Well I definately see more clearly where you are coming from now, but I just don't see it having the effect you think it will. Also if you take the 20bil we spend on this ridiculous war and then add the billions we would make by taxing drugs I think it would more than pay for the rise...

The biggest what? TAX? If this country has no economic interest in the sale of tobacco then why is such a deadly drug still legal? Why not just put that in with the other prohibited drugs too?

I didn't answer it because I simply cannot understand why you think they will skyrocket if marijuana is legalized. Do you think use will tripple overnight or something? Do you not think the insurance companies know that millions of people smoke pot now? I just don't understand where you are...

Well its not a morality issue for me either. It's an issue of liberty and mans basic rights to do one thing becuase it is beneficial to the gov (smoke cigs) but not another (smoke weed) because its not. Its fucked up.

I had no problem with you not providing the links, but if one were to go back and look at the passages you copied it is easy to see you left out key statements like, scientists believe, we think, etc to support your case and make them come accross as more conclusive/valid. Thats just cheesey...

You could have at least provided the links to the sites you just pulled that from... did you really think you were the only one in america with google? http://www.well.com/user/woa/fspot.htm and http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/0598.html "How does marijuana affect the lungs? Scientists...

First of all, they have never, to my knowledge at least, proven that the toxins released through the use of Marijuana consumption are carinogenic. Now if I'm wrong, then simply point me to a scientific study. Common sense tells me that it more than likely would, but I don't trust common sense --...

1/2 a million people a year die as a direct result of tobacco consumption. Last time I checked there was not one death that could be proven to be a direct result of marijuana. Let me repeat that, there has never been one death that could be proven to be a direct result of marijuana consumption...

LOL, Merk is going to be growing/selling pot? Where the fuck did you manage to pull that one from? We are not talking pharmacueticals here bro, its a plant. If Merk were so interested in selling/growing a plant they would have gotten into the Tobacco Industry 100 years ago...

Mav, Perhaps I am missing something, but why is it that healthcare wold go through the roof if drugs were legalized?

I love how America trys to beat every "problem" that arises into submission, such a ridiculous notion to think you could stifle mans natural desire to get himself "fucked up"... I have read/heard that over 700,000 arrests a year are for marijuana possession; that is by far the dumbest...

Thoughts?

Ironic that you should bring up the Bullish Percent indicator as this is the very indicator that has sparked my interest in the various breadth indicators and compeled me to start this thread... Do you have any experience with it? Do you currently apply it to your own analysis?

Danny, I am somewhat unique in that when I started in 97' I had absolutely no intentions whatsoever to "day-trade". All I knew was that I had made alot (for me then) of money swing/position trading from 93 to 97 and when I couldn't get my business plan financed (best thing that ever happened...

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread dedicated to discussing the various breadth indicators traders like to use to help "game" the index futures (ES,YM,NQ,ER2) -- on both an intra/inter day time frame. I am not so interested in discussing sectors/components or intermarket...

TF, If you don't mind me asking -- how long have you been doing this for a living?

Fuck! You just got me pretty depressed :(

Well when you are as undecapped as 90% of the traders who attempt to make a go at this are, and you need to avg 10% a month just to make your nut then all the Anthony Robbins think positive pshyco-babble nonsene in the world will not help you escape your inevitable fate...

or perhaps reality central... are you trading for a living yet qwik?

Well in that case I would have to say I agree.
