Man I love hearing from well educated people on this forum. Arguing with you would be a waste of time, it boils down to economic opinions. Only time will tell what is right, and even that may not help. It is going to be a very interesting couple of years to see how everything is affected. I...

That is a very common assumption, and yes in some instances the money is being used in the wrong places. But basically the reasoning is that every financial institution is de-leveraging and as a result decreasing their investments in risky assets. The only real news of companies pissing money...

That is very true. The problem with banks going bankrupt is the ripple effect it has. It obviously would be the best solution to the problem at hand. For example just imagine what would happen to small businesses if they still couldn't obtain credit (although many cannot). Many of them rely on...

Truthfully there are many issues plaguing this country currently, and any person can easily blame it on any scapegoat they would like. I for one believe that at least a portion of the financial bailout was necessary. Granted I am in the industry but it is very obvious to me how the...

I'm pretty positive everyone gets HD Cable free, maybe just not the premium hd channels. All you need is a HD Capable box, which the Tivo HD is. If i'm not mistaken you need to get CableCards to use that thing so you should check to see if your cable company will charge you.

I've seen this mentioned multiple times, paying cash has its advantages but financing (at a reasonable rate) is typically a better idea. Say you get a decent rate on a loan (4-5%) it makes more sense to absorb the payments and invest the money where you are earning a higher rate of return...

You are going to call me out on this? I don't think its worth my time trying to get you to understand economics and not left wing hot air.

The price has really nothing to do with the election. In case you have been under a rock the past few months our economy is going to hell. The lack of demand (along with the added speculation that there will be less demand, ie. futures) is what is causing the decrease in price. Yes it will go...

Because no one is buying it you moron.

It really doesn't matter. If you like WaMu and their branches are convenient there is really no reason to pull your money out (unless for some reason you have over 100k with them). Most banks are hurting, BofA I think will not be so strong once the whole Merrill lynch thing is finished as I...

This is entertaining, but extremely frightening that this issue is going to play a huge issue in the upcoming election and very few people grasp it. There have been accurate points, on the right track points, and off the reservation points. First AIG was not bailed out because they are...

Let me know what school you are at so I make sure not to apply there

I'm actually going through a course right now and I've taken plenty of practice tests. Practice your basic math skills, if you go to the gmat web site you can download a practice program that has basic math reviews and practice problems which are helpful. The test is not an IQ test, it basically...
