I don't think changing credit card numbers or closing accounts is a good idea. I closed an account after a minor theft and forgery of one of those so-called "convenience checks" from my mail. Once I did that, the credit card bank completely disavowed that the account ever existed and refused...

Capitalism isn't really a "good system" but its the way things need to be. You know... price controls cause shortages, subsidies cause surpluses. And most socialist schemes, although often elaborately disguised, effectively amount to price controls or subsidies. It's sort of like trying to...

Well I guess you could use the US govt breaking up AT&T or their treatment of Microsoft as examples. I think they both show characteristics of socialism, even if in America we happen to associate that sort of thing with Teddy Roosevelt and the right.

Do you think government breaking up monopolies is a socialist policy? And if so, please explain how you think it holds hostage human creativity.

Watched again last night. I missed the previous one, unfortunately. So I'm a little confused. Am I supposed to cheer when the government tortures Americans, or is that meant to be bad?:confused: Those looked like real Marines at the end. I wonder how much of my tax dollars are going...

Here's thinking outside the box, I think so anyway.:p When private entities become too powerful and monopolistic relative to the power that public/government entities have, these monopolistic entities effectively become a government of sorts, because they have powers over both the individual...

Pretty slick looking website. Might make people think trading is fun. :p How much do they charge after the trial period?

I'm sure premature is bad by defiinition. I find that many things that are done prematurely can be rectified by doing them twice. Which isn't a waste of time as long as you enjoy yourself.

I wonder if shorts are getting burned with too much size, then covering aggressively. It's very volatile for such a high priced stock, even a benchmark beta of 3.6 is misleadingly low compared to the true volatility I think.

I got another signal to short it at 99. IB still won't lend me any though. Too much short interest I guess.

OK, I just come in here and tell tall tales just to mess with your head. It's fun. :p

My system was telling me to short TASR a few days ago, but IB didn't have any for borrow. I think I would have made a small profit covering yesterday.

Interesting. I suppose that's not technically "front running" since he has no knowledge about specific trades that are going to take place.

OK I was mistaken about the divergence, but I thought the RSI dip below 30 in early Feb was something.

I think the only suitable sacrifice is to send Mr Market some fine meats and cheeses.

This was my attempt at the "make it pretty" concept. Been watching this since early January. All through the uptrend RSI stayed just above 30, 21 MA was just above 50, and MACD histogram was just barely positive. All of that has changed now, and there is some negative divergence on the MACD...

That's why I said "microcosm". I read it all. The cut and paste stuff is interesting, but your conclusions make no sense. Jews and Nazis working together by exterminating themselves? Riiiight.

This is sort of a microcosm of many of your other posts. A lengthy complex explanation, and then a conclusion that has no apparent relation to the explanation.

Well one thing that hasn't been mentioned is the implication of life on Mars being that the existence of other life in the galaxy greatly increases. Of course, if they don't find fossils where they expect to, that would greatly decrease the likelyhood. That would lead to cutbacks in SETI...

It just goes to show how profoundly irrational people really are. We think humans are the most intelligent creatures, but so much of that intelligence is wasted fooling ourselves in elaborate ways that help justify horrible crimes against ourselves and our fellow man. And that certainly...
