Will Amazon Snap Up Newegg?

Newegg just billed my AMEX card $156 for two speakers shipped to Albequerque - a town I've never set foot in and a product I never ordered. Is this outfit a haven for crooks??????????

The Time for Diversification Away from the Dollar Is Upon Us

As any fool will plainly see, I am not an economic intellectual. But I do pretend to understand what has been cited in previous blogs.

What I want to know is, where is a safe haven for my money? Canada? Australia? Zimbabwe? Well, right now we are looking at a Zimbabwe type economy.......well, potentially.

I've been thinking about buying (converting) to Aussie bucks. Is this a good thing?

Incorrect Unemployment Metrics

The Fed's numbers are politically driven. Obama has the nerve to stand in front of "audiences" and say that the stimulus IS WORKING. He will soon want to say that the unempl rate is rising because the menial LOW paying jobs are decreasing thereby removing the flies from the soup and creating a healthier base from which to build a SOLID recovery (in the meantime looking from one telep to the other, nodding, and feeling proud of self).

The wetbacks are staying put waiting for either 1) citizenship and all the goodies that come with it or 2) the worsening of the Mex economy making the US the better of the venues or the lesser of two evils.

Rising Oil Prices: What We Have to Do ASAP

The increase in gas prices will look like small potatos if and when the Obamba bullies hit you with cap and trade, and health care for everyone including the illegals here now and the 18 mill more he wants to let in. This country is going into the toilet and you're worried about $3.00 per gallon of gas????????

Rising Oil Prices: What We Have to Do ASAP

Author!! Author!!! Go stick your head in the sand!!!!

Chart of the Day: New Car Sales

As a result of the percs tied to my using my GM mastercard, I have about $2600 that I can (could have) use (used) to buy or lease a new GM product. I suppose I can kiss that goodbye????????????

Geithner's Testimony: Lots of Questions, Few Answers

Mr. (or Mz) Cetin Hakimoglu. What are O and G throwing money at??
You dems always pounded on Reagan for relying on the "trickle down" theory. The fact is, that theory worked. But O and G's money ain't never gonna get to Ma and Pa bakery or Joe's carburator service. It's gotta pass thru several layers and wind up in the bankers' pockets. YOU fail to understand the Obama system of redistribution.

Petrobank Energy Can Deliver, Even with Low Oil Prices

I'm waiting for the flyer in my mail that "almost" promises a $25K return on an investment of $500.

Gazprom Offers Investors Tax Risk Diversification

Gazprom Offers Investors Tax Risk Diversification

NEVER trust the Russkis. If it appears that you are on a roll, take the money and run.........because...... will find a way to load the dice.

AIG: Geithner's Outraged? He Should Be Embarrassed

And what part does Barney Mmmffffgghh Frank play in all this. Every time he gets caught in a lie, he harkens back to the 8 years of sinful misdeeds by the Bush administration. They keep saying 8 even though 7 of those years saw unprecedented economic growth. By the way, who writes those pork bills. The President?? I don't think so.

On Oil Prices and Barron's Bullishness

Please tell me what definitive impact "Obama's plan for infrastructure" would have on higher oil prices. Do you think people will drive more because a new bridge is in their future. One thing for sure; the detours will certainly increase gas consumption!

Let's Hope the Auto Bailout Has Failed for Good

Let them go broke, break the union contracts, and restructure NON-UNION. That greedy UAW has been milking the auto industry for many years. NOW they can pay for their sins.

Three-Month Bailout: The Wrong Fix

If those billions go to the automakers, the unions will insist that the bulk of it goes (in)directly to them. The congressional dems know this but that is the price we pay for electing them.

What Obama Needs to Know about Tim Geithner, the AIG Fiasco and Citigroup

Now is Obama's chance to pay off his domestic and foreign campaign contributors. Much of that juicy cash "float" will find its way to His cronies and some way he and his media friends will find his predecessors responsible for the whole shebang.
