And yet, Wells Fargo emerged from the mortgage crisis with one of the healthiest balance sheets of all of the big national banks? Must just be a coincidence....

You think President Biden would be better for the stock market than President Obama???

Here's a free link to the recent WSJ article about Atlas Shrugged that someone mentioned earlier in the thread: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123146363567166677.html

I originally read it several years ago after noticing that a lot of successful people (especially traders and ceo's) seem to like Ayn Rand's books and philosophy. I found it hard to get into, but after the first couple hundred pages it was an easy and enjoyable read until about the last 100 or...

The most useful aspect of having programming skills for trading is not so much in writing autonomous automated trading systems. This is a very difficult task, even for an expert engineer and trader. The most important uses for programming skills for a trader are for acquiring data, analyzing...

I don't doubt that eventually the United States will dissolve along similar lines to what he proposes, but this guy's time-line is wrong, and the causes are wrong. The US will dissolve AFTER Russia and China do. Once there is no global threat, there is no reason to pay for a large central...

That refutes nothing. Most of the D-phenylalanine does not get converted to L-phenylalanine. And, So what if a small amount of D-phenylalanine gets converted to L-phenylalanine anyway? That's hardly a reason not to take it. L-phenylalanine isn't some sort of exotic chemical. It's one...

"Phenylalanine" is "L-phenylalanine". We're talking about "D-Phenylalanine" in this thread which is a different thing from what's in aspartame. They may have the same chemical formula, but your body will generally react to different enantiomers in very different ways due to the fact that...

That pretty much describes me since college and maybe earlier. If the D-Phenylalanine hadn't worked so well, I probably would have sought out subscription drugs from a doctor, but this stuff has worked great for me. I think I've taken it since around June or so, and never felt "depressed"...

This is kind of interesting. Found this link on the traderfeed blog today. http://www.typealyzer.com/ This website apparently runs something like a Meyer's Briggs Personality test on the text of a blog. So I ran it on the Elite Trade Forum Index and it came up with this personality...

This stuff really works. For the past year, I had regularily been having days when I just couldn't get anything done. I would experience a difficult to explain feeling of apathy, and just sit spacing out at my screen for hours. When I would try to concentrate hard and get work done, everything...

Color me surprised, but it looks like Obama is starting to lower his definition for who is "rich": http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MzI3ODEyM2U4YWQxZDU4ZWQ5Yjk4YWNmZjIzM2U3NmY= He's down to incomse of $200,000 from $250,000, but Biden's number seems to be more like $150,000.

You still have to have a 25k account minimum to daytrade SSF.

Obviously the "B" is backwards because she was laying on the ground and the attacker was standing facing the top of her head when he carved it. The "B" would have been straight if he had been straddling her when he scratched it in.

At your age, the best place to live in San Diego is Pacific Beach.

My Wife and I want to buy a new house in the near future. We are going to keep our old place though as a rental. We were pre-aproved for a 10%-down loan in May or so. I let my pre-aproval expire without buying anything. I decided to renew it last week, and now the loan-broker says we would...

Rumor has it, that the Democrats are going to put together a new bill that will be loaded up with enough far-left goodies that the dems will be able to pass it themselves with no need for republican votes. Hello transaction tax?

So if liquidity providers have to pay a .25% transaction on every trade, doesn't this mean that all bid/offer spreads will have to be at least 0.5% wide just so the market maker can make enough profit to pay the taxes?

I think this bail-out is playing out like a game of prisoner's dilemma in congress. I think enough of the members of congress know what is at stake here to pass the bill, but if the bill passes, anyone who votes for this unpopular "bail-out" is going to get attacked by those who didn't vote for...

Sorry to hear that :( Get Well soon.
