Before discussing that only 23% use this discussion we need to understand what percentage of tax filers are homeowners. Like someone else said lets eliminate the EIC. At least need to pull those people out of the total before calculating the percent that utlize the deduction. They have brought this up a lot lately but ...more

Heck just a few months ago the consensus was pretty much that oil was headed lower. Some were even predicting some pretty big drops. It is all manipulated.

Stick a fork in them they are done. Anyone that buys their stock is out of touch. Going the way of Monkey Wards.

The reason the price does not drop when we drill more is because one it is a drop in the world supply bucket and 2 the oil refineries will just ship it to Europe where they get a higher price. The Occupy movement is nothing but a bunch of people that just enjoy protesting. I do not think they have the equipment to do a...more

Actually I heard that speculation in the oil market is driving 70% of the price. In a "healthy" commodity market it should be no more than 30%.

Then there are those (PETA folks and such) that have no toys because their idea of getting out in nature is too harrass hunters. I own a Tacoma not necessarily for the MPGs but becuase I do not really need a full size truck. The Tacoma is ...more

Look back and track Goldman's or other big finance company's comments on oil prices versus what the price did following these comments. That is all the prove you need that the market is manipulated by speculators. If Goldman's comes out and says oil is going up it will. The only way to win at this game is to jump in wi...more

Heyman hit the nail on the head. Sears is a speciality store. I go there when I cannot find something anywhere else. Check the pricing in their ads and compare with the other ads they are always higher on electronics. Yeah they meet prices but that can be a hassle. The other problem is malls. All of the Sears in my are...more
