Indeed. But perhaps if public sector employees were effectively paid to get efficient, we could get closer.

I think the feds are moving in this direction. Have you been keeping up with the latest on the Air Canada flight attendants situation?

Agreed. The more losses for Vick the better. I paid $100USD for great seats 6 rows from the field. I think this was somewhere in the mid-range for ticket prices there.

What is funny about people smoking pot for medicinal reasons?

Nope. I was at the Bills vs. Eagles game Sunday in Buffalo, though. What a party! Vick fans got it pretty bad from the fans at the stadium...

I think intervention is inevitable at some point if the situation continues as is. I've been shorting the JPY in small increments over the past couple of weeks going long USD/JPY and this week AUD/JPY. These positions are quite small, but I want to be exposed in case the BOJ decides to do...

They'll be back the absolute minute there is a drawdown.

My mistake. In any case, I am skeptical of global warming to say the least. Although it is not clear what is causing climate change (humans? natural cycle? The answer is debatable), it is clear that the climate is changing. But I am not convinced that is a bad thing. I'm not convinced...

We could use a little ice-melt in Canada. And hard to find someone who doesn't want cheaper oil prices. Avereage temperatures set to rise? Great! Winters are damn cold up here. Can someone explain the negatives of global warming to me again?

:D Some are never pleased

:D I like it! Long live capitalism and small government!

I sincerely hope this post was a joke. I know the intelligence level on these boards is minimal at times, but this one really stands out.

I would be INCREDIBLE. I live in an area close to both Buffalo and Detroit. I'm a huge Bills fan. All kinds of both Bills fans and Lions fans near me, the party would be epic.

Would every road be a toll road then? How does the average citizen pay for use, if not through taxes? I'm just a little confused on the logistics of it all, if it's not finance by the government.

Took profits on this bad boy strictly due to not wanting to get greedy and see a retrace. I would have no problem putting this position back on if EUR/CHF comes back down. Put on a small USD/JPY position @ 76.607. I sense some dollar strength in the short term.
