Wheaties he won't respond with anything remotely resembling an original thought. In his defense he doesn't have any. I'm sure he will either copy and paste a re-tort. Or say you obviously don't get it and therefore there is no reason to respond. I wish we could draft someone on DP's...

I want to see if you are willing to put your money where mouth is. Thanks for making my point.

And how many have you hired?

The low end labor market is like a put option or insurance policy. Most of the time they are spinning their wheels doing nothing. But on those rare occasions when something is needed and quickly, the payoff is there. I use to work in a restaurant out of high school and got to know the...

Very few do DP. That wasn't always the case. But today we have two extremes, the people at the top who are smart, are smarter then they have ever been. And the people at the bottom, well, let me put it this way. If I could hire the avg min wage earner from the 1950's today, I would take...

Actually they have. Just not at the bottom. And the reason for that is because at the bottom, value is not being added and probably truthfully can't be added. Tell me how much the avg employee makes at Google or AAPL. What about petroleum engineers. What about data scientists? Any kid...

DP, I hate to break this to you, but wages HAVE to go up in proportion to value added. You can't "artificially" raise them. Think about how you go about deciding your day to day purchases. Say you go to the grocery store to buy some milk. You notice that next to the gallon of milk you...

Yeah these theories are all nice and fuzzy and warm except they don't work. Even liberals that run corporations don't support it. Funny how that works. I always like to say when people bring these ideas up, why don't we start with "you". Why don't "you" start a company, hire workers...

It depends which market you are talking about. If it's the S&P 500, usually I see a breakdown in the number lines of the individual names first before I see a breakdown in the index value itself. This makes sense intuitively because as you get near a top, it's usually the higher market cap...

Anubis, you are spot on with your cause and effect relationship regarding wages and the demand for labor. As someone who has studied economics (doubt DP has), we know that by raising minimum wages and the cost of labor on one particular cost curve, you cause all the other cost curves to shift...

I would never stop scoring JAZZ. Sure, after a stock loses interest from the fast money crowd and moves on, that's often when you can find some nice edge and beat the crowd back in. There are some stocks where the crowd never leaves no matter how bad the price action is.

How I score number lines won't help you. Just as how you score yours won't help me. Scoring is based on how well you read the markets. I happen to think I read markets very well and my scoring reflects that. But you have to take what's in Fisher's book as a baseline and tweek it from...

Seriously it's a very long response. I have tons of theories on it but it will take this thread way off topic. This is not a black and white answer (no pun intended). See, in your world, everything is so simple. Whites hate blacks. And that apparently explains everything to you. Not to...

Well, that derserves it's own thread as you and I both know it's a very complicated answer and one that does not deserve a one sentence or one paragraph response. But I provided a fact and back it up with a source and tied that fact into the thread. I'm shooting par down here. You're a few...

It's called a fact. LOL. I know, to you at first glance it causes shock since you deal in tall stories and creative writing. I was giving you an example of how you should back up and defend your BS threads. But to tie that "fact" in with this thread, that 54% graduation rate "explains" in...

ScalperJoe is correct. You cannot comingle outside investor money in a prop account. Furthermore even if you could, you would be exposing your investor to 100% loss of capital if the prop firm blew up as that account is not insured. Regarding the friends and family account at IB, they are...

No, the problem is you started this thread with no facts in hand. The paranoia is you and all your friends on the left that think EVERYTHING has to do with race when in reality, almost nothing in this country has to deal with race. Now money? Sure, I'll buy that. Physical attractiveness...

No DP, I want you to show me some integrity. Borrow some from your family if you have to, but bring that to the table. I want you to show me an example that is a recurring problem. Saying I know a guy that screamed "Nigger" in the Walmart parking lot last night is NOT an example of rampant...

It would NOT be "anecdotal" if you could prove this was happening over and over again. Remember "epidemic"? For example DP, let's take an alcoholic. If I see a friend of mine have a few too many drinks one night, I might ask him about it, I might not. Maybe he had a tough week. Maybe he...

That article is completely flawed. Let's start with the school example, a white kid did this and nothing happened to them and the black kid did that and he got punished. This reminds me of the story I hear when a white guy gets pulled over and has weed in his car, they let him go. When the...
