Do you really think other currencies are any better? politicians everywhere overspend without worrying about the future consequences. I don't have the spreadsheet on this computer but OECD has available information on the financial position of it's member countries including the EU as a whole...

http://www.apfn.org/apfn/WTC_STF.htm If you don't believe the US government had anything to do with 9/11, what about the Israeli Government?

that's how it's done. The ratio is currently 1.7 ZT / 1 ZN

The only reason there is so much violence connected to the drug business is because it's illegal. Prohibition did not work for alcohol and it will not work for drugs because of the same reasons. There will always be a demand and at a certain price there will always be a supply. The violence...

Have you seen this site? http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm This is the document that declares (pg63): Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event –...

from CBOT: Options cease trading on the last Friday which precedes by at least two business days, the last business day of the month preceding the option month. The 30th & 31st are the last two business days so that makes expiration on friday 5/26

I read the article as well but for me it made a lot of sense because I've been thinking along those same lines. That no central bank alone can really affect the economy when all national economies are now linked more than ever. How would a global business be affected by the fed raising...

You forgot to include "Remove government regulations" as a choice. That's the only solution.

You can't be serious!?! And how could they possibly do that? There's less than a 100 day supply in the SPR. The government is the cause of the problem, not the solution.

Actually, I might have been thinking about accounts. There is an IRS form(TD F 90-22.1) that you are supposed to file describing any offshore bank accounts or financial accounts that you either own OR control.

That's completely different. Based on foreign laws you can set up a foreign corporation. But according to IRS regulations, if you are a US citizen or resident, they want to know about it because foreign corps. have special tax treatment in the US. In your example your talking about an US...

Well let's see...you guys control all of Hollywood, most of wall street, banks, the legal system. I think as a group you've recovered from persecution pretty good. :D

Like all tax matters it comes down to a definition. In this case, what do you call voting control? If you are the one making all the trades then technically you have 100% control even if you only own 9%. But once again, how are they to know if you don't tell them?

IB would be doing business with the Cayman entity. The point is that due to IRS regualtions if you own OR control an offshore account you are supposed to report it to them. But the truth of the matter is that if you don't report it, no one else will either.

excellent point. The jews are missing out. If they had stayed scattered around in different countries they would be dominating the global casino business. Just joking guys. :D

Well OT, I do believe in inheritance but nobody inherited any land in Isreal. I only went back as far as the Ottoman Empire, which controlled the area until the League of Nations entrusted it to the United Kingdom to administer in the aftermath of World War I as a Mandate Territory. It was...

OptionTrader, That is some excellant info and I have to admit I've never read the bible so I wouldn't have known any of that. Thanks for the summary. (seriously) I'm assuming you're religious from that posting. I am not. And I know of no precedent in which the bible was used as a...

If the land had been purchased they would have every right to be there. But the jews did not purchase the state of isreal. Do you have info to the contrary?

Well Iran has one very good reason for wanting an atomic bomb. Just having it would protect them from a US invasion. Iran saw what the US did to Saddam and what the US hasn't done with Kim Jong Il. And when it comes to Isreal, what right did the west have to create the nation of Isreal...

The iraqis were stealing their oil.
