The only thing that I agree with you on is the part about politicians pretending they are actually doing something. The republicans are not doing any more to help the working class than the Democrats are to hurt it or vise versa. The package is just more smoke and mirrors to keep the...

This is just an observation from my past, and may or may not apply to you. What is the chance that you don't have a solid method for what you are going to trade nailed down? I used to look at tons of stuff, keep zillions of watch lists, read read read, but the real problem was my...

I am sure that many of you have heard about the Nigerian Scam that goes around. I would be willing to bet that more than one person will be getting an email offering a substantial reward for helping Qusay exchange this currency.

Here is an interesting scenario. FAVS declared a special dividend of about $1 per share a few months back. Not too coincidentally the stock also traded at a 52 week high right after that. It has since dropped over $3 per share. So get the news first and you can slop the piggys..

It is going to be around 3. But the stock will drop by the corresponding amount of the dividend. So you will need to compensate for the Div. OTCM is one that I own. It pays about .25 per quarter, it went X on March 11 and paid the div around the 23rd. The price just climbed back above the...

I was wondering if someone was going to address this, good thread Babak. I have been feeling more and more cautious, even if it is hard on days like this. One thing I have been wondering is if the SSFs are having an impact on the VIX. The Put Call Ratio is not showing a terrible amount of...

There was an article in one of last week's WSJ about Oregon and the assisted suicide law. It is one of the few (perhaps) only states to allow doctor assisted suicide. The number of prescriptions written has increased since the law was passed, but it was not huge. Something like 25 to 50, and...

I would suggest you spend a little time working with the homeless or mentally disturbed individuals. You will find in many if not all cases a Trigger Event like sexual abuse has taken away any CHOICE or CHANCE as you would call it. Sure there are exceptions, but most people are not that...

I am not making a miserable childhood the case for abortion. I am making miserable childhood the case for life not truly being precious as people would like you to believe. You are right in Africa there is a 25% chance a child will not see it's 5th birthday. In Asia there are over...

It would seem to me that if a women delivers a baby and walks away the baby will die. In fact, it would be my best guess that it would take the average child until about age 4 where he or she would have the thought process necessary to take care of themselves on the most rudimentary level. And...
