hey TM I have been with Shill for a few months. Not a bad outfit at all. I consider it a good move so far. Only drawback is that the monthly desk fees are a bit on the high side. But if you do manage to trade 100 million shares a month, you get a rebate of 75% of those fees every...

hey candletrader, got a great idea for a new poll for you. is the use of "trading jargon" important? is it a matter of being accurate? or just fashionable? if you meant to say "buy" when you said "sell", well then of course it matters. but what about the less crucial terms? one...

Not to single out Echo Trade, but being a "leader in the industry" has not meant a whole lot over the years. I think EF Hutton was "a leader in the industry". If not for Shearson coming to the recue, they would have gone under. And if I remember correctly, Shearson had just been aquired by...

wow, so far 100% voted that this sets a new low as a thread. (wonder who's vote that was?) too early to call a winner though. still counting chads in Palm Beach probably. Peace, :)rs7

We have had polls about practically everything. Who was going to pass Don Bright in number of posts. Is torture justified. The gamut has been run. Everything imaginable seems to have a poll associated with it lately. If it were up to the members of ET, the world would have all the answers. We...

Yup, that was the line. Funny thing (not really funny in a humorous way) is I have actually seen that happen. My next door neighbor's fiancee was an MD doing his residency. So he was not in Aspen most of the time. (Where we were living then). One time he blew into town and his new drug of...

I can't get no - satisfaction I can't get no - satisfaction 'Cause I try', and I try Yes I try, I try I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no satisfaction :)

Are there any bad ones? My listening habits have changed dramatically the past several weeks. I discovered "live365.com" Great site!

looks like Daniel_M vs. Traderfut2000 Round II is about to begin. Ready to Rumble. Peace, :)rs7

Fine post...really very descriptive of a guy who defies description. Good job, Mondo! Peace, :)Rs7

yup, great score for that movie....some real gems. Obscure stuff (don't bogart that joint) (so you wanna be a bird) to the mainstream...Hendix's immortal "If 6 was 9" and of course Steppenwolf. And the Byrds, and the Ballad of Easy Rider. I can't remember all the songs, but it was an amazing...

Old Geezers....That about sums it up!:) Yeah, I thought Fear and Loathing was a riot too. Acid Test was indeed a bit tedious at times, but it was not a novel, and I guess Wolfe felt he needed to include a lot of what wasn't exciting reading to hold it all together. Easy Rider was no...

I guess my perception of the Acid Test has been distorted by time. As far as Fear and Loathing...like I said, it was HIS reality. Which has very little to do with "normal" reality. I have not read Demon Box. Or any Kesey books other than Sometimes a Great Notion, and Cuckoos Nest...

No need to apologize. Differences of opinions and different perceptions make the world go 'round. Just a few comments. You said (I think) that I was an adult at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Actually I was a 14 year old who along with my classmates was told by a teacher that we would...

OK, the guy was still pretty new at the job..only in office 6 months. How would you guys do after 6 months?: 6/16/81 At his third press conference, President Reagan responds to the following: · The Israeli attack on Iraq - "I can't answer that" · Israels' refusal to sign the...

Tom Wolfe is "just another doped up drunk"? A "mediocre writer at best"? Glad you told me that. I did not know this until I read your post. Thanks, Rs7

OK Publias, I had another thought. If you thought that "Fear and Loathing in LV" was just amusing, and you thought it was "fictionalized" (at least), here is a suggestion. Read what I consider one of the great History books of the times that created the good Dr. Thompson. "The Electric...

Find Fear and Loathing at the Watergate (not sure how...check out amazon....it was a series in Rolling Stone). What makes you think that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was not "non-fiction"....it was his reality. His coverage of a motorcycle race if I recall (read it almost 30 years ago)...

Hapaboy, I did not mean to insult you. Really, I did not. I just had (and have) a strong suspicion that you did not live through those days, like I did, so your perspective has to be different. As far as "the Cuban Missile Crisis would not have occured under Reagan because there would not...

Nope, read you wrong. It happens. Peace, Rs7
