:D You hit the nail on the head.

Dear NihabaAshi, I WAS sharing the strategies - via pointing to a book :) I didn't even think for a second it would be a problem for anyone to locate the book if need be. And no that's not what the problem was for them - they simply wanted a ready-to-use thing, which nothing is in life. In...

Who said I returned? I merely stepped in for a second to bring a useful resource to those who were interested and wanted a worthy book to read over the holidays. As for the extended leave, I was about to do just that. And having read some of the recent threads, I think I'll be missed a lot...

You'd be surprised! :D Strangely enough, I felt more free there. Almost any rule can be "bent" if you know how and is negotiable if you know who to negotiate with. Here the gov't is quite paternalistic I must say. You have plenty of "significant freedoms" like freedom of speach etc. But...

First of all, if you post my reply, you might as well post the insult I was replying to - namely, someone who others (moderators by the way) agreed was a troll and needed to be on my ignore list, insulting me by saying I posted only to brag about some silly reference and belittleing the...

That BS was totally uncalled-for. If you don't see any of my contributions, then you must have spent all your time reading Mr.Markets threads. PS If you agree that closing a thread that has useful info is professional, then I'm not sure how they select moderators here. PPS Doctored my a$$...

Leave the commies alone! :D Check out easyguru's moderating skills and you'll see who's the one removing all he/she doesn't like at his whim. The censors in the USSR at least had to consult with others.... Land of the free my a$$, I've lived in 4 countries and feel the most controlled in...

I'm not sure whether something happened to ET in general, or whether it's just the "Resources" forum I never posted to earlier, but it sure is being moderated in a very "special" kind of way. I started a thread a couple of weeks ago, it seemed to be contributing to the discussion (admittedly...

What happened to that "Beyond random walk" book thread I started a while ago? Seems like it vanished into thin air. Not that I particularly feel attached to it or anything, but I keep getting PM'ed by people looking for that thread. Was there something said that was inappropriate? Weird...

That's the definition of a smart card. They are used all over in Europe and have been for some time. The US hasn't picked up on it yet b/c banks have to invest into new infrastructure (like the card readers etc.)

Now you are contradicting yourself. i thought you said above the benefit was that the card had the info stored locally, so the vendor didn't have to have an agrement with the card issuer. Unless I misunderstood you.

Mastercard had a similar system way before paypall - you could send money via email. The either abandons it or downplayed it since. Could be b/c there wasn't enough $ to be made there.

You'd be surprised. It does add up. I've heard the same story over and over but I think it probably applies less if at all to the younger generations. For me it's just the opposite. Once I use the ATM for a withdrawal, the money is out my my "system" and becomes pocket change. I treat...

See, my different strokes comment was very applicable. I'm the EXACT opposite way. I like to be as close to the asphalt as possible. Even the firebird has too much ground clearance for me :D I was thinking of getting a Vett instead precisely b/c it's closer to the ground. I don't like the...

Like what? I assume you meant the perils of managing debt some people can't handle. That's what debit cards are for. And if you have one from a credit union that draws upon the savings account, at least you earn some (albeit pathetic) interest on the $ while you don't use it.

I agree they will be issued. Along with smart cards currently more popular in Europe than the US. The reason they will be is b/c there will be demand. The people behind that demand will be the least financially educated segment though. Those who don't get the time value of money. PS you...

:D Vipers and Vetts are overpriced too. But performance-wise, I'd rather pick some overpriced Italian slug. Can't afford the Lamborgini yet, so have to settle for German-made in the mean time. Did have an Alfa Romeo for a few years. The firebird pales in comparison performance-wise (maybe...
