I saw this comment/response on the Haiti article: "I understand your way of thinking on this, but the revenue from this tax will not be as you think because you are assuming that trading will continue as normal. This is probably a very inelastic scenario. You tax and trading grinds to...

saw this in an email, very funny.... Washington, D.C. The Associated Press Congress today announced that the office ofPresident of the United States of America will be outsourced to India as of March 1,2011. The move is being made in order to save the President’s$500,000 yearly...

Ewan MacGregor, acting, that serves a purpose, lol Filthy rich from acting, seems like it ought to be banned!

vultures, maybe, let nature work the way it ought to work...nobody likes the vultures, screw them....vultures serve a purpose, worms serve a purpose, parasites serve a purpose, and even if they DIDN'T THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO EXIST, try to tinker with nature and it's plain to see what happens

that's great gkishot! hard working worms, exactly! the worms aren't in it so that the grass grows green, they are in it for themselves but the grass takes advantage of the worms and grows greener and healthier for it, the grass sees the worms as annoying and useless because they keep...

Agreed gk... The more attempts to orchestrate such a complex thing as a national economy (especially US or other developed nation) the wronger it goes. Look at the tax code, a bumbled mess that only lawyers and accountants can figure out (more uselessness, right?). Just scrap the whole...

how about a "wealth tax"? an asset tax....just one time to help pay the deficit? if you have the money 'cause you made the money in the past, then pay some out to help the US deficit....makes sense to me (for real)

You all probably know the correlation by now....equities up, USD down and vice versa. Would be nice to see a break of that at the time of Obama's speech to equities down AND USD down, and hard too. Make those who like this shit talk pay when they see their retirements going away and there...

Getting into a real (I mean real) debate about who or what is useful or useless to society is dangerous. The scale definitely tilts toward socialism the more this type of thinking gains traction. Just a rambling of socially useless or un-necessary endeavors: -any type of work or...

Seems to me that EVERYONE is thinking this thing is going to continue straight up (talking about S&P500 & Dollar weakness). For a while there everyone was looking for a pullback or some kind of correction. Now everyone is thinking it's going to continue. I just don't see it. Elliott wave...

Since you all mentioned the similarities between golf and trading I have to say for those that play, that Poker is alot like trading. Of course there is the element of the unkown...what variables are headed your way...but it's how you control the situation you are in that matters. It's how you...

FB123....that is a fabulous post...very insightful and well articulated. Intuitively I know this but don't do it as often as I should. Amazingly when bad trades happen it sometimes ruins my week and only after a weekend off do I regain perspective and get going again in the right direction. I...

Sure. TWS 899 is currently browser based only right now and I prefer using the standalone version. As soon as it becomes available (soon I would think) I will test it a bit and post what I find.

Thanks DAV. Maybe I'll upgrade. It is clearly an issue with how many windows are NOT minimized. Even if they are not visible (i.e.-behind each other), if they are not minimized, they increase the load. My solution is to flip through my charts as I need them. So everything is minimized...
