      6 Reasons To Be Cautious on Google
      If Google was smart, they would take some of that market cap and invest it in hard assets before it evaporates - possibly even U.S. infrastructure investments like light-rail or rapid transport rail systems in SoCal or something. I'm really surprised these corporate behemoths out there have not even thought about the prospects of of putting their names on highways, new rail systems, or other infrastructure systems in the U.S.. It is the future.

      Visa: Already Priced to Perfection
      New2wrld: I am not a professional broker so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I would suggest you place a "limit" BUY order about 10-15 cents above the current realtime quote, this will get you a good price.

      Visa is much larger then Mastercard, what would logic dictate to the market? I missed out on the IPO day because of technical issues but just bought a bunch of shares even though it is 10 bux more then yesterday, still worth it.

      Housing Bust Blame Game
      It worked positively in the sense it helped with getting the dollar and national debt down. Of course the taxpayer will get the bill but isn't it really just a drop in the bucket compared to our enormous economy? Everything else is seems to be psychological now.

      The Coming Crash of 2008: A Result of Overleveraging
      This Fed is very concerned and involved. Getting down the national debt and invigorating domestic manufacturing is working so far; when we are out of this sub-prime mess, they will probably attack the price of commodities and allow the dollar to strengthen some. Further down the line, we could expect much more regulation but at the same time, more innovation or more involvement by regulators in assisting with innovation which will put the U.S. back on the edge of the financial game.

      Are These "Once In A Lifetime" Moves?
      Anyone with internet access now can trade stocks and have their trades executed within 5 seconds, it's no wonder we are seeing the moves we are in stocks. Investors no longer want to wait for six months while an analysts predictions kick-in; they would rather have it kick-in in 6 days, an hour becomes a minute, a day an hour, a month a day, a year a month, a decade a year. Just like global warming, everything is moving much faster these days.

      Just look how fast the Chinese move! They were in the 16th century less then 50 years ago, now they are in the 21st and rapidly moving ahead of the developed world. There are some really motivated people who have emerged in the world and dust doesn't seem to be settling under their feet.

      Death of the mutual fund? ;)

      4 Recommendations to Defend Against a Financial Armageddon
      Ever see the movie Idiocracy? I'm thinking gold could head towards 10k ounce as American prestige gets flushed down the toilet and our president trips over his shoe laces walking through the rose garden reading People magazine for "data." Mitt Romney was America's last hope to get the country back on track, too bad he wasn't dumb enough for this new American generation. Wait until Obama (Dr. Feel-good) gets in office, we will officially become a welfare co-op nation where an 8th grade education will get you a government job. If America doesn't get some intelligent, iron rod wielding leadership, the pot is gonna melt the stove.

      What's Behind the Dollar's Decline?
      This administration is so disconnected from the world and the public that it is crazy that congress would not consider amending the constitution to hold early presidential elections. The U.S. congress needs to do something drastic to let the world and the people of the U.S. know that our elected leaders in America and around the world are not going to sit back and watch while this American ship is looted and crashed. The United States has been moving backwards under Bush leadership.

      Bear Stearns Gets Emergency Funding From NY Fed, JP Morgan
      The fed should be pumping that money into the economy using a little more thought then this. Just giving away taxpayer dollars without and constructive thought seems to be the motto of this so called "conservative&quo... administration. Do you realize how much money is being flushed down the toilet by these bumbling fools? Just look back at hurricane Katrina, if they can't handle that, you think they can handle this??? We are doomed until they are gone, simple as that.

      Can Bush Save the Dollar's Fall?
      Real conservatives need to create a new party with members from both sides and a common vision for (a) strong, intelligent, high-tech America(s.) I like the sound of Progressive Patriots. Oh, and let's not pick an idiot like McCain to run it, a great man, but doesn't even know which country Putin is from. Oy vey!

      Cheer up everyone. Only 312 days until the worst leadership in the history of the United States of America is GONE! We have a lot of catching-up to do with the rest of the world when the idiots go back to their ranches and caves. They have kept America frozen in the 20th century. Just imagine, if we had leadership, we would have the best infrastructure, best industries, best products, best education system, best laws, etc... You know, like we had before Bush. ;)

      U.S. Mortgaging Its Future for Sovereign Fund Investments
      Pray for a Romney nomination. McCain & Clinton = same same The U.S. has been run by a puppet government for the past 8 years, it's not wonder we have to now sell ourselves to Arabs and Chinese. I don't think it's that big of a deal either way. These Sovereign funds are simply making kind gestures in our time of need, they have an interest in keeping the U.S. consumer buying their oil and junk. If it weren't for gullible American voters electing a phony cowboy to office, we wouldn't be buying Arab oil and Chinese junk. Just think, we were asked to go shopping after 9/11 ! Washington D.C. needs to be turned upside down and shaken out.

      Vote Romney for a lean, mean American machine! Romney '08 !

      'Slow Growth' Or Recession?
      Check out the U.S. futures - pointing to a 500+ drop on Tuesday... One would think we are in a depression. I just think that investors are realizing that the emerging markets boom is about to go bust at the very same time the U.S. market is going bust! If gold goes bust, I don't know where to park my money!
