I have no idea. I posted this originally in the Trading section. Moderator, care to comment?

Just ignore dsq. He's obviously trying to get a rise out of us.

The likelihood is still low, but the momentum is gathering in Congress to pass a 0.25% transaction tax. It is now being sold as a "jobs bill", with half the revenues being put into a "job creation bank" (aka a slush fund to help all our supporters). Although this link was already posted on...

Not the most ethical approach, but I like the initiative! :)

Meanwhile, the coastal liberals are mostly bolemic, think they're smarter than everyone, have or wish they had a black friend, and are in love with Obama because he loves to spend other people's money.

You're an idiot. Conservatism believes in LIMITED federal government, based on what is in the Articles of the Constitution. Liberals, on the other hand, feel that the federal government is entitled to solve any problem, which means that they are unconstrained by the Constitution...

Here's one interesting paper that appeared in the Int'l Journal of Climatology in late 2007 -- http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~douglass/papers/Published%20JOC1651.pdf In the Summary section they write: "We have tested the proposition that greenhouse model simulations and trend observations...

The travesty is how the administration and the environmentalists in Congress are hell bent on passing Cap&Trade based on what is now revealed as questionable -- if not disingenuous -- science. No one can claim that anthropogenic global warming is indisputable fact, and to pass such a massive...

I currently live in CA and have considered moving to WA. The reasons are many, but one of the financial reasons is that there is no state tax. However, there is "Business and Occupation Tax Rate" potentially based on gross proceeds. Do traders have to pay this tax, and is it based on gross...

TWS down for me.

Confession #1 When I'm not trading I download porn.

To INAJ -- I feel for you, bro. This is as tough a job environment as there's been in a generation. I've read that it's worse for recent military discharges because their network tends not to be in the private sector. And, for all the "green shoots" talk, I for one do not believe that the...

No problem. I think I have way too much free time on my hands. :D
