Thoughts? Only one, the only one you deserve: You're a clever writer. Oh, this too: Now you're on my Ignore List.

I think that was a candid, possibly brilliant (in its brevity) synopsis. It is my contention that the essential underlying philosophical error, the thread that is common to both Right and Left, is their unbridled commitment to altruism rather than rational self-interest. (Altruism is the...

Great comments from you, too. Thanks.

Hi stu, Thanks for your warm comments. I don't see it as a struggle. I intend to make use of the ignore feature to help manage my optimism. I've done so several times already. I've been recently thinking of ignoring YOU, because I have ART on the list and you've been quoting him so...

If I'm understanding you correctly, I think perhaps you've focused on the legal "Rules of Evidence" (note the caps) and, as a code, its nuances for determining relevance in a court of law. As one example: http://expertpages.com/federal/federal.htm If that was your intent, then yes, I'd...

Hi nononsense, Thank you for your clarification re: proof. Thank you also for your other gracious remarks. In standing together that it is impossible to disprove a negative (or arbitrary assertion), and therefore not useful in discourse, I think we've raised the bar for those who...

Agree 100%. The tape doesn't lie. No need to look to invent conspiracies. The ES traded in a tight band from its Globex open at 4:30 PM ET the day before until 6 minutes before the release of the report. It never varied from a tick or two on either side of settlement. And then six...

Fantastic idea! I'm relatively new to the site but was already getting tired of the click and scroll jumps. This will smooth out that process tremendously. Thanks for identifying it and taking the time to mention it. And thank you, Baron, for considering it.

Rules of evidence require the burden of proof be placed on those who assert the positive (in this instance that "god exists"). The fact that in your post you are asking for "it" to be "disproven" tells even a newcomer to this thread two things about how you choose to represent your mind in...

The clock excuse is a lie. Let's keep the context: We're talking about the most waited for economic report this week (the one that has kept trading in a narrow range for days) AND we're supposed to believe an institution like Reuters didn't have its computer clocked sync'd? Retuers...

Ditto this sentiment. It's been solid for 7 years of my use.

http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=68349&ran=22767 I grieve for him.

I just heard on C-SPAN that one of the men killed was Scott Helveston, former Navy SEAL. Some of you who remember the reality show "Combat Missions" (popular a year or two ago) will recall this amazing guy, perhaps with fondness as I do.

Very cool. :cool: BTW, even those who want to dabble with automation to see if it suits them would be served well by AutoTrader initially. It added a sockets interface (http) recently so that a home-grown app can write to it in a standardized format and initiate trades. No need to learn...

eSignal for data feed only (though its addition of JavaScript for custom apps is slowly tipping the scale into making it a one-stop solution for charting, too). Investor/RT for charting and research today. IB for trading platform. NinjaTrader as its front-end. Second and third...

Damir, There is an excellent free Linux graphical front-end for IB called AutoTrader. Here's the home page; go to "ScreenShots" and scroll down to the bottom to see if it looks interesting. You can click on the image itself to expand it. http://autotrader1.home.comcast.net/ Regards.

Really?! You took 58 minutes to write that?! Did you spend most of that 58 minutes trying to decide whether you'd venture into the rarified world of ET flaming? Or, did you immediately pour out 3 to 4 pages of insults in the first minute, then tirelessly (and expertly, I might add) in the...

Thank you.

That's a definite possibility, although a highly immoral one, if done without financial hardship. I'd also question how many boomers could actually elect this; it's not an insignificant step. I think the average Jane and Joe still have enormous emotional and philosophical hurdles to overcome...

Madison, ratboy88, thank you. :D I'm just noticing a few of the puzzle pieces. Don't know yet where they fit in to the bigger picture. But they do, somehow, because there is a lot of energy being expended to effect the fundamental shifts they are focused on. Regards.
