In places like Phoenix, 54% of homeowners with mortgages have negative equity. That's about half a million underwater mortgages, more than the combined totals in Texas and New York state, where 10 times as many people live.

Far be it for the industry to play it straight, to simply state that price as currently constituted has nothing to do with market dynamics of supply and demand.

Never mind that Keflezighi is an American citizen. Never mind that he's lived in the United States for 22 years. Never mind that he has raced for the United States in the Olympics.

It is long past time that our government take seriously and study intensely how oil prices are determined in a world of OPEC, speculation, timid oversight and failing transparency.

My mother died because she didn't have health insurance. What sane person would not go to the doctor with her symptoms and suffering? A person who knew that going to the doctor costs money. Money that we found out she didn't have.

In my book, there's nothing 'quaint' about corporate fraud or ripping off pension funds. So, I'll continue to bring the high-priced rip-off artists like State Street Bank to justice, regardless of CNBC sneers.

You are not doing your children any favors by not allowing them to grow up. I'm OK with parents helping children through college (in four years, not forty), but after that they are on their own.

I've watched many people get in trouble with upside down car loans, second mortgages or high interest rate financing. Credit keeps many people from living within their means. Then a friend told me he was buying a large house.

We live in a world of nightmares. But understanding these worries -- the myriad ways the world could end -- and hedging against them is the way to turn the fear into greed, the nightmare into a dream.

"Manipulation" is immeasurably more sinister than "Speculation." It bespeaks of controlling, orchestrating and maneuvering to falsify and rig.
