    A good deal from a hedge fund?

    It is all about connections. I know a few people who allocate for fund of funds ($6B and $1B) and they have often suggested that I set up a fund even though my results are variable and not that impressive. Not interested.

    Recovering from a 'prop blowup'

    Ozzy's right, there are people making money consistently for the last several years so it isn't the markets. Good luck to all on their comebacks, I've been there and know it can be done.

    Salute.

    This is exactly why I have a strict $150K annual stop loss. Down $100K I stop trading for a month. I hit $150K I stop trading for rest of year. Good luck to you, even thought it hasn't happened for a long time I still remember how devastating it can be. Focus on your health and recovering...

    Google Guys Buy A 767

    That type of airline is long overdue. Surely if an airline offered just one transcon flight a day of that nature it would make money as I imagine that its customers wouldn't be that price sensitive.

    Best sports for traders

    Rugby if you are young enough and not prone to injuries. Real sense of camaraderie that is often missing in trading solo, and great way to pound out your aggression. Generally a great bunch of guys too and the beer nights are not to be missed. If you are too old or too sane for Rugby then...

    OSTK ceo

    I watched it all day today on L2 and the price dropped back to mid 40 after the 500K block went through above the ask @41.50 on about 10K shares. Then it came roaring back with very few shares traded. Just a few thousand shares would send it up .50c, a $ and the bid today was constant and solid...

    OSTK ceo

    Fly I hope you are in on this. Looks like things have started to get interesting. It is just amazing to watch it trade, just a few thousand shares and it pops a $ in less than a minute. If the momo money ever gets involved things could get very very interesting, the float is incredibly thin.

    Wi-Max?

    ALVR looks like a well positioned leader and speakeasy and clear wire should be kept a close eye on to see how their Wimax roll outs go (both privately held).

    The legitimate complaints against Bush regarding the response to Hurricane Katrina

    Boy is she behind the curve on this one, he isn't stumbling in either case. He has fallen and can't get up and no lifealert for the American people available until 2006/8.

    The legitimate complaints against Bush regarding the response to Hurricane Katrina

    When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities- Hume Like that of appointing a total fuck up like Brown to a position where he would potentially be...

    OSTK ceo

    Yes that is the CEO's dad who just made the big buy and will soon take over as Chairman of the Board (position currently held by the son). When you look at the whole story here and look at the financials (the Fool has put out some good articles, pro and con, analyzing them) and then look at the...

    OSTK ceo

    Yes but only at break even here as I bought my first lot around 44 and then doubled down when it was trading under $40. I am looking for $60+ by the end of the year.

    What happens, when you are short stock, which files bankrupcy?

    Why cover? You don't book cap gains if you don't cover.

    Now they are saying the Astrodome is full, God help those still left in New Orleans. If you haven't prayed for anything for years, pray for these people. God bless us all.

    I was just watching the report onthe people in the hospital and the thousands stuck at the convention center. How long does it take to get people in there? I mean we can fly across country in 5 hours, those people have been there without food and water for 4 days! Babies, old and sick people...

    2005 ... The year of the Black Christmas ?

    Why is it that conservatives place great faith in the common sense of people to do what is best for them when it comes to credit cards, guns, and healthy eating habits (despite "massive" evidence to the contrary) and yet when it comes to religion, justice(ie giving judges discretion in...

    Too many Doomsday predictions for there to be one.

    I think that there will be a huge liquidity pump to keep things stabilized until growth can pull us out of the hole. If the growth doesn't materialize or is insufficient then we will pay later for what we (central bank and large banks) are sowing now (and have been sowing for a while now).
