    Remembering mike-claire (ET nostalgia)

    Anyone remember that wacky "italian" (frenchman?), mike-claire, who came here complaining he was "threatened" by IB? Lol, what a classic that one was. Anyone have any other ET "classic moments" from ET's 'Golden Age'? Personally, my favorites were the ones where hitman used to go at it...

    Do You Think Like A Serial Killer?

    I'd tell you, but I see you signed up in Jan '03. Too bad for you, you missed out by one month from being a member of the fabled ET class of '02. This one's for insiders only.

    Am I reading these commissions right?

    Oh, christ man, it's pretty simple. Commish is .001 (well, for the volume monsters). In and out = .002 ECN (for eg) = .003 In and out (taking liq) = .006 .002 + .006 = .008 roundtrip. For the normal (sane?) trader you're looking at .003 X 2 + .003 X 2 = 1.2 cent round trips.

    Do You Think Like A Serial Killer?

    *Groan* (Hehe, and then, when you were older, it was you that was the butt of every second joke! Bum-ching! :D) (ET oldtimers know what I'm talking about! :D) EDIT I just checked my calendar and -- yup, just checked it again -- I do believe that 18 months have recently passed...

    Do You Think Like A Serial Killer?

    Oh sure you're not that desperate. So desperate you're even dropping off topic hints on chit chat ("only 27"). Face it, the crest of that hill is fast approaching. You know it and I know it. Fortunately, I'm 27 too (which is ok for a guy) and look, I'm on holidays in my homeland and if I...

    The French Paradox

    Europeans! In eastern europe they still make "monkey" noises at black players in soccer matches.

    NYSE traders in Australia

    For all practical purposes just as good as what you have in the US. (Well, that was from a year ago, but I doubt things have gotten worse since.)

    Islam and Wife Beatings?

    Oh, oh, but what about that texas hick who hit his wife last year? Don't forget about that one.

    Islam and Wife Beatings?

    Nope, dead serious. You? Look, I know it's wrong to cheat on your wife. Ok? But, one night...out with the boys...yada yada...and the deed is done. I admit I fucked up, feel bad about it yada yada yada. Joe routinely cheats on his wife, thinks nothing of it. Hey, Allah said I could it...

    Islam and Wife Beatings?

    Oh bullshit. "Immaterial" huh? What people believe or say they believe is of no importance at all huh? Couldn't possibly have any effect on behavior huh? Rubbish. Fact is jack, that people who say wife beating is A-Ok are, by all but the most culturally relativistic standards...

    Nope, I'm spect8ing. But you know, I have a feeling that people trading from dial-up are losing a lot less money than broadband traders.

    NBA Fever??????????????

    Anyone rate the pistons a chance this year? Like everyone else, I had my concerns about wallace but he seems to be working out great and the team seems to be maintaining its "coachability". Imo, this is a stronger team than that which made the conference finals last year and looks to be a...

    Bring back Maverick74

    Listen, can you fellas like, um, take your private banter elsewhere? I'm on dial-up from here and it sucks waiting for the page to load only to read some preteen privvate joke like "hey johnno, eat a dick you loser". Okay?

    Liberals are really starting to piss me off

    Yeah, I totally understand Aphie. Liberals sure can drive a guy up the wall. The way they're forever bitching and whining about something that's not perfect in this world. And how they have all these grand (but hopelessly delusional, unrealistic and unworkable) plans about "we should do...

    Under the shadow of the Iraq war, Israel practices asassination....

    Bring back Maverick74

    Maybe you're right. Still, doesn't change the fact that waggie acted like a little bitch. So what if Mav asked me for my phone number? Lol, if I wasn't too busy laughing my ass off at such a dumbfuck request I'd tell him to go fuck himself. End of story.

    Spain pulling out of Iraq

    Spain's involvement in Iraq was extremely unpopular at home and the opposition no doubt would have run on an antiwar/withdrawal platform even if the Madrid attacks hadn't happened. That a withdrawal is going to take place in the wake of those attacks does work (very well) to give the impression...

    Islam and Wife Beatings?

    Major assumptions? Like what? ** "Rearden, I know man, more than a few skeletons in Islam's closet. " Is that a major assumption? Um, no. ** "Thing is, as much as we might wish it to, that religion isn't just gonna disappear into thin air." "We" as in Rearden and I; a major...

    Waggie, what a piece of shit you are. Calling Baron and threatening lawsuits. Lol. Does get any more juvenile? Unbelievable.

    Bring back Maverick

    I just heard Mav had been banned over some spat with waggie. Although I don't know the particulars, this seems rather extreme and a definite step in the wrong direction. Although I've had my (very minor) disputes with Mav in the past and I think he beats a dead horse more often than is...
