Back in university (way too long ago) I used to keep in mind that the learning curve is higher for people who work short periods at studying, than for people who slog away for hours at a time.

I could not remember where I'd posted this... so it took me awhile to work it out... Here's the thing, I don't see how your reply applies to what I wrote: <b>"When a CEO in the US is paid $600,000,000, is that cost passed on to consumers? That same $600,000,000 could be divided up among...

When a CEO in the US is paid $600,000,000, is that cost passed on to consumers? That same $600,000,000 could be divided up among 60,000 workers with each of them getting an extra $10,000 a year. What is the difference between the $600,000,000 going to the CEO and going to the workers under...

Would you look at my thread in ... see, I can't remember... Direct Trading maybe... retail firms??? It's down quite a ways on the forum list. I'd be interested in your opinion.

Having thought about this since I read your post, I think the hope behind getting news coverage is that people will write letters, and that there will be a change that will help many people. I think if some people here did as William Rennick suggested, that the problem would be addressed...

I see your point.

Devaluing is a form of valuing. Gold as a standard inhibited artificial devaluing.

Okay, so let me see if I understand what you are saying. Keynes was the economist who contributed the most to our economy as we know it. Previously we had a gold standard. There is significant difference between the two systems. Without a gold standard the government can create the...

I don't disagree. I'm just saying. But overall I get the impression he's lauded.

I wanted to say that the boffin was self described. I was unfamiliar with the word when he used it. (I met him when he was in a think tank in Monterey.) Yes, I'm sure the money pump is useful to government and, that being true, that it's been that way for a long time. But I think it was...

As an aside, my name is Karen Kline. I always put it in my signature, which is about how our fingernails reflect our health, but I wasn't sure signatures with links to web sites were okay here, so I didn't put it in my profile. It was TD Ameritrade who characterized it as 39 emails in 2 days...

Oh, wow, thank you so much. My gosh, I was so worried when I posted that maybe no one would understand and would just jump on me for not being faster. Thank you. I think that you are right. I think that when someone is alone they tend to be invisible and ignored. Especially if they are...

Thank you for the suggestions. I thought about NBC. I'd have to be pretty clear about my disability so that they could see why it took too long for me to be able to trade after the change. It's hard for me to combine things because of the reduced working memory. (It seemed to me that active...

Oh, I'm sure that is a good idea. I mean, VERY wise. The brain damage I have is from a few different things. I'm not sure the traumatic injury part or some of the damage from toxins can heal entirely. I'm a lot better, though, than I was. For awhile it was as if a black tunnel followed me...

Okay, (I don't understand a lot of what you are saying, but I lived with a "boffin" in London for awhile in the 70s and he talked about Keynes. I think that's where the whole money pump idea came from... Yes?) Also I read an interesting book when I lived in London, called "How to Lie with...

I was paying my mortgage by trading at TD Ameritrade. (I had started out at Wells Fargo, where I paid $243 for a 100 share trade of SLB which my financial adviser there suggested. I used Yahoo to see how things were moving and I chose a few stocks on my own that were less per share. One of them...

that's pretty much what I was doing. I liked SLB. It was pretty predictable. I never had the money to buy Goog... at least not a whole hundred shares.

I thought the inflation numbers were arrived at through various "facts"... so how would it be a "lie"?

lol that was fun to read. My Gawd I hope I get the equity from my condo back so I can trade again.

Good for you. You had a good time, you rested instead of messing up. Good plan. Did you see the news today about how lack of sleep has been shown to lead to heart attacks? Resting is vital. You did good!
