I was hoping to just sit back and enjoy the "debate" but nothing Don says annoys me more than this chestnut. It is so incredibly misleading. So what you are saying is that those traders that make it to profitability stick around with you a long time. All well and good. But it speaks nothing...

It's abundantly clear that those who are against universal coverage are not trading for a living. Because if you were you'd be buying your own healthcare on the individual market and realize that you are one sickness or chronic condition away from being uninsurable. If for no other reason...

Is healthcare a right? Who gives a crap. It's a pointless argument. But if you want to have a working affordable healthcare system, everyone has to participate and pay roughly the same amount regardless of their health. The healthy subsidize the unhealthy on the assumption that someday they...

A good starting point for understanding what is going on is in the API Guide under the submission error section. Check the asterisked paragraphs at the end. Your description of your problem doesn't quite make sense to me but obviously is related to this section in the guide. The settings...

If you're so confident of the strategy why would you give him a cut of the profits? I'd bite the bullet and pay the costs up front. The math to decide which course is better isn't too hard. You must have some idea of how much you expect to make with this strategy, no?.

You're too kind. I think my Econ 101 prof is turning in his grave.

So far you've eliminated bond fund manager and comedian as future career options. What else have you got for us? The good news is that judging by your posting history you've got a promising future as a troll. Too bad it doesn't pay the bills. Step 1: troll discussion boards Step 3...

Cheers.

Wow, I gave you a very polite out and you didn't take it. Since you are still trolling elsewhere on the boards and not clarifying your statement here, you must be standing by the wording. This is so stupid, I'm genuinely stunned you believe this. But given that this is what you think, I got...

Man, I am going give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your comment is poorly worded and you don't really think secured Chrysler debt was supposed to be government guaranteed. Because that sure is the way I interpret what you wrote.

Look, despite your initial rant to me you seem like a rational guy that actually understands the world. And so surely you realize Obama's casting of the bond holders as "greedy speculators" and the bondholders rantings of the end of capitalism are all the same thing - BS posturing as part of a...

Best post of the thread. Ding ding!

Are you saying the bailed out banks should have gotten another bailout in the form of a better payout? Kind of an odd argument for you to make.

I absolutely do agree contract law shouldn't be subjugated and when this is all done I think you'll find it wasn't. The secured holders AGREED to their payoff and they are getting it in cash. This is why I take the squawking from the creditors with such a grain of salt. Everyone is jockeying for...

Well, I don't listen/watch any of the above. Mostly I read the WSJ. You are incredibly naive to not include politics as part of the equation. And I'd argue you're the one that's been had by looking at this as black and white, right and wrong. There are few innocent parties in any of this. Last...

No I am saying I have no idea what their methodology is and neither do you. No benefit of the doubt was given.

I like how you say there was no methodology in the closing of dealerships while complaining that the plan for closing dealerships wasn't published. So you don't know the methodology used, you don't know the details of any given dealership, therefore you don't like the plan you don't know...

I agree it would be nice, but the last Republican made sure the bondholders of BSC, AIG, LEH, and MER were kept whole. I don't think this Republican politician exists, at least not by the time he becomes president.

You might be right. I was just pointing out that comparing his rates to IB or any other retail broker is not a good way to judge what he's paying.

Huh? Are you saying they should close all of the dealers? Because otherwise SOME of the dealers are going to close and they are going to get screwed. Which is exactly what is happening. The dealer network was going to shrink once Chapt 11 was filed, it was pretty obvious I'd say. Do you really...
