Candletrader, One more thing before I leave this forum forever: Get the fuck out of my market, you anti-American asshole. You make me embarrassed to be a trader, you pathetic little man. So long

You know, I used to think you were a pretty smart guy, but that moral equivalence crap you're trying to peddle shows you're pretty much an idiot. Anyone who equates anything America has done with the September 11 murders is an intellectual and moral coward.

Or better yet, the government can just take 100% of everyone's income and do what they want with it. No more cars!

Oh, please. Watch out, you're about to trip on all those marbles falling out of your ears.

And of course going to war is much, much easier than, say, lifting embargos and just asking for the oil.

Nice twist. Can't refute the message so smear the messenger. Stalin would be proud.

My plan is to drill a big hole in the Earth so the asteroid passes right through. Of course, the Earth will look like a big doughnut, but...

Huh... and I thought the liberation of an oppressed people was a moral basis... silly me... and since when does a sovereign nation need global consensus? We're not living under a world socialist government.... yet.

They're not direct access but web based as has been mentioned. And I agree that they are primarily options oriented. You can trade equities there but their commissions are steep, around $25 round trip, I believe.

That's a good point, RB. I tend to get nervous when commissions are more than 30% but the principal is the same: if you're taking money out of the market and giving it all to your broker, watch out.

I'm pretty sure he meant little women.
