my cousin, who was an options mm, explained this to me once. i didn't really understand it back then, but i remember the bit about premiums coming back. i wondered then why you wouldn't just close the position; it's not like you're gonna miss out on THAT much extra profit by not 'letting your...

Just read Trane's thread and it got me to thinking. haha. some of the cheesiest movies of all time come from the 80s. (so does the betamax. anyone still got one?) still, it's my all time favorite movie period ever. i simply love 80s movies. i get all nostalgic watching them. (not...

i totally disagree. i labored under the misconception that a 'consistent' return was the best way to trade. (taking $X from the market every day, or every week). sold myself way short doing so. markets simply aren't conducive to making a 'consistent' return on them. they fluctuate...

rearden, it is obviously NOT a religion of peace. after reading the Koran, how the fuck can ANYONE say it is? or look at the ACTIONS of mohammed, how can ANYONE claim that those were the actions of a 'peaceful man'? LOL. what a joke. he was a murdering lunatic and a paedophile! (sex...

i'd be shocked if we didn't take out the october lows. what the hell was so special about them? this has just been another pause in an otherwise very healthy bear market. why in the world would anyone think we've seen a bottom yet? it's not like there's anything even remotely...

lobster, you're trading style sounds very similar to mine. the 'holding losers' problem isn't something i have to worry about, but the i'm not doing nearly as well with the style this year as i was last. well, i'm actually down for the year. having a few down months isn't a problem at all...

for fucks sakes gekko, i told ya dude: join a fucking prop firm! how much more fuckin simple can it get??? if you really wanna be a day trader that badly, sell that fuckin car of yours, buy something CHEAP that will move you around and join a fucking firm; PDT problem SOLVED. DUH ps...

yes dammit! i've been addicted! :mad: not cos it's that great of a site (no where near as good as when i joined a year ago) just because it's a convenient way to kill a few hours... but 'killing hours' surely isn't desirable! we've only got a precious, limited supply of them...

this is getting better all the time... 10-25-02 10:58 PM Net around $440K, but Uncle Sam will of course be getting a nice chunk of that. Marc (that post is here) so, $5k in july to $440k by start of november -- HOLY TOLEDO (ok, you claim you started in about july '01, so i...

HAHAHAHA now i'm really laughing. dude, YOU are the one CLAIMING that it is POSSIBLE for something to be objectively 'good', NOT ME! :D i regard any notion of 'good', 'evil', 'right', 'wrong' as completely HUMAN constructs, with no referents in reality. 'good' doesn't exist. it's...

murder is not a 'state' at all, so that alone makes your entire statement utterly nonsensical. in any case, what in the world does that have to do with anything i said? all i want is an answer to "why is killing wrong" beyond our FEELINGS about it? you've given none. if only people's...

oh yeah... i ask you a hundred times to demonstrate to me what makes morality objective and all you can do is huff and puff and repeat to me your own moral feelings... and then you have the nerve to say _I'M_ being irrational.... :rolleyes ps - and just for the record, i actually...

hahahaa! give UP optional! morality is PURELY SUBJECTIVE and there's not a damn thing you can do about it! hahahahah get used it to buddyboy!

just what is the difference between 'decriminal' and legal?

CERTAINLY! that's my entire position! that it's people's FEELINGS towards something that make it 'good' or 'bad'! that what we consider 'good' or 'bad', or what we choose to make legal or illegal is based on how we FEEL about it. precisely what i've said all along! so having said...

dgab, that you obviously disagree with them (quite vehemently) doesn't detract from the fact that hapa's introduced many interesting, thought provoking ideas into this thread. btw, the only one asserting his gramps was a "fool", is you.

"good" you say? good for WHOM? good for WHAT? is it 'good' if the (your beloved) 'vast majority' wants him dead? how is it 'good' for them? why is human life, in total, ACTUALLY good? what makes it good? surely it hasn't been good for OTHER life, ie animals, plants, the planet...

surf, that's exactly what i think. and i am asking right here for people that believe otherwise, that think there is some EXTERNAL measure of whether something is 'right' or 'wrong', 'good' or 'bad', to please explain why, and support their position. optional has tried to, but it's obvious...

oh yeah. do you happen to have any examples of these "objective laws" (regarding murder) that AREN'T based on society's SUBJECTIVE feelings? i'd LOVE to see them...
