Do hardcore libs realize an oil tax would hurt mostly everyone?

Don’t they realize that those “record profits” are going towards the shareholders, who happen to be mutual funds, who handle 401K’s, etc for people’s retirement funds. Thus more money would be going to the government, and less people would be able to fund their own retirement and would be more dependent on the government.

Lela – my point is that she has done a good job of vilifying evil oil companies for making a profit. In return, [...]

How did the Three Kings know which presents the Baby Santa would like best?

Why would Baby Santa want gold, frankincense and myrrh? Wasn’t he a little young for all of that? Did Mary and Joseph use the gold for Santa’s well being or did they start a trust fund for him?

In an effort to diversify would I be able to pick more than one mutual fund to invest in as a Roth IRA?

I know that a Roth is theoretically an envelope that you put your investments in. My question is, what’s the limit? One mutual fund, 3 mutual funds, 10 mutual funds? I don’t really mess with stocks or EFTs, that’s why they’re not mentioned.

Would the soviet Union still have fallen w/ out USA?

I was wondering if we really needed the massive build up of arms during the cold war and if the USA’s involvement was absolutely necessary for the downfall of the Soviet Union, helped it fall sooner, or even caused it to be around longer. Of course many would immediately jump up and shout that [...]

Why would anyone choose Vanguard’s index fund over the corresponding ETF, now that ETFs are commission free?

Vanguard now lets you trade their ETFs without any commission at all, as long as you use their brokerage account (which is also free). Since their ETFs have lower fees than their corresponding index funds, why would someone choose the fund over the ETF? The commission was the main drawback of the ETF, [...]

I do not. Most professionals do not do as well as the market so I invested 600 dollars in my Federal Govt managed pension in an S&P 500 index fund in 1985 and then left the employ. I could not roll it over. The govt. assumes we are not professionals so they limit what we [...]
