Is it Comedy or Tragedy? So the adolescents in the UAW are all grown up now and entering the world of big business. Congratulations, "you've come a long way baby," albeit on the taxpayer's dime. And now that you've pulled off your coup de ta, what next? Who will lead your new regime? Well of...

I read Freakonomics a few years ago while traveling. It was recommended by a friend and I remember it to be a quick and interesting read. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of economic ideas, but I do not believe that was the author's intent either. With a title like 'Freakonomics', it was clearly...

@nysestocks Are you still getting what you want out of the market? It certainly appears so... There are really only 2 things one needs to know about trading the markets, ...and they come from unusual places ...and are not so obvious. "All warfare is based on deception." ----Sun Tzu, The...

Very nice find... thank you for posting. :) Yours?

I have this same discussion frequently with friends. The debate really isn't about whether to 'socialize' or not, ...the US Health Care System is already 1/2 socialized. According to Wikipedia(Does that sound like Michael Scott?) "...government spending accounted for 45.1% of total health...

Cramer is no longer a trader. He makes his living as an entertainer, and as such must appeal to the middle of the bell curve. I must admit, he is good for a few laughs on occasion. That said, the general public(Cramer's base) is always "long" and views anyone who profits while the market is...

Interesting test. The first few times I was over 200ms, but was able to consistently hit 187ms thereafter. My best was 172ms... Thanks for the link!

In an effort to distinguish between ‘Gambling’ and ‘Non-Gambling’ activity, many have argued that, “Anytime you put your money at risk, you are gambling,” or some variation on that theme. Which begs the question, “Have you found a way to NOT put your money at risk?” A Holy Grail...

All hail The Obama!!!!

Yes. No. Maybe.... This is an interesting thread. However, instead of clarifying the role of "Traders", I think this question plays into popular misconceptions about us. "Traders take risks and make(or lose) money! Those gamblers! Traders are bahahahaadddd!" If Wal-Mart buys 10,000 junkets...

Success breeds envy, especially in those closest to you. My 2cents: Enjoy your success, but don't go out of your way to advertise it. Help those you can, and leave the envious/resentful individuals to their own devices. "Few of us can stand prosperity. Another man's I mean." ....Mark Twain
