It's not so bad for the GOP... 2 reasons: (1) Lieberman is the swing vote in the Senate. Bush has him on virtually every pro-Israel and military vote. Karl Rove planned the whole thing. (2) After 2 years of MoonBat GridLock... It will be time for CHANGE back to the GOP in 2008.

Just a point about "complete sentences". GWB is a great campaigner... And has made very, very few spoken "mistakes"... And his speech plays very well in the South... Because it is the language of a Christian family man... Which is precisely WHY it freaks out Elitists and Social Deviants...

I support John... And McCain would be a lock in the general election. Problem is... in any normal year (and 2008 may not be "normal")... He has a zero chance of winning the GOP primaries... Because they are very conservative ideologically. In 2000, when they reached the South... John...

Yes. It applies to both Canadian and US accounts. I only have US accounts.

Do you have 10 years experience running a real business? Because this all sounds like someone who reads the WSJ or IBD... And has done some cursory research on the Web. No serious Law Firm is gonna sue Google "on percentage"... And Google will never roll over... and take it up the ass...

How "successful" were you as an "internet poker player"? What did you play, where, how many hours/week, technology/software? Trading and poker are VERY comparable... Both similar zero sum games less transaction fees. They are roughly equally difficult. imo, poker players have a slight...

This helps a lot. When I grow up... I wanna be U.S. Share Trader... And everybody gonna call me Mister.

Nobody mentioned flow-through profits. I'm General Partner of an older style custom LP... Which files a return and pays no taxes... The profits just flow through to each Limited Partner. How a Limited Partner handles taxation of his profits is none of my business. This works well if...

Actually... The routing issue is probably related to "unbundled" pricing... Which pretty much forces you to use only SMART. Like... right now... I CANNOT route an order for a particular stock to the AMEX... IB will NOT route the order... just sit on it and freeze it. But if I route...

IB Canada is under the jurisdiction... Of the IDA (Investment Dealers Association) and the QSC (Quebec Securities Commision). Any US regulations are secondary to any Canadian regulations. All traders with US accounts MUST be identified... Either through one of 3 W8 forms... or a US Tax ID...

Here out of 2,000,000 shares/month... about 2.2% print SMART... Though I suppose that does not rule out arrangements with ECNs. For example, IB often routes to Island instead of AMEX... And the Island order is Dead On Arrival... Whereas it would have a good chance of fill on AMEX. What is...

It's nice to see Israel preparing for an Era of Ruthlessness... Because it's the only language understood by the Islamic World. The American liberal elites are gonna abandon Iraq to Iran's Ayatollahs... Gonna cut and run... And every Iraqi ** idealistic enough ** to work with the...

If you plan on staying in this business... Then go and get it done. You will learn things you will never learn otherwise... Like the regulatory structure of the business you are in... And why things work a certain way. You will NEVER learn this dull, but important, stuff on your own...

Only someone devoid of basic math skills... Could possibly promote the "war for oil" canard. Iraq production = 2.5 million barrels/day x $60 = $150 million/day = 55 billion/year. This is an exageration... Because it leaves out the cost of production... So lets make it $40-45/barrel =...

I have not received anything like that. It doesn't really make sense... Canada has a comprehensive Tax Treaty with the US... Which was updated 2-3 years ago in light of the post 9/11 regulations. I'd love to see what you got... If you like... you can send me a copy at HoundDogOne@gmail.com

I totally agree with you. Trading is dead serious business... Especially if you have the API hooked up... and lots of custom software. Right now I'm running Build 861.5 (Aug 16) on my important account... And the newest Build 864.6 (Nov 2) on my small account. That Nov2 build is a...

Actually... The world can be roughly divided into 2 kinds of people: (1) Builders - honorable people who believe in doing honest work... And "building" something worthwhile or providing an important service to their community. (2) Exploiters - people who spend their lives scheming of...

This is all very nice for chit-chat at lunch... But business is a war zone. Does UTube have, oh, 500K to spend on a top law firm... And the stamina to fight GOOG through the several year appeal process? Because thats The Game... Not "gray area" speculations... Or even who is right and...

This post in a total LIE. The UN Security Council has been putting together sanctions against Iran... Precisely because what you say is FALSE. Why don't you just come out and say... That you want 5,000,000 Jews dead... as soon as possible... Just like the President of Iran Ahmadnejad...

Actually... Because I make about 250 trades/day... My trading can be compared to running five 6.5 hour marathons each week... (I have been a runner much of my life)... Plus 1.5 hours of preparation before the 9:30 bell. It's basically a near superhuman effort... And I have been taking a...
