The girls are hot, but my rule is: If the information is going to my little head rather than my big head, don't trade on it.

People who wanted real change voted for Ron Paul. People who wanted the left wing version of the same-old, same-old voted for Obama. People who wanted World War III voted for McCain/Palin.

I'll believe that Jim Rogers is a joke after you have made more money in your trading than he has.

Which is why so many people who buy gold also own guns and bullets.

Actually Republicrats and Demoblicans spend money on pretty much the same stuff - entitlement spending and endless wars.

"Get spending under control and immediately follow presumptive Speaker John Boehner's leadership and go back to the 2008 budget level, which would save about a trillion dollars over ten years. This will send a clear signal that Congress is serious about righting our nation's finances, and set...

Well, that's a black Republican vs. a black Democrat, so it's not surprising the black Democrat won 90% of the black vote. Show me a race where a black Republican runs against a white Democrat.

We could test this hypothesis by looking at races where a black Republican ran against a white Democrat. But such races are scarce as hen's teeth, and finding one where we can get the relevant polling data would be very difficult indeed.

In the rigged system known as American democracy, getting almost 10% of the vote is very good for a third party candidate.

Who voted for Alvin Greene? Remember that there was a third party candidate, Tom Clements. Here are the results with the percentages of the total vote: http://www.politico.com/2010/maps/#/Senate/2010/SC Jim DeMint 792,133 62.4% Alvin Greene 358,276 28.2% Tom Clements 118,952...

No doubt it *is* a gerrymandered district. But I never hear Democrats complain about it when the gerrymandering is done to their advantage.

Compared to Alvin Greene both Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell are towering intellects. And no, I'm not a member of the Palin or O'Donnell fan clubs.

So you want to be ruled by a total moron, not just the usual half baked moron.

This won't affect retail traders. They don't have "naked" access, as the broker checks their orders. Sometimes my broker (IB) has strange ideas about what's unsafe. IB let me sell a credit spread with a $3000 margin requirement (and a $3000 worst case loss) but would not let me buy a CCC...

Obama does not deserve a second term but we can count on the Republicans to nominate a candidate so repugnant (Palin, say) that Obama wins anyway.

I also have no idea what lodging stock to trade options means. But the synthetic equivalent of a call calendar spread is the put calendar spread at the same strike price and expiration months. And vice versa.

Aluminum from the airplane would not form nano sized particles. It would not be found intermixed with iron oxide in a silicon matrix. You have not given a plausible explanation for how smashing a plane into a building would create those red chips. You are right that I don't have a technical...

Oops, I hit submit before I was finished... Anyhow, you are right that if a broker only allows debit vertical spreads and someone wants to sell a credit spread they would simply buy the synthetic equivalent, replacing a margin requirement with a more expensive option spread. So there's no...

Of course for the credit spreads I was talking about the usual case where both options are OTM. A debit call spread that costs 0.70 with OTM calls is indeed synthetically equivalent to a credit put spread at the same strikes. The net credit for the ITM puts should be about 0.30. However...

"Stupid" is an adjective. Only stupids think it's a noun.
