i didn't say their govt. was at fault i said they were facilitating the process in a sense, i don't think the mexican illegal is "at fault" in that i don't really blame him. if i was a mexican citizen, i hope i'd have the sense to do the same - get the heck out of mexico, unless i...

"They're both vehicles you're riding in, your car, your body. An accident involving either one typically has negative consequences on other people besides just the driver. For that reason, amongst others, we insist on insuring the one, so why not the other" this is either silly sophistry, or...

there are few things more dangerous to a trader than euphoria. it clouds judgment BIG TIME. i know a trader who developed his patented "euphoric trade reversal". it does like this. whenever a trade is going SO well that you start feeling like "OMG i am so good i am making so much money...

what really peeves me is the way mexico facilitates and supports people illegally coming into our country, while simultaneously vigorously defending their SOUTHERN border. if we protected OUR southern border like they protect theirs - well... illegal aliens would not be flowin into the country...

on the issue of mandatory auto insurance fwiw, i am not aware of any state traffic code that requires auto insurance on private property. ditto for seatbelts. now, i'm a pretty libertarian guy and used to be against mandatory seatbelts laws, however now i am for them, for a # of reasons...

SOME republicans hate(d) clinton i'm a republican. i certainly don't. i kinda like the guy. similarly, some dems hate bush. but plenty don't the flag issue is absurd. to actually ban the wearing of the US flag in a US PUBLIC school is patently absurd. the flag doesn't represent...

exactly, johnny. imo, conspiracies have an exponential discovery nature odds of being discovered increasing exponentially in relation to #people involved the idea that we COULD pull this off is absurd. setting aside issues of motivation

bingo, jim it never ceases to amaze me how bad trading is so often written off as "MM manipulation" and other such rubbish. do MM's play games? yes but there is only one thing that moves stocks. more supply than demand or vice versa at the given price.

right... the bush administration - which is SO (supposedly) incompetent in so many other arenas can pull off a stunt that makes capricorn one (hint: that was fiction guys) look like greg brady doing UFO's from the attic. cmon. there are a million holes in the conspiracy nut's theories, but...

buy and hold IS a successful strategy for investing. it aint a trading strategy obviously. I DCA many quality stocks, in one of my longterm investment accounts. otoh, i trade index options (long and short) and various stocks and daytrade YM. these are not mutually exclusive, or...

look, the market COULD sell off at any time for any reason. that much is a given all it takes is a significant spark, response to news, whatever. that's always been the case. always will be we have a different take, and that's ok :) that's what makes a market and a bull market is...

at least we have DENTISTRY :)

i find it amusing redman, the way you use almost every thread as an example to inject your anti-TA prejudices into the fold (no pun intended) poker, especially no limit, is very psychologically based. as is trading TA *is* ultimately the study of psychology, to a large extent, as i...

i am always skeptical of something, when in the few examples of stuff where it plays into my arena (my job, or area of study), it is just obviously off. the cortisol example was perfect in regards to this. this movie tells people what they want to hear, but is NOT anywhere near...

the fact that 1) commodities are ramping (especially oil and gold) and stocks are NOT showing weakness is bullish. compare to this summer, when everytime QM went up $2, ES went down 2 points 2) gold is no longer (primarily) an inflation play. it's a commodity play, on an international...

i'm relatively bullish position play-wise (intraday i take what the internals tell me) for a # of reasons, but i love the way the market shrugs off higher oil and gold, and all the naysayers who call every rally "window dressing" etc. all this bearishness is great for a bull market. it's not...

"dark sinned neighbors?' what is a dark sin (vs. a light sin)? isn't dark sin kinda redundant?

the dia (and trans and ER2) have led, and the Q's and tech's lagged it's called regression to the mean now the Q's and some of the bigger tech's (AAPL fer instance) have to catch up look at the NQ overlaid the YM NQ was consolidating the whole time YM was ramping

i don't trade "indicators" generally, but i am very comfortable and profitable with (this is a general setup. i have several variations depending ont he particular setup) with 10 pt stop 2 cars, first target 7 pts, second target 11 pts, which is far less than your risk/reward "requirements"...

the point is missed again... the guy didn't recognize her. apparently, she had a new hairdo. big whoop the point is that she has the duty to stop and present ID when security tells her to she does not have the right to hit a police officer period this is a similar syndrome...
