Not yet. I always wait a week or two before upgrading. I don't want to beta test for them.

Thanks for the response. I will look into getting on of those. I did a quick search and all of the websites that came up were Aus or Nz (in the first ~5 pages.) Is it an Aus thing? I had never heard of it before.

yes I can freeze stuff. I like cooking home cooked meals and such. I just don't have the time and energy to shop much more than that. I was thinking along the lines of home made bean salad for breakfast. craker and cheese for snack before and after lunch of piece of flank steak. Salad when...

I was wondering if any of the people advocating the small meal/many meal plan, had any recomendations on meals. I usually only make it to the store once a week, but would love some ideas that would keep for the whole week. Finding time tocook 6 meals a day just isn't in the books. Thanks for...

Never follow anyone else's rules. I violate about half of the rules put up there and I am profitable. Other peoples rules can only be suggestions until you decided that they work for you. Suggestion #1 trade as small as you can that you will still care about. Suggestion #2 (Works for...

You must not have been trading the ER2 very long. It seems as thick as it ever was to me. Hopefully some people will go trade something else. It was much more profitable a couple of years back.

I think everyone on both sides agrees with the first part. Everyone disagrees on how to do it. If there was one right way that was proven over and over, every country in the world would be doing and then we could all be rich.

I understand that the IRS won't see the money. He is playing by the rules that exist today. And saying that we should change the rules. That the federal government is inefficeint was never the question. Last and not least. He would NEVER have to pay taxes on that money. Whomever...

Please enlighten me on how charitable giving is dodging taxes. Should we tax charitable giving? What are you saying?

So giving to charity is dodging a tax? That means that the inheritance tax is completely voluntary and there would no need to abolish it correct? There are good things and bad things about anyone but at least make sense if you are going to complain.

Clearing fees always apply. There is no way to reduce the fees "on the cheap." Leasing gets them down quite a bit. Buying gets them down even more. It is either worth doing or not. It think you were referring to the mini cap when you talked about daily membership fees. That is charge...

this guy has a nice comparision in inflation numbers http://www.shadowstats.com/cgi-bin/sgs?

I never actually worked for them. Not a huge fan of their management.

Not your connection

Sure if you take the arguement to an extreme. Nobody is advacating a 99% tax level. At resonable levels, you get back to the question wether the substitution effect that you like, or the income effect prevails. As you said the evidence is pretty inconclusive.

Not sure which example you are talking about. You seem to switch from trying to talk about analysis to examples whenver it suits you. Again you framed the question with only two options. The third, consumption. You need a demand for IT before it is worth investing in. If the demand...

I agree that nobody knows the optimal tax structure. It even could change with how developed a country is. "Outconsuming" isn't the point. The marginal propensity to consume is. If I was given $1000, that wouldn't change my behavior. If you gave a family making $25,000 a year, a fair...

I'm not up on the Econ theories as much as I should be, but I don't remember much in the way of progressive/regressive tax analysis. Most of it had to do with overall tax rates. I agree that everyone looks at the impacts of taxation when looking at investment. But in itself, that doesn't...

First, I always thought that interest rates were a much larger component in the save vs invest question. Second, what you are talking about seems to be the "substitution effect." Greater tax rates incourage less work/taxes because other activities give greater utilization. But you are...

First of all our health care is not a free market. Patents introduce artificial barriers to entry, creating monopolies that drive up prices. ( I understand there is a point for patents. Not arguing that, but that doesn't change that they create an inefficient market.) Both sides have...
