    Hedge Fund Tracking: Tudor Investment Corp. (Paul Tudor Jones) [view article]
    My guess is these names are held in the Tudor Raptor fund which is run by his business partner Jim Pallotta. Though Jim and Paul are going separate ways after this year. Reply

    Nearly 20% of the S&P 500 Now Covered by No Short List [view article]
    To "The World's Worst S.P." It wouldn't be happening ("the socialization of America") if the unbridled abuses of laissez-faire capitalisim hadn't reared their Medusa's hissing head first. It's a matter of necessary checks and balances. (I like your moniker: "the World's Worst S.P."--we're pretty much all of us keeping you company that way. Good luck to you!)

    The socialization of America spreads its wings. Next will be the lines for toilet paper and bread. Reply

    The primary genesis of the current financial meltdown is subprime lending. Subprime lending was driven by Congress and acquiesced to by the administration. Both major political parties are culpable -- probably the Democrats more than the Republicans because their natural tendency is toward "government doing more."

    Surely, it is clear by now to anyone who can think rationally that the government is the problem. More government will create more problems.

    Too bad the Democrats spent all their time beating up on George Bush instead of Legislating and they now expect to be the party of choice for America. Think again. Reply

    If 95% of the people will get a tax reduction under B.O.; how does the math work for the 40% of people who pay no taxes at all? I guess there is 135% taxpayers? Reply

    Nice partisan try, willking. Probably a good reason for SA comments to stay away from party stuff. This is a bipartisan reaming of the investor.
    As you may know and ignore, the biggest obstacle to auditing and oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac was the Democrat powerful in Congress controlling the committees- Barney Frank ,Chris Dodd and others. They fought any attempts in the past to scrutinize these failed institutions.

    And as you choose to ignore, Fanny Mae was a major contributor to Obama. Obama is just another articulate and attractive face on the old Chicago political machine. To expect him to "lead us into prosperity and allow the nation to shine again" ranks right along with Oprah's coronation of Barry as the "chosen one".

    Failing societies always look for a Messiah, and we have descended to that level.

    Let's get back pertinent investor comments. The election will happen,one way or another.

    I agree with User 26737. King George III has done a job on us for eight long years. Everything he has touched has turned to nothingness or worse. Hopefully, Obama will surround himself with brainy and competent people who can extract us from the messes the King has saddled us with and lead us into prosperity and allow the nation to shine again. The damage done is so extensive that It will take a lot of doing. Reply

    all our representatives ,republicans and democrats,are to blame. They seem to be interested in protecting the big institutions only at the expense of the small investors and the taxpayers. That s what we call capitalism at its best ,rich get richer and poor get poorer. We must all pay for the fat cats greed and poor decisions .The stock options are the source of all this mess, get rid of it ,today,period. Reply

    Right, blame it all on George Bush! That's certainly the kind of clear thinking you need these days. That and "the Democrats will fix it all." You should do just fine. Reply

    The National Market Is Not the Savior of State Regulated Private Health Insurance [view article]
    Turner cannot do basic math and her analysis of health care is always appallingly hilarious. When she talks about how great the market will be in sorting out the problems of health care, she trots out a bunch of solutions only used in traditional closed HMOs like Kaiser and countries like the UK. But of course if you're a right wing idiot then you'll get lots of columns in the WSJ to demonstrate that fact. Reply

    Time to Rethink Our View of Private Health Insurers? [view article]
    The person who posted about HSA's being subject to "use it or lose it" is just plain wrong. FSA's have this provision, but HSA's don't. They are two different animals. Also, to the point about who is contributing/funding the HSA, both the employee and employer can put money into the accounts. The employer who funds an HSA is giving you "free money," much like the matching 401(k) contribution an employer makes on your behalf. The amount that an employer puts in your HSA for you is irrevocable; it's yours the day it goes in the account and the employer can't dictate how, if or where you spend it. And, funds not spent at the end of the year stay right where they are and accumulate interest all the while. Reply
