No, what I just had a "momentary look" at is a messianic leader promising his followers the ability to walk on water. Since you are fond of odd analogies, let's play rock paper scissors. Your promises of secret knowledge and arcane ability are the scissors. Your ability to obfuscate...

My mistake if I mischaracterized your position. I guess I'm confused, though, because you do appear to present yourself as a teacher. If the message is that one can learn via process, that perfect practice makes perfect, then it does appear that something is being taught: the ability to...

I don't have a page 12. My post display preferences are set up differently. Which, oddly enough, highlights part of the issue: you seem to assume that everyone sees the world the way you do. I don't recall suggesting that teaching "doesn't work." Of course teaching "works" in some...

Verily I say unto you: I, Grob109, am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can get to the Profits except through me.

You - Gorgeous... Me - A Gamer... - m4w - 25 Reply to: anon-134426482@craigslist.org Date: Thu Feb 16 10:27:01 2006 It was last Friday. I had just gotten up from a SWEET game of Warcraft on my PC. Anyway, I realized I was dangerously low on Mountain Dew, so I threw on my lucky green...

240MM is a drop in the bucket compared to the insane amounts of hedgie money sloshing around... with all those successful careers he launched, Vic could have ginned up that much in sympathy cash. He's probably running money exactly the same way as before. If there were a way to hedge naked risk...

Well said. In a similar line of thinking, it's been said that there are only three types of trade: breakout, reversion to the mean, and arbitrage (carry trade). An exceptional trader works hard to develop an innate sense of which 'mode' the market is in, and acts accordingly in real time.

This seems to be one of those oft-returned-to questions that has a straightforward and not very mysterious answer. If you look at trading like a professional sport--baseball, basketball, golf--the parallels fall into place. Most anyone can become a decent golfer / YMCA b-baller / member of...

I think Toyota is getting something of a bad rap here... the huge success of the Prius took them by surprise too. Once the buzz took hold, they would have been stupid not to capitalize on it from a marketing perspective. And who should really be surprised that the first generation of any...

Anybody driven one of the new Lexus hybrids? I heard they really kick some ass -- that the Lexus hybrid actually has better acceleration than the non-hybrid version, thanks to extra boost from the nickel hydride battery pack. Toyota isn't saving the world or anything, but hybrids are...

"The whole world's comin to an end, Mal." "I see angels, Mickey. They're comin down for us from Heaven. And I see you ridin a big red horse...and you're drivin the horses, whippin 'em, and they're spittin and frothin all on the mouth, and they're comin right at us. I see the future. There's...

Sure, that makes sense. Correct me if I am wrong, then, but it seems fair to say that the hostility of many atheists is the result of an anger response... a lashing out in disgust, if you will. It seems also fair to note, then, that while disgust and anger are often justified, they are...

I guess... though an atheist, agnostic or theist label could also apply, depending on which metaphysical path one takes... no matter what certainties we entertain in regards to 'reality' and what reality 'is', there will always be a lacuna separating perception of X and the ontological existence...

Here's a thought: is it possible to love God without having a concrete notion of who or what He / She / It is? Maybe God is a sentient being with a specific book of truths to tout, or maybe not. Maybe God is a spontaneous emergent property born of collective consciousness. Maybe God is the...

I'm considering managing an IRA for a family member and don't have much familiarity with the rules there. Three quick questions: Can you manage a family member IRA through the FFA system? Is 2:1 equity margin available for IRA accounts? Also, can you trade options on the long...

Like, listen, man, that's cuz you're not privy to the new shit...

Um, yeah, me too. The notion of Tom Cruise and John Travolta taking over the universe is deeply depressing. And what happens if the eternal restraint battery fails, allowing Lord Xenu to break out of his Planetary Prison? He's supposedly still alive, you know, just waiting to pull that DC-8...
