    Should the US be split into three countries?

    Shhh...you can't go throwing facts around like that. It doesn't adhere to the Faux News storyline that's being tossed around. Reality has a well known liberal bias.

    IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

    Per Interactive Brokers: IBCS - This decision involves legal considerations, which we are regretfully unable to comment upon at this time.

    How many contracts to allocate per trade as I increase account?

    This is good advice - the attached account recovery picture is in my opinion way, waaay too aggressive with adding contracts. 20 contracts on only 20k in capital!? The market wouldn't have to wiggle too much at all for that capital to take a serious hit percentage wise or, worse, for your...

    Just Shorted Crude at 142.47

    Market cap info on major sites often not accurate. Why?

    It is a little bizarre that Yahoo Finance shows the P/E ratio for IBKR at 2.36 as of today at $32.12.

    End NASA, silly Mars stuff and all US space programs = Solves US Economy problems

    Exactly - a month in Iraq should cover this in its entirety.

    How well to humans know random?

    Perhaps you meant imaginary numbers? There's a rather large difference semantically between the two.

    Obama and the Minister

    I'm not a democrat, but I gotta hand it to Mr. Obama. That was a hell of a speech - potentially historic.

    Anyone here a Lender at Prosper.com??

    Perhaps I've gotten lucky as well, but I've done pretty well at Prosper thus far. I only have 17 loans so far, but they're all current with an average return in the 15% area. I think it is what you make it ultimately - the better job you do in your initial screening, the less headaches you...

    Dumping into close 11-26?

    I'll take any opportunity to bash Bush and company. But far be it for me to wish anyone ill health - perhaps a stay in nice, cozy prison cell would be more to their liking. In the meantime, a sense of humor might be something worth looking into.

    Dumping into close 11-26?

    And if we're lucky, maybe they'll shoot each other...Cheney is already experienced in shooting humans, after all.

    Black thursday.

    Let this volatility continue! Money's just flying around everywhere - pick up your Hoover (or I guess Dyson these days) and get to work...

    Nicolas Sarkozy going nuts

    On the contrary, I think his tenure as the French president has been exceptional thus far. His cabinet selections have been, for the most part, unbiased and inclusive - he simply takes the best person for the job, regardless of their party affiliation...in other words, the way things should be...
