"Guess it depends on if you forecast the economy doing better and recovering better.......or needing to stay on life support."
Perhaps this is such new territory that nobody has the answer. Personally I don't see rates going back down. They might s…
“I think long-term interest rates will fall in 2014… the 30-year Treasury rate may have already peaked,” he said.
This is a quote from Mr. Gundlach in a article from Think Advisor earlier this year.

Jack Ma is becoming some sort of celebrity. It's hard to say if this is a huge hit or the biggest Roman candle to hit the markets. IMHO, this is hype with the media churning out news on everything Alibaba.
Yes it is going to be interesting.
This morning I attempted to download the iOS 8 update for the iPhone. I have experienced busy servers before but between that and a couple of power cuts I gave up for tonight. I suspect Apple's servers are going crazy.
Anyone else here downloading…
I didn't read the link but I will now. Seattle is an expensive place to live.
Edit: PS Having read the link, I am more confused than ever. First, this person was drowning in debt. Later on it is revealed she has $250,000 in a retirement account. S…
Okay. ?
First I don't work for Apple. Apple Pay is probably the safest way to make a transaction at this time. Starting with the thumb/finger print verification. Then Apple Pay doesn't use your cc number for the transaction but instead transmits ra…
I think a lot of the hysteria is unfounded. Janet Yellen has made it clear what the Fed's plan is. Rates are going to rise but at a slow, even a very slow pace. It's not the end of the world but the high blood pressure pundits on CNBC think so. That…
A couple of threads the last few days have commented on this situation but in different ways. One talked about the breadth of the market and how a large portion of stocks are not participating in the bull run. For the Nasdaq, that number is 47%. Sma…
@Old_Joe, my comments were not directed at you in any manner. I was also replying in agreement as to what @timgr posted early in the thread. @davidrmoran responded to my comments and it started to get personal so I backed out as to not start a war …
Yep, it's time to close this thread when some resort to name calling and painting the broad brush on a group. There is no chance for a civil discussion here.
I am thinking this was the plan all along. Lampert saw how he could profit off of Sears ultimate demise. His action is not what a normal CEO would do. He is looking out for number one.
It makes me wonder if nobody else was willing to make that loan?
We've had threads regarding Sears before relating to their troubles. They have been at the edge for a long time. I keep hearing they have value in their real estate. Why don't they …
Our family has paid for water as far back as I can remember. Not only do they pay for water coming in but for water going out. Sewer and storm drainage.
Having a well is not that cheap either. No monthly bills but the initial cost of a well is way…
Thanks for those links Scott. I knew the A8 chip was more powerful but 2 billion transistors? Wow.
The HealthKit is going to be another big venture for Apple. I had read before that they are working with Epic which is a major player in hospital me…
Yes I have seen that 0.15% figure. I think a lot of consumers will see Apple Pay and NFC in general as a safer way to pay besides the convenience. The fingerprint sensor is a huge plus for security and how Apple uses random numbers instead of your C…
To me it appears to be a market breadth issue. I wonder if Alibaba is having that much impact? I've been to their site. I'm not impressed. More like an online five and dime store in a sense. Granted they have most everything there. Fakes included.
Good discussion Scott. I remember when the iPod came out it didn't have much of a impact at first but after a bit of time it started to fly off the shelves.
I have been reading that the iPhone 6 is already sold out. Deliveries are now 4-6 weeks. T…
A government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Is that such a radical idea? It seems today's government has forgotten all those attributes that Lincoln spoke of.
Sure I watch Fox. ( for a small bit). I cannot take the other netwo…
