Obama A Fear Monger'er?We Answered:
This leopard changed his spots as as soon as the election was over. I heard him the day after on NPR & the first thing out of his mouth was - it's going to take a long time, maybe one term or two or more. Started the CYA pronto. Cater II - the MALAISE is upon us.Roger Said:
Is Barack's package excessive?We Answered:
YES and you're not even touching on the specifics which would piss off alot of tax payers. Sad to see so many Americans believe this crap will put money in "tax payers" hands. Not hardly. Have you seen the revision cutting billions of dollars from states running out of money? Some states didn't even see money for roads like they were told. This is another knee jerk band aid on a problem that will not work in the long run. And there's no guarantee it will work in the short-term. But hurry up and support it because O'bummer is playing on your fears big time...and he wants to look like he's doing something for you.Grace Said:
Is Obama using scare tactics to try to get the stimulus bill passed?We Answered:
Yeah, Instead of sitting down with the moderates and hammering out an agreeable "Spending Bill," he's out there campaigning fear and division. It's for the reasons you post that many do not support this bill as is. Too much self serving special interest, earmarks and pork.Gabriel Said:
Where's the balance of stimulus vs excessive?We Answered:
in this case, there is no balance.Alfredo Said:
Can you think of a better reason to spend 3 minutes contacting Ur Representative NOW?We Answered:
Great summary.Why is the federal government sticking its nose in everything these days? History shows that federal "help" is more of a hinderance than a help.
Butt out, Big Brother!

Commodities trading questions?We Answered:
1. yes, buying and selling contracts (the obligation to take or deliver at a specified price on a specified date. "place" has nothing to do with it.2. 99% of the time, no oil ever trades hands, it's all imaginary money.
3. this concept applies not only to oil and commodities, but to all futures products.
skipping over your banking questions... as for trading in a game. you'd seek to gain quite little by this -- as trading derivatives is something that is typically only well understood by professional traders that have been taught by someone else in the trade. a process that can often take a couple of years. you'd be better off pursuing a position as a trader's assistant within a professional firm to learn the business.

Can You Buy "Loose" Commodities? ?We Answered:
You can buy ETFs tracking single commodities.There are ETFs which duplicate the gold market, silver, soybeans, oil, wheat, etc...Just be aware that some of them track the spot market while most of them track the futures market. In the former case is exactly like owning a stock but in the latter your ETFs' value could be slowly eroded by the "carry" - a loss implicit in holding a futures position for a long time due to the fact that when futures expire the new contract could be priced higher than the old .... and then come down losing that premium. Carry, when present, can represent generally an annual 5-8% of the price.
My sincere advice, anyway, is to simply stay as far as you can from commodities, especially at these crazy times, until you learn to trade them. You need a backtesting software - commodities are not a buy & old asset !!
