what is so crazy about saying- if you levy punitive taxes on us we'll relocate. hell i'll do the same if the US starts to tax too punitively.

based on your previous post i think top salary was somewhere around 60k ~ at 33% pension assuming only staying 20 years and leaving that would add an additional 20k / yr from pension alone before adding benefits- now factor in how many people work longer (because most people don't retire at 43...

interesting how our monetary policy is slowly breaking china, eventually they may even be forced to unpeg their currency.

i know all the doctors i know love to see government workers because they have the most cush insurance plans (besides other doctors that is)- benefits are never taken into account when government workers get all huffity-puffity trying to defend their outrageous total compensation packages...

once upon a time the poor worked, now they sit on their ass and watch cable tv while eating a bag of potato chips, complaining that their checks aren't big enough

always better if your opponent thinks you are bad at what you do- just ask OMGclayaiken i also notice that you can't tell me what part of my position you disagree with. is it the part where i think you should be able to invest your own money how you see fit? or the part where i say that if...

+1 if you had the wealth of bill gates there should be no issue whatsoever with you putting every dollar you have in silver if that is what you want to invest your wealth in (hell you should even be allowed to do it at 10:1 leverage if you wish). it's a shame so many people want to rid...

sure i go all-in several times every day, it's just that my $ stop out for the day still limits me to a 4% drawdown / day. don't go all in on a trade if you don't have a plan for where you will be all-out if you were wrong. there is no such thing as the nuts in trading in my opinion- because...

isn't that what anyone thinks when they put an investment on, either i'm going to take money from the bears or bulls, depending on your position. i'd rather have someone working for me that wanted to kill the guy taking the other side of the trade than put his kids through school.

it's their way of cutting the queue at any price. ie. there is an offer for 200,000 which they are 10,000 contracts on citi at 4$ or whatever, if you buy, they get to cut the line and take your liquidity where in any fair market they wouldn't have gotten that liquidity- +rebates for them, same...

yeah that was the one idea i had, usually at the top or bottom of a medium-to-long-term range they blow out the fy to get more liquidity in the long end because they know in the end that'll be a winning position anyways (ie. short fits will be a winner if this is a med/long term bottom and we...

i am already loving it, although i trade the curve for a living so maybe i shouldn't be as happy as i am.

i got crushed in some zt-zf-zn fly's i put on as the auction came out and i saw us rallying- anyone have any idea why they were so weak? i can't remember them getting that weak before, even during 08-09 i don't remember the fv getting that far out of line.

well since i think the fed is in general a bunch of dumbasses and they are fighting to keep a bubble afloat- i assume they will go with (1) and double down until they are broken by the markets.

they claim to look through them first and try to minimize the loss of life that identifying informants around the world causes. i think a hundred sources were identified from al qaida that gave the us infomation and likely all got their heads chopped off from the war documents.

they train you i assume? or are you just doing your own strategies? if they train you it isn't that bad- hard to find better than 50/50 these days without at least some of your own capital at risk imo- even with a good track record. the fact that you don't have any capital at risk is great-...

if china's currency is pegged to that of the US and is offering much higher interest rates than the US- how can an investor simply buy chinese bonds to take advantage of it? is there any easy way to do this?
