when he said he destroyed the weapons of mass destruction he was trying to remove guilt from himself and there is no way for us to know if he was lying or not. The fact that he went back to Iraq tells me that he failed to cut a deal, they didn't trust him.

"Earn a salary, get full benefits and split your profits with us." so, that payout is on top of your salary and benefits. salary, benefits, plus bonus. In other words, its actual employment, and that is the only way I would want to be dealt with if I had to go to somebodies office 9-5...

I think we could see Dow 36,000 at some point but it could easily be 20 years from now.

real growth in excess of population growth means the chance for a higher standard of living.

that's not a book written about freedom, its a book that says the private sector has too much freedom.

the answer to the original question is yes. They try to break even on actual profit/loss from trading. If the traders make profits that is nice because it keeps them trading, but not absolutely necessary.

"3rd: 1 and 2 are much easier to accomplish if you have a source of income exclusive of trading." I agree with that as well. I have heard of people talking about cash reserves in the checking account, but few mention earning wages or having passive income producing investments. Needing to...

many people who have maintained their jobs and incomes are in denial about the state of the job market. many people who own inflated homes are in denial about the housing/construction bubble. However, things are not as bad as Fleckenstein and company are saying, they are talking...

If somebody buys some puts and the stocks go down its no difference if there is a war on or not, its all the same game. I owned some puts on GS before 9/11 happened and tripled my money purely by accident. I felt guilty about it and gave a little to charity, but ultimately I didn't do anything...
