    Why do they hate us?

    It's "original context" being the Constitution of the United States. Written, I am pretty sure, before Tom Clancy had even gotten halfway finished with high school. Here's the thing. If times require a change in the constitution, then change it. We can do that. If not, don't. But as things...

    Racistcandle As Racist As Mr Chirac

    Great post Bung. (any post that quotes or even refers to Jimmy Page is a great post). And I actually had written in my post, but decided to omit it before hitting the "submit" button, because it seemed too dated, that I too like France. And that I only had a problem with the attitude of the...

    Best Album of all Time?

    WOW....GREAT LIST!!! (maybe because it is kind of similar to my own). I never would have thought there would be a single person here that would have known "Forever Changes". Great album. I still have the LP. (but no needle in my turntable...I really should do something about that). Truly...

    [/b] The US surrendered "in Vietnam"? When did this happen? I remember that we withdrew from a badly chosen and horribly mistaken campaign. But "surrender"? That is one knock on the US you really cannot make. The US has never surrendered in any conflict. You are French. You should know about...

    Ah, I guess since in New York City alone, you can buy newspapers in more than 50 different languages (which would assume some cultural diversity), a "wasteland" would be a much better word than "desert":confused: What is your definition of "culture"? Can Can dancers and burlesque? Oh, yes...

    How do prop trading firms make moneY?

    Guess I am in the minority. But I prefer to trade prop. I like having a place to go and the sharing of ideas with other traders. I like having reliable equipment with a full time tech support guy available at all times. I like having the bookkeeping for tax purposes better than just...

    I guess this is why all the best French chefs try so hard to leave France, come to America, and work in New York. And, while New York is hardly the most "friendly" city in the US, compared to Paris, it is downright "neighborly". "Cultural desert compared to France"? And all this time I...

    How many girls have you picked up?

    I agree. I did not get married until I was over 30. But saying my wife would not allow me to pick up girls was a joke. I wouldn't want to. If I did not want to be married, I wouldn't be. As far as the car, that was also not a serious comment. That was, I believe, in reference to paying...

    adding liquidity??

    Good questions. And well thought out. From what I have seen, your first scenario is exactly right. If you get hit on a passive bid, chanced are better that the stock will go down than it will go up (at least on the next tick). When I watched guys do this, they would already be "loaded" to see...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    These car makers must be in collusion with the EPA. To me, it looks like the list of "Most Boring Cars on the Road"....with the possible exception of the Mini. The Rav4 is an SUV?? :)RS

    Gregory Peck

    Nah, subtract the married years, and it was only a measly 14 or 15 years of wild sex. :)

    Gregory Peck

    It is amazing to me that it is very possible that the majority of people that post on ET have never heard "Good night Chet, good night David". Or for that matter: "And that's the way it was, today, (and the date), Cronkite's sign off. Now we have actors hired for their voices, looks and...

    Gregory Peck

    I hadn't heard that. Peck was indeed a true 'movie star"! (Mentioned this before...Guns of Navarone will always have a special place in my heart. Saw it the night I lost my virginity, 7/8/63 about 10:42 pm EDST:)) David Brinkley died today as well. A televison news icon and a true pioneer in...

    Must be. Was it Mark Twain? George Bernard Shaw? Well someone was the first that said "youth is wasted on the young" http://olympicpc.com/quotes/adviceforyouth.html I agree with you Max. I have no regrets. But I would always take being 25 over money. But we only get one shot. Man, I...

    closing my trading account today

    Now that's funny!!! And a breakthrough....Max, you divulged something about your personal past!! Good going! We are making progress! Seriously, I think you are right. GG, if he wants to trade, should, IMO (and I think this is sort of what you are saying) keep his toes wet and trade part...

    closing my trading account today

    OK, so how is this going to help GG get back on track? What are YOUR thoughts about his situation? Me, I think he should try and get in with a prop firm. But driving a big rig may work as well. Maybe he needs a break. Peace, :)RS

    How many girls have you picked up?

    AAA, excellent advice. While I am not allowed by my wife to try and pick up girls, I do find myself at a lot of fund raising functions at which I need to talk to strangers. Invariably, people ask what I do for a living. This is just normal social conversation. I found out a long time ago...
