You think so? Everytime I hear the Europeans talk about their Socialistic programs, they seem to point to Jesus as the first Socialist. I disagree with this completely, but it does seem like the Bible focus’s on the needs of the poor a lot and protecting them. But Jesus told the rich man to...

Sorry about that. Yes I know my posts can get a little long. It’s a combination of vetting a little and the fact that I don’t get this sort of mental exercise elsewhere. Everywhere I go, everywhere I work, and most everbody I know is not quite so engaging. I like arguing, in case you...

Haven’t you been reading this thread? PIZZA DELIVERY. $2 and $3 tips at a time. I made almost every dime I’ve ever invested in the markets and business doing what society deems as a worthless job. Also as I explained earlier, I live a very modest life. I live with my parents and drive a very...

Didn’t we already go over this? Right now I’m filling in for the day for my friend who owns a store in the local mall. 30 feet from me is the kiosk that I owned for 6 months. I worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and invested over $25,000 to see that business succeed. Do you think I had a...

No, it means your argument is dead.

Every job I mentioned above I deemed required the same or less skill, risk, and investment than pizza delivery. Millions of Americans young and old do these jobs. They are not just for students and young people. So if we are going to continue with your philosophy, you are condeming millions of...

You got it. I can’t save like I used to. I can’t comment on people in Europe, I don’t know anything about the way things are there other than they seem to have a lot higher taxes and a lot of social programs. You’re right, if I was able to save X $’s, then a higher level job...

So you mean bad people win and good people lose? Suddenly everything is starting to make sense.

The title of this thread is “why don’t American’s save?” After 26 pages, just about the only thing we’ve established is that I’m a lazy Communist who wants everything given to me. I’m trying to talk about my and others issues on why we aren’t saving. I used to save a $1000 a...

Well I’m sure Wal-Mart takes advantage of the tight labor market, just like a lot of other employers. Good point about Costco. I’ve heard that’s a decent place to work, yet they still offer very low prices to their customers.

Ok I’ll admit I like Wal-Mart. If I want to buy something and don’t know where the cheapest place to go will be, I just go there. Usually the best place is eBay or Amazon, but somethings can’t be bought online. But are Wal-Mart’s prices low simply because they import so much from China...

Isn’t it sad now that we now have to decide on a career not by what we like or may be good at, but what jobs can’t be outsourced? That’s really sad. Pizza delivery can’t be outsourced! I think you underestimate a little what illegals can do. Also it’s not just illegals that tighten the...

Thank you for this. You are right, it is our monetary policy that is messed up. I contend that the creation of the Federal Reserve and Nixon taking us off of the gold standard is the single greatest theft in human history. There is little I can do about this, so of course the only way to hedge...

This is exactly what I’ve been doing and saying that I’ve done, you just don’t want to hear it. I chose to start other non restaurant business’s instead. Unfortunately they didn’t work out. That’s the way it goes. You don’t think doing this day in and day out 60+ hours a week is...

Well the webcast seemed to calm a lot of the fears, but they forgot one important thing. The other deals they talked about that they said didn’t change them, seemed to be all partnerships or licensing deals. This is an acquisition. After they buy you, they own you. Sure they can keep...

I’ve been doing it all day in my demo account fine, but not my real one. When I place 2 server orders in the demo and then manually OCO them and then API cancel them, they both cancel. I use the server stops in my real account all the time and OCO link them all the time. Usually before I can...

Holy moly. Shreddog and Euler, if you guys were here I’d buy you a beer. That worked perfectly. Why didn’t Sterling suggest storing the unique dated id as a variable? That’s brilliant. Because they say when you use the api generated id, you can’t use it again. So how can you repeatedly...

Wow I can’t believe they sold out. I thought they were better than that. I don’t have any money in my TOS account now, but keep it open for when I want to trade with them again. They are great about that and still let me access the software. How long do you want to bet until TD does away...
