    • Ominous for the Globe but Good News for Oil Bulls [view article]
      cjwirth: good post, the rest of those who are posting are still stuck in the "the USA" is the best and most important country in the world where oil prices and all financial market revolve around the US. The U.S. star is in decline my friends and your had best invest and plan your life around that fact so get off your arrogant bent and realize that Russian, China and India indeed will move the market regardless of the US. Sneer at Chavez, laugh at Russia but because the US is unwilling to change now it will be left in the political and financial dust and begging for oil-like GW prostrated himself to the Saudis not so long ago.

    • Stocks vs. Bonds: The Next Decade [view article]
      The above post make me nervous about being short the market, all the bearish sentiment sounds like rumblings of a bull market. Aug 24 07:52 PM
    • Obama Is Bad for the Economy - Barron's [view article]
      Conservatives whine, whine, whine about entitlements. Social Security is probably one of the most successful programs ever put in place-or would have been had Congress kept their hands out of the cookie jar. Medicare could have probably been fixed except Bush put in the Trojan horse of prescription drug benefits, and to smear it in our face, disallowed Medicare to bargain with the drug companies. I always hear the Conservatives rant about destroying FDRs legacy of entitlement programs and they almost have gutted them all-now what? Aug 24 07:39 PM

    • The Great Consumer Crash of 2009 [view article]
      I think Jim Quinn has all his fact correct but still the market is fickeled so who know what will happen to the market.
      I take issue with some of the comment thought "But only in America you can make it from nowhere to multimillionaire"
      The richest man in the world is a Mexican who was not born rich. I have relatives who live in England who have a life-style as good or better than any Americans I know. This arrogance of Americans in thinking that they are the only ones in the world who can get rich or have a superior life-style is a bit nauseating.
      The "American Era" is over, this is the dawn of the "Asian Era" and those who think not will die with the old Era. Unfettered Capitalism has run it's course and the golden goose was slaughtered.       Aug 14 09:18 PM
    • What's Next for the U.S. Dollar? [view article]
      There is evidence of massive foreign bank intervention within the last week or so. The fundamentals have NOT changed. If oil continues to slide along with foreign banks buying dollars there may be a temporary reprieve but I think in the end the dollar is in deep dudu Aug 11 10:21 PM

      JasonC, as Matthew Hougan indicated, China is not suggested as a core investment. Aug 11 10:14 PM
    • No Happy Ending for Auction Rate Securities Mess - Barron's [view article]
      Well, maybe I paraphrased what sebiamo said. Aug 11 09:10 AM
    • No Happy Ending for Auction Rate Securities Mess - Barron's [view article]
      sebiamo, great post. It really pisses me off to see these investment bank (an other) CEOs leave the company on the brink of bankruptcy and walk away with a golden parachute and a million dollar bonus. As you said, if we are going to be put in the position of having to bail these bastards out then the least that we can expect is oversight and regulation with teeth-like jail terms and restitution for the investor Aug 11 09:09 AM

    • Do Dividend Stocks Underperform the Market? [view article]
      I suppose one could "cherry pick" a time period that proved what ever one wanted to prove. The relevance of the article has more to do with ones age, are you retired now?, are you retiring in 10 years, 30 years?-makes a big difference. Aug 04 10:21 AM

      whoops, I meant BBT. Aug 02 07:54 PM
    • Bill Miller on This Tough Market [view article]
      otbricki, having said all that, I have bought some BBI which has done nicely but I have offset it with QID (just in case) and that has been doing nicely also. When everyone is screaming "sell" I might take another look at BBI to pick-up a significant position. Aug 02 07:43 PM
    • Bill Miller on This Tough Market [view article]
      much less so-the key word there otbriki. When the big boys in the banking industry's tide goes out so do the rest of the financials whether they are "less risky" or not Aug 02 07:36 PM
