    Star Trek lives

    Star Wars was a lesson on how to forgive and how not to protect a space station from enemy attacks. Star Trek is by far a much more entertaining franchise. I agree it makes you think. Brilliant writing.

    Aapl

    It's a shame Apple is taking this route. They would sell alot more phones if they simply made them non-exclusive for phone service.

    failure rate ?

    Not until the bubble pops. Just like a ponzi scheme, as long as more people are willing to buy at higher prices, the sum of the game will continue to go up.

    Why the obama budget freeze is a joke

    I disagree that it is a joke on the merit of the size of spending involved. The yellow band will affect the size of the red band over time. Plus, from a glance, the yellow band looks pretty big to me. Alone, will the spending freeze fix the nation's deficit crysis? Absolutely not, but every...

    Have you ever blown up your trading account?

    How many traders have a net to catch their fall? I think I understand the ultimate lesson this thread is attempting to teach. NEVER risk it all.

    Why some traders are bitching about the lack of volatility?

    I have a question. Please note that I have never traded before. If volatility becomes too low for someone to trade options, then why not switch to stocks?

    Please donate to Haiti

    I believe New Orleans has had more than enough relief from the flood. There is only so much that can be done to help a city in need when the state does not want to help it. The main enemy to New Orleans is the government corruption. Since Katrina, I think a majority of americans wised up to...

    daytraders, you better learn.....

    Question: Which is riskier? Day trading or swing trading? My impression is day trading is less risky because you do not hold stocks overnight.

    Truly sad to see a young man not able to join the Army

    Or they can go into politics. Use his criminal past as a way to preach to the next generation on the dangers of making stupid choices at a young age. He would be elected in an instant.

    Where can i safely park my money?

    I just want to stress that this is an accusation. Nothing has been proven in court yet, as far as I know. This information was just gathered from Google searches I made some months ago as I wanted to know more before deciding to make an investment into p2p lending sites...

    Where can i safely park my money?

    Anytime. Alot can change in 2 years with p2p lending, since it is in it's infancy still. You may also want to know that is a pending lawsuit against Prosper led by many of it's original investors for apparently fraudulantly underselling bad debt. I read that one of the investors actually offered...

    Little Iceland kicks UK in the face

    If Iceland was a person, Iceland would have maxed out it's credit cards and declared bankruptcy protection. How can anyone argue that Iceland is the good guy in this situation? On a simular comparison: The US is also maxing out it's credit cards, which is why the US had to increase it's...

    Coming in 4 months: Free cell phone usage in your house

    Confirmed. Basically, this is just like the other magicJack. The only difference is you connect cell phones to it instead of regular phones. There are regular phones that are powered via the phone line on the market, therefore the laptop idea is nothing new, just improved.

    Coming in 4 months: Free cell phone usage in your house

    I already have one of these. It's called a cordless phone connected to a magicjack... However I can see the convenience of your cell phone suddenly being free inside someone's house. However there is a problem with this... Do you get to use your cell phone's number? If not, and your calls...
