Wow, you should be embarassed to miss his point this dreadfully. He said chaos is "what made the US so great. And what is destroying it. The intervention because of the fear of this chaos is destroying the evolution of our society." That is directly in line with your views.

This post is dead on. The problem is it takes a lot of intuition/knowledge to grasp this, so it is regularly overlooked. For more on this, read: Chaos and Order in the Capital Markets: A New View of Cycles, Prices, and Market Volatility

Thank you. This is pretty helpful. The conundrum is that if I get more concrete I get a bunch of replies on German tax laws. And less concrete; replies that every situation is different. Basically, what if a non-U.S. trader doesn't qualify as a resident anywhere? The OECD covers most of...

Thanks. From everything else I've read, residency is what matters for tax purposes in most cases (keep in mind I'm excluding U.S. citizens). So in my example, who would you report your income to if you didn't qualify as a resident anywhere? And if it's your country of legal citizenship, do...

These all have different requirements. For example: "To gain residency in Monaco you need to be able to commit yourself to live there for six months a year and as well as having a property deed to show the residency officials a bank certificate from one of Monaco’s banks showing a deposit...

Thanks. The German citizenship was just a hypothetical (substitute any citizenship except U.S. and N. Korea - who tax based on citizenship instead of residency). The example was more to illustrate a scenario where; if you don't really qualify as a resident anywhere, how is your situation...

I've tried searching for this online, but it seems like there is so much IRS info + language barriers that I can't find find a lot on tax residency (except for U.S. citizens or foreigners living in the U.S.). So here's the hypothetical question: If I traded U.S. stocks online, was a citizen...

This may be a dumb question but: When it is said that a country has no capital gains taxes - like Hong Kong, how does that work with trading (short-term cap gains)? For example the U.S. has a 0-15% capital gains tax (depending on tax bracket), but short-term cap gains are taxed at regular...

I haven't researched this issue a lot, but didn't Iran pretty much nab a few tourists that had wandered across the border (or at least got too close to the border) and then are trying to use them as nuclear program negotiation pawns. That does not sound like a border I'm ready to cross.

Who can even predict? Things have changed so much in the last two years, that 5-10 years out seems beyond imagination. At this rate, confiscation of 401ks might be around 50th on our list of worries by then.

For those with the giant monitor setups, is there a way to speed up the mouse above what Windows allows in the "Mouse Properties"? I'm going to be running on a TV and a couple monitors here pretty soon, and it seems like the mouse isn't going to be moving across the screen fast enough even on...

I've seen it before, but didn't mind seeing it again. The architecture looks like the ticket check in room at the airport.

I graduated from college with a degree in finance and found out that I didn't have a clue about the economy until I started reading blogs about 3 years after I graduated. The consumers are partially culpable, but they were also fed lies and misinformation and had their decisions willfully...

I've got a regular ATI Radeon that runs two and then bought an external(USB) monitor plug in. If you've got the money, it's worth getting one card that supports all your monitors though.

I might be interested in a setup like that. What do you use for a stand?

Yep, same here (just over arms length away). Wow, 28s for $250. Great deal!

We may never know because most of the people that write/report on it distort the facts with some sort of agenda. Given the fluidity of information these days, if there was any honesty in today's culture, we'd have a pretty good idea within a week as to how much fossil fuel is left.

I second that. Thanks.

IQ Feed is another option on par with eSignal.

Not that this doesn't apply to some of the other countries on your list, but the U.S. has borrowed gobs of money to keep the tax rates artificially "low".
