Do you americans miss playing @ Pokerst*rs?

[forsberg21]

We have Microsoft, Apple, Wal-Mart, Exxon Mobile, GE, GM, BkofAma, Chevron and Ford

Europe has Airbus and Volkswagen

Canada has the Royal Bank of Canada

US wins by a landslide... #EUburied

Kraken, you are the biggest fukkin goomba on here. This is how stupid you and America are:

BkofAmerica??? Are you serious??? I can reach into my pocket, grab all the change in there and buy a few shares of that joke of a bank. Isn't it trading at like $7 a share??? Citigroup was trading at $4 a share until it did a reverse 1:10 split. American banks are borderline bankrupt. Their assets consist of 14 million foreclosed homes! Clown! Wasn't GM bankrupt too not so long ago???

Volkswagon? What about Porshce, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Bentley, Audi, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Ferrari? Have you heard of these companies?

Royal Bank of Canada, along with the others, made billions of dollars each quarter while all the USA sacks of shit were losing the same amount during the financial crisis.

The only thing the US is winning is the race for the quickest declining country in the world. I bet you live in swampland and have never stepped foot outside your state. Keep your ignorant, redneck opinions to yourself Cletus.

Why do all the superior students in other countries come to the US to study?

You europeans or whatever the fukk you guys are always mention this "debt" that we are in.... do you think we give a fukk? What are you guys going to do about this debt? I'm still living fine and thats all I give a fukk about I could careless about the scum that is in the US they are worthless but every country has those people.

Foreign students study in other countries other than the US. Did you know that, or do you think the US is the only country in the world with universities?

Porshce , Volkswagon LOL.

BkofAma actually has been probably the best stock to buy this year, up around 46-48% since the year began, LOL. Do you guys read anything about the stock market at all, what a dumb post. BkofAma is still an $86 billion market cap company, doesnt have most banks exposure to Europe, you couldnt have invested in a better stock than BkofAma this year so far.

I hate investing in these banking stocks but BkofAma has been on fire. I would never stay in these banking stocks as they are too volatile but how can any literate person come in here and blast BkofAma's 2012 numbers as they stand today. This is the dumbest stock post I have seen on SBR I have seen in a long time, BkofAma has shown incredible returns this year

I Like the USA but the fact that you can have guns yet arn't allowed to play cards is ridiculous. Especially when 1/2 of all Americans over the age of 18 had atleast $1 at risk on the superbowl...... It's the definition of denial.. That being said, it seems like steps towards legislation are being made all the time now so I'm sure Stars and other big sites will be back and available within 18 months or so

[chingo]

@ posters saying its cheated, etc and dont miss it- obviously ur a losing player and cant play cards for chit......i wouldnt miss losing either. but ive never seen such easy money.... seriously!XD ud get cheated by one of these a+ bookies before anything.... u guys cant tell the differnce from ur ass and ur elbow

Every single post that forsberg kid makes is about America. Guy spends 8 hours a day researching everything about the U.S. But says he hates it. Unreal.

[Deep_Rest]

Everleaf just pulled out of the US market. Legislation seems to be going the wrong way for letting Americans back into the online poker scene. I hope they leave Bovada and Merge alone

[Dan Kelly]

I notice the consensus here believes that Poker sites will be coming back to the US soon. The DOJ a couple of weeks ago did issue a directive basically saying that they wouldn't block states from running poker - but that doesn't mean that non-governmental entities will be allowed to function. Online poker in the US will be like the states lottery - run by the states, the odds will be horrible, the setup will be worse than the poker machines at the casinos, and they won't allow anyone to compete with them because they want to keep the market for themselves.

[YouMama]

I would prefer a north american only site, where the gov't oversees every aspect, subjected to american courts and a actual real gaming commision, not some fake ass kahnawake/isle of man. bullshlt ... run the shlt in puerto rico if u want, just provide some actual integrity to it.

USA Regulation would be best

Only real gaming commissions are in the UK

Everything else is unsafe

Once the USA regulates poker, no one will be able to play it for a decent living as those greedy mother fukers will suk you dry with taxes. They have no clue how small the edges are and will fuk poker up for the professional.

First of all, if you base your stock returns of a 5 week time frame, you are the biggest square on the board. Motley Fool?!? LOL! They are the biggest pump and dumpers on the internet, you really are a square, aren't you?

If you really value stocks over a time frame like 5 weeks, I guarantee that you are down money in the long run. I can select a 5 week data point between any stock and show you an impressive return. How is Bank of Duhmurika doing over the last 6 months? 12 months? 2 years? That's a little more accurate son. It's cool though, everyone has to be a newbie by definition when they first start out in the stock market.

If you like playing roulette, then yea, investing in Bank of Dukmurika is a good bet for you. But, if you're an actual "investor", you wouldn't touch that stock with a 10 foot pole.

BTW, you do know that Buffet didn't buy the same shares that the rest of the squares trade on a daily basis, right? He invested in preferreds, with a coupon of 6%. Plus, he got millions and millions of warrants, which are now in the money. Buffet = sharp. You = pigeon.

[YouMama]

isnt stock trading more about mass psychology than the actual strength of the company, like you might buy something knowing its a complete POS but trends and news seem right for a move, so you buy the POS and unload it to the sheep?

If you replace "WE" with "SOVIETS", then your statement is correct. The SOVIET UNION was the one who eventually occupied BERLIN, NOT the US.

Please show me these numbers for 2012 that compares with BkofAma's return in 2012, maybe netflix. You are obviously young but your post about BkofAma was absurd looking at their returns this year, the kind of people involved in the high frequency trading that goes on with a stock like BkofAma have made money and will make money hand over fist on a stock like this year. It is a volatile stock as any banking stock will be until the European mess is settled. Porshce is spelled Porsche by the way.

poker boom is officially over.

[Gruntworker]

US regulation would be epic! Fill the online rooms with players back in the Party Poker days. I definitely miss FT & Stars. l haven't multi-tabled in so long... not even sure I could handle 12 tables at this point. But yeah, with the difficulty to even make deposits leading up to Black Friday the player pools were getting tougher and tougher anyway. Regulation to fill up the tables with casual players is the only way to go.

Do I miss FT & Stars? Of course I do, why wouldn't I?

Actually..
You really think the soviets would of been able to occupy berlin if the english and Americans were not coming in from the west? The soviets would of been crushed if their was not another front opened. Next time before you get grumpy with people you should look at your facts before you make comments like it would be nice if people for once used factual information. My facts were correct. Just because someone occupied a capitol does not mean that was the reason the war ended. Plus I was not getting into this pissing war you and other posters I was making a joke. I really could give a shit less about what you or any others think of my country. I feel I live in the greatest country in the world and I would hope people feel the same about their countries. I am sure you feel the same about Canada or where ever you are from. I don't care my goverment doesnt want me to gamble online because in the grand scheme of things, this is very small in my eyes. My number one concern is not that I am able to get withdrawals or deposits easier. There are more important issues like unemployment, housing costs and medical expenses, but I am glad I live in a country that millions of illegals want to enter every year to work. I wouldnt trade it for anything. I don't always agree with what my goverment does but I am sure no one does. Some people just take shit to personal on here.

Fool, the point, if you didn't get it, is that you should never use 5 weeks in 2012 to label a stock as a good investment. Do you realize what happened to this stock outside of these 5 weeks?

Bank of Duhmurika on the decline, just like Uhmurika itself. If you're a day trader, you've done well over the past 5 weeks. If you're an "investor", 5 weeks are a blip in time.

I'll enjoy my Moneybookers, online poker, having the FREEDOM to do whatever I WANT with MY money and NOT PAY TAXES on my winnings while you live in constant fear from the IRS, having to visit dodgy places like W.U. to send money, not be able to play on PokerStars and in general, live in such a shitty country like the USA.

The only thing the US is winning is the race for the quickest declining country in the world. I bet you live in swampland and have never stepped foot outside your state. Keep your ignorant, redneck opinions to yourself Cletus.

I was responding to this statement you made about Americas banks being "borderline bankrupt" I realize you probably didnt learn this in wharton or stanford business school, but where do you come up with statements like this? You single out BkofAma which just happened to be DJIA's top gainer for the year and one of the best performing stocks on the S&P 500 for 2012 when you posted, couldnt you have found a better example at the time you posted.

If you think American banks like Wells Fargo or BkofAma are not solvent or "borderline bankrupt", give some reasons why. American bank assets consist of 14 million foreclosed homes?????

Wells fargo just reported fourth quarter earnings of 20 percent. Bank of Americas absorption of country wide was a horrible move but this is a bank with trillions in assets, where you can buy shares at barely a quarter of the books bank value. BkofAma is the nations second largest bank in assets, the largest branch network, and just reported earnings of 2 billion for the fourth quarter, so what exactly is your valuation for banking stocks?

BkofAma has over a trillion dollars in assets to "borrow short at low numbers and lend at higher rates". Thats what so much of banking is about, their investment arm is still one of the best around but its going to be awhile before these investment numbers turn around. Even with this massive mortgage settlement and litigation looming these banking stocks havent tumbled. The KBW bank index is at 44.53 as of this weekend, far from "borderline bankrupt".

I dont know why you cant ever make a coherent argument without losing it emotionally and veering off into some personal rant, but I am not a day trader or even a frequent trader right now. I loathe alot of this high frequency trading ,that "flash crash" back in 2010 almost gave me a heart attack when I was at work. I have become alot more of a conservative investor like my dad. My dad has been with Berkshire Hathaway for 20 years and I have seen alot of calls they have made that I regret not taking but I am just not that patient, but I am not one of these high frequency traders that make up alot of the trading that is driving up the stock price for BkofAma.

I look at everything that Buffett does but the only banking stock I have a large amount invested in is Wells Fargo. Buffetts third largest holding is Wells Fargo, I doubt he feels Americas banks are "borderline bankrupt" if he has such a sizable amount of Berkshires portfolio in Wells Fargo, not to mention owning MandT, US Bancorp and other banking stocks and putting 5 billion into BkofAma. Your whole post about Buffetts investment into BkofAma doesnt make sense, if BkofAma is "joke of a bank" and is"borderline bankrupt", he wasnt sharp to make this 5 billion dollar investment unless he activates his warrants very soon. LOL.

Alot of people were comparing Buffetts deal with BkofAma with what Buffett did with Geico in the 1970s and AMX in the 1960s, you try and find companies whose fundamentals are sound and whose price is undervalued. Even if Buffet were to activate his warrants with the 7.14 strike price soon, he has made around 1 billion dollars off the BkofAma investment, but with the dividend Berkshire is getting from BkofAma and the preferred deal set up between BkofAma and Berkshire has, I dont see that happening. He has a decade to exercise his warrants.

Of course Buffett didn't buy common stock shares and his preferred deals are obviously not something the the average investor could have got with that kind of dividend, but the average investor isnt putting 5 billion into BkofAma. From what I read the yield on preferred shares was available at 9% to any small investor when Buffet made his deal with Moynihan and BkofAma. I have never had preferred shares, but I am fine with my positions in BkofAma and Wells Fargo. They are showing numbers that are far from "borderline bankrupt". Wells Fargo is an excellent stock to own, the type of high frequency trading going on with BkofAma is a little worrisome but we will see.

So if you want to educate me about banking or stock fundamentals , give me some of your banking background and why you feel Americas banks are nearly bankrupt and their assets consist of 14 million foreclosed homes. Are you in the banking industry?

Are you kidding with this? France was overrun and had a puppet government. The Germans were able to bomb London at will. In fact one of the main reasons the allies were even able to hold out so long prior to the US entry into the war was because of cash and carry and the German's breaking of the neutrality agreement with Russia.

The simple fact remains, American supplies and troops were instrumental in winning WWII, now I will agree with you this had little to do with the greatness of America at the time and everything to do with the resources that were beyond the reach of German bombing(although the u-boats got pretty close to the American coastline and the resource ships were obviously targets in the Atlantic ) and a steady supply of American troops. To deny this fact is to deny history.
