you don't need an SUV to drive 2 kids to school, and then to your job 25 miles from home.  Better yet let your kids learn to take a school bus or walk, maybe we can help alleviate childhood obesity and save gas too.

I think I buy into the world ending in 2012 theory 1st.  So many people are still out of work and the unemployment #'s will get bad again as so many return to look for work, before finding the meaningful well paying job that pushed the dow to 14,000.  Plus as this stagnant mkt heats up above 14,000 the scars are still ...more

Term limits for all politicians, and no monster pensions or healthcare plans for them, SS & medicare.  If it's good enough for the public, it should be good enough for them.  Maybe then they would do what's best for their country/constituents ​ and not what's in their parties interest or reelection campaign.  That's ...more

We're too busy cleaning up everyone else mess that we sometimes lose sight of the forest thru the trees.  We need to secure our borders or collect taxes from everybody earning $$ here.  I'd like to see a national sales tax because then everything you buy here would get taxes collected.  I also think if we can get rid o...more

What about when Katrina hit the gulf coast I made a nice amt of $$.  I wouldn't rush in now that the tension in the middle east is already priced in, but I think this article is hogwash, and it doesn't even mention the nice dividend most of the oil majors payout.  Buy in when the oil prices dip and then sell out when t...more

Great companies at a good price.  Be fearful when others are greedy & vice versa.  I don't know abut you but there seems to be as much complaining as there is exuberance about the mkt our economy housing inflation etc.  I think if employment improved another 1-2 % you'd be set up for the kind of exuberance you need to ...more

Gold creates nothing and pays no dividend. I think we are closer to the scenario of the 80's, & I've sold out of my gold position and gotten into Dividend paying stocks that are pretty inflation protected like the telecoms and power providers.  If this inflation hits AT&T can raise prices and the price of commodities r...more
