Of course they did. Most people are sheep, not used to thinking for themselves.

Hardly obscure. Al Brooks has written four trading books since 2009. According to his bio, he's a former MD (ergo "smart") who's been day trading for over a quarter century. His books are about price action and most technical traders here are PA traders. Hence the interest he's generated...

If he hasn't posted since the ban, how did you know he's back?

The expected value for Wednesday's drawing (assuming no taxes (UNREALISTIC) and no jackpot splitting (UNREALISTIC)) was $1.5B/ 292201338 + $1,000,000/ 11688053.52 + $50,000/ 913129.18 + $100/ 36525.17 + $100/ 14494.11 + $7/ 579.76 + $7/ 701.33 + $4/ 91.98 + $4/ 38.32 = $5.45 This...

I never said all lotto players are mathematically challenged. I said they are a tax on the mathematically challenged. All Lottos start deep in negative territory. So it takes a shipload of suckers like you to build them up to positive territory. :p

Means nothing. Cruz was naturalized at birth. That doesn't mean he was natural born. No law by Congress can settle this matter. Only the federal judiciary can settle this matter.

Harvard law scholar Lawrence Tribe disagrees. This is far from a settled matter. Also: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ted-cruz-is-not-eligible-to-be-president/2016/01/12/1484a7d0-b7af-11e5-99f3-184bc379b12d_story.html

OK, sorry for the misread. But Cruz is demonstrably ineligible. He was born on foreign soil, not a US state nor a US territory. Having one American parent makes him a naturalized citizen at birth, but that is legally different from a natural-born citizen.

Prove he's a Kenyan. No handwaving or other bullshit. PROVE IT!

Foreign-born Cruz will never be presiden of the US. Maybe he should run for PM of Canada. Cruz is an ineligible sociopath and all of his supporters are mouth-breathing imbeciles.

Welcome back, DB! :)

Depends on what the current jackpot is relative to the breakeven jackpot is. I never calc'd the bejp for powerball. I used to have a formula that told me exactly how many MegaMillions tickets to buy based on whatever the current jackpot was but that was several years and an old computer ago. :)

Only for the intelligent. People of your ilk are free to piss away your limited coin however you wish. No, just hard to believe. Unless you have a scientific survey showing otherwise, most people play the Lottos out of hope and/or desperation. Fuck fun, they want the money. Especially the...

Yes really. No call for vagueness like "not a bad risk" when we know the exact payouts for PowerBall. But almost nobody here knows how to calculate the breakeven jackpot. Then there are the issues of taxes (50%?) and the possibility that you may have to split the jackpot with another person or...

A lottery is a tax on the mathematically challenged.

All national governments interfere in their markets to some extent. That doesn't make them communists. PDT rule is 'nanny state' : "We're going to protect you from yourself". Just as stupid and wrong as alcohol prohibition. Most drinkers can hold their liquor. Most day traders don't bet...

Yes. ALL manipulated markets are bad. But the US has never done anything like shutting down the market just because of 5% drop. Commies think they can control everything. They are wrong.

Most manipulated "market" on earth. This is what happens when commies try (or pretend) to play capitalists.
