    Tell Me About Washington D.C., Virginia & Surrounding Area If You Live There

    I love that store, I used to work right by the one in Fairfax, man I miss having it for a lunch option. The only other one that I know of is in Reston. I agree with the other posters that old town Alexandria is a very nice place. It is self-contained and has a pretty cool historic feel...

    Why the D.C. Voting Rights Act Is Wrong

    Whoa whoa whoa, how about us Marylander's getting a vote on whether we want it? We'll take NW west of the park, the rest will have to fend for itself. :) Unfortunately for me the Maryland dem machine would be all too happy to add more dependents too its rolls.

    Tell Me About Washington D.C., Virginia & Surrounding Area If You Live There

    Restaurants are great, lots of good Indian and Thai places out in Fairfax. Home values have held up pretty well in the area but it is very different across localities, in general the farther away from the city the bigger the drop in home value has been. Traffic is an absolute abomination, it...

    I'd like to submit an application to study the feasibility of solar energy projects at US beach resorts by measuring melanin production in human skin. I only require 5 million a year. :)

    How do commodity exchanges sync to one another?

    Corn trades on CBOT, which is now part of CME. You might want to spend some time on the exchanges websites if you have not done so already I think answers to most of your questions can be found there. Oil trades on ICE and NYMEX it is just arbitrage that keeps the WTI/CL in line. Brent is a...

    Taxes at IB

    I can't make sense of mine either although I have SSF and options trades in addition to stocks. But no matter how I run the numbers I can't come up with what they have on my 1099.

    Soros Sees No Bottom For World Financial "Collapse"

    While I agree that if you bail out one you have to bail them all out I hope you are not insinuating that the free market is what really got us to this situation.

    Unfair Mortgage plan

    Exactly. Dogs that threaten people should be put down. There should be zero tolerance for violent crime, and the penalty for perpetrating it should be corporal punishment, including death. At the same time there should be no laws against victimless crimes like the current drug prohibition.

    Poll - have Obama-Geithner caused the next major decline?

    They are the cause of the next major decline in the same way that a person who leans against a dead and rotted tree is the 'cause' of it falling down.

    Save capitalism from the banks - Nassim Taleb

    Oh they saw it coming, they just didn't care. I spoke with someone in banking in '07 in a social setting and we both agreed that something huge and nasty was coming down the pipe. I think it was a combination of each individual institution believing it was better than the rest and would get...

    Any tips about day trading using IB?

    You could look at their ISW (integrated security window) I know it has a lot of customizable hotkey buttons for limit orders like one cent above ask etc. I haven't really used it as that is not my trading style but it may be what you are looking for.

    Value of an advanced business degree (MBA, MSF) going forward

    I was just pointing out that the recent track record of our business and political leaders does not really warrant them being called "great"

    The man once described as the world's greatest treasurer...."it's a catastrophe"

    My question is if these countries (India, China etc) cannot bring up their domestic demand and demand from the US dries up or even does not continue to increase, which has already happened, then how long do they remain surplus countries? How long before political instability and unrest hits...
