Did surf ever tell us what is margin to equity was? What fraction of his wealth is at risk in this trade? Not at all. We have know way to know if a few emini's would put him at risk of "blowing up". Also, so far as I can see he did not continually add to a loser. He reached a max...

Guyz he had a losing trade. Big F'ing deal?? Just part of the game, folks.

I have never listened to a rap song from start to finish. I do not know the lyrics to any rap songs. So I have no reason to ever say the word nigger. This is probably the best solution for most white people: Do not listen to black music and do not mimic black culture in any way.

By the way, The equivalent for to a teacher's pension is not investing in treasuries, but rather purchasing an annuity. An annuity should have a higher payout because part of what you receive each month is a return of principal. Your overall point, however, still stands. It is exactly why...

5 dollar ATM fees? That is nothing compared to the near 100% tax on savings we are suffering under, courtesy of the unelected and unaccountable federal reserve, which is exactly what a zero/near zero interest rate policy is.

Pinochet was a great man. He saved Chile from communist scum, then peacefully stepped down and restored democracy when the nation had not only been restored as it was, but had become a bustling free market of wealth and relative prosperity. So, In my case I do support military coups if the...
