This story isn't getting nearly the attention it deserves. Imagine somebody just suddenly decides to dump all the info on the web. How will any...
Very small E results in a very large P/E. Imagine if they had zero earnings. The P/E would be infinity! :eek: :p It just demonstrates one of the...
Never thought it would happen, but AAPL dropped low enough that it finally appeared on the fundamental-based stock screener I use. So it's in my...
Anything might as well be random if you have no accurate way to determine what it will do next. It's the same for flipping a coin, rolling a die,...
I'm not getting the Firefox "reported attack site" warning anymore. :cool:
I think it would actually do a lot of good if congress went over the physical cliff.

I'm not talking about saving 1k over ownership expenses. I'm talking about saving as in building net worth. A guy makes $3000/month at his job,...

I've always thought it was funny how home owners talk about "building equity" as though the value was materializing out of thin air. LOL. I...
This thread is quite amazing. OK, I realize we have a doom and gloom thread on ET every day, but this one got 9 pages of posts within 12 hours....
