    IB server ping time

    I wish I had some of the problems others have out there. I'm in interior Alaska and my pings are consistently between 1700 and 3000 ms. It doesn't seem to matter much as I don't trade stocks only options.

    Just to take the edge off? It may calm your nerves but I suspect it also takes the edge off one's intellect.

    Frm Washington Times 1/17/03 The benchmark for judging Saddam's compliance with U.N. disarmament edicts is the 1998 final report of the U.N. inspection team. That team reported huge discrepancies in the weapons components it positively identified as having been produced and Iraq's denial...

    Wild; I guess your bold type is meant to say that a four mile range is no danger to the US, or any of Saddams neighbors, but it is a big deal to ground troops.

    Yes Saddams oil is a small part of the whole as is his voice in OPEC. Yes my point was the whole world depends on oil and we, the world, cannot have Saddam or his ilk with nukes holding the world hostage over oil. His neighbors are no match for him militarily and are rightly afraid of what he...

    Perhaps you still don't get it. We don't need permission or approval from anyone to defend ourselves. And yes you are absolutely correct. We are defending ourselves against Iraq because the oil that is the engine of the world's growth and our national security is concentrated in Saddam's...

    You got that right ! Wild: lots of things are possible but highly unlikely. We'll see after the fact how accurate your doomsayers are. By the way they overlooked one other consequence, if that's imaginable. It's likely that most of the world will be stricken with the heartbreak of...

    None actually. The result is the same but living in fear is no way to live. Better to confront it and get it behind you. Kinda like taking your losses early.

    Until the Intl community can take care of itself they need to mind their own businesses in regards to our national security. Especially when they are the ones wringing their limp-wristed hands expecting us to take care of the worlds problems and then bitching about it when we do. Can you tell...

    If we do go to war I want it to be for a "good" reason also. However, I believe Saddam qualifies on all 4 of your counts above. Unfortunately we are already playing global cop and have been since the end of the Spanish-American war by no choice of our own many times. The simple fact is that...

    The market is whispering something...

    Generally I try t stay calm but I must say , Hii a_ooiioo_a, you are a fucking hypocrite. You call some one a bigot because he doesn't trade and imply he shouldn't be on these boards and then turn around and mouth some drivel about how you support everyone's right to free speech. I'd be...
