Just watch MojoHD! :)

Of course Buffett has no problem repealing the tax cuts. He only pays himself $100k/yr, and he NEVER sells berkshire stock. Plus, most of his wealth will be transferred over to the Gates Foundation tax-free, and the estate tax he ends up paying on the amount he leaves his kids will be a drop...

Most important point to consider. At the onset a hedgefund has a much lower payback than staying on your own (unless someone does give you $100m+ at the start). But, the longer you show consistent performance, the more funds you should be able to raise, and eventually you'll get to a point...

Obama by himself can't. Obama + Pelosi + Reid --- different story.

If you're years from receiving Social Security benefits like myself, then like me you're probably assuming Social Security won't be around when you retire. So, short of privatization or getting rid of Social Security completely, here are my recommendations for fixing it once and for all, and...

Great posts Mvic. Unleashing the economic potential of every individual in the country through lower taxes and pro-small business policies lifts all boats.

What I stated were in nominal dollars.

One last point -- The far left LOVES Obama to the point of being a cult figure, while the far right at best grudgingly accepts McCain. So who would make a more moderate President?

I'm not going to defend Bush on the growth of government spending. Personally I think that aspect of "compassionate conservatism" is unforgivable. As far as your comment that most GDP growth during Bush's term was due to government spending -- total federal outlays grew from $1.789 trillion to...

Am I the only one to think that McCain is the obvious choice? Not only is he a pork buster who's a strong believer of balanced budgeting, he also wants to control the growth of government. And he wants to maintain the offensive on the WOT. I think most surveys confirm that the American people...

Thanks raystrans. Will eraser also work if I've already emptied out my recycle bin and no longer have a pointer to those files I want erased?

Fair enough. I'd forgotten that Rogers was in one episode, though if I recall it was mostly him giving a tour of his home to the hot chick and not really providing any inside look at him managing or researching any of his trades. Hite, if I remember, was also a very quick one-line quote. I'm...

I want to sell my computer, and I'd like to keep all the software on it intact so I can sell it for more. Is there an application out there that can clean the non software related tracks on my harddrive, so that even files I supposedly deleted a long time ago no longer have any remnants on the...

What's interesting that in past general elections that pitted the Republican against a far left Democrat (Nixon vs McGovern, Reagan vs. Mondale), the result was an electoral landslide. Now, it looks as though the most liberal member of the senate can easily beat any Republican opponent...

What I'm wondering is -- how representative of Wall Street are the people profiled in WSW? I mean, no offense to ETers, but it seems to me that boiler rooms and prop shops operate at the fringe of the entire Wall Street business. I like the pit traders that are profiled, and I like the private...

For the most part they're real, although I did get f**ked over a few weeks ago by the specialist on a long MOC order on CNH. It was trading at ~50 in afterhour trading, and then all of a sudden my order was hit at 52.25, and immediately the afterhour trades went back down to 50 (a greater than...

I tried using the twsdde.xls and their market scanner function ignores all the user-parameters (minimum price, minimum avg volume, etc.) I contacted IB and they said that they've been having problems with Excel ignoring the user entered parameters. So, I'm assuming that other non-Excel based...

How much wealth do you need so that Paulson would even take your investment?

Spend it like a good American.

The only thing I've found that I trust on EOD data is the closing price. That's the only thing you can trust (1) is accurate and (2) that you can actually hit. Having said that, since you have a great backtest and your paper trading is matching the backtested results, I would say just dive in...
