Why not? ffs you think Americans should all be called Cricket and Rugby ? You've just won the prize for the most racist post of the day, congrats!

Which is why I'm pretty sure you can transfer your holdings from one broker to the other. It's an account transfer request, from new broker to former. That way you don't incur a tax penalty .

They do plant the correct crop, nothing brings in more foreign currency, except maybe coca plantations, but the climate isn't suited for these. Mining will be carried out by chinese companies... Afghans just know herding, agriculture and waring.

I know you do. It's obvious.

Did I just hear a heel click?

As far as I know you should be able to transfer your investment account from broker X to broker Y without having to sell and buy back.

Wait, what?!? JSOP speaking Chinese propaganda?!!? o_O:banghead:

Lol, I take it you aren't familiar with Russia's repudiation of its debt? When the communists took over Russia, they told the Brits and French (among many others) to go f*** themselves about repayment of Russia's multi million dollars debt, pretty much like @Overnight suggests America to do...

And to bounce off of this, look at colonial wars of conquest, from early civilization to our last ones. It's always a dominant group asserting their power over another or many others by all means necessary. Most often, decades or centuries later those subjugated rebelled and reclaimed their...

They wouldn't be the first ones! In wars of attrition where our enemies can survive with nothing in whatever environment, the US can never win because we depend so much on our supply chain for everything. We can go in, win battles, win wars and get out otherwise our costs become prohibitive...

Not sure how NK entered the discussion except perhaps to build a strawman then slide right to the other slanted eye people (all the same aren't they?) to make your point about... what exactly? Chinese businesses sold us goods we ordered so we shouldn't pay their government our debt? Hard to...

Good luck with that one... Fk em! works well behind your screen at home but doesn't translate so well in international government finance.

The Chinese own a chunk of US debt.

The victims aren't the traders or even the investors, they're those who have nothing to do with the financial world because they just earn enough to make ends meet and lose their jobs because of some bad financial decision from corporate execs. I think we all know that from time to time the...

Just don't want to be standing when the music stops

Doesn't bother me for trading, but got gaming it's a bitch! :D

I think you're giving the Feds far more responsibilities and power than they have.

I went to graduate school in Denver. Absolutely loved that city and region. Back then I was trying to convince (and failed) my parents to buy a house there for me that they could sell 2 years later and make a profit from. Around DU, these were selling for around 75K. Great memories.

I'm wired and struggle through 250 ping to US server from Singapore!
