I'm sorry, but anyone who has never actually traded with the uptick rule should just stop trying to discuss the subject.
Uptick rule is very exploitable, it was a great money making gimmick while it lasted. It has zero effect on the bear raids.
I can get brand new of similiar specs (more RAM, weaker video) for $600 bucks. That's from an online PC & electronics retailer. Can get better deal for used from craigslist in NYC.
That laptop is worth $400 max. It has Vista, which actually lowers its value.
900 is ripoff for that...
So in proportion, Earth is heating up more than Venus but that does not matter cause the rest o fthe planets are closer to the sun?
Did you bother to investigate that Earth has more insulation that most other planets?
And neither of you are traders or have any experience with the uptick rule.
Lot more manipulation with the uptick rule in place. That's why it was created in the first place, create innefficiencies for the pros to take advantage of.
Maybe one of the Asian currencies, HKD or SGD. Although they all are taking a hit.
Honestly, fiat money is fiat.
Stick with real goods, food, water, basic medicine, liquor & precious metals.
Aren't you making $175k/year? Why are you wasting your time with school?
Put that time & effort & MONEY into something productive, a business, a venture, an investment, as well as networking.
It's been more about connections & nepotism rather than being smart lately. It's even tougher now. Of course if you are smart and can network, you can likely get by. Ironically, I'm running into more opportunities now than before the financial woes.
Still, it's a lot tougher and there is...
Try reading what I wrote with careful attention. You don't even have the slighest clue about the roots of socialism, capitalism and the free market ideals. I doubt you can even pick out which one of the three was reality before it became a theory.
You don't even know what you're saying half the time. Why you even bother moving to USA, you seem to be getting torn up inside from all the hate & frustration.
You say that Bernanke & the rest of that crew do not know of the "unintended consequences", when the reality is that they are aiming...
You need a clue.
Last time USA was even close to a free market was 1890s-1910. That was not working out too well, with riots & strikes and heavy public upheaval. That's why the government started getting involved, in things like labor laws.
Try educating yourself what free market is...
Why don't you guys go and read about the Global Warming movement? Wouldn't it make sense to see what it is really all bout, who is involved and what their future goals are?
You are obviously confusing intelligence with morals. I did not imply anywhere the two are interchangeable.
You need to re-read my posts in this thread. Pay attention to when I use the word "scary".
You also need to stop assuming that Al Gore likes you, cares about you or even wants you...
Do you even realize you just made yourself look like an idiot? Unintended consequences? LOL!
You're the dipshit who thinks these individuals give one f**k about you and the people. You're the one who keeps thinking that they are doing it for the greater good. Must be because they say so...
Hey retard. Those foreign carmakers employ more people in USA than the worthless Big 3 Autos who have been having perpetual layoffs cause the corporate execs and union execs are short on funds to embezzle.
Here is a newsflash. This country is already broke and been broke for quite a while...
LOL, not even close. Those are barely significant, but there is a financial element that has grown on it.
However, the rabbit hole goes much much deeper than that.
