    Happy Martin Luther King Day Everyone!

    Dull indeed. But we seem to have reached a state of "perestroika". Besides, other than the fact that Max has in the past argued with me about his disbeliefs in where I was, or what I did, we essentially agree on most issues. So there isn't anything worth arguing about. (though I seemed more anti...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    I don't think any thread that goes for over 100 pages will not go off on tangents. And I see no problem with that. On occasion, the moderators have changed the title of the threads. On occasion, the threads were closed. But the subjects always seem to re-emerge. As for "excluding" anyone...

    Iraq is whispering something

    You do need a license to rent a truck. And you do need to qualify to get the license. Besides, a truck bomb is strictly a terrorist's weapon. There is little danger of a domestic argument ending up in a "McVeigh" style bombing. But having an AK 47 laying around the house can result in a lot...

    Prop Firms That Care?

    I was with Schonfeld for a while. Their training was very good at that time. I don't know about now. They had a system that was quite effective, but it was based on momentum. Now, momentum does not seem to be quite so dependable as when I was with Schonfeld (mid 90's). I have no idea what...

    Iraq is whispering something

    It is. But should it be? Here on ET we have already beaten this subject to death. I remember being told that an M-16 was a good weapon for hunting squirrels. The 200 years of advancement in weapons technology should mean something. This all seems so repetitive. But once again, I am quite...

    Happy Martin Luther King Day Everyone!

    Very good:) Believe me, I tried to go cold turkey. But I admit to an addictive personality, and besides, I get bored easily. 2 kids away at college, wife working all the time, and my son who is home is 17 and has no use for me. So it is a sad state of affairs now. Trade, post, read, play...

    My Trip to Manhattan

    Thanks Aphie, I will check them out. I have been kind of stuck in the middle of where to spend the money.....on megapixels or optical zoom. Seems there is one or the other for the money. I don't want to spend a ton, and more importantly, I don't want to get a big heavy camera. I know the only...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Interesting that these sites can exist here in the US. Perfectly legal. Protected under our freedom of speech. When I first met my wife, she worked for the Anti Defamation League (has since left, but is still kept up to date on what goes on, and so I am also to a great degree because we...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Sad but true. While on our imperialistic and capitalist adventure to secure all that oil for our own selfish needs, we got sidetracked. The great environmentalist, Mr. Saddam Insane, acting like a 4 year old who was kicked out of his game of hopscotch decided to punish the other kids by...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Babak, I was really joking. You know how I feel, and I know my feelings are shared by many others. So, while I like your proposal on an emotional level, on a real objective level, it comes down to censorship. So no matter how wasteful the proliferation of cut and paste specialists (we know...

    Screw these anti-war demonstrators

    Gotta love this old post. Gotta especially love old Rush Limbaugh. The more conservative they are, the harder they "blow". http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=107970&highlight=rush+limbaugh#post107970 World War II ---------Franklin Roosevelt. (does that count?)...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Well O777, looks like your point went unheeded. Very next post was, you guessed it, another paste job. Can it ever be made clear to these guys that NOBODY wants to read this stuff? If we did, we all know how to find it on our own. Certainly don't need to use ET as a place in which to...

    dumb question????

    What were the batteries for? I remember having a little clock program running as a TSR on an XT. I thought the battery kept it "accurate" when the power was off:confused: I wouldn't think he was too mistaken about mechanical watches (expensive or otherwise) being inaccurate compared to...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Traderfut....another fine job of cut and paste. Here are my thoughts. Maybe I am inaccurate about some issues, but at least they are my own thoughts. I do know, however, that Israel would pull back to the "green line" if that would accomplish lasting peace. But so far, it seems "peace" is NOT...

    You see options buyers are doomed.

    OK, looks like a few questions here. Because of the MM rules for quantity of trades done at your posts, we had to do a lot of OEX trades to comply with exchange rules. Then, our "haircut" was calculated by our clearing firm (First Options). So if we were net long, or net short, doing...

    Iraq is whispering something

    Think you have Nepal confused with Tibet. They may be far away and have big mountains. But they are two different places.
