you cannot prove this, as they are false assertions -- the second for sure, the first one, most likely. in any event, I used the term "deeply religious," referring to Lincoln. Perhaps you shoud read a few biographies and decide for yourself. the bible clearly states that God did what God...

because they were morons. perhaps not unlike Hitler, who used the bible to rationalize his perverse hatred for Jews. why don't you consider Abraham Lincoln, a deeply religious man, whose character and convictions formed in the crucible of hardship (endured in faith) gave him the backbone to...

I have to recommend the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0964695227/002-9562826-5420022?v=glance&n=283155"> "God in the Pits"</a> by Mark Andrew Ritchie on this subject. Imho, religious people, of course, are not immune from the stresses and strains of life. On balance we...

I have heard that the 30 yr pit is "deserted" owing to the electronic market. Is that so? What about the other bond pits? If there are traders in the ring, they must be arbiraging the screen traders, correct (at least some of them)?

oops. I stumbled onto the paranoid ward.

hack, that helps -- thx.

xdiver, that link didn't work, and I don't see anything called "RTD" on the 'plugins' page. Do you have another way to it? Thanks, apc

what a shock.

well, there's nothing that the mentally challenged hate more than being asked a question that they can't understand, much less answer. so it is, as usual, with front end software people. tired of going through layers of them and wasting precious time in 10 minute blocks, I figured I'd just...

let it be so. in a couple of years, we'll be paying 5 dollars a barrel.

You forgot Punxatawney Phil!

That's little pig thinking. TS system writing and testing engine used to be an awesome product -- but the last time I used it was before the added the order entry platform.

this is, apparently, a simualted thread.

i think liberal arts majors make better traders... /blanket statement.

futures, yes. now <i>there's</i> a topic.

saw where ... oh, nevermind.

me too. I just clicked on this thread 'cause it was recently posted to. I was scrolling, came across that line and thought, "kewl." Imagine my surprise when I saw that I wrote it...
