as a further insult, I believe that the capital loss carryforward vanishes when the individual dies. a tax debt, on the other hand...

The Palladium Paradox By David Weinberger October 25, 2002 Why we have everything to fear about the next operating system out of Redmond. When Microsoft announced its entry into the “trusted computing” arena in June, the requisite witticism within the IT industry was that putting...

second that.

How was it hacked? Who hacked it, and why?

that's why there's a difference between a margin acct and a cash acct. if you find a broker that doesn't follow the settlement rules please let us know.

Goldwater was before my time :) you may be right about the funding of the Yugoslavia operations, especially via funding of the UN - my knowledge on that tragedy is poor. and I agree that the U.S. is criticised no matter what it does - but that's due at least in part to it being decidedly...

I thought Yugoslavia was an example of the U.S. *not* getting involved (ostensibly because there was no profit motive in helping those particular people) - what did the U.S. do there outside of clinton's throwing in a few last minute bombs? Do you really think the U.S. avoided nukes in Korea...

excellent point. not only an 'appearance of no concern,' but downright dismissive. that's one that should be given some thought.

for me, 'investor' activity tries to participate in the appreciation in value of a business enterprise as it grows over time while 'trader' activity looks to capitalize on the inefficiencies inherent in valuing the enterprise, and on the ignorance of other traders attempting the same but I...

No, not really. Thanks for sharing your insight.

:cool: best of luck to you.

true - I can't remember if it was on this forum or not, but someone made an interesting comparison between modern Islamic Fundamentalism and the Catholicism of the Dark Ages: resistance to change, fear of science/technology, supression of women, etc. - as well as the obvious societal effects...

Are you saying that there is no motive for the terrorism?

Of course! The clear solution to any threat is to cede freedom to the government. Now that a different regulation is in place, there is no doubt that the serial murderer committing these atrocities will see the value in obeying the law and will mend his ways. (Right? :confused: ) And it...

you could, but the computing power and equipment are still too large and expensive to be practical for something like a lawnmower. there has been progress with this idea for larger applications, like aircraft engines and heavy industry (possibly in the auto field?). but in 10 yrs, who knows...?

Ron - one of the victories of the current administration/media effort has to equate dissent and debate with anti-Americanism and treason. analysis and criticism of political leaders and policies, and protesting with the goal of improving them, is highly patriotic and perfectly "American"...

Agreed. But if the U.S. were willing to do adopt substantially new long-term postures, all of this would be moot. This entire discussion relies on the assumption that the policies that underlie the global hatred of the U.S. will not be changed, and that the best that can be done is to...

[in reference to those in power having done a cost/benefit analysis] Because, imo, implicit in most cost/benefit analyses performed by politicians and those in power is that they are designed to compute a benefit to THEMSELVES, and a cost to OTHERS (i.e., you and I). The list of examples is...

Great stuff! Thanks Gordon
