I sometimes hear those who oppose gun ownership make the argument that the second amendment does not matter in modern times becasu the Govt has control of the military which has tanks planes and predator drones...so your AR-15 is would be useless against them. That argument misses the point. A...

Both the democrats and republicans are to blame for this mess in the southwest. That border needed to be sealed tight 20 years ago. They should have had 100,000 border patrol agents down there along with the US Army since the 1980s. Its not just liberals who have opposed controls on illegal...

The United States cannot afford to give up the fight in Afghanistan. During this "War against Al Qaeda" and its allies NATO is going to have to learn to take a long term approach. As Americans we like to have a quick 5 or 6 year war, then declare victory and go home. The terrorist know this...

An enormous amount of customers opened brokerage accounts at my firm on Friday. Most of them were people who had never been in the markets, or had not been in the last 2 or 3 years, a few said they had been out since the dot.com bubble.. Now a lot of this activity was because of the upcoming...

That was a great clip. I agree with him spot on. This is another reason why the democrats did so badly on election night. While the republican party has been promoting a "free trade no matter what" agenda for years, the democrats advertised that they were the party to create American jobs...

As you probably know, trading spreads does require a margin account, and some brokers will more closely review your options trading experience as well as your financial status, prior to granting spread trading approval. Often times people will understate their networth because they do not want...

phenomena you make an interesting argument about only white countries being subjected to Multi-culturalism. However, looking at that argument from a different perspective, might change your mind. For example europeans ruled almost all of Africa for several hundred years and most of Asia. The...

I just do not understand why everyone is in such shock. When I watched Obama while he was running for office, he promised to pursue all these policies and more. Why is everyone so surprised? Did they think that he was just kidding? At this point in the nations financial crisis, drastic and...

80 Million gun owners is a very very formidable check on tyranny...do not kid yourself. I know that the govt has JDAMs and armored forces and attack helicopters...etc, but that is not enough against the people as a whole. I am not talking about 2000 militia men...I mean the american people as...

Bearmountain...if you allow the actions of irresponsible people or criminals to determine which rights that responsible and law abiding citizens have then eventually you will have willing accepted authoritarian rule. Would you allow the internet to be shut down in order to protect children from...

A very interesting and accurate article. I have never understood why liberals always tried to interpret the second amendment the way that they did. Often times they would say that it applies to the National Guard, even though the Supreme Court previously ruled that the National Guard was not...

I must admit that I do not really understand why so many seem to have been so pleased with what Bernanke had to say on Friday. Maybe there was something in his speech that I missed. I did not expect him to say that he was afraid of a double dip into recession, had he done that the Dow might...

I am curious as to what kind of applicants do those Chicago prop firms (true prop) hire? To have a realistic chance do the applicants have to be quants or have MBAs from Northwestern or Wharton?

No matter how you feel about them, the Tea Party people are a large group of voters and are serious about the issues they care about. They include educated and even wealthy individuals. Most journalist believe that they will have a decisive impact on politics in the coming elections. The...

It will be interesting how many gun laws will be eventually ruled unconstutional, as a result of this ruling. In most cities and states the changes will not be dramatic, but in a place like New York city it might be very significant.

Maybe monday.

Hopefully today will be the day that the US Supreme Court issues a ruling in the McDonald v City of Chicago case. Hopefully the court will rule that state and local governments have to recognize the 2nd Amendment just like the federal government.

Generals do not get to determine who is an enemy...no matter if they are foreign or domestic. This will be a very different nation if Generals begin to make up their own determinations about who the enemy is. That would be the end of our freedoms. General McCrystal did not fall on his sword...

If the general was trying to make a statement he made it in the dumbest way possible. What a disgrace. An interview with Rolling Stone...please. He should have just resigned, then gone on the TV talk show circuit and made his point...as a private citizen. This is the correct way to make his...

I notice that sometimes people get the term "uncovered" confused when it comes to options. "Uncovered" options as the industry uses the term refers to writing or selling calls or puts, without owning the underlying stock or instrument...or being short the underlying instrument in regards to...
