"Would you even know how to calculate a standard deviation?" Jeff, I have multiple **graduate level** courses in statistics, and have produced graduate level original research using said statistics, I GUARANTEE you that I know 10 times more about statistical analysis than you do.— September 28, 2011 9:03 a.m.

Oman is not 1/10th the size of Ca. Ca. is about 160k sq miles and man is about 120K sq miles or about the size of Kansas. === If you re-read my comment, I stated Oman's POPULATION is 1/10 of CA, not it geographic size; "Oman is also a very small country per its population, less than 1/10 the size of CA and less than 1/100'th the size of America.— September 28, 2011 9:01 a.m.

No Skippy, You said that manufacturing was necessary for a country to be rich and I disproved your contention. " OK, you "got me"! In the future I will have to qualify my comments for Mr Expert to exclude "outlier" nations that are far out side the standard deviation, and for the most part are sitting on a natural resource such as oil which is like sitting on top of a gold mine. Singapore is the one exception, as I noted in my original post- but once again it is the exception because of it's size.— September 27, 2011 4:51 p.m.

Stop being a pretender- pretending that you are the one and only all seeing expert on all financial markets-you're not. You are only the "expert" in your wild dreams and fantasies.— September 27, 2011 4:45 p.m.

"It's a gamble, because the person willing to sell them to us at whatever price, is betting that the stocks will be worth less tomorrow than they are today." "Otherwise, they wouldn't be selling." Not true. There are many reasons a stock is sold. Companies raise money to expand and grow by selling stock, and they hope the price goes up, not down. Parties that sell stocks do so for a variety of reasons, not just because they think the stock will go down in value-some are cashing out-some are on margins and must cash out-some are cashing out because of a better value in some other investment. Parties selling are not doing so soley because they think the price will go down.— September 27, 2011 4:42 p.m.

Really....Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Oman, Dubai, the Emirates, Monaco...all big manufacturers?" Singapore, Dubai, UAE and Monoco are countries the size of POSTAGE stamps. Monaco is less than 1 square mile. San Ysidro is bigger than Monaco. All but Singapore derive their wealth from one major natural resource-OIL. Oman is also a very small country per its population, less than 1/10 the size of CA and les than 1/100'th the size of America. And once again it derives it wealth from one major source-oil. When you have small countries-in both population and area, it is much EASIER to change your status in relation to wealth-especially if you're lucky enough to be sitting on a resource such as oil. If you had a HS with 20 students you could easily transform their intelligence and testing level at a pace 20 times faster than that of a HS that has 5K students. Simple explanation. So once again, you compare apples to oranges to try to fool the folks here, only to get shot down, full of holes, by me. I suspect this comment is about as accurate as the rest you post here.— September 27, 2011 12:07 p.m.

Wall Street has always been a casino. Think of the crash in 1929. I'm not certain that it's reasonable to expect the market to be something it isn't. == RFG-it is reasonable to view Wall Street as a financial center for financing American economic growth. If you view it as a casino then they should be in Las Vegas, not on Wall Street. I think Wall Street has turned into a casino, where the insiders/connected few reap huge windfall profits while socializing their losses on the poor. I disagree that it has always been a casino.— September 27, 2011 11:46 a.m.

Governor Brown Shoots Down Hueso's State Bank Idea
Governor Brown, however, believed creating a new task force would strengthen bureaucracy, not the economy. "This bill would mandate yet another "blue ribbon" task force," read Brown's letter to the Assembly. "Rather than creating a new entity, let's use the resources we have." = Finally me and Jerry agree on something— September 27, 2011 11:29 a.m.
