    History is laffing at the USA's stupidity :) :)

    As the saying goes, it takes one to know one. Gotta hand it to you though, few have been able to prove it's truth and removed all doubt about oneself in such short order. Kudos...

    Government Unions vs. Taxpayers

    Jeez, that's the whole point! In a government that can't borrow money they have nothing to give.

    Government Unions vs. Taxpayers

    What you're overlooking is a government unable to borrow money would never have attracted Wilson and his kind in the first place. They were a result, not the cause.

    Government Unions vs. Taxpayers

    The President has absolutely nothing to do with the process of amending the Constitution.

    Government Unions vs. Taxpayers

    Interesting that you quoted Jefferson. His greatest regret was not begin able to get an amendment passed prohibiting the government from borrowing money to fund their operations. That's the key weakness that's let us get to where we are today.

    Government Unions vs. Taxpayers

    Excuse me, but the FMLA is upaid for everyone. It's a backstop for those who don't get paid maternity leave, which is just about everyone outside of the boardroom these days. Bullshit. FERS Disability Insurance For Government Workers...

    Government Unions vs. Taxpayers

    Look, Sparky, if you want to talk averages then let's talk about the non-blue collar jobs that the government provides in addition to the bottom feeders who work for the Bureau of Prisons. Here's the link to all base pay as of Jan. 2010: http://www.opm.gov/oca/10tables/indexSES.asp...

    Soon my dream trading PC will be here !!

    You need to look deeper into the screen that comes with a W701/d. It's not your typical laptop screen. It's quite, no, very usable in daylight.

    Rep. Ron Paul Says He Won’t Push for End to Fed ‘Up Front’

    Completely agree. BTW, so did the founding fathers: "No State shall ... coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts" US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States

    Rep. Ron Paul Says He Won’t Push for End to Fed ‘Up Front’

    No country, much less the U.S. has ever had an open and transparent, ie. "honest" central bank. So, how on earth can you say it's vital to the economy?

    Tradestation Historical Data

    The sad fact is that there's simply no way to tell if an outlier that's well outside the NBBO was the result of a glitch somewhere along the data path, a "fat-finger" trade done by a human or an algo that's run amok.

    Tradestation Historical Data

    Short of cleaning ticks in real time, which I'd personally not want done, how can any data provider guarantee the data you receive is clean when they're not the source for the individual trades? Best case, the most they can realistically do is give you a service level regarding maximum lag...

    Tradestation Historical Data

    I could only go by the tone of your OP along with the lack of any mention that you'd already been in contact with them. IMHO, the whole business with bad, missing or out-of-sequence ticks is part of the cost of doing business. In the larger scheme of things that's much less of a worry to...

    Tradestation Historical Data

    Instead of bitching here, where nothing is guaranteed to get done about it, how about posting on the TS support forum under the Market Data topic and see what their data integrity team tells you about it.
