    Six Months to Go Until The Largest Tax Hikes in History

    What's Wrong With This?

    Yes, the Italians do seem to be a bit smarter than other Europeans. I have a KISS explanation (keep it simple stupid): Asian children are genetically smarter. That's why China and Japan are purple. And the trend holds true even if you remove them from their native countries and transport them...

    How much is that degree really worth?

    I think this one is worse. In 1982, there wasn't the problem with unaffordable health insurance. If you were unemployed, self-employment was an option. Currently, if you're unemployed, self-employment is possible, but you can't afford health insurance. So the tendency is to hunker down, conserve...

    How much is that degree really worth?

    So phucking what? How much is that degree really worth when you factor in the lost opportunity cost of years of higher education, in addition to the actual expense, when someone with an 8th grade education owns this: <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2886789">...

    How much is that degree really worth?

    The point isn't that you should join them or be like them, but that an extensive education is not necessary to making a living and that people should stop being such PUSSIES. I've never seen such a bunch of whining assholes. I don't have a job, I can't afford to get a Phd, I'm never going to be...

    How much is that degree really worth?

    The Hutterites get by on only a high school education. The Amish get by on only an 8th grade education, raise huge families, and will not accept social security.

    Unemployment for Americans 55 and older surged 331 percent

    Feeling a wee bit hostile today are we? Hatred, don't let it find you. I once cried the blues because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

    Unemployment for Americans 55 and older surged 331 percent

    Actually, I'm talking about now. Everyday I dream about living in America; about how wonderful it would be to shop in a Walmart that has phucking everything at incredibly low prices; about how amazing it would be to live in one of those 2,000 sq. foot mansions that Americans call houses; and how...

    Unemployment for Americans 55 and older surged 331 percent

    If I was living in America, on the eve of the anniversary of her independence from her colonial masters, I would be overwhelmed with joy. Be grateful. Have a hot dog, eat some watermelon, and wave a flag. You may not have everything you want, but you have everything you need.

    Who Started Trading Straight Out of College?

    Maybe you could paint. Grandma Moses didn't start painting until she was in her seventies. "You want to know how to paint a perfect painting? It's easy. Just make yourself perfect and then paint naturally. That's the way all the experts do it. The making of a painting or the fixing of a...

    why people bad mouth mean reversion strategies?

    Give the OP a break. I don't think English is his native language and not everyone is a big swinging dick. The beginning of wisdom is kindness.

    why people bad mouth mean reversion strategies?

    Why don't you use both? Identify a longer term trend in a security. Then use a mean reversion strategy upon shorter counter-trends, but only take mean reversion trades in the direction of the longer term trend. This should keep you from getting hurt too bad with the counter-term trading and put...
