    **Patriots First...Traders Second**

    hmm, seems like something is missing... at the very least, i do expect that if things are to go missing now and then that the basis for those decisions be evenhanded, at least as of now... to change the subject, carokann & nickleeson, sensible and insightful words, i certainly hope that we'll...

    Terrorist Attack on World Trade Center NY

    i couldn't agree more. the only positive aspect to have arisen from this nightmare is that the us has as of yesterday seriously re-engaged in the middle east peace process, and an advancing peace process between israel and palestinians really is the sine qua non for reducing the potential for...

    Terrorist Attack on World Trade Center NY

    the point i'm trying to make is that it's really very little to do with religion... you have criminal elements in all societies and all races that will misuse race or religion or beliefs or political theories to further their own personal gains... as in ex-yugoslavia et al, situations...

    Terrorist Attack on World Trade Center NY

    we're in full agreement that the perpetrators of yesterdays horrendous crimes against humanity have to be brought to legal justice, and i'm confident that they will be. we just musn't let anger and hatred be our advisors for shaping our future ways of peacefully coexisting on this planet...

    Terrorist Attack on World Trade Center NY

    candletrader, i understand your stance from a psychological viewpoint. but if you look at the realities of history you'll see that policies dictated by revenge have always backfired, ultimately leading to greater suffering on both sides, as in germany after the 1st world war which was to be...

    How to start a hedge fund?

    hmm, rtharp, you wrote: now that is not exactly accurate, is it, you cannot charge what you want in this biz to make it to the top, steve cohen has 1,3 billion in assets and has closed his fund to new investors, and charges more than double what is normal, while his employed traders are...

    Comments on this site....
