    False! When are you going to seek someone to teach you (and of course stop trying to teach others)? You do not have a sense of shame (you do not know how to calculate probs, you do not distinguish between touch and expiration probs, you do not understand equivalencies, etc...)

    If Jews would

    You just explained why Palestinians will win, and Israel will lose. First a precision in your arguments. Nazis, Romans, etc, as ideologies they disappeared, but as people they are still here: They are known as Germans and Italians today. How does this relates to Israel and Palestine? Zionism...

    Taking 320K to 3.5million by Year End 2009

    If you would have known at around 10AM and after, that the stock would touch 118 at least, would that information help you in your trading (entry, etc)? I am asking because your concerns seem to have been the pull back to reduce the down side, while what I am providing here is the upside level.

    Need serious advice

    Sorry I did not visit this thread. It would take me more time to elaborate, so I thought to give something now instead of waiting for the time to elaborate. If I am to like to lend, and I am familiar with real things like your friend seems to, I would consider the followin: I would for...

    Can anyone recommend a good options book

    LOL! Apparently he wrote another book in which he advised to hold stocks for the long time, right at the market top! Then he moved to something else.

    I disagree with you Satan. Arabs and muslim deposit their monies in the USA (rightly so). So nothing is lost, but there are gains. In addition if USA sends money, the wealthy will feel more confident to send more money to the USA and would be under less pressure by their folks there to send...

    I disagree. The reason why they issue preferred is when they cannot get funds from selling common or getting loans. Banks did it with sovereign funds last year. PS: If you want your dividend on a growth there is a simpler way. Write OTM calls.

    I would not be surprised if you happen to be a zionist who may have even taken part in the army that committed war crimes against Pals, and crimes against humanity (Goldstone Report). So are you here to do propaganda and hate work, so that the West and East do not become friends? Let...

    "Maybe they plan to computerize suicide bomb belts.": Did I not suggest to you to stay away from Satan at least for 24 hours? Obama's initiative is a good one. He should increase the funds. The USA gives to a small Israel more that it gives to the rest of the whole world combined. With...

    Investing Catechism

    I was thinking that you understood, but from your post above, I am starting to think that you do not. Only a handfull of stocks in a 100 would ever pay dividend in the future (look at the graveyard of stocks). If you take a chart that started at non-zero point (IPO price) add commissions, and...

    I believe you, and glad that you are safe. Thanks for answering. My assessment is that among growth stocks, at best a handful among a 100 would pay dividends in the future, which would make the rest of the stocks a ponzi scheme in hindsight. So finding the one that will ultimately pay...

    No one asked whether Nitro is short AMZN prior to earnings or another similar stock that does not pay dividends? Maybe Nitro is pissed off? :p PS: Nitro: you did not answer my point about DRIPS. I also noticed that you have finally answered the point of future dividends I raised earlier by...

    Investing Catechism

    There is a contradiction in your thinking. Here is how to probably see it. If every investor were to elect DRIP on all their investments, what do you get? a stock that does not give dividends. Worse, you even lose if you pay taxes on the dividends. So according to your argument against non...

    No problem my friend. Nothing to be sorry about. I hold no grudge at all. Enjoy your weekend! Fulcrum: I extend to you my hand, and I say hello if you want to shake my hand. I hope that you do not view debate as enmity. In any case, have a good weekend as well.

    Investing Catechism

    I just read this, and the dividend point I raised in previous point is now at heart of your question. You would agree that zero coupon bond with higher cash flows (everything else equal) is more expensive than one with lower cash flows. So assuming that AMZN will pay dividends in the...

    Investing Catechism

    You are lacking the notion of time in your definition of dividend. You seem to refer to dividend as dividend at current time. There are also future dividends. The market as whole is saying there would be some future dividends, but I think they are overpriced as always (both in the amounts and...

    You are wrong. The owners of the company are the first short sellers. If they sell their stocks, why should I buy it? Ask them they will say, we are cashing out. If you remove the dividend stocks, I will not be surprised that you will see stock go up, and heading back BELOW their initial...

    AMZN, close to 30% in Day? When Down?

    Very good point! Also it is all time high, so no losers so far on long side. I still think it will come back down soon. In the after hours session of yesterday it traded at 107. I am surprised it opened higher.

    God This Friday

    My friend: Could I asked you a question ? Since you mention idolatry inn there as a serious sin, how could you reconcile and idolatry and believing in Jesus the man as God (and John/etc are his prophets)? It seems to me that believing in a human being as God is a very serious form of...
