    The Baby Boomer

    I was born in the early 60s, and I read Gen X long ago I thought he totally nailed what it meant to be at the tail end of the bb generation, in a way that no one else had ever come close. He gave name and mention to topics that a lot of people were dealing with daily, but did not conciously...

    Jack Snow (vs. Greenspan)

    fair enough, i readily conceed that MOST pols are total hypicrites (like Bill Bennet's critisism of Clinton, think of all the casino time he lost having to set things straight) by the way, im neither a republican or dem (although im still registered as a repub from working on a campaign) i...

    Jack Snow (vs. Greenspan)

    funny, i dont remember saying anything about bush or clinton all i said is that the annual deficit has soared and you are right, that it has a lot to do with drop in cap gains, which has to do with the bubble and not the president but in a household budget, if revenue drops without a...

    im more for reducing spending than i am against cutting taxes, my interest is in a ballanced budget, i would eagerly support a program of cutting spending but i feel you must cut spending before you cut taxes

    Jack Snow (vs. Greenspan)

    Because lowering taxes doesnt change your economic position any more than reducing your credit card payments makes you wealthier http://www.federalbudget.com/ Debt cap now being raised above 7 trillion The taxes you now pay have interest on the debt as 2nd highest expence...

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    OK, optional, I get the impression you are not a big believer in Bright trading, I think anyone reading this thread can see your name, and guess that the post will not be in support of Bright or OO. Open orders is a strategy that some believe in, others do not. I believe in it, based on the...

    bull is back

    Thats exactly right He made that call early in the collapse, and never let go, no stop loss not nothing, from 80 to 25. Somehow, those who praise Bob dont feel that call counts in his record. It one of the wost calls of all time

    POLL: Was Larry Williams one of the greatest traders ever or was he a low-life cheat?

    I received one of his "high impact" marketing brochers in the mail and did some checking. Again and again I kept hearing about how he made some great fortune in a short time, how his daughter won a championship, and how his detractors are all liars. What I DIDN'T see anywhere was a...

    Have series7 and 55 need help

    I think its nuts to take a position in a company you dont intend to perform in, just to keep a licese alive. The harm you do to your reputation is far greater than the hassle of retaking the test. I am preparing to take the 7 next week, so I dont say this lightly (Roman numeral questions -ugh!)

    shorting unshortable stocks via puts

    yes you can, but i sure would take a hard look at the bid/ask spread the round trip of buying at the ask and selling at the bid can be very harsh on options of course you can make your own bid and ask, but then you are not guaranteed timely execution, especially if the option is moving...

    Pros & cons of Dell vs. Gateway...

    "Looking at around $2K including fp monitor, scanner, printer. " For a mid range, I dont think you have to spend near that much. Personally, I like Best Buy better than CompUSA, The prices have seemed better and the brands more mainstream. I would consider almost any lesser known brand...

    I need career advice. Degree in Computer Enginerring?

    The above is absolutely true I would say that a degree is almost always necessary. I never saw anyone interviewed that did not have a degree in *something* That said, I dont think it is really necessary - axeman is abosolutely correct that everything worthwhile is learned on the job. I...
