Way to go neke! I hope you started to pay some of those taxes :) .

Nobody is forcing "real investors" to go against the bots. You don't like, don't invest. Put your money into costa rica properties.

And how is that different than nationalizing banks in the "capitalist" America?

That's an easy one, just use Kelly's formula: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

He did actually say that C is a buy at $5, but more like a joke.

I think he was talking about corrections in commodities, like oil, and not indexes, but I might be wrong.

I don't disagree with your point, but just how is it unconstitutional? I don't recall constitution having any clause regarding legal contracts.

As far as I remember Martha went to jail for obstruction of justice not for insider trading. Never mind - someone else pointed that out already.

Money and wealth are two different things, as others here pointed out. Let's say there are 10 houses on a block, and one of them just sold for 1,000,000. The only money that changed hands is the million for the house that sold, but everyone on the block thinks he owns a million dollar house...

Here is a good read. There is a chapter on gold confiscation from a constitutional point of view: http://www.amazon.com/Who-Killed-Constitution-American-Liberty/dp/0307405753/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226665858&sr=8-1

Well, my 401K already turned into 201K, and if I take the inflation into account (which is really how governments confiscate financial assets), it might already by 101K.

And I'll bring the know-how :D

I think (didn't do much research, but I know guys that play online with real money), it is illegal for an internet gambling site to accept money from US residents. The burden is on them, and not on the player. Once you get your money in, and there are ways, just make sure you pay your taxes when...

I wish someone would force that kind of money upon me, even though I don't need it :D. So all you Goldman cheer leaders cut the crap and STFU.

Except that Walmart spends its own money on inventory, while Goldman uses tax payer money for bonuses. Big difference. Ha, ha, I now see Daal is getting a lot of attention:D

But his point was that INEFFICIENT markets are good for traders. 10-20% daily fluctuations are sweet. If you are an investor, well, tough luck.

The strategy you describe reminds me of this book: http://www.amazon.com/High-Impact-Day-Trading-Techniques/dp/0786307986/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225333298&sr=8-1

I don't trade options, but I thought that scalping them is extremely hard because of the large spread.

She is spot on with the explanation of this liquidity/trust crisis. But we all know that the real culprit is an institution that she avoids criticizing (or she does it with a little slap on the wrist). Yes I am talking about Federal Reserve.

Our constitution has been hijacked and made irrelevant through a long process that started the day it was adopted. Money and power have no political color. See this great book for details...
