    What was that about?

    Yes, let's stick our heads up our asses so we can act all surprised when the shit hits the fan. Hillary fucking Clinton brought up the assassination issue. She basically said hey, I don't want to drop out, someone might shoot Obama just like RFK! Personally, I think that the Hillary...

    How can Obama avoid assassination?

    A few people keep saying "well then, why isn't Bush dead yet..." Answer: The left-wing nuts in this country don't like guns nearly as much as the right-wing nuts. Also, as someone else noted, Cheney is a lot scarier than Biden. As for the people still saying that the radical right lacks the...

    How can Obama avoid assassination?

    It's not a matter of the Secret Service's efforts; it's a matter of determination. This is an important concept here... it's why the war on terrorism is such a joke. You cannot prevent a determined and halfway competent individual from building a bomb, period. It takes a more determined...

    How can Obama avoid assassination?

    Well, let's pretend for a moment that Obama can get elected. I'm not convinced it's going to happen (I still predict that the radical right will bring out millions of voters that slipped under the pollsters' radars), but given McCain's Hail Mary VP pick, Obama's attack ads casting McCain as an...

    Trading needs the same "revolution" that martial arts went through 15 years ago

    Exactly. In the real world, if you're jumped by someone in a dark alley the LAST thing you want to do is go rolling around on the ground with 'em. What if he has a knife, what if the ground is covered in broken bottles or other debris, what if there is more than one assailant? This isn't...

    Why is this about short sellers? Shouldn't it be about creditors?

    So, correct me if I'm wrong here: In a idealized vacuum, a company's stock price doesn't change anything. The price could double or triple or drop to pennies and its current assets, liabilies, and owner's equity would remain the same. Fundamentally speaking, stock price isn't a cause of...

    Guys relax, US takes in 2.7 trillion a year in taxes

    Banning guns would be catastrophic. Don't get me wrong, gun bans CAN work to an extent (though I am morally opposed to them), but you have to understand just how saturated we are. There are probably well over a billion guns in this country, most of which do not have a paper trail. A gun ban...

    When will the US be downgraded????

    What's your point? Rome didn't starve to death... In fact, I do believe they are the ones that invented the phrase "bread and circuses".

    There is no such thing as price action.

    1. What raw data? You mean bars? Hate to break it to you, but bars are aggregated data--they are, in effect, a very basic form of indicator. 2. At some point, either a human or a machine has to translate that supposedly "raw, unfiltered" data into one of three courses of action: enter a...

    There is no such thing as price action.

    I didn't realize so many people around here were so dense... or perhaps they just don't bother to read anything other than the thread title. I wish I could edit the title of the post to read " 'Price action' is a meaningless phrase." OF COURSE the price changes, and you can term this change...

    There is no such thing as price action.

    There's another extremely misleading term right there... there is no such thing as "current." All data is old. You might argue that data which is only two seconds old is more important than data that is two days old, and you're right... for a scalper. What about for an investor, swing trader...

    There is no such thing as price action.

    I didn't say all indicators are lagging. I said that all indicators are based on past price data. Badly designed indicators will frequently lag. Well designed indicators will give you enough time to enter your position. The point is there is no fundamental difference between the two...

    There is no such thing as price action.

    Guys around here would have you believe that price action is the only "leading" indicator whereas the rest are "lagging" indicators. The problem is, there really isn't any such thing as price action. Took me far too long to figure this out, but I've finally realized that "price action" is at...

    Right now, Democrats spend less than Republicans

    Let it be known that I am most certainly for smaller government and anti-welfare. However... McCain's attack ads keep calling Obama out as a tax and spend liberal, and people around here keep equating Obama with excess spending and big government. I'm baffled. The military is part of the...

    The market is not random, but TA does not work

    Errr, that's a very odd definition of "theory". The rest of the world defines a scientific theory is something that can ONLY be supported or disproven, never proven. If something can't be disproven (i.e. is not "falsifiable") then it is not a theory.

    The Swiss mini gun

    A few notes on stopping power: Also worth noting they want roughly ~$7000 for the things and $10/round for the ammo. They also have a godawful gold and diamond version that looks like shit, but apparently comes with a rocket launcher attachment that launches "luminous rockets".

    Cheap Products vs. High Wages... Americans Want BOTH!

    Please tell me you are joking. I thought Japan had buried this retarded line of thought (primarily with cars and electronics) long ago. In case you missed the 80s and 90s: 1. NonAmerican quality is often lower, but the quality is almost never proportionally lower. In your example...

    Cheap Products vs. High Wages... Americans Want BOTH!

    A true economist realizes that boycotting is essentially useless. The producers of the world cannot be made transformed by consumer boycotting--there is FAR too much incentive "cheat", on the side of both the consumer and the producer. This is especially true in times of economic hardships, when...

    Save those birds!

    Fuck the birds. Wind is the best we've got (though solar may *some day* be better...). It's time people dropped the goddamned political labels already. I'm interested in reducing air pollution and global warming, and decreasing dependence on coal/oil... but that doesn't mean I have to...
