Wouldn't these "reforms" affect just the middle class, basically? If it was fair to lower taxes across the board a few years back, shouldn't he raise them across the board now? It also seems that these "reforms" would actually make taxes MORE complicated. Now, you would have to calculate...

I think you're only supposed to play OO on listed (NYSE) stocks though.

Yes, on, my desktop the file runs a bit less than 4MB per minute (at 7.5 frames/sec) so you are looking at around 1.5G per market day..

I use Camtasia just for this purpose. It will record whatever is on your screen for the entire day. Works like a charm. http://www.techsmith.com/products/studio/default.asp It's not cheap, and it's probably overkill but it does work very well.

These people expect their money back, with interest. It's not a gift or anything. Paying all that back will be though when there's nothing left to sell.

It goes to fund the deficit of our government. However, since you are the one with the brain power, please explain how running trillion dollar deficits and financing them at the cost of your country's middle class is a viable long term strategy. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9377813/site/newsweek/

My take is that US companies like MSFT, ORCL, HPQ etc... have been built by the ingenuity and hard work of highly skilled American workers. (Or at leat foreign labour that wanted to become American, move to the US, and contribute to the US economy, through the H1B program.) Now however, the...

Well I agree with that. I don't think it's good for the US' competitive advantage as a member of the international community though.

Except that to become a brick layer all I need is a truck and some bricks. A lawyer needs to go to college for 4 years, slave as an intern for 4 more and then, hopefully establish him/herself. Construction work has already been outsourced to illegal immigration anyways.

You've just described executive & ceo pay. I think CEOs should be outsourced first. It doesn't make any sense to have a North American CEO when your work force is Indian. There are just too many communication barriers.

That's pretty much the point I was trying to make. While the rest of the world educates their children for high tech careers, our children are becoming brick layers. If that's the society that you want to live in then that's fine.

Corporations have had record profits for the past few years. CEO as well as other Executive pay & bonuses have gone through the roof.

Vehn, Let's say 40K for 4 years * 2 Kids = 80K for state college education for your average family. Yikes.

In countries like India & China, top of the line college education is either free or almost free. How can the US compete if parents are expected to mortgage their houses to send their kids to college?

Perhaps marry an Indian chick and move to Bangalore?

You're quite correct. I would add that you do not need 'computer science' skills (not as many anyways) for testing & integration. In fact, you need functional domain skills in order to fully understand the problem that has to be solved by the software. For a job like that, you are better off...

Software development is quickly becoming blue collar work. I wouldn't want to be in this industry 20 years from now. Stuck in a cubicle competing with 1 billion Indians & 1 billion Chinese for a crappy, boring, average pay job. If I had to choose, I would be a plumber with my own company or...

Market Monk Should have charged 100$ and turned it into 10K with his trading mastery. How come these mentors always want their fees upfront. For some reason they never go for the 'profit' sharing scheme. :mad:

My stuff is written in C#. I used to get my EOD data by scraping pages from Yahoo/Lycos etc... and storing them into SQL Server Now I use TC2000 as my EOD data provider. It has an easy to use API and I have instant access to all US stocks. For my real-time, I use Interactive...

First, I doubt the dealer cares wether you win or lose, He/she may actually prefer that you win since your tip will likely be bigger. Second, I doubt that the yahoo play money game is fully random. I can beat my pocket pc plackjack game all the time. Doesn't make me a pro in real life...
