    Comparative Performance of American Health Care - national disgrace

    My Goal for 2007: Break-Even

    Keep up the good work. You seem to be consistantly profitable thus far. Obviously you're not trading with large lot sizes, but that is probably not you're goal at this point. Anyway, I'd rather be profitable trading small size, than losing with large size.

    Trading Asian Equities out of Boston

    Quality of life will be fine. You can party all weekend and there are plenty of hot service industry women that work nights and have their days off as well. Do it. Bust your ass for a few years and then if you want to, move on. It sounds like your young, so now is the time to do it my friend.

    Will someday Social Security invest in the stock market?

    I agree that SS is important and overall has been a success, but there are certainly some fixes that will have to happen (sooner rather than later hopefully) in order for it to continue working. I just wish that some of the money would be privitized and consequently, growing at a higher rate.

    everyone on ET is a bear

    Oh I don't know about that. But there are a lot of people that want to call the top in this bull market, so it appears that there are many "the sky is falling but no one knows it yet but me" type of posts. With that said, you see plenty of "100% up room to go, buy with no risk posts as...

    Do you gamble or buy lottery tickets?

    That is what I used to believe. However, after thinking about it, I realized that the same people that throw money away on the lottery, are the very people that rely heavily on social handouts. So it comes full circle. I'm not sure if there is any net benefit. Also, those same people...

    Is there a solution for Economic Inequality?

    What socialist for some reason fail to realize, is that no matter what, there will always be winners and losers in life. Not everyone is given equal amounts of intelligence, motivation, work ethic, resources, upbringing, etc. It is sad to some degree, but in a country like the US and others...

    Salomon Smith Barney wipes out lottery winner

    These stories are not shocking when you walk into the convenience stores and look at the people playing the lotto. I believe most of these people would end up broke, divorced, alchoholic, addicts, etc with our without the lotto.

    the DARK LORD backing OBAMA

    BO may end up getting the Dem nomination but I don't think he could win the general election. Any debates will be an absolute blood bath with any of the Republican candidtate because he still has no substance and what he does have is so far left. With that said, the Clintons will not go down...

    I Hope This Puts DeBeers (Diamond Monopoly) Out of Business

    The entire diamond industry is probably the biggest scam out there. Not much legit than MLM, IMO. I might just be bitter having thrown away on rock for my wife 3 years ago.

    Question from Newbie

    Give me a freaking break. You find it insulting???? Hypersensitivity is out of control these days if this is what you find insulting. How about saying that people that work 9-5 jobs lack ambition. Is that maybe a little overboard? I know a lot of people that work "normal" jobs and are...
