Ok if capitalism is a pyramid scheme socialism is an inverted pyramid scheme. Risk takers and workers are at the bottom being slaughtered alive lifting this heavy middle class of unproductive bureaucrats. Haha u say capitalism is a system that can’t be stopped, how can socialism ever be...

The environment does not matter. If u can’t be happy in prison u can’t be happy period. If I suddenly realized my prison cell really was bigger than I thought, and I was served steaks when I thought I was eating cat food that would not make a difference at all. Seriously GDP is just a...

lol the grass is always greener on the other side. If I had started trading with more than 0 I would have left this place already. I think I eventually have to find out if the US really is such a bad place to live.

I think way too much. Im supposed to read for an exam in statistics, but I can’t even finish a page without thinking about how things relates to the market. I am so addicted, my head is spinning all the time. Iv never had a job I couldn’t perform while thinking. Sometimes my exgf thought...

Nothing to be angry about? Whenever I open a newspaper my blood starts boiling. I’m starting to think it’s a big joke, how can “educated” people be so constantly wrong. It’s so predictable. Every article is written to rally people to support even more government. No hope in sight...

Interesting read. This made me think about why it’s possible for social democratic Scandinavia to have GDP at level with USA even though there is a lot less economic freedom. Because care for children and the elderly to a higher degree is institutionalized and paid for by tax money here (im...

Lol the tool is forced taxation? Money buys power, power buys money, of course the powerful elements within a society wins the fight for money collected through forced taxation. Why is it so obvious that politics and religion should be held separate but not politics and money?

The best solution to help the poor is so simple and counter intuitive that the world will probably never see it. 100% separation of politics from economics. Money buys power, power buys money. The greedy and powerhungry are winning the fight for and keeping the flow of money coming from forced...

No no no! As always no matter how original the idea to eliminate economic inequality is, it seems to be a tradeoff between economic growth and economic equality. Laziness is such a powerful drive. Things are invented because we are too lazy to do the work. To me laziness is far more...

I think they have figured out how to not make harm with good intentions regulating the economy. To stabilize inflation is an achievable task for the fed, if it wants to. When the economy is hit by a demand shock growth and employment will be more or less stabilized in the process when...

I think u set ur target too high. The fed has a comfort zone for inflation on 1.5-2%. I highly doubt bonds will give a 5.25% real interest rate in this yield hungry world anytime soon. The babyboomers still have some years left to save. Gold tanked in 01, stocks 02-03, real estate now? I bought...

Maybe status quo is the best solution. I agree, it seems like the money creating process is a wealth transfer mechanism. Wealth is transferred to the government and the holders of bank stocks. But what would be the alternative? If money supply growth didn’t erode the value of money, it...

Oh common! Are u kidding?? How is it possible to separate wealth creation from wealth transfer? If I can fix cars and fix cars for money do I create wealth? No, its only wealth transfer, the money comes from someones elses pocket.. LOL If u make money in the stock market u are contributing...

And I should add it didn’t work when I tried to connect from the university yesterday either. Oslo, Norway

The same and tracert times out after the same last hop.

I have the same problem as Torel and Libertine, the main page is very slow, and I’m unable to log into TWS or account management. Been this way since Monday, I have contacted my internet provider but they have apparently not been able to fix the problem yet. 2 16 ms 16 ms 16 ms...

Sooner or later interest rates can’t go lower debt levels higher and lending standards looser. Reality will kick in sooner or later, when this happens the necessary adjustments will be done. Americans have to save more, consume less, work harder or become more creative. High debt levels...
