No doubt! Its the quickest route to the 'deer in the headlights' pose that I have experienced.

xianokie, In case you are serious, I am a psychotherapist and have worked with psychiatric patients for 10+ years. I have seen numerous patients treated with ETC. The only consistent effects I have observed are confusion and memory loss- maybe this is what helps the depressed?. IMO...

just this AM at 10:01 Eastern from the Instinet site: "Message to Instinet Customers October 1, 2002 Temporary Trading Suspensions At the end of September, Instinet has triggered volume thresholds in SPY and certain other small-cap listed securities that subject Instinet to...

True enough Dot. Its probably more about US imperialism and the fact that we fought against the current government, on their soil, during their civil war. Not to even mention that we sustain a small hostile island off their shore armed to the teeth with weapons pointed towards the mainland.

I looks more like you are having a reading problem. The answer has been spelled out numerous times on this thread by numerous posters. One more time: NO ACTION IS NECESSARY AS THE THREAT ONLY EXISTS AS A FIGMENT OF THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE SPEWING FROM BRITAIN AND THE U.S.

Great links Tiger0. I love the Uncle Osama comic. It reminds me of the evil Brezinski's who was so delighted that covert US support of the future bin Ladens in Afghanistan led to a Soviet invasion which greatly weakened the USSR over the next 10 years. Its a wise foreshadowing. All...

Max, See Josh_B's post above about the US ambassador telling Saddam that the US would not intervene in a war between Iraq and Kuwait. Are you asking for proof of the weekly bombings or Iraqi deaths? The bombings have been reported in the back pages of newspapers regularly. See the quote...

Granted the 767 would shock and terrorize, but the thousands of tons of explosives we are likely drop/guide into Baghdad as well as other sites laden with so called industrial and infrastructure targets are likely to kill, mame and destroy on a level which makes 9/11 seem like a pin prick. We...

Thanks for the proof Josh_B Babak, in regards to your other question, Miss manners, no. Canny survivor and up to that point, obedient US lackey-yes.

Great question Babak. I'm not sure what is necessary to produce containment. From what I understand, Hussain asked permission of the US before invading Kuwait and only went forward after receiving a vaguely neutral reply from the US. Its my guess that he would likely be deterred from doing...

I'm not sure we can discuss Iraq without mentioning lying politicians. We probably wouldn't even be talking about it. Granted, I have zero info on what really goes on there, but maybe we can learn a bit from history. Since 91 when the US and Britain have patrolled 2/3 of Iraq with no-fly...

AMT4SWA, TWA 800 downed by terrorists? Say more.

way to kick some brainwashed ass!

Maybe if the war on terror actually had anything to do with attacking the sources of terror. Its now about something else. Pax-Americana or something. Iran has been the #1 state sponsor of terror for many years (Iraq doesn't even rate). Al Qaeda being there and working with them is old news-...

Thanks much Alan

ddefina, In terms of what you list, I think its hard to defend the Vietnam as well as the 1st gulf war (one oil soaked dictatorship fighting with another over drilling rights). However, I was more referring to the 40 years of proxy wars fought on every continent and countless coups, covert...

good idea.

No offense Ddefina, but you should read some history. The US has been involved directly or indirectly in making war non-stop since WW 2.

Lobster, You are true on all counts. On correction through- IB no longer allows any trading of SPY on the amex at all which I think sucks b/c as you say, they are the most inefficient. Re the CBOE, I too have had spontaneous calls from IB giving me retroactive price improvements on SPX...
