It will go down until we have a panic herd sell. Very high volume. Then the only ones left standing are the ones uninterested in selling. At that point buyers will have to buy for "real world value" so prices on stocks will rebound to whatever normal p/e ratio it is. As irvinerenter...

The best place to look for advice on humidifiers is parents of children with cystic fibrosis. They are hyper vigilant about finding stuff that works that is helpful for lungs. There are a lot of nit picky issues with humidifiers (fungus growth, bacteria, etc etc). I think the standard...

You want snazzy? Buy the new samsung sp-a800b projector. Just as good quality as the movie theater (smaller size throw, obviously). And you can get it for half the American price if you but it in the UK or Korea. Even less if you buy it on a dollar strong day. I have a korean one myself...

I'm thinking of gambling on ford or general motors. Because I think they will announce a bail out plan, and the stock will skyrocket on the rumor, and I'll sell. Then if no one bails them out, I'm already out. That's about as savvy as I get. Of course, they could also declare...

Come on guys, I don't want to get a passport to visit my family in Mississippi. Share the love! Stop the hate! :)

Was disappointed with the Emauel pick at first (too partisan), then remembered I've met his brother Ari a few times. A very smooth operating family. Kind of stunning in their smooth ability to deal with people. So I changed my mind, it is a good pick. That family is NOT crazy extreme...

My neighbors are in their late 50s, have been together for decades. Several months ago I noticed one of them was wearing a bandana around her bald head, had lost all of her hair. I believe in letting people talk about things if they feel like it, so never asked what was going on, though it's...

I think the Dow has pretty effectively moved wealth from the savers to the gamblers. Hooray! Personally, having a diverse range of family who are either self-reliant or huge moochers, I have no problem paying more taxes so that those who make under 30k a year pay none. But, I don't like...

I think at this point that all of the bad news is really known with the exception of how far consumer buying will fall. The fact that we didn't crash after the consumer spending numbers came out I took as a positive sign, but if people keep tightening their belts, and we get a massive decrease...

Lately I've been feeling very sorry for McCain. I imagine how much better our country would have been if he had been the winner back in 2000. I think the irony I feel is he didn't pander back in 2000. And he lost. Then, in order to be President, he systematically remade himself over...

You know, at the beginning of all of this, I thought it was going to be McCain vs Hillary, and I wished the democrat party would nominate someone less divisive, since the extreme right seemed to loathe her so much. I wanted a non-polarazing election. When it came down to McCain and Obama...

What are these supports you guys keep talking about? I have no idea why, but at the beginning of this week I felt calmer about the market. Friday last week I was fearing Great Depression bottoms (Dow 3000, 4000). But then over the weekend, it just seemed like DOW 8000 was a "real" bottom...

Thanks skek, for the reasoned reply. Just as a final note: I don't think overall it's wise to get a majority of your tax revenue from the wealthy. Tax revenue should be diversified for the well being of the nations economy, which we all are reliant on. If you consistently only tax the...

skek, Actually, being in the top 5% of earners, I don't have any animosity towards higher income people. And it's not like I'm in total disagreement. My response was as silly as the previous examples and that's how I meant it to be. Here's some good data...

Futures prices were well above spot prices for most commodities during most of the Great Depression; evidently the spectacular declines in agricultural prices caught many people by surprise. Based on the historical correlations between commodity prices and consumer prices, commodity markets...
