It is a myth that the Great Depression did not end until after WW2. Economic production went up sharply, and unemployment decreased significantly, well before 1939.

The overall market trend has little to no relationship with the intraday trend. In a bull or bear market, overnight action (gaps) make up most of the move. In terms of intraday, there is no trend. Added up over many hundreds of days, the sum difference between open and close is nil. Holding...

LOL--still holding on to that birth certificate conspiracy theory?

Right now, 730area is in my sights. 942.75-797.50=145.25 876-145.25=730.75. Buy orders on June contract at around 734. Until then, sellling on rallies and covering on panics.

Hi, Princessa It is not MY measured move. It is a tried and true part of technical analysis. http://www.goforex.net/goodman1.gif

I support HIGHER estate taxes and LOWER income taxes because I value hard work, not handouts. Taxing labor penalizes those who work and work hard (like those who work for a living) Not taxing inheritance rewards those who are lucky not to have to work (like Paris Hilton). I am curious...

Parents should pay their children if they expect them to work on the family business. If they don't, then they are exploiting their own children. Why do the children "deserve" it? Because they share the same DNA as their parents? I worked in my parents home growing up doing chores and...

It is amazing that you are unable to articulate ONE good reason to abolish the estate tax. Your case has basically been I am an idiot (actually, I met my wife while both of us were members of Mensa) and that, boo hoo, you are going to put me on ignore. If you weren't so rude, I'd happily...

I insist only because the arguments for keeping the estate tax are so weak. Indeed, on this board, most of the responses, including yours, have resorted to name calling. If you want to persuade someone, it does not make sense to insult them. Logic might help.

Why should they get it for free? What did they do to earn that business? I support higher estate taxes and lower income taxes because I value hard work, not handouts. Taxing labor penalizes those who work and work hard; not taxing inheritance rewards those who are lucky not to have to...

The kids should pay for the business just like anyone else who did not build it would. Why should they get a free farm or business? I am not even more dumb (actually, it is DUMBER, as in "dumb and dumber") than you first thought, because you yourself have yet to think. You have merely...

Um, "double-taxation" is a hyphenated word. Itself it is not an argument, or even a proposition. Now try again. It really isn't that hard.

What does double taxation have to do with being for or against the estate tax? It is a red herring. Many estates do not suffer double taxation, and yet I get "double taxed" just about every day.

Instead of name calling, which a four year-old can do without any education and experience, how about trying to set forth a compelling, prima facie argument in order to refute mine?

His (or her) family did not EARN it. If they had earned it, it would be theirs. Why should they get it? Those of us who work for a living know that a strong work ethic is a core American value. Inherited wealth does not encourage work; it encourages sitting on one's ass. Estates are...

Obviously with the debacle in Iraq and the bailout(s), taxes are going to have to be raised on someone. I say tax the estates. Those who inherit someone else's wealth did not earn it--why shouldn't they pay more for their unearned income? If the dead don't like it, they can vote Obama...

Thread title straight from the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS.

Nice to see that reasoned, intelligent, and mature dissent is alive and well at ET!
