    Do Traders have a high alcoholic Rate?

    I know I do. (*hic*) No seriously, traders don't have a high rate, it's just that I skew the bell curve for all of us. And how are you supposed to get inside information if you're not down at the trader's bar socializing with your buddies?

    viruses

    Get a second opinion, since there's lots of false positives nowadays. Fprot has a decent free antivirus, and MacAfee has an online virus scan called House Call or something like that. You can also shop at BitTorrent, if you know what I mean. Go into your registry (Start - Run - regedit.exe)...

    Ayn Rand coming to the big screen!

    LOL! You know it. I didn't know Greenspan was a jazz musician. That explains a lot, thanks. If you like Rand, you'll love Mises. Check it out, if you haven't already.

    Sure, you can call me a cab, just don't call me late for dinner! {*Ba-dum-Pah!*} Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

    Sept. 11 factors that hurt U.S. economy led to economic boom in Gulf

    If you want to make big money, you've often got to think outside the box. Think International. One of my friends (a politician) made nearly 1000% buying and holding an Italian airline. His original investment? $250,000. Right now he's buying into China and some other Asian countries.

    Alan Greenspan Replacement - The Best Choice

    Stephen Roach is excellent and insightful and I read his market research regularly. He'd be an excellent pick if we wanted to slowly and wisely heal our decaying economy by attacking the root problems. However, the purpose of the Fed Chairman is not to fix the economy (which Roach would try to...

    Update on my USD/JPY Short Trade

    sKaLpZ, thanks for keeping us updated on your trades -- win, lose or draw. You're one of the FEW people who actually talk trading on here. Everyone else just takes self-righteous potshots at those who do, though they (like myself) contribute nothing. Even if you end up being the tragic...

    Venezuela threatens anew to turn off oil spigot to US

    Yeah, it's too bad the Leviathan US bureaucracy isn't even close to being capitalist anymore, despite what they constantly claim... What's interesting is that this week, Dick Cheney is visiting the Premier of Alberta and taking a tour of the Albertan oil sands. Get ready to short Canada --...

    what happened to these great posters?

    I'm usually too busy posting drivel on ET to have a clue how much things cost around me (except Starbucks -- OUCH!), but yeah, I know what you mean.
