Basted?

Put them in jail, we'll have less killers too. He wasn't much of a threat behind bars in leg irons. As far as I can tell, he would have been a useful asset to keep alive, since he's actually contributing to society now. Show of hands how many people here are up for a Nobel prize? Who here's a...

Save up a thousand bucks and trade it while you work a McJob. Read everything on trading you can find on the internet, but don't trust any of it until you can prove it works for yourself with a trading simulator. If you are good, after a couple years you'll be able to quit your McJob and trade...

600. No reason. I just like the long shots.

And wasn't Buffett Arnold Schwarzenegger's financial advisor in the last election? I thought you guys were buddies.

The Fed's power is in doing the unexpected. They have to keep people somewhat off balance, otherwise their moves have little effect. In other words: next meeting, they'll cut rates to match Japan's. Bernanke will arrive for his first meeting in a helicopter called the Money Machine. When he...

I agree totally. Who could actually believe the government would cancel the publishing of vital economic information that is widely used (at least in my experience) when the potential savings are not even a drop in the bucket, so to speak? It'll save us 2 minutes of debt. <!-- start zFacts Gas...

I totally agree. Your comment is especially scary since they just discontinued publishing the M3 money supply numbers (the numbers are "hidden"). Couple that with Bernanke's "Helicopters of money" speech and we could be looking at something really scary. Any guesses as to what they're up to?

Even better: Try TAXING sandwiches or cars, if we substitute bartering goods for fiat currency. Perhaps the government doesn't like inflation because it is 'looking out for Number One.'

There is speculation that he was a rogue agent working for a foreign power which is trying to weaken or destroy China from the inside... Whatever. China needs better checks and balances if this kind of thing can happen undetected. I can't even buy a new ruler at work without my boss knowing...

Yeah, Christmas still might come early for us! I don't expect it every day, but it sure is nice when it happens.

I hate when that happens! Thanks for the good post. I have to go lookup the actual speech now to see what really happened....

Baron didn't ban Skalpz, he told us he was leaving.

So about five years then? Just kidding... I hope :D

Let my shame teach you a lesson. I slept in today. I looked at the clock and couldn't get the discipline to get up. Normally I would have caught the entire 8:45-11:00 am move both ways. I lost a few hundred easy pips on the Euro (up and then down and then back up again) because when I...

He *WAS* a great advocate of Rand, but he crumbled the minute he got power. He's now viewed by Austrians as the Judas Iscariot of responsible economics; he's become the very thing he once hated. Be sure to check out the Ludwig von Mises Institute, all the answers are in there, in the form of...

Nah, just that one guy. But he sure talks a lot.

If you don't mind my asking, I've noticed that "goldbugs" are looked down upon by many members of the trading community. Why is that? Are the goldbugs seen as unrealistic?

Roswell.

In the forex trading section, he often kept threads going with questions and comments, long after the thread would have died out normally. He had a knack for drawing good information out of good traders by asking them good questions -- and for some reason, they'd answer. The guy was sure...
