    Why the obama budget freeze is a joke

    I can see what you're getting at, but those are projections 70 years out. The parents of the people who will comprise the bulk of the workforce at that time haven't even been born yet.

    Trading is a lot like this

    I don't know anything else about that skate ramp vid, but if real, that guy launched with less fear of action than I have ever seen. There is a part of his brain missing.. the little part that keeps the rest of us alive.

    black monday / panic monday

    d00d u gotz teh mad paint skillz! lol All I know is Monday is going to be a scary day. I'm flat. Watch for major volatility, possibly a big weekend gap, with an ever-so-slight-chance of a minor movement day and big nosedive on Tuesday. Gentlemen, we have seen the highs, and they are behind us.

    Has there ever been a time in history..

    GS comp does not seem unfair. They are getting paid what the market will bear. If the market will not bear it, they will get fired or their pay will decrease. I just don't see that happening. The only things stopping me from working there are a) I don't do well in a corporate environ, b) I'm...

    American Greed - Why do you like the show?

    Seriously, the only reason we watch shows like this is to see how dumb criminals can be or what we could have got away with if we would have thought of it first.

    Has there ever been a time in history..

    I think violent overthrow of a gov't is the only time it ever happens. And then only for a short time. If it ever was in the first place. For example, take a look at the wonderfully seedy and colorful past of Dole (the fruit company) and how many South American dictators they placed in power...

    Has there ever been a time in history..

    I also respectfully disagree with you. How many people with incomes under six-digits have benefited by the recent tidal wave of gov't bailout funds? I concede you the modest (by comparison!) bailout of the Auto industry and the home purchase rebate. If the average Goldman Sachs employee's...

    Has there ever been a time in history..

    I respectfully disagree. Our Founding Fathers were all wealthy and well-bred. Doctors, lawyers from prestigious schools, inherited money, successful businessmen and so on. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/signers/index.htm

    Trading contest: only 5.2% were profitable

    Well, this is exactly what we expect out of the real world, right? ~95% of traders lose money. Excellent job winding up in the black. How do you do with real money on the line? What's your strategy?

    Am I reading GOOG right?

    Could you add a few more squiggly lines to your graph? I don't think you're looking at enough indicators.

    re Todd Mitchell

    I have a goose that lays golden eggs. Seriously! About one a day, sometime she skips a day. All I feed it is regular goose food, and if I can't get that then just old pizza crusts. It took me decades of selective breeding geese to finally acheive this miracle. So many geese that fizzled and...
