I want to hear from guys from Bangkok and other areas where prostitution is legal. What kind of influence does it have on the economy and the culture. I'm guessing its a tremendous positive, and that prohibition of prostitution is having the same disastrous effects on our economies as the...

Corrections: China's growth rate is not 10%+ in the past decade, more like 7-10%. Probably 1% organic growth and the rest FDI driven and intellectual property theft driven. India has way more economic freedom and political freedoms, thus more organic growth. Regulated markets, not free...

The value of rememberance seems to be in the fact that dismermerment, dissapasion, and entropy seem to be the predominant forces acting upon the universe. Remembering the dismembered past can create order wanted and unwanted. With memory you either tie youself to the past with either golden...

There is no way I'm going to account for every single transaction. I'd like to see them asking any other business (say Walmart) to account for each transaction. They can waste their resources on auditing me if they like. For independent traders, simply stating your net PL for the year and...

Do gold stocks raise and fall by a much larger % than the moves of the underlying commodity? It seems to be the case but not sure of the reason.

(1) Not many people are willing to wait a dozen years to make their first 5k (or even their first 50k, 100k, or 1,000k). People who are willing to wait tend to be very patient and seem to have a different sense of time (an almost eternal sense of time - the time is always now). (2) I think...
