drip plans in good cos that pay a reasonable div & you buy @ a low price is the only way to beat the wall st ponzi/casino.if you have time on your side & put up with boring investing the pay off is great.it worked great for me.some cos let you buy their stock directly.saving on fees can add up.

The Real Job Loss Story: Death of Small Business

the new "capitalism" is intent on getting rid of the middle class. the poor are meaningless & offer little resistance so the rich are better off with only poor around. of course the dumb-dumb middle class sheeples have no idea whats happening as long as there is beer to swill & " coliseum" seats to be filled.notice the crowds for the yankee parade in nyc today.the private schools here in ct are booked solid @ $30-35,000 a year while the drop out rate for publibc high school is app.50%.(those that make it to college drop out @ 50% the first year).those still working have to produce more to make up for the laid off(some of whom may never work again)state & local taxes will suck the little middle class has left.anybody notice that there is little or no immigration from europe to this country anymore.the wall st ponzi/casino will continue to fleece any & all that are not insiders.the recent sec activity is just a little propaganda to show they arent completely dead.too little too late.sad.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

they are all interested in killing the middle class as they vote & offer some resistance. the poor are meanigless.therefore the more poor the better.just look at bloomberg in ny.he was for term limits.then in office he changed his mind & had the law changed.then he bought his reelection.sadly his opponent wasnt much better.its all a game for those in power that favors them.here in ct we have a turncoat lieberman as sen. & a "dodd" & you all know him.more & more "dump dodd" bumper stickers will appear but the next one will learn quickly on how to screw the middle class dumb-dumber sheeples.the fleecing will continue.

Pre-Fed, Market Is a Casino

this braggard,me, never went to college but has been calling wallst a ponzi/casino for years.so some authors & anal-cysts finally begin to figure it out. now they better figure out that @ the rate this scheme is going there will be no middle class left for their "educated" advise.just rich & poor(maybe less rich as they move their money & families off shore.it will be slow as there is still plenty of beer & money for the "coliseum " seats.the greed "cancer " of this system will kill it.sad.

Barney Frank: Name Names

all the fools that talked" free market" are waking up to the fact that there was never ,nor ever will be a free market.. less or more regs is mandated by the weakest & most dangerous link in this chain-the human(lately more greedy than ever).its all ponzi/casino/smoke & mirrors.the average investor is a patsy.thats capitalism today.

Catching Argentinian Disease

this country is being hollowed out.there should be a flat tax of some percent for all. even if you earned $1.no deductions for anything or anybody.thats capitalism.fairness then would be gone along with unfairness.you could actually get rid of most of the irs.the cpas would fight this as they would shrink also.tax lawyers would be gone.on a local level all should pay a property tax on the same basis.1% on the last sale of the property & all religious,schools etc. should have to pay as they want & get police fire,sewer,water,etc service. we have schools here (private)that charge$30-35,000 a year for the wealthy that dont pay a penny in taxes.the whole system has turned into a joke.(the rich laugh as they complain).

How Bloomberg Fabricates U.S. Housing Numbers

this is interesting to me. i dont know this author.he calls wallst a ponzi scheme. i have been calling wall st a ponzi/casino scheme for years.he points out fraud/propaganda figures.what do you expect of a country that papers the world with phony rated AAA crap?what is it you expect of lying ceos & lying congress? presidents that lie(past & present)?self serving bods & accounting firms? a lack of ethics & transparency? a movie industry that tells you "greed is good"?contracts have become meaningless.every new law has the built in loopholes for the insiders.the whole system is a sad joke.unless someone can find a way to turn granite counters into oil this country is finished. your children & grandchildren will never pay off this debt.our free way of life is shrinking by the minute.cameras all over.credit card purchase tracking.ez pass & cell phone tracking.LOL out loud about the folks who talk about privacy. your every claim for your house,car, & drs visit is logged somewhere.now this author is worried about phony figures? too little too late.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

this whole system has turned into ponzi/casino.therefore nobody really knows anything of value.beats or misses are based on anal-cysts best guess.meaningless.if the railroad statistics are true(who can believe?) the economy is in bad shape & not improving.beating the street on cost cutting will only further deteriorate our economy.if goods dont move nothing improves.the 1sr quarter of '10 will tell a huge tale as certain retailers close never to reopen.unehical,lying behavior & self serving is the name of the game."not guilty" is the plea.hardly anybody is held accountable for anything.nobody really cares about this country.

Reaction to Lorillard's Earnings Overblown

beats or misses is all anal-cysts crap. reminds me of the wonderful AAA rated phony crap paper that so many bought. i dont listen to or pay attention to all these experts with an agenda.my yield last year was 7.2% & with a fed tax cap @ 15% i cant complain.of course there are many smarter than me that did much better but then again how much do you need?have you got enough chinese junk? have you got your granite counter?flat tv hanging on the wall?
