    Only way to fix EURO is take Greece out!

    Parts of Cali are being repatriated by Mexicans. Certainly at some point it will be common sense to return the mexican-populated areas to mexico. As for the Euro: How long will the Germans be willing to play patsy? They need to cut the Parasites lose and let them inflate their way out of...

    Yes this is absolutely Obama's plan for the USA: A Huge voter base of parasites. "who pays" are those who do not make their living off some form of political patronage, ie, those in market economy, which is what the statist economy leaches off of.

    ATM dispenses GOLD now instead of cash

    very true. Gold is just a total fad. Has been a total fad for thousands of years. So unlike fiat currencies managed by politicians and bureaucrats and politicians. Now there is a commodity with enduring value! Just ask the Ghosts of every civilization in history! Heck, ask how they...

    We are rich!!!

    not to beat a dead horse (though in this case it is amusing) however, "...never gone to school or been tutored/educated, never learned to read & write, or do basic maths. It would probably be a lot lower" All these things you mention have to be invented before they can be taught. Asian...

    We are rich!!!

    I suggest that you review the twin-adoption studies. Adopted children have an IQ that is far closer to their genetic counterpart than to their adoptive families. The evidence in my opinion is conclusive. I never said and do not believe racial difference in IQ is 100% genetic. However I...

    We are rich!!!

    Check the facts zanek. I challenge you to find an IQ test that does not show races differ in intelligence. 100 years of results a sample size of millions upon millions does not lie. Regardless of the cause (I do believe it is genetic, but it does not really matter) a people with an IQ of...

    We are rich!!!

    Neat site, but some unfortunate leftist propaganda as well. Giving to Haiti/Africa? The bottom line is a people with an average IQ of about 70 will NEVER have a standard of living that comes close to East Asians and Europeans. The best thing we could do for the various African-populated...

    Spiralling Outta Control... Democrats Seek Millionaire Tax Surcharge

    it is coming down to Federal government employees, those who work in protected work cartels, and crony businessmen vs. the rest of society. ie, those who on net benefit from big government, vs those who have to pay for it. Lately, the beneficiaries have been winning the war. What...

    How much capital do you typically need as a trader to live on your own?

    I would say if you have a small to moderate account, you need to make sure that the horse is in front of the cart. Don't let the "trading for a living" bug guide you into a situation that is almost a guaranteed-fail situation. By that I mean, I think the best bet is to focus on producing...

    How did the market rally back so quickly on May 6?

    1 trillion did not really need to be taken out or "put back in" for the market to fluctuate 1 trillion in market value. Price is determined by the marginal buyer/marginal seller. If there are no buyers in a security, even a relatively small dollar value of orders can drive market values way...

    What would you do with your Carry trade?

    Timing is critical. So is trading at a size that allows for fast maneuvering. Resumption of the trend after a spike down is often a good time to enter. If it fails stop out and try again. You want to jump on without taking too much heat, which often happens after a bunch of other carry...

    PUT options liquidated at worst possible prices

    Rodney, what broker would you suggest? Not everyone swings as big a line as you do. Not being facetious here. Only solution I know that works is low(er) leverage and small positions relative to market volume.

    A number of High Frequeny Firms Stopped Trading...

    I would not be shocked if this was engineered by wall street in order to encourage more trading regulations. The wall street firms hate the way square, midwest shops like Tradebot have taken away a big component of their gravy train. Now, it seems their primary feast comes from Bubble Ben's...

    Iran (Not Israel) offers to help clean up Oil Spill

    Emilia Let me guess: you are also one of those nuts who believes that just because the "gassing" building at Auschwitz is a re-creation, that forensic evidence proves no high levels of the toxic gas was ever present, The gas cans they do have were filled with a delousing agent used in a...

    Interactive brokers: Stop-Limit order errors? (futures)

    Just to update on this: One part of the problem is solved: the 1.43 vs. .43 issue when entering stop limit orders was due to a default setting in the software that I was unaware of. Apparently, the default was to put the stop 1 point away from the current price, and that seemed to be causing...

    Interactive brokers: Stop-Limit order errors? (futures)

    I have been a happy IB customer for 5+ years. I recently started using stop-limit orders and would like to make more use of them. I am noticing that it appears there is an error when you attempt to create such an order using the order ticket. For example: When u enter a ZB order, there is...
