Rumsfeld To Profit From Bird Flu Hoax Since Rumsfeld holds major portions of stock in Gilead, he will handsomely profit from the scare tactics of the government that is being used to justify the purchase of $2 billion of Tamiflu.

If the statement contains something to the effect that they will pause to wait for more data I believe we'll have a monster rally, at least for a day.

I'm not giving up my SUV, nor am I going to war in Iran. As much as our government would like to go to war with Iran I believe it would be impossible to pull off without first leaving Iraq. On top of that, China and Russia are not going to go along with it. Unless our foreign policy changes...

This was only for business owners using the vehicles for business purposes. Of course I'm not saying they needed an SUV for their business purposes or that you really needed a legitimate business use but that was the only way to claim the deduction. So you helpless cry-babies want the...

I watched the video and I was there when it happened. After the building fell I left downtown (in a cloud of dust) and went to a friends place in midtown. Then I watched the news the rest of the day. One part of the loose change video shows a news clip with Larry Silverstein saying that the...

I thought I heard today that Russia & China have said that they would not support any UN action against Iran. Did anybody else hear the same?

I think you what you guys are saying is that socialism is supposed to resemble the division of labor in a normal family. That I can see. But I don't think the metaphor works the other way around; saying that normal family interactions are socialism doesn't make any sense. Socialism...

WTF? Are you serious? Are you trying to make socialism sound warm & fuzzy? If you willingly give something to some else by your own free choice then you receive benefits from that transaction. That has nothing to do with socialism.

What is an ITM?

Todays TT problem : You should be able to collect log files to a zip file and email it to TT or your brokers tech support so they can tell you what happened...and hopefully fix it so it doesn't happen again. cable modem: If your only having problems with the cable modem from 4pm to midnight...

What do you call it when someone forces you to give them money? On the Sopranos they call it "protection". US Politicians call it taxation.

Directly from XOM: "His pension benefits are based on more than 40 years of service with the company and are calculated using the same pension formulas that apply to all other U.S. dollar - paid employees in the pension plans in which he participated." "More detail and information...

Sulong, I agree 100% Doodoo, you must of been one of those kids who were never picked to play in any sports. You obviously do not understand competition and how it provides incentive to do good things. Government has only two incentives, to justify its existence and to grow larger. AAA...

The firm I was with was using their front end but clearing through Merrill so I can't help you there.

A discussion of those three things would take this thread way off topic. So I'll just revise my comments to say that government should not impose ANY controls in the economy. They ALWAYS F' it up.

Government control of anything is NEVER the best solution. What has the goverment been able to "fix" in the last 100 years? NOTHING. CEO salaries should be tied to the companies performance, period. In this case the stock went from around 11 in '94 to about 65 now. That package is only...

I also have one that I will sell if anyone else is interested. Same price.

I used it last in 2001. Great for trading baskets of stocks.

I understand this from a single countries perspective but I don't believe that this will continue to hold in the same way with mass globalization. i.e., China is apparently just fine with 10% annual growth but over 5% in the US the fed will be looking at raisng 50 basis points. Most other...

How can you distinguish between rising commodity prices due to supply and demand, versus inflation? For example, if every chinese gets a car in the next 10 year (like americans already have) then there will be a real increase in demand for gasoline that will push up energy prices when the...
