn't have to be adjusted for inflation. But your not talking about two goods your talking about one good and an INDEX of INVESTMENTS. Take the S&P500 and the AVERAGE dividend and gold gets destroyed per...

crap didn't read 2nd page

LK you miss interpreted my post, I am agreeing with you 100%. I was just saying you need to add more to the picture; giving him a silhouette off a human isn't going to allow him to distinguish between a saint and a murderer. You need to add a few more clue's like a halo or a gun (well maybe less...

LK you need to go beyond spoon feeding you need to do the airplane noises / funny faces routine as well. Hedge funds do buy/sell stocks (among many other things), so it's an easy mistake for the layman to assume the SEC has much of a say in how they operate / report (as evidenced by OP and...

You do realize that Saleh makes Chavez and Ahmadinejad look like choir boys right? check your source fool.

I hope you're trading the commodities not holding them.

The customer is always right. Given that the American consumer is the most powerful economic force on the planet everyone is going to bend over backwards to please them (us). As much as I hate to make the argument to clients everything is relative. If everyone is going down the tube good ole...

The best line in that article is: "If you wait for robins spring will already be gone" ~ The article unfortunately fell on deaf ears today, in another 12 months though we will probably hear a resounding DOH from everyone that stood on the sidelines. If you want to make money and sleep at...

Just like buyers willing to pay more for an ownership stake in the co increases its stock price. Sellers willing to sell at lower and lower price drive a stock's price down. Shorts increase the amount of selling going on, thus drive prices just a little bit lower. Whats going now is...

Shorts are fine. You can bet for (long) be unsure (not own) bet against (short). Plus short positions give vital information with regards to where people think the stock price is going. The pendulum always swings both ways, shorts just grease it to the down side. Being leveraged 30:1 and your...

Something to ponder: This year the best performing index has been Botswana and Ghana is not far behind. Think about how ridiculous that is. *edit: Media reports that the market is tanking 60% of the time and positive 30% of the time, when in reality its the other way around.

Note: $126k profit requires a $912k stock investment for a stock going between $114 - $135. Lothar you actually have to know what all of the ratio's mean otherwise you're right they are worthless. Heyheybooboo, you might want to know a little more about Buffet and how Berkshire work...

Garbage in garbage out. This entire mess just shows you how much integrity loan officers have (I would trust a pile of $#!+ more).
