    • Why 'We've Got To Stick Together' [view article]
      Jeff. Thanks for the response to my concern. You are right; all involved have been punished to some degree. As much as I hate to admit it, I think the answer is that more regulation must come with the government money; common sense requirements, such as, that people who take out loans must demonstrate an ability to repay, management and employees of loan companies are accountable to the share holders for the loans they make (perhaps by making a significant portion of their salaries shares of stock that cannot be sold for 2-5 years), etc. Again, thanks for the response.

      Jeff. Good article and, I agree with you, continuing without an RTC-like approach is no longer acceptable. A concern among many is that people who have not been responsible will be rewarded; examples, the persons who entered into mortgages they could not reasonably afford and the mortgage companies who made those loans. Your thoughts on this concern will be appreciated. Thanks. Sep 21 01:53 PM

      I am also a small investor, like eddie64. While not as negative as eddie, I also do not understand how a naked short seller is allowed to sell that which he/she does not own; it just does not make sense to my logical mind. Sep 16 10:29 AM
    • Top Foreign Dividend Stocks Traded in New York [view article]
      Similar comment on BCS as Menachem Ben Yakov's comment on Lloyds TSB. Per Yahoo Finance, BCS has paid dividends of $1.755 and $0.895 during the 12 months preceeding its 8/29/08 close of $25.70. Assuming my data and math are correct, that produces a dividend of 10.31%. Sep 02 12:52 PM
    • The Latest Changes to SeekingAlpha.com [view article]
      Recommend adding the time, as well as the date, of an article. With the current volatility in the market, it is frequently pertinent to know the time of day an article was written; i.e., before, during, or after a large intraday move. Thanks for your work. I usually check SA multiple times each day. Aug 31 01:51 PM
    • The Markets Are Nocturnal: Daytime vs Overnight Performance [view article]
      Interesting. By overnight, am I to understand that you only compare the difference between one day's close and the next day's open, ignoring all movement during the day? Thanks Aug 20 12:11 PM

      Author, please define the term "one unit of the DJIA." Thank you. Aug 06 12:13 PM
    • Trading Closed-End Funds - An Update [view article]
      Very interesting. Ben, could you provide additional explanation of the meanings of the numbers under the Insiders and M.Star columns? Thanks. Aug 05 09:03 AM
    • On Short-Sellers and Dishonest Executives [view article]
      I concur with the comments. Shorting is fine, and necessary for a properly functioning market. Naked shorted is not fine, and should be banned in all circumstances. Aug 04 09:07 AM
    • Crude Reality: Big Oil's Purposely Restricting Supply [view article]
      Seeking Alpha. I totally agree with the general nature of the comments. SA is supposed to be about business, not politics. Please keep the left-wing (and right-wing) loonies off the site. Aug 01 11:28 AM
    • Exxon Mobil's Record Profit: How Much Is Too Much? [view article]
      Per the CARPE DIEM blog, Exxon taxes for the quarter are $32.36B. Not a bad deal for government, an entity that produces nothing but red tape and get 3 times as much as the company that provides a critical commodity. Jul 31 04:00 PM

      1. deaverb, I totally agree with heaping praise on Eli. He is one of my first-thing-in-the-mor... reads, every day. Thank you, Eli.

      2. pilar, although I have not done it, I believe most brokerages allow pre-market trading. Like pilar, I would be very interested in hearing comments about experiences with e-trade's foreign trading capabilities. Thanks.       Jul 28 09:01 AM
