I don't want to get too off topic Rearden Metal. No, I don't agree with the opiod essay nor do I agree with conventional medicine. That doesn't mean opiods won't put anybody in a better mood, depressed or not hee hee:p

I just wanted to give my 2 cents, don't really want to go into individual cases. Usually takes 1/2 hour at least and would be impossible on this forum. Bye all! :)

I can prescribe Ritalin in this country. Perhaps wouldn't be so in the US, don't know, don't care. I spend a lot of time in the states and I see you have the same problems, only worse, that we do. I have enough money to never have to work again and I have extra "gambling" money that I use...

I've never actually done it yet! Actually, its hard to be angry at the parents because they probably got the same thing from their parents. Its more the situation that upsets me. Its like the bible says "they don't know their right hand from their left" or something like that when God is...

More ROFL at my expense? More grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

"He'd be the first clown to start a thread to bitch about IB when he blows-up at 100:1. One more thing: Gambler, fix the moronic subject line... margin is too high, not low. You're referring to leverage." GRRRR! You may call me a moron because the title is stupid. But I am not a clown and I...

Thanks SteveIB for the margin information.

Is there some way to liquidate someone's account on the weekend if they have a margin call? Oanda allows trading on the weekend with a spread of 10 eur/usd

PeteHS, any plans for lower spreads in the near future?

1.)Would be interesting to hear feedback: do you forex traders pay your taxes and what are the various laws regarding taxation in various countries? 2.)What would currently be the easiest (and nicest, civilized) place I could move to to escape this bloody nonsense? If you trade anything and...
