    Interesting, previously three units was considered the maximum position you would take, now you are short four. I guess if you can let a position go 100 points against you and you can keep averaging down as much as you want sooner or later you will hit break even but neither is realistic...

    Which President of the United States increased the debt the most since 1980?

    8 years of Reagan increased the per capita national debt ~$6k In just three years Obama has increased the per capital debt ~$8k The chart is certainly designed to obscure that fact.

    Which President of the United States increased the debt the most since 1980?

    It also disguises the huge amount of debt added the current administration by looking at it in comparison to the cumulative total of all previous administrations rather than comparing each administration separately.

    Which President of the United States increased the debt the most since 1980?

    Yep, the president can veto what the congress produces and thereby shut the gov't down - the president can't pass a budget, he can take or leave what congress passes. Big difference.

    Which President of the United States increased the debt the most since 1980?

    Clue alert #2 - Presidents don't spend money, congress does - you need to look at which party controlled congress during each of those times as well...

    Which President of the United States increased the debt the most since 1980?

    % increase in the public debt?!? Wouldn't the (inflation adjusted) actual dollar increase in debt be more interesting? Or per capital increase in debt, again in dollars? Nah, those wouldn't produce the skew that the OP is after...

    tradingcomputers.com. have i just been played for the fool?

    I buy complete systems (Dell) and build my own but I don't see the argument that custom built will last longer or are more upgradable. The parts that are typically upgraded in a system, RAM, drives and maybe the video card can all be upgraded as easily in a Dell as in your own custom machine...

    Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

    Actually there are scientific and logical reasons to disbelieve that bigfoot exists and just because someone says they saw something is not a logical or scientific reason to believe it is true. [/B]By the same token you cannot rule out human error as impossible either. Which is more likely...

    Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

    So you believe that bigfoot is real? :confused: Not sure that is the best analogy to bolster the OPs credibility.

    ES symbol with IB & QT

    Yes, the IB symbol will change when the current contract symbol changes, this is not an IB or QT issue. ESH2 is the Mar 2012 contract, when the contract rolls over in March you will need to switch to the June contract symbol (ESM2) and so on....

    80% tax rate Means prosperity

    Unfortunately a majority of Americans would probably be ok with an 80% marginal tax rate on the so-called super-rich ... raising taxes on someone else seems to be acceptable.

    80% tax rate Means prosperity

    Agreed that they were smart enough to realize that things would change and they needed to provide flexibility but that doesn't negate the fact that some core principles that this country was founded upon are being trampled. Not all changes are good especially when the politicians are making...
