Ever? I live in Florida now. No state income tax. But there is an "intangeable tax" in Florida. Very creative! But I did not always live here. I don't get a pass on state tax. I pay, and will pay state income tax in N.Y. until 2017. No matter where I live. Death and taxes Max...

I agree that Alfonso is straight and honest in his posts. So it is doubtful he rigged the extra few votes. Some votes obviously don't need rigging. Harry's posts are obviously not understood by us mortals. Or maybe we aren't so dumb after all, and all Harry's rambling is a joke on us. It...

60%? Where do you live? I agree with much of what you say, and disagree with about an equal amount. If you believe in regressive taxation, we will never agree on that. If you think the government wastes money, we will always agree on that. The only place I can imagine you living in the...

Alfonso should not be permitted to explain anything until he explains his Abraham Lincoln quote first. (Alleged quote). And if indeed the quote is accurate, then he should tell us why he uses it on his signature. What is the point? More interesting to me than Harry's charts. Peace, RS

Seems like even Harrytrader doesn't understand his charts. If he did, it would seem possible that he could make the rest of us understand them as well. Or even one or two of us. So far, it seems he's getting through to no one. And using a lot of words to do it. Even assuming that there is...

Socialism and Communism are not the same ideologies. Throw in the word Democracy, and you get endless possibilities. But they are just words. Nazi Germany was the National Socialist Party. Communist China is the Peoples Democratic Republic. Does socialized medicine, for example, or social...

While it makes sense to me to be open to trading both from the long and short sides depending on circumstances, the fact is, I know of successful traders that ONLY trade long, and others that ONLY trade short. Regardless of market trends. (Nothing goes straight up or straight down, so there are...

Wasn't even that long ago either. Amazing what hatred can accomplish so quickly. :( RS

True...I would decline taking any "prize" that had been given to Arafat. Just the thought of linking the term "Peace Prize" to the name "Arafat" makes the whole thing a worthless vehicle for recognition of anything worthwhile. And the truth is, the whole France to the Palestinians was not...

Logical solutions always require logical circumstances. :) Just as long as the indigenous French people keep records of their recipes, the whole transition should be pretty smooth. Most of the better French chefs are probably in NYC already. Charred goat sandwiches on croissants, and...

The perfect solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Since the Palestinians want a homeland and it doesn't seem that chopping Israel up even smaller than it already is, is a satisfactory solution, Let's give France to the Palestinians! The French have already stated that nothing is...

here's one that is claimed to be from the AP.

Or perhaps he should consult with a Psychophysicitician. Preferably one that does a little editing on the side. Peace, :)RS

I am pretty sure (though it's admittedly a guess) that this would be the case. In the old days (pre decimalization), I had an Instinet terminal on my desk. I could virtually always get a short off on a nasdaq stock, because I had the thing defaulted to float my offer a sixteenth above the bid. I...

Yes. Of course if I did not have the kind of buying power that would feed me well with a 20% return, then I might be tempted to swing for the fences. However, this is a factor that often gets overlooked by new traders. If I could make 20% in one day, I certainly would be happy. But if I...

I am with you on that. I too value my strategies in that they supports me nicely. I just don't think I do anything unique enough to separate me from the pack. I just sometimes get a little wound up when I read posts here by guys that claim they can and do make 5% a day. This is just so...

Bung, my brother. I have been using "Error 404" for just a short time. I am on vacation. So I figured I would use a different nom de plume until I start trading again. Which was supposed to not be until early July. But I am getting bored, so I may start to dabble again next week. At that...

Sorry you thought the advice was terrible. Maybe I did not make myself clear, and that was more the problem. Yeah, I agree that if there was some strategy that assured you of netting you 10k this month, you would jump on it. As would most of us. But the thing I was trying to express is that...

My son saw it last night. He said he thought the first one was the better movie, but the effects in the new one were better than in the original. Not surprising. I have my tickets for Saturday. :)RS

Thanks for the trivia Aphie. I was always misinformed. All these years I thought Rembrandt was his last name. I thought his first name was Steve. :)RS
