First NASA, CIA, and diplomats are unneccessary and if you disagree try and explain their purpose that helps EVERYONE and therefore should be funded by everyone. Obviously you believe in the war on terror. I believe the war on terror is a result of our governments actions in the past. So if...

It is only impossible because it is not in the politicians best interest. The post office is a government entity that does not recieve any money from the federal government. The users pay for the services they use.

One of the biggest problems of the fairtax proposal is that everyone would recieve a monthly check ($300 I think) that would be a rebate on basic purchases. Thereby getting everyone used to government dependency. Another VERY BAD thing is that it taxes internet purchases. I belive it is...

Notice that says "the love of" money...not the money itself.

Hello Electric, How is your PICS working out for you, it's been sometime since I last looked at it? Your first batch leaves you short CHF versus the long NZD & AUD. Is there a reason to be short the CHF versus the lower cost JPY? And if you want to be long MXN vs. short JPY all...

The difference in the volatility is mostly due the different yields on the underlying cash notes...this results in higher prices on the bund/bobl. When the bund & ZN were basically the same price 03/03-07/03 the daily ranges were roughly the same.

IMHO, it's cash flow that really matters. If your cash flow is positive enough to pay your living expenses, regardless of the level you choose, then you have no financial obstacles to being perfectly content. If you want more money because you worry about what others think of you then that...

I think this guy needs to check his math. China GDP is 61.8% of US GDP as per CIA 2004 est. http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2001rank.html

Are you trading stocks or futures?

Did the beginning of that move coincide with bernankes nomination as fed chairmen? Looks like it from that chart.

Fat finger mistakes happen but I don't see why anyone would think this needs to be regulated. It sounds like the stock in question closed up on the day. SO the firm that makes the fat finger mistakes paid a hefty "fine" in the losses they took. Others gained. Sounds like a free market to...

Vizion, I have heard of thales securities but I did not know they had trading desks. Good info, thanks. SethArb, I am planning on making a trip sometime before the end of March. I'll keep you posted. Advantages of Panama over the US? More freedom in a tropical location that has super...

1. Anyone know if there are any trading firms located in Panama? 2. Anyone else interested if there was a trading office in Panama?

What are talking about, wee man? That's Charm City. At least it's charming until you get to North ave.

There was a news suggesting a potential rate cut from ECB. What I would like to know is why the US 10yr took a dive as the bund rallied.??

OK I finally found it. Definitely against the rules. 501.00 Fictitious Transactions - It shall be an offense against the Exchange to create fictitious transactions or to give an order for the purchase or sale of futures or options the execution of which would involve no change in ownership...

1. if your trading between different brokers why would the brokers compliance department even get notified of the trade? 2. If there were different names on the accounts, would that still flag the exchange regulators if the trade was on the CBOT. 3. I'm not thinking about this to save on...
