Small homogeneous populations with oil money are no model for the United States. You can do weird things when you are Norway, like pretend everyone is really equal and social equality is really some kind of workable good idea. Wait another 30 years when Sweden has a very large and...

America was never an empire, just a cop. It is time though to stop patrolling for everyone else. In any event it is not foreign affairs or the military messing us up, it's all the shit on the inside. If you read history much (it obvious that some of you don't), you will realize that we have...

yeah kill it, I trade 20 year charts and I can't stand it when these frequent traders like crgarcia make bogus claims of profitability.

I am still the student and not the professor, but I'll share a few of my own conclusions about markets. Market understanding will not make you a trader, but market misunderstanding will hinder you. 1) I think one of the most difficult things for some to accept is that markets are not...

I can't imagine the cognitive clusterfrack of some newbie trying to take jack seriously. They would become fully differentiated drinkers.

While you're at giving him new real time experiences, maybe you should let him watch you make it with your woman.

I disagree, if you pay close attention you can vicariously live other's mistakes and learn a little. I like watching all the Ganns, SCTs, etc. trip over their own balls.

the lie here is that you care about physics

Now that's rich, a conspiracy quack pretending evidence matters. http://www.debunking911.com/pull.htm but really, you jackwagon, it's more about your personal agenda than anything else and it's plain that you're a dude with issues

So let me get this straight- some new guy finds ET and browses for a night. He then decides that we are, among other things, too opinionated. Therefore he decides he must leave his opinion. Folks we just lost a real gem there, let's clean up our game.

no need really, quackery is its own rebuttal

Of course you can say it, but it doesn't make it so. If slavery was vital, then why was the unslaved north prosperous and why did the US achieve most of its economic progress after 1865? It's fashionable to think like you, but it's quite specious reasoning. Cotton pickers of 1850 have...

I'm calling bullshit on that one, given all the pension fund ownership, that 50% of households owned stock in 2000, and that mutual funds are owned by more than 1% of folks. This very liberal piece says that the top 20% own 93% of financial assets, which seems about right...

just love it when the unproductive call out America on what's wrong.... people like this are the problem Working and running a business is too boring eh? I doubt you are a successul person, you have no class or maturity. You are a boorish turd.

No question that there is too much unproductive activity. America seems like that game show where people stand in a booth with money flying around, and they have 2 minutes to grab all they can. I am not making your distinction though, my distinction is between services and information (better...

Services are exchanged for money, skills cannot be exchanged. Skills are acquired by personal effort. Skilled services can command very high prices. Knowledge however can definitely be wealth, I disagree. If I invent and posses a chemical formula that cures heart disease, other people will...

With skills I guess I agree, it is the actual performance that is paid for. As a former high school farm boy, I find it it is hard to call singing a song or playing a baseball game 'labor'. Acquisition of knowledge and knowledge itself can be wealth. People will pay for a trading idea, a...

Good article except he is missing a few things, since he focusses on physical items, such as the wealth encapsulated by a skill. If you are a surgeon, people will pay you big money for your service. The knowledge and skill you have, and your performances, is wealth. Knowledge and skill can be...

Wealth is not work, Marx thought that and he was wrong. For example, gold does have any 'work in it', and while breaking rocks takes a lot of work hardly anyone will pay you much for it. Wealth is not absolute or fixed either, it is simply what you and other humans happen to think (value) at...
