92% of Americans wouldn't know the difference between a Laffer Curve, Phillips Curve and Curve Ball. They better consider what would have happened IF stimulus action hadn't been taken. Doesn't matter, though. By the time the 2012 election gets here, the economy will be humming along just...

The USA has one of the highest levels of literacy rates in the world. This is in spite of the vast diversity of people's that we educate. Other nations might produce a larger number of STAR intellectuals but we educate a far broader number of people. Anyways, you think you're so smart, take...

You're an idiot. There is nothing about Marxism that precludes 'freedom'. Marxism is an ECONOMIC term; Freedom is a political term. Not only are they NOT mutually exclusive, you CANNOT have a Marxist (Communist) government WITHOUT Democratic freedom. Stop using the authoriatarian...

+1. I was too drunk to enjoy it last time. Looking forward to the next election.

In 1987 I shook my head in amazement that we would support a theocracy represented by the Taliban: we should have been helping the Soviet Union. I began to feel that we should exit Afganistan about 2 years ago after initially supporting the effort. I felt that we NEVER should have been in...

Could they be waiting for the EIA report ?

Damn !!! I wish I thought 53 was 'senior'.

Thanks, I ordered this book last week.

The chart presented by swtrader goes back about 13 years to 1996. Looking at the left side of the chart and moving to the right edge shows a solid bull market in effect. If I were going to make a case for being in a 'bear market' I would at least expect to see prices on the left side of the...

The S&P Dec futures will hit 1050 on Wed. The RSI went overbought 2 weeks ago and went down to ~40 on Friday last week. In a bull market, which we are currently in, Support comes in at ~40 on the RSI when there is a pullback. Read the posts on ET and you can see a sampling of all the...

Former astronaut Jim Irwin spent years looking for the mythical Noah's Ark and now this astronaut claims contact with alien life forms. Is there a program being conducted by NASA as to the affects of space travel on intelligence ?!?!

Trust me: you can tell. You'll have to make the flights for yourself; or not. The 'hard evidence' is there also. Loggers have NOT had to replant what they cut: only the same number of trees, not the same kind of trees. Economically feasible? Add a $1.00 tax per gallon of fossil fuel to...

I remember so clearly the years of 1992-96 when President Clinton was constantly blasted by the right-wingnuts for every and anything he did. Bad selections of Cabinet members, foot-in-mouth comments (by his enemies standards), and other incidents. I remember an editiorial cartoon in which...

A forest that doesn't burn is not a forest: it is a tree farm. A stand of loblolly pines does not constitute a 'forest'. I've been flying from Nashville, TN to Charleston, SC since 1972 on a regular basis and I have personally witnessed the almost complete destruction of healthy...

Thanks for the feedback McKinneyseller and Saheem. I was surprised to get so little feedback on this question. I chose 2% because I'm most comfortable with that amount of risk. Still, I will be looking at some other methods including the aspect that Saheem touched on. As I understand...

The fact that the planet is warming is NOT in dispute. Thousands of scientists working millions of man-hours since the 1950's and analyzing data as far back as the middle ages regarding temperatures, glacial melt, and reams of other data have PROVEN this FACT. You can listen to right-wingnuts...

Down in TN. Happens occasionally but no as much as it used to.

Many words written on Elite Trader revolve around phrases like 'Price Action, 'Support' and 'Resistance'. This question involves the use of 'Support' and 'Resistance'. Any insights are greatly appreciated. Let's assume that the instrument you are trading has Support at 100 and Resistance at...

...and then Jesus will commence the Rapture. Doom and gloomers have always been wrong and this time is no different.

Obama has accomplished more in 40 years than you can ever hope to accomplish if you live to 80. You're a piece of shit loser and the world will be better off when you die. Fucking idiot.
