I am an American citizen, but I have spent a lot of time in Canada over the past five years. I have witnessed my Canadian friends go to the doctor, without any issues ... have children, take their kids to the doctor without any issues, and even take their elderly parents to the doctor without...

Nice try ... "Fight the Facts" If you mean "foreign trained" doctors - you are right. http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=b9c6ddf7-3b98-4b54-a2b3-4dc03ab9385c If you mean Canadian citizen physicians ... well, not so much ... "More doctors returning to Canada...

Some observations: 1. First, the proposed capital gains increase is to be between *20%* and 28 %. Some panicky - hyperbolic - posters have assumed that 28% is a slam dunk and are planning their escape back to Cuba. Good luck with that decision. You might want to consult with...

Looks like Limbaugh is still determined to yank Mr. McCain's teeth out.

I can just imagine John McCain reading this and saying: "... Damn !!! ... Ben Stein as the "alterenative republican" ... ? Not even Huckabee? Ben Fucking Stein? Richard Milhouse Nixon's old speechwriter? A political operative from ... the 1970's ... ? ... Damn, bitch ---...

"Joab" ... doesn't think Obama or "the other 3" (presumably Clinton, McCain and either Edwards or Romney at the time) are "qualified" to run a country Uh, what the fuck is so great about ... "Stephen Harper" ... ?

OTCkrak ... THAT was fucking funny !!!! Nicely done. Cayman ... What was the margin agreement and how bad did you violate it? Don't waste time typing about how it was a "really good" or "really profitable" trade or whatever. Just talk about what you agreed to and how far you...

"pissed goy" Re: "Bush and Clinton. Republicans and Democrats. Two sides of the same coin. Just flip one side to the other to keep the general population confused" ... That's essentially the same thing Ralph Nader said about Bush and Al Gore in 2000 ... How's that looking now...

CR First of all, you should go to wikipedia and type in "sour crude oil." You may be surprised to see some very familiar names as major sour crude oil producers. Second, in 2002, Venezuela - a major producer of sour crude - had a strike and their sour barrels were basically off of the...

Re: the premise argument made by "riskfreetrader," I think you have to water down the analogy a bit. Simply put - you can always quit trading. The individual soldier, however, can very rarely "quit" being at war. Not without serious consequences. If you are a soldier fighting in another...

I agree with Thunderdog. Just a card with your name and minimal contact info. That is what I have. And yes, my card does read "Mad Alfred" ...

From what I understand JC Trading Dimension Chimera may all give you 20 to 1 leverage with 5k and no license. They will probably want to know how you intend to trade before ultimately settling on the leverage. Your per share cost will be a function of volume. If any of...

Bigpipin, Nice story about your Mom. Good to see things work out for nice people.

Mr. Gnome, Reading that you follow the Central Banks and such; Is there any reason why you don't trade FX? Seems like it would be a fertile ground for profits, given the liquidity and the tendency for sustained trends? Second, kind of the same thing can be said for the domestic...

Gnome, You've achieved a lot of success, obviously, so let's do this backwards. What would you say are your weaknesses or areas that you would like to improve? And then, what strengths do you feel that you possess that have been essential to your success?

Hello Gnome, First of all - thanks for the clarification of the origin of your handle. It is good to know that you are not two feet tall and that you like to wear strange hats and dress funny ... uh, " ... not that there's anything wrong with that ... " :-) Second, why were you kicked...

1. I am pretty sure you don't need the S7 license. You are not soliciting business from the public. 2. What do you mean by "getting screwed if he loses money" ... ? If he loses money and can't or doesn't want to pay you anymore, he will fire you. The same thing would happen to you at...

WW2 Soviet casaulties: Approx. 11 mln military casualties Approx. 11 mln civilian casualties Combined casualties: Approx. 13% of the pre-war population.

P.S. - Some equity firms will only offer 20 to 1 overnight on "hedged" (balanced long vs. short) positions. So you would have to make your long-term return in that fashion. For flat out naked longs or shorts, however, most equity firms top out between 5 to 1 and 10 to 1 overnight. So I guess...

From what I've read I think you are making the right decision. In general, to me, it is a question of capital. If you have $15k in capital and even if you are the next coming of Warren Buffet or whatever - able to earn like 30% a year - you will be hard pressed to turn that into meaningful...
