Pretty good reading there. Electric, you getting any ideas about abandoning your trading career for another career?

The National Futures Association says on average, that it takes about 5 years and a loss of $35,000 just to become profitable. That study was for day trading. Some say around 90-95% fail in 3-6 months. I've read about some very successful traders and they said it took about 7 years to reach...

What I'm wondering is, what are the anti-gunners afraid of? If they are afraid of being shot, to lower the already low risk, they should stay away from drug dealers. Perhaps they should also not cheat on their spouses. Haven't seen any numbers on that. However, I've read some time ago that...

I know my example was absurd. It was intentional. The point is, that at a certain point more government and more spending is not better. It becomes detrimental to the economy, people's lives etc. At what tax rate and amount of spending is therefor the most efficient and does the most...

What is there to worry about anyway? If you don't use drugs, don't deal drugs, the odds of being killed by a gun are nil. The most dangerous thing you can do is drive a car. Far from being pillars of society, it has been noted that more than two-thirds of gun homicide "victims" are...

I'm not only interested in what is best for me. I'm interested in what is best for the greatest number of people. Those are the conditions when I will benefit the most. Suppose that tax revenue to the federal government was lowered to 5% per wage earner. And suppose each state in the union...

Yes, apparently so. Looks like the sell off for TOL started August 2005. For a 50% drop. I dunno S2007S, it's your money. Do you plan on just shorting TOL and or others?

Kind of hard to breath clean air when a smoker is sitting next to you so my clean air rights would be infringed whilst within the smoker's vicinity. However, if you and I are at a restaurant and conversing as we are now, and I'm packin' a .45 and you don't even know it, how am I infringing on...

Well then, feel free to contribute to the gov at will. Help out the poor via your contributions to the gov. Ease the burden of your guilt via excess contributions. Sell your house, car and other possessions. Live amongst the homeless whilst trading via notebook pc and free wireless internet...

That's showbiz. Media circus is coming to dig the gold. Increased revenue, promotions, increased dividends to the shareholders......

What's gun control got to do with grenade launchers, missiles? History repeats itself often. Hitler is just one example of the 20th century. You can be anti-gun if you want to. You don't have to own a firearm. It's your choice. Just don't infringe upon the rights of individual Americans...

The income that anyone earns, be it business, wages or lottery is private property seized by the various governments. If some people think higher taxes are better, they should voluntarily send more of their money to government. Are you sending more money to the gov than you have to? I...

Please do not tell me that something like this will never happen again. Humans have not evolved at all in the last 61 years. NAZI LAW (Regulations Against Jews’ Possession of Weapons, 11 Nov 1938, German Minister of the Interior) "Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to...

Oh, but please, kind sir, did I say anything about what kind of tax? Was I not referring to business and therefor corporate tax rate? Just think what would happen if they cut income tax. That was the 1st paragraph, then I started talking about the US. I just repeat whatever I see on the...

They already have that right. And things aren't bad at all compared to other ways to die. In 2001 there were 11,671 homocides by firearm whereas modern medicine kills 999,936 deaths annually but no one wants to do anything about it. (Death by Medicine)...

Ireland was once the poorest of all european countries until taxes were cut severely in the 1990's. Suddenly, people started investing in and starting businesses. Lower taxes resulted in positive behavior and outlook on life. Wealth and job creation is taking place in Ireland by lowering taxes...

......In just six months, he's bilked lenders out of $1.5 million. Police eventually tracked down Tesoro in Italy. He returned to Canada to face 33 fraud-related charges. He was sentenced to 38 months in prison. He served eight months. None of the money has been recovered....... Let's...

I also think people's behavior has gotten worse as you mention in the gym, but violent behavior and crime has been dropping for decades. US Bureau of Justice Statistics, from 1991-2001 all causes of death from firearms has been dropping substantially, although there has been a substantial...

Gun ban' utopia creates violent crime increase The cure is worse than the disease | March 03, 2005 In a pattern that's repeated itself in Canada and Australia, violent crime has continued to go up in Great Britain despite a complete ban on handguns, most rifles and many shotguns. The...
