That still doesn't change the original premise of this thread, which is --- there's a huge productivity/creativity gap which is also responsible for the huge wealth gap. The idea that most wealthy people are born into wealthy families has been debunked numerous times, so there's no need to cling...

What's taking place is great for a swing trader (which I am) who's short index futures. But I'm referring to those guys that are betting on a long-term bear market.

Are we going to ignore the fact that 85% of millionaires are first generational?

It's funny because I've encountered a lot of liberals who voted for Obama during both terms only because he's black. Particularly black liberals, btw. You know...those types who'd call you racist for not supporting Obama if you're non-black or an Uncle Tom if you are black. Anyways, I've met a...

When mentioning the wealth gap, how come no one talks about the creativity and productivity gap as well? We always hear about the growing divide between rich, poor and "middle class" yet no one ever talks about the ways in which these people live and/or their level of productivity. If you let...

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but what the public REALLY doesn't understand is that BOTH parties do nothing more than grant favors for those that put them in office, whether putting them in office was through voting or through donations to their campaign. Politicians are bought and...

Pretty much. You can look through every presidential term each party served and find policies that led to the mess that we are in today.

I feel sorry for those shorts if they're still holding....

Damn, this is why I love the Wyckoff method. It's the only method I've ever seen that allows one to see what's most likely about to occur before it actually does...unlike typical technical analysis a.k.a pattern-watching.

Yep. Democratic policies are about to turn this into a plutocracy.

Correct. I have family members who give me a hard time for not being an Obama zealot. Then when you ask them about the issues, and try to figure out which of Obama's policies they're so in favor of, they don't know about any of his policies except that he kept welfare and food stamps going...oh...

Good to see my fellow black people call Obama what he is....a failure, a fraud. But, other kool-aid sipping blacks are gonna call them Uncle Toms, sellouts, etc., despite the fact that they're speaking facts. Black conservatives pointed out how in the State of the Union that Obama spoke greatly...

They really need to leave this guy alone. Black men kill black men every single day, several times a day but yet the media doesn't follow them around.

Well said. That's another thing I try to point out to liberals is that their hard work will count for nothing if their mind is in the wrong place. That's how a person can labor on a job for 3-40 years and never move past their starting position...because they never set a goal to do so. They just...

The words that I'm about to speak may have more so to do with work than politics, but I'll tie them in together. The truth of the matter is that not everyone is going to make it in their lines of endeavor, period. This topic stems from a conversation I was having online with a few liberals. I...

Selling my Dell XPS 8500. This is not your usual XPS. I had a customer graphics card installed (NVIDIA Graphics Card - GeForce GTX 660) and 3-monitor setup. Each monitor, by the way is 22 inches...Dell LED Monitors. 12 GB RAM 2 TB Hard Drive Intel(R) Core - i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Windows...

This is typical of the big operators that are attempting to liquidate. They're hyping it up in the media to push price a little higher and to start selling to those that buy the mania. A lot of people are about to be disappointed.

When I first started, I was trading single contracts in the futures markets. I took an $800 loss in a single day. Til this day, I can't justify taking that trade.

That's crazy. Typical liberal play...avoid responsibility and jump to some sort of bigotry as the cause of your failure.

LOL. I haven't checked it out yet but I heard that Obama said during that interview that his approval ratings have dropped due to the fact that people dislike him because he's black. I guess it has nothing to do with the lies that have been told or any of the other stuff, and never mind the fact...
