    • Idiotic Idea of the Day, SEC Edition [view article]
      I think that, while we are at it, retail investors should have to disclose their positions to the feds, as well. The consumer accounts for 70% or so of the economy and with such strong combined power, the consumer might be tempted to gain from illegal trading strategies such as going long or even short selling. In conclusion, I feel that we need to know what retail investors are doing right now and what they may do in the future so they don't begin to illegally exercise their combined market power.

    • Obama's Windfall Profits Proposal Is Dangerous [view article]
      I agree with Hooboy. These are oil companies and their job is to find, extract, refine, deliver, and market oil. That is the job they do and nowhere does it say they must find replacements for the product they deliver. I have never understood the idea that oil companies MUST invest in alternatives. That's not what they are experts at and it would be ridiculously inefficient for them to even try. Sep 05 11:23 AM

      I don't understand why everyone is so upset about Congress. Don't you know how many post offices they have renamed? It's in record territory, and I think that deserves recognition! Aug 29 11:50 AM
    • Can Investors Still Rely on a Stock's P/E Ratio? [view article]
      Aren't the average margins of info tech and telecom grossly understated using the 98-06 time frame? I remember a ton of companies reporting losses quarter after quarter that don't even exist today. Are those companies inclusion skewing the numbers negatively? I think the relative outperformance of info tech for 06 is overstated and there could be room for improvement rather than compression of margins in that sector. May 12 11:06 AM
