    How would you fix the health care problem in the US?

    Hey they could add video cameras in our houses and monitor us 24x7 so if we even talk about doing something against our health.....oh wait that was a book huh? :D Maybe George Orwell had it right, he just missed the time line by 2.5 decades.

    How would you fix the health care problem in the US?

    Wow lots of spam in here all of a sudden. What does this WHO ranking have to do with "fixing the health care problem in the US"? For clarification the "problem" is two fold. First the costs of health care is getting higher every year. I guess inflation shouldn't apply to the medical field...

    How would you fix the health care problem in the US?

    The good news is if Obama continues driving the value of the US dollar down, eventually all the jobs the US companies shipped overseas will come back since it will be be cheaper here.

    How would you fix the health care problem in the US?

    Lots of good ideas in this thread...some bad ones too. First some things should be regulated and some should not. The trick is deciding which is which. For example I think there should be a cap on the markup of physical items used in treatment and in OTC pharmaceuticals used by DR's and...

    Am i understanding options correctly?

    Actually the thread <a href="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=123545">here</a> also has a lot of useful options info. If you can't take a course then at least read through that thread so you understand at least some of what can affect an options price and future value.

    Natural Gas Futures and Electric Co rates

    Yes I am looking at powertochoose.org and considering Spark Energy. They are the cheapest with a descent customer rating. Oh and I am specifically in the Village of Spring Oaks sub div in Spring...basically around Cypresswood and Treaschwig.

    That's why. All the men were home watching the games and the women went out and did what they do best....spend their husbands money.

    Trading IS Gambling for nerds

    Trading IS gambling. NO ONE wins 100% of the time. The trick is to learn to choose high probability trades and learn when to get out. In truth learning proper exits is more important than learning proper entries. I think this is why most people fail...I know it's what killed me the most when...

    Am i understanding options correctly?

    While JJacks and Rosy2's answers were spot on, I will add that options trading is a LOT more complex than stock trading and with the leverage you can blow an account a lot faster using options if you don't fully understand them. So I highly suggest you read some books or take at least some basic...

    Absolute Lowest Commissions Available for Options?

    I personally use TOS as well. I got setup at $4.95/ticket and $0.65/contract. Since I usually only trade between 3 and 10 contracts per leg/trade, this has worked out better for me. If the OP is making 25 contract trades in a single leg/trade then one of the flat ticket rates would probably...

    Natural Gas Futures and Electric Co rates

    My electricity contract is coming up for renewal and the current rate for my area with my company is .12875/kwh. This is down considerably over the last year. I know this is usually based on Nat Gas futures but as I don't personally trade these, I was wondering if now is a good time to lock in a...

    Only fools are complaining about gas prices

    I don't drink Starbucks, in fact I don't drink coffee at all. I mostly drink water (tap not bottled) and I HATE these gas prices. It's not so much the gas price itself, it's what that higher price is doing to everything else like groceries, electricity, and every product that has to be shipped...

    Is Firefox browser any good.

    I have used FF since it's initial release, currently I use it with the NoScript and CookieSafe plugins. With these you have total control of who can run scripts and store cookies on your computer. Without these you have no idea how many tracking cookies and extra scripts are being run on your...

    Options Courses or Advisory

    I just found this site. They sell some CD's with Options Training material. I do not own nor have I purchased or viewed the material but they look pretty comprehensive if you get the full set or you can get them individually if you don't want all of them. If anyone gets these and likes them let...

    NO recession : But you cried rivers

    Then why are you here? This site is not for Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon Card traders. Pretty sad that all your cash fits neatly into your wallet.

    Can The Democrats Win This Election?

    Obama will never win Texas no matter who he picks for a running mate. Texas is a very conservative state. Hell the democrats in Texas tend to be more conservative than republicans in California and the New England states. No one should even be allowed to run if they don't even know how many...
