which is the most MORAL choice: 1. Attacking Iraq a la gulf war II, and getting rid of Sadam and ending the U.N. sanctions. ( the current stance of the Bush administration ) 2. Maintaining The U.N. Sanctions indefinitely. This is the status quo. Sanctions have been in effect for 11 years...

thanks for the link. Unfortunately I have been "initiated" to the world of otm options by taking losses this year :) I am sticking with in the money only for the rest of the year, or until i understand all this quant stuff, which ever comes first ( odds are on sticking with in the money )

I don't believe that there is any reliable way to determine the "value" of a contract unless it has some intrinsic value, in other words, it has to be in the money. I have used Black-Scholes, etc. and they work ok for i.t.m contracts but they suck for o.t.m. Way too many times I have been...

you've got to have the occasional big winning trade. That has psychological as well as monetary effects. One big winner can make the difference between survival and being a washout.

broadband is all that matters, let them eat bandwidth. In San Francisco in 2000, there were "charities" giving laptops with wireless internet connections to homeless people to "empower them in the new economy". Maybe Super-Ego is one of them. :)

Many people that are against an attack at this point are harboring some kind of resentment that has nothing to do with Iraq. A good example is TraderFut who thinks anybody in favor of an attack on an arab country is a racist. The rest of them seem to be so negative and cynical that they ignore...

js is right! hey , if your not going to trade, you might as well get famous.

wow, I was looking for that to happen but not so soon.

Ok Bryan and RS7, you people are losing it. You have no real argument and you are dropping down to the level of name calling. Your emotions have totally taken over.

lol, this thread is funny. they all smelled the chum and swam right over didn't they ?

Thanks darkhorse for your comments, especially about how gold can come back even without high inflation. Here is an article about Soros, about halfway through there is a mention of the dollar topping out and at the bottom there is a mention of the U.S. real estate bubble...

I used to work for LU. They used to be a great company, but they were destroyed by corrupt top management that are no longer with the company. LU ran out of cash in January 2001. They have been living on credit lines and new bond offerings and selling assetts ever since. They are hopelessly...

If the situation were flipped around, and I was living in a dinky country with a dictator and tough economic conditions, I would either join the opposition party or try to get the heck out of that country. I don't feel any sympathy for Sadam loyalists. If you think that Sadam occupies the...

Anybody know what gold is doing right now ?

we will see if it follows through to the morning. What is gold doing ?

Sadam is no dummy. But he sure as hell is evil. Also, stuff like "china will nuke us" and the war will cost $200 Billion, etc. is no different than the crap that was tossed around before the first Gulf War. America was supposed to lose tens of thousands of soldiers in "the mother of all...

U.S. skeptical of Iraq offer, to work through U.N. By Steve Holland WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The White House reacted skeptically on Monday to an Iraqi offer to allow the unconditional return of U.N. weapons inspectors and said it would maintain its efforts to seek Iraqi disarmament...

RS7, I don't think that a person is automatically unpatriotic because they might be a democrat. Also I am not saying my country right or wrong, I am saying my country is more right than its enemies. You apparently think differently, and I don't think you have any factual basis for that. If I...
