People were so willing to invest and take a chance in the stock...until it started going down.  When making an investment, do your research first.  They could've offered the stock at $100 and there probably still would've been idiots out there who would've bought and then complained when the price dropped.  When you in...more

Tax is always going to be a widely debated topic -- no one likes "giving" their money away.  The thing many do not realize is that the IRS will never be eliminated, maybe reformed, but not eliminated.  Even with a flat tax/fair tax system, we still have to have the IRS around to make sure everyone is paying their share...more

Gingersnap,  if we tax China on imports than you can definitely expect operations to be moved elsewhere.  Mexico is looking more and more attractive especially with rising shipping costs and a NAFTA agreement that does not tax importations from Mexico.  There will always be a cheaper alternative than the US for manufac...more

Just my personal opinion:  I think the market will move up in the next week based on purely hype.  I hate to place a percent on the "jump" and I don't know how one really could.  Throwing numbers out there like 15% is just wrong and ridiculous.  I think after about a week or so the markets are going to take a sharp tur...more
