When the original Anglo-Texas population is finally overwhelmed by newcomers, the state will go to hell as has already started to happen with "sanctuary cities" and the like. Folks, demographics are destiny. Don't let liberal fools con you into believing otherwise.

Detroit was destroyed by "white flight" and African leadership. So far as I can see Chicago is not suffering "White flight". As they have shut down the downtown the "projects" and distributed the African population throughout the suburbs (creating a new crime blight in once peaceful areas)...

This perplexed me at first too. As you realize though, it is easiest enough to change the default setting.

The entire universe of successful short term traders are in one way or another hunting stops. Why bother blaming IB?

It has to do with motivation: Where a person is on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

It depends on what you mean by "quick" If it means sit down at a computer and with low capital, no experience, no knowledge (other than reading market wizards) and then print money, well that is so improbable as to be realistically impossible. If it means become wealthy to extraordinarily...

Tons of good ideas worth considering resulted from the contest! I added some stocks to my list and might buy long dated calls on a few of them.

U know what I would like to see? Something that did social media using a Wikipedia-like or even craigslist type model. In other words, intentionally NOT exploiting every last ounce of profitability. Keeping user data 100% rock solid. No intent and no desire to whore up the site with...

I think many of us have a hard time understanding this stuff because we are not a part of the mainstream consumer economy. We are detached/not interested in what the majority of people are doing or wanting. We do not have a secret desire to be "whore for a day" and thus are not...

From what I have heard, civil-service union jobs are the absolute best of all possible worlds for near-morons or total morons.

Women. My understanding is Men and women have completely different online profiles. men: Sports, Stock quotes/business, Porn Women: Shopping, Shopping, Shopping.

I heard it has 2B in sales. 50B valuation = Price to sales ratio of 25. I am curious how badly the big firms fleece their clients with these deals? I would bet that any time you are given, "exclusive access" that strokes your ego on average you are about to get FLEECED. I will stick...

Though I generally wish success to all, I admit I would love to see this slimy company crash and burn!

Best thing for a small investor is to get a risk free 5 - 6% (minus tax deduction) and pay down your mortgage ahead of schedule.

Folks, with the new year approaching, we have much to think about in terms of planning and getting focused so that -God willing- we can make 2011 our best year ever. The contest is a wonderful opportunity to do some macro-brainstorming or fundamental stock picking for the coming year and to...

It might be that when the current year's positions underperformed, it is easier to want to start fresh in the next year with a clean slate. When the current positions have worked well, however, one just wants to let it ride rather than let the tax man take his cut prematurely. Perhaps...

If indeed Thoreau is Mr. Niederhoffer (Rather than one of his associates?) He has already contributed his ideas. See the third, fourth, and fifth paragraphs of his post on the contest. ...And you would buy any dip in what? How do you define a dip? Any rules for re-assessment or taking...

Kinggyppo, This is not Mr. Niederhoffer's first contest. In fact, I won one of Mr. Niederhoffer's contests years ago for a submission I wrote in to his site. I received a personal check in the mail from him shortly after he declared a winner. My guess is that the winner of the...

Thoreau777, I did not respond to the snide remarks because I have noticed that responding seems to only contributes to the thread-clutter/troll poop. The thread's purpose was to draw attention to the unique and interesting contest that Mr. Niederhoffer generously created, that is all...
