Well thats the same ratio you get if you calculate from the dollar value of the contracts. 73225 es 1464.50 * 50 78910 er2 789.1 *100 77420 nq 1935.50 * 20 * 2 You can't get those ratios from the performance bonds. Emini NQ margin is less than emini S&P...

Anyone have any resources/info about this topic? I assume you just uses ratios that give you equal dollar values based on a moving average price. I know of a FREE seminar in Chicago next week. I can't make it but if someone local could go I'd love to have a copy of the notes. PM me if...

TT Pro can execute trades from Excel.

Has this guy not heard about globalization?

Not everyone wants to draw on those services. But people like yourself tend to think you know better and that everyone REQUIRES the same package of services from the government. One tax that I have no problem paying is the federal gasoline tax. I pay this tax willingly (not that I have a...

go to irs.gov and search for "tax rate schedule". the first two will be 2006 & 2007 tax rate schedules. Along with tax brackets the amount subject to SS and the standard deduction and exemption also go up. They have been doing this for some time now, it is not new this year.

They do.

Is that right? That's much superior to choosing the best bullshitter out of a choice of two soulless opportunists. And then letting those idiots appoint other incompetents into positions of power. Could you imagine the results if the US congress were given a final exam from a Constitutional...

China is not the threat, US politicians are. As US politicians attempt to maintain their control over the world they will drive this country into the ground. It's already beginning with the current War on terror. IF they realize that war is not a viable solution anymore then maybe the US...

So the authors admit that the developing world is in a similar position that the US was 100 years ago. Then they say that to make it FAIR to Americans, those developing nations should be saddled with expensive regulations that Americans didn't have to deal with when they were in the same...

I've been looking for info on the perspective of taxation from the major religions of the world. What if paying taxes were a violation of your religious beliefs? How would that be handled by the US constitution? I believe the Koran has something against paying interest. It's not too...

Actually I agree with everything you say. Maybe I should have used a different choice of words than "sustainable". For the lender it is charity, but for the middle men, it seems to be a profit seeking venture. My point is that interest is being charged but none of it is going to the...

from the FAQ: I applaud these people for trying to do something very positive. But I don't believe this model is sustainable. Everyone makes money in the deal except for the person lending the money. You are not a micro banker if you are giving out money for free.

http://www.mises.org/fullstory.aspx?Id=287 I found the following story rather comical and sadly true. Teach Your Children Well By Joseph Sobran Posted on 8/23/1999 [Subscribe at email services, tell others, or Digg this story.] Because I write about politics, people are forever...

I recently left prop trading myself and am embarking on a similar path. What kind of time frame spanned that transition for you?

I recently began doing some more extensive research on this topic and have a hypothesis that needs to be researched further but I'll share it now. As pertains to wages, how can the government claim that you owe taxes on wages when in fact there is no profit involved. You are simply...

That sounds great, and I would definitely favor a flat tax over what exists now. But the problem is the politicians. Under any tax plan there is NO CHANCE of rebates and the country getting out of debt. For that to happen the politicians would have to spend less than the tax revenue brings...

Actually none of us KNOW what the founding fathers were thinking when they wrote any of this so it's pointless to argue on that point. But you are wrong to say that the 16th amendment clarified an already existing power. If you mean INCREASED an existing power I could agree with that. The...

If that gives congress the right to collect INCOME taxes then why did they have to create the 16th amendment? My comments are directed specifically towards income taxes. I definitely believe that the political system in this country is badly broken and I AM trying to do something about...

They designed the constitution to be amendable but I can't believe they had the foresight to believe it would turn into what it has today. You can believe what you want but I don't believe they would have approved of an income tax. The People can only amend the constitution? That is a...
