      Thoughts on Giving Thanks: A Trader's Perspective
      Thank you for sharing your perspective Brett.

      What's truly "worthless" are the comments by Stox2buy and the aptly named "BS...." So much hate and judgment of their fellow man, I don't know how they can be "thankful" for anything.....

      Short Selling Is Not Evil
      Andy, good thoughts and perspective. The comments thus far reflect the very ignorance that you are documenting. Scary.....It's not only "the shorts" killing mom, dad, apple pie and the American dream but it's the TERRORISTS too. Oh, but don't worry free-market folks, CHINA (a BASTION of freedom) bans shorts too so we're ok. In fact, we should EXECUTE all short sellers while we're at it. I'm gonna keep taking all your money you "Stop Shorting Whining Bitches" - short-selling ban or no....

      Selling Short America and the Rest of the World
      Losers always talk about how "unfair" the game is or how the winning team "cheated." Sure, all you losers are just "better men" than the fleecers but I doubt they give ONE SH$T about your moral condemnation - nor should they. Play the game to win or go f'ing home.....

      Option ARM Time Bomb About To Explode
      Agreed. This is another wave - after the traders like tcorn think its "over." Whether this is the fundamental story that propels the market lower or not, the market IS headed lower. Yesterday (Tuesday 9/2) exemplifies "ugly reversal."

      The Risk Of A Run On The Banking System
      Kelly Lieberman, if your apocalyptic scenario is correct then you may want to consider brass casings - instead of gold and silver.....Line out your fields of fire and stand guard. In the worst case, gold and silver have no value either......

      Adjusted for Household Size, Real Income Reached an All-Time High in 2007
      Shark - German economy?! Hahahahaha......That is the funniest damn thing I've read in YEARS.....Fortunately for you, the United States liberated your sorry-ass from tyranny. From the beginning of time, the Germans - contrived as "German unity" is - have always loved to be ruled by others like mindless dolts. I'm glad you now have the freedom to express yourself so eloquently. Every word reinforces your own ignorance. I do agree with you on one point - I'd love to see the US leave your godforsaken country and leave you all to fend for yourselves against the Russians. What great theater that would be - circa 1943-45......

      Contrarian Markets Can Often Be Tamed With ETFs
      Tom, why not mention the inverse ETFs in this discussion? SDS and DXD are up YTD.

      The Politics of Hurricane Insurance
      I love the FL perspective expressed by YoungGolf. As a FL native and former property insurance exec, I'm familiar with the issues.

      Sorry YoungGolf, if you live on a peninsula (FL), you should EXPECT to pay significantly more than say someone who lives in OH or most any other place in the United States - sans Hawaii.....

      Insurance is a business folks. It's built on the premise that losses are "predictable.&quo... After all, if an insurer can't predict a loss, then it becomes very expensive to insure because the insurance company is going to pass that unpredictability back to their insured.

      Hurricanes are CASE IN POINT. These are extremely unpredictable AND they are high SEVERITY events. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in both the frequency and severity of these events over the past 10 years (compare the hurricane event data of the 70s and 80s to the 90s and so far this decade) as pointed to in the above. Certainly, rising water temps are a part of the issue as is coastal development, and population migration to the coast.

      I think it's hysterical - and, frankly, sad - that the United States has cultivated this "victim" mentality expressed by YoungGolf and many others. The "evil insurance companies" can go right there with the "evil oil companies" and all the other punching bags for folks who don't understand basic economics.

      DOZENS of insurance companies were BANKRUPTED after Hurricane Andrew (1992) AND the 2004/2005 storms. You must be ignorant to those facts. The largest insurance company in the United States - State Farm - paid out MORE in Hurricane Andrew than they collected in the state of FL from roughly 1948 through 1991 - as did the rest of the industry.

      Would you also walk into the Mercedes Benz dealership and tell them that their product is "overpriced" and needs to be "regulated?" Come on.....

      If you can't afford the insurance, then you have two options: live somewhere else where you CAN afford it OR don't carry insurance. Simple...

      Meet Mr. Market: Jim Cramer
      Like Todd Kenyon's post and anything in the financial media, JIm Cramer's picks should be taken with a grain of salt. There's no reason his picks can't serve as a "starting point" but, as Cramer, Bill O'Neil (Investors Business Daily) and many others advocate, do your own homework and have a consistent method for cutting your losses while letting your winning trades run.

      Adventures in Technical Analysis, Jim Cramer Edition
      I am skeptical of anyone - technician or otherwise - who thinks they are the guardian of all market knowledge and wisdom. By broadly criticizing technical analysis, apparently, you - like Cramer - think you have all the answers.

      Nationalizing Oil: Well-Intentioned, But Wrong
      USPS? Do you REALLY think they can compete against a UPS and/or FedEx WITHOUT all of the taxpayer subsidy? Do you really believe that with a LEVEL playing field, the USPS offers the "best" solution to get your mail where it needs to go when you need it there? Come on.....There's a REASON their "costs" haven't risen - it's called our NATIONAL DEBT. They're simply another line item in a "budget" that spends more than the revenue coming in to offset it. Instead of talking about nationalizing oil, we should be talking about PRIVATIZING things LIKE the USPS, Social Security and the list goes on. We're in the mess we're in because the Federalis refuse to allow the free market to work. What causes "bubbles?" Market speculation? Hardly....Try all the "stimulus" that the Federalis keep throwing into the market. Yes, market corrections ARE painful but it is necessary to flush out the excesses. Come on...There is no "free" lunch.....

      Trading the Global Inflationary Storm
      Thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts Alex. Great perspective. My question with your thesis - how will we ever move past the valuation of gold/silver in terms of dollars, euros, etc? As long as gold is valued in currency, isn't it subject to the moves of the currency markets - e.g. sell off in gold if the dollar rallies?

      Preparing for the Fall, Part II
      Good thoughts Graham. Gold is an interesting hedge at present. If Uncle Sam gets up out of his rocking chair to support the buck, then gold "should" get crushed. Oil has a demand thesis that can keep it propped up (not at $136) but certainly over it's 50-200 DMA. Can gold withstand an attack from Uncle Sam and the Federalis?!
