Eh??

I don't know if this is representative of the whole US but I've just come back from busines in Florida. Drove from Miami to Sarasota (via Alligator Alley, didn't see any Gators) and back. Overall I was very impressed with the roads. Smooth tarmac, well maintained and no potholes. Contrast...

I know it's a cliche, but it's a real case of 'the truth hurts'.

They know to bully and move the goal posts as the game is being played, I'll give you that.

Wha you never hear from the 'pay more tax' brigade is 'we'll spend it wisely' or if you do it's just another lie, ie telling the people what they want to hear. Billions of $ for a computer system! Private sector would probably do it better for 10% of the SEC's cost.

Under house arrest in Norfolk, England. The house is near Norwich I think, google and you'll find out more details.

Even if they collect an extra $100 billion net, most of it will be wasted. Even if they collect an extra $500 billion net, most of it will be wasted. And so on.

Got to love the crappy 'Delta 1' name. Surely though a better military term would have been 'Clusterfuck 1'. Wonder how many other desks working in the investment banks should adopt that name? Quite a few I'd imagine, but not though in bull markets because then their talents really shine...

Big business likes to have a few token black people working for them. Gets the PC Nazis somewhat off their backs.

That probably explains why they make fortunes in bull markets and lose fortunes in bear markets. The average bank trader = no different from a monkey (who always makes great cash in a bull market) Always exceptions to the rule but not many. Take away the bid-offer games and order flow and...

If you take the 'brand' of the Swiss Banks collectively it was for decades so powerful and strong (regardless of the fact the Swiss have zero morals when it comes to dealing with the scum of the earth, take the African dictators as just one good example). But now, talk about trashing a brand...

Kevin You made a mistake (we all make them, so learn from it) when you bought the Dell without asking the 'how many monitors can I run' question first. Dell are good computers (if you get the right one) but are no good for expanding. You're better off trying to sell the system on eBay...

But the spread bet brokers have to offlay (most of the time, but it does depend on the client) so they'll have to pay the tax which means they'll pass it on to their clients via wider bid-offer. I could be wrong, but I think that's how it would work. Anyways, the problem with all this...

You're probably only half right at best. The middle class in India and other countries where the wealth difference is massive love to say the poor are happy 'if they get 2 bowls of rice a day'. But many times this is bull and it's used by the middle class to make them feel better about the...

Whover the richest person is, or even the top 20, I bet they all have shitty lives. Think about it........

Got to make the TV 'fun', that's all that seems to matter these days.

I'm half joking folks. Was in the US myself last week (hadn't been for 15 years) and loved it, big car, big roads, so easy to get around, but it was all the same.

"Why dont Americans come to Europe to trade" Because every town and city in Europe looks different and they wouldn't be able to handle that :)

My my my, talk about cycles. Remember Apple's famous 1984 advert (search for it on Youtube, it's a good one). You know, Apple against 'Big Brother' that sort of thing. Well, look what the 'upstart kids' from 25 years back have morphed into........

And then the government starts turning on its citizens...............
