the only thing more annoying than a socialist who's asking for the government to bail out idiots who bought homes they couldn't afford, is someone who asks himself questions then answers them himself.

none of these stories will ever succeed that of legendary lorena bobbit. her's is one of folklore. she even has a verb named after her: bobbitize: (v) to cut off a penis

its too simplistic to say "field goals are a bad idea" or what have you. it all depends on the situation. if you have a great defense and shitty offense and the game is close, you'd be stupid to go for it on 4th and 2 on the 15. kick the FG and let your defense win the game. if the game is...

with the problems getting mortgages now, it appears that rentals should perform well. during the past few years it was often cheaper to buy than rent, and with the easy credit, almost anyone could buy a house. but now a certain set of the population won't be able to buy anymore. add to that...

sounds like you don't have portfolio margin. the margin on that trade would be a tiny fraction of $1.4m. anyone trading options without pm is a small-time trader and should not tell others that they have no idea what they're talking about.

everyday there's news of another 1000+ layoffs (mainly in the real-estate sector, which includes mortgage lenders). that doesn't sound like bearish sentiment has faded, it sounds like a recession is coming.

a crash... really? how much did you bet on this crash?

ya know, when hedge funds go bust because the market dropped 9% in a month (and the market is barely down ytd), you know the fund managers arent qualified for shit to invest money. i read these articles with much delight.

that's right, if we all eat sugar we're gonna die. do you know what "sugar" is? it's found in fruits and vegetables. your post is stupid.

50% OP's fault, 50% broker's fault. ib should not make changes to margin requirements without adequate notification. this is a pattern with ib, as i've seen others complain about this behavior in other threads, and not just the recent thread from a couple of days ago. tread carefully

which fund are you talking about? or are you just blindly reading some idiot journalist's story? in the past 30 yrs i've only heard of one mmf that ever went below $1 nav.

oh it's the "im-a-victim-of-genetics" excuse. how convenient. i've met a number of immigrants, mostly from asia, who were thin when they came to the usa. most experienced the same thing: they gained weight within a few months of being here. did their genetics change when they stepped onto...

last week i had to fly somewhere and lucky me got seated next to a 300 pound lardass. his elbow was in my ribcage for the 2 hour flight. now i must vent. i hate fat people. why cant people realize that their lack of willpower causes many problems for other individuals and society. if these...

yes it is a stupid question. what does being a student have to do with it? all your broker should care about is your age and account size. i know a student who's 26 and was able to open an account. now do you see how your question is stupid?

i do talk shit in real life. why, just the other day some old woman in front of me was walking really slow and i told her to get the f* out of my way before i slap her with her own cane

when you've gone from poor to rich, especially in a tough field like this, you have a right to be a bit on the cocky side. i used to earn $30k/yr out of college and now make 35k to 40k per month trading. does it give me a big ego sometimes? yeah and i'm not afraid to admit it. so what? i...

so according to you, an 8.5% drop in 1 month is a crash??? sounds like you don't know what a crash really is.

LOL @ all the fat internet tough guys here!! i have the impression most guys on et are 75 pounds overweight and can't lift anything besides their remote. so first, it's not like you'd even be with a woman attractive enough to receive cat calls. and even if you were, you gonna pull out your...

it's just the market getting rid of excess. too many builders, not enough buyers.
