    Why I Shorted MRK: The Math $1Trillion

    If in my quest to make profits I knowingly sold a dangerous product that killed people and made them sick I would get sued. Also if I lied and covered up the facts to protect myself and my profits that would only compound my legal problems and I would get punished even more with larger law suits...

    Why I Shorted MRK: The Math $1Trillion

    I don't see why so many here are complaining about the lawsuit. If the drug companies stopped lying and hiding the dangers of their drugs there would be no lawsuits. They are getting their rewards for an illegal action action against the consumers. The drug companies are the modern day snake oil...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    I report all my income so I don't care what the bank turns in. I'm sure the government would love to outlaw cash, but I don't think it will happen in the USA for a while, probably not in my working life time anyway. I once cashed a $15,000 check made out to me. It was a crazy, the tellers...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    I have a construction business and a few years ago I purchased some cedar shingles, over $25000 worth. I paid for this in cash. The guy taking the money didn't know what to do, he said it was the most cash he'd ever seen at one time. Kinda of funny really, $25000 is a lot of money but not that...

Pay the lawn guy in cash, your painter in cash, groceries, everything you possibly can. When you get a check cash it (but...

    Tax Question -- Joint Tenants in Common

    When I said conserative accountants cost me too much in the past I meant I was paying too much in taxes. The accountant I have now is very reasonable and aggressive. I pay him about $500 a year apx. on my construction business tax returns, sometimes higher sometiimes lower depending how...

    Tax Question -- Joint Tenants in Common

    I don't like conserative accountants either, they have cost me too much money in the past. I'll have to study some more on incorporating for trading. Where I'm at I don't think I'll find an account who is an expert on trading so I have to learn what I can myself first.

    weeky profit traget for the S&P E-mini

    Am I figuring this right your paying $4.75 / rt (1.21 - .83 = .38 * $12.5 = $4.75)? I think I read in one of your other posts that you trade with IB. Are you considering going with a volume discount broker. Impressive man, but don't know if I need to read sucess stories like this before I've...

    Nasdaq Busts and my $11,000 story

    I've been reading the ET forums for a while and it seems like everytime IB is mentioned a rep comes on and comments or answers questions. This looks like it'd be a good place to see an IB rep make a comment.

    Freedom of Religion gets the axe

    You guys are funny. It's a pointless argument. All sides minds are made up and can't and don't want to be changed. Also no one can prove their side of the argument. It is impossible to prove there is no god, just like its impossible to prove there are no aliens or ghosts or whatever. It is also...

    Min account balance

    Maybe there is nothing wrong with starting with $2500. In fact it may be much better than starting with $5000. With $2500 if you are good at trading with tight stops you may survive. If not you will lose your $2500. And back to the drawing board and study more. If you are good at trading with...
