Those who say it is possible have either: 1.) been trading a very short time and started strong 2.) been trading for some time, recently had a hot run, and think it is sustainable (it is not) 3.) are bald faced liars Regardless it does not matter and is a fairly pointless concern. You...

A nice looking girl, however not my taste at all. Regardless, they usually put the "hot" chicks in sales, where they can flirt with the customers and get the guys thinking with the "other" head before landing huge amounts of business.

CMU has a great looking undergraduate degree in finance. http://tepper.cmu.edu/undergraduate-business/academics/business-tracks/finance/index.aspx

I didn't check the prices of that corporate short term rental place i posted a link too. I agree WAY overpriced. Wriglyville/lincoln park area will be a great bet for a guy your age. Craigslist should help you find a summer rental. Both the bus and train are very good for these locations...

this place seems to offer short term rentals in a range of downtown buildings. http://www.manilowsuites.com/ If you give us more details of your situation it might be easier to give you better ideas. For example how cost conscious you are, if there are specific things you want to be...

When you describe things using this type of emotionally charged terminology, it becomes easy for the uninformed to think something nefarious is going on. Trying to "squeeze" the market or gun stops is not without risk, just like any other position.

"Nonetheless, it's getting to the point that a 4-year degree doesn't mean much any more, and is hardly worth any more than what a High School Diploma was worth 20 years ago." Exactly. The push for everyone to go to college has only succeeded in devaluing a degree. Parents and kids still...

Some of u guys are a little nutz about the "time and money" part. First it is not that expensive, just a few thousand dollars basically. In terms of time, 3-4 months of diligent study during off hours should be adequate for most intelligent people per test, if that. So in the grand scheme...

the egalitarians got it dead wrong once again: They figured if "everyone" went to college, "everyone" could boost their income at once. Of course, by putting all these low IQ individuals in college, ALL they have succeeded in doing is devaluing a college education. With grade curving...

I agree 100% with this: "the college education industry employs over a million people. student grants and loans (which are paid for by taxes of course) is just welfare for people in this field." The only difference is I would say the education RACKET employs over a million people...

"Then slash the budget to a ~300 Billion per year surplus. Then erect 30% tariffs with low-cost 3rd world countries (Chindia). Then withdraw all FED/Treasury backstop/bailouts/emergency funds and let FIRE purge itself. I like your program. I would add: Close most our foreign military...

The idea of a performance electric is a neat gimmick, but is of no benefit to anyone, much like the Prius. What the world could use is a feet of safe, affordable lighter weight cars that get 50mpg and are not made of completely toxic materials using toxic processes. When I was a kid a...

If you take it seriously and really try to learn the material vs. game the test is is fairly worthwhile as a self-improvement/knowledge builder. I studied for and passed the three levels for this reason, as I was not particularly interested (and currently am not) a CFA member or CFA charter...

I disagree that a larger spread is a disadvantage. I like having a thick order book. I would love it if they increased the tick size in Gold and crude oil, for example. I hate these contracts with huge volume but that have no size on the best bid/best offer.

Intelligence in trading is like Horsepower in a race car. More is always better, and you certainly need enough to be competitive, but beyond a certain point there are other factors that become more important. How does one explain Entrepreneurialism? For whatever reason, some can see...

The Krugster deceives again: Growth in per capita real GDP from 1950 to 1980: 2.2 percent per year Growth in per capita real GDP from 1980 to 2007: 2.0 percent per year Real median family income instead, we get: Growth from 1950 to 1980: 2.3 percent per year Growth from 1980 to...

In terms of trust, for long term investments I like to invest in companies where insiders own a large% of stock outstanding AND they do not issue themselves stock options or increase the share count every year. I like to see a stable number of shares outstanding. The best companies to invest...

Hate to say it but wage arbitrage has killed the middle class in the private sector, just as offshoring factories and mexican immigration has killed the lower-middle to lower classes. Unless we get an america first econ policy the only option for the middle class will in fact soon be...

if you have not figured it out yet, this is how the system is increasingly going to look: Democrats: Blacks, Browns, elite minorities like Jews (very unfortunately), and Government unions Republicans: White European Americans who until not to long ago where 90% of the population. The...

I think allot of people do not really understand gold investing. They assume it is "just like any other investment choice, which is wrong. People in general operate over a relatively short time horizon. In the grand scheme of things, our perspective is naturally limited. We assume that...
