    Oh Oh, Might have to take a tax hit, got a HUGE profit thoughts?

    Do you have a source for that? I find it hard to believe that the irs would ever discourage you from giving them more money, but anything's possible when dealing with the government.

    Anti-semitic Emails

    This is false. Many discussions have been had regarding the appropriate level of censorship, and much ranting and raving has been absorbed by the admins no matter which course was taken.

    Weinstein Trading and Fading

    Robert - I'm sure you'll iron out your recent drawdowns, but I'll offer my advice for the interim: stop trading AIG. Whatever the reason, there appears to be some fundamental conflict between your trading system and the AIG price action now, and you run the risk of letting emotion dictate...

    You know Republicans really F**CKED UP WHEN

    Palin lost the election, period. If McCain had picked a reasonable, rational, photogenic running mate, he'd be president today.

    Bible cant be true because of million year old fossils/carbon dating...right?

    Regarding questions about the origin of energy and the universe, science currently has nothing to offer. Religion is as good a place to look as science, or better, for answers to those questions.

    Bible cant be true because of million year old fossils/carbon dating...right?

    First, you are generalizing to the extreme. Literal biblical interpretation is not the only alternative to atheism. Theism and evolution are not mutually exclusive. Second, the statement on archaeology is bizarre. Not only are you applying a childish generalization to an entire scientific...

    Japan wholesale prices fall record 8.5% yoy

    Wait, I'm confused. The median guess of 24 unnamed self-appointed "experts," whoever they are and picked by whoever else, assuming they exist at all, was 8.7. So that means this is good news? When some guy guesses something, it means bad news can become good news, right?

    Dr. needs to drink more vodka- THERE IS NO PLAN!!

    That assumes the goal would be to put everyone on a health plan. Putting everyone on medicaid would cut out the health insurance industry, and could cause a large reduction in fees collected by doctors and medical service providers.

    Bible cant be true because of million year old fossils/carbon dating...right?

    Do you honestly believe that the field of archaeology has not stumbled upon the possibility that fossils may be of a different age than the material they are located in? Can you really say something so stunningly stupid, with conviction? This is either comical or pathetic, or both. In any...

    fundamental value of stocks/elite trader's dumbest question

    In theory corporate ownership is divided up into shares with the value of each share being some part of the total value of the enterprise. If the enterprise value goes up, the value of each share should go up accordingly. The more shares you have the more voting power you have and the greater...

    GDP growth better than expected. Who says this rally is not deserved?

    Bite your tongue, Comrade. Our struggle may be hard, but Our Glorious Leader will always find a way to spend more money. Spending more money is the key to prosperity. Do you see how when He borrows money from the Chinese and gives it to you, or prints money out of thin air and gives it to...

    Suspend "Cash for Clunkers"?

    You're making my point - the powers that be wanted the scheme to continue, so they came out pronto with a full media blitz assuring they're going to save the program. Somebody yesterday was trying to send a message with an "anonymous source" leak, and it apparently worked. As far as...
