I say we teach intelligent design and creationism in the schools and eliminate any discussion of evolution at all. Then sit back and watch China, Russian and India wipe the floor with us in biotechnology... Genetics and Evolution work to expla…

Agreed on all of that. Looks like GOOG is going to give the markets a pop tomorrow AM. It'll be interesting to see what happens with volatility, it has broken down much lower than I had expected (which may be a signal that I'm wrong). I'm not…

I agree that the time is probably past to get into foreign currencies. I'm concentrating right now on what the signals are going to be to get out. Once the US Fed is down to 1% and the ECB starts to lower rates that should stabilize the dollar. …

yeah, although its not surprising that stocks have rebounded. the indexes were sitting around their 200-DMAs looking for a reason to rally after being oversold... the headlines claiming why the stock market is moving on any given day are usually a…
