The only solution may be to leave the country and give up US citizenship (the IRS follows you everywhere as long as you're a US citizen). My wife is an Australian citizen and we've been thinking of moving there so our two kids and I can get Australian citizenship. That would take one year for...

I don't owe you dick, Pancho. And I don't give a shit what you think. The point is, beginning traders shouldn't give up just because some idiot loser says it can't be done.

I'm responding to this because traders just starting out shouldn't be told that it's impossible to be a successful day trader. Difficult, yes. Impossible, no. I've been trading for a living for 18 years. First as an equities swing trader, then an options trader, and the last ten years or so...

If the economy recovers and the job market is strong, Obama will win in 2012, just as the incumbent always wins when the economy is good. If the economy is still in a giant sucking hole, then Obama will be defeated. That's the way it works ("It's the economy, stupid.") Right now, nobody knows.

"Never let a profit turn into a loss." So that means what? You're supposed to liquidate your position the moment you have one tick profit? Dumb. If you want to make real money, sometimes profits turn into losses. They don't have to be big losses, but losses are part of the game. My other...

Most of the discussions I see about Israel are from people who have never even been in the Middle East and have no first-hand knowledge of the situation. I lived there, off and on, for 13 years while I was growing up. My father was an engineer with a large construction company and I lived in...

When the market makes straight 5 and 10 point runs, everything works. You can make money with a simple MACD or a Hull MA or just about anything else you pull from the indicator bag of tricks. Problem is, when the market goes sideways, your indicators will eat you alive. What's more important...

First thing, relax. Putting yourself in a state of mind that you "need" this job will do nothing but make you tense. You're only 20 years old. You have plenty of time to give yourself a heart attack. Calm down. Second: learn the difference between "their" and "they're." [Check your (no, not...

Where is it located?

It takes a long time to become consistently profitable as a day trader. It took me almost two years, and I think that's about par for the course. (That was after 7 years as a profitable swing/options trader.) Harsh reality: You can't just expect to walk onto a competitive field dominated by...

When I read his post I just about fell out my chair. Say what?

I test drove the new LaCrosse last weekend. Nice car. A huge improvement from the past... But I wouldn't I'd buy one.

Since you lifted your question almost word-for-word from someone who actually is a "Free Thinker," the least you could do is give some credit where credit is due. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-l-borosage/what-is-an-emergency_b_590322.html

I don't begrudge Al Gore his material possessions. But I do think it's ridiculous for him to be telling other people to conserve when he burns as much fuel in his Gulfstream jet in one round-trip across country between his homes as most people burn in their cars in 7 years. Do the math on...

I'm sure your math is correct, but it doesn't change the fact he warns of imminent doom yet lives like there's no problem.

I can only wear one pair of shoes at a time, but I have more than one pair of shoes.

If Gore believed what he preached he wouldn't dump thousands of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere living a lifestyle that he could easily downscale if he wanted to. Instead, he demands that other people make sacrifices while he does whatever he wants.

I'm not jealous. But I'm tired of my wife's "progressive" friends telling us that we shouldn't have two homes or so many cars, etc. I tell them to take a look at how Al Gore lives before they criticize me.

Al Gore doesn't even believe in man-made global warming. It's easy to prove. Al has an 8,000 square foot house in Tennesee, a 9,000 square foot house in Santa Barbara (California), and a private jet that he uses to fly back and forth between them. His carbon footprint is probably 50 times...

California also runs on the "Greek" model. The average public employee union member pays about $100k into the system. That $100k is worth about $1M compounded for interest from inception until death. The probem is, the average employee draws $3M in pension and health benefits before they die...
