Palm trees in Maine and Orlando oceanfront property. sounds great!

Everytime Al Gore opens his mouth the global temperature rises by 0.1 degrees farenheit.

You can legally start a commodity pool with up to 15 other brave souls. You don't have to be licensed. I'm not sure what the incorporation costs and legal fineprint would cost you. You could be trading dozens of NQ's in no time.

Ridiculous. Black tribes in Africa tended to provide the slaves. There were black slave owners in the South and it was commonplace in Africa. In fact, there still are blacks in Africa that have slaves! Perhaps Egyptians should compensate Jews for enslaving them eons ago.

I read Capitalism and Freedom in Econ 101. It is still one of my favorite books. Milton Friedman also wrote the seminal Free to Choose. The Road to Serfdom by Hayek is great. I'm rereading it now in fact. Also read von Mises and Murray Rothbard (Man, Economy and State). Don't forget Adam...

Is this a non- pot committed vs. a pot committed argument? By the way, there are plenty of McDonald's and Subway franchise owners that started off with squat and either bought there franchises with corporate subsidized loans or bank loans. Anybody now of a bank that will loan money to prop...

My dad put 350k miles on a new Volvo DL in the 80's in like 6 years. He did not have any serious mechanical problems with it. I don't know if that is still possible now that it is owned by Ford.

I would have stayed at the school that would have let me graduate after the 11th grade. I would have used my college money to start investing at 17 (saying I'm older on the account applications of course). I would have invested 90% in indexes and traded the remaining 10%. I would have pursued...

The Suzuki would be more of an adrenaline rush. Also, the Bugatti would cost you about $430/lb while the Suzuki will run about $23/lb. The ultimate adrenaline rush: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Tomahawk -theoretical top speed of 450 mph. Watch those turns though.

Steak and Shake and Old Homestead I guess. Actually, there are several steakhouses in NYC that sell Kobe burgers in the $50+ range. In fact, I think NYC was where the idea started.

ahem... in the sub $50 or less no Kobe territory... STEAK AND SHAKE... remember it. They are a chain mostly in the southeast I think. Winsteads... unfortunately it is only to be found in KC, MO and must battle head to head with Arthur Bryant's BBQ for my gastronomic attention. Hut's...

"They're sitting out there waiting for you to take their money. Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it?" -GGGR said with sarcasm

Flanders is on a first name basis with Ralph Reed. That he is Republican goes without saying. Burns buys influence wherever he can. Many of the characters are apolitical or hard to forecast. Moe is apolitical probably. Smithers is a curious one. Perhaps he votes with Streisand. The...

He doesn't hate Flanders for political or ideological reasons. He hates Flanders because Flanders has more stuff. Homer is too zany and simple minded to be an ideologue.

Homer- swing voter for Reardon's reasons. Needs someone to follow and something to believe in. Easily excited over crazy ideas. Marge- middle of the road Democrat. Unlikely to campaign or be outspoken except on the local level and on issues that directly affect her. Not totally beholden to...

thx JSL

any experiences with????

I'm arguing for quantity not quality. It used to be, before my time, that technical analysis was the realm of freaks and deviants.

I disagree. The most curious young minds have access to tools that speed their learning. The top kids are much more advanced at their age than their predecessors. Kids in general can smell bs faster and are, thus, a harder group to market a product. Society is more open and accepting of...
