    obamacare levels the playing field.

    I've attacked the unjustified cost that is Obamacare with nothing, but facts. I'm still waiting for the progressive response. In summary: - 30 million people will still be uninsured under Obamacare according to the CBO - We spend more in public health care already than countries such as...

    obamacare levels the playing field.

    Both public and private health care spending as a percentage of GDP need to go lower. If Obamacare actually accomplished that he wouldn't need to institute a 3.8% capital gains tax on income over $250,000, which I'm almost 100% positive will not even generate the revenue to pay for the program.

    obamacare levels the playing field.

    I really don't understand why we can't cover everybody with the money that we already spend. Australia lives very similarly to us, they cover everybody, and as of 2008 spent 5.7% of their GDP on public health care while the United States spent 7.4%. They spent 2.8% on private health care, we...

    obamacare levels the playing field.

    Wasn't Obamacare supposed to provide universal coverage? The CBO recently estimated that 30 million people will be without health insurance. I wonder how much they're taking into account the amount of employers who will scale back their employees hours so that they won't have to pay health...

    Why does the nurses union hate traders?

    http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/ They call it a Robin Hood tax. It makes up most of their homepage. I'm not really sure what it has to do with nursing.

    Why does the nurses union hate traders?

    It seems very strange to me as to why National Nurses United is so big on a financial transaction tax. What does high frequency trading have anything to do with nursing? By the way, don't these traders pay the same income tax as everyone else?

    Looking for a Reputable Prop Firm trading Options

    If you can self-teach yourself probability/statistics and programming then I really don't think it's necessary to go to college. Maybe take some courses at a community college to get started. I could be wrong, but I don't think that most people are using advanced calculus. However, if you're...

    Pristine's Advanced Gap Strategies Course

    Has anybody taken this course? It's taught by Paul Lange and from searching on this forum people have good things to say about him. I'm not sure if I want to shell out $1500 to take this course though. I'm very interested in learning how to day trade gaps. If anybody has any other course...

    Automated trading with Matlab

    I'm watching videos on their website so I'm learning. From my understanding Matlab is fairly easy to pickup, but learning C++ is very hard.

    Thanks. I have no programming experience, but I will look into it. I see that Esignal has historical data. Does anybody know how good that is? Perhaps I'll be able to use that.

    Automated trading with Matlab

    I purchased the student version of Matlab as well as the datafeed and financial toolbox. The financial toolbox looks good, but I'm not sure how useful the datafeed is. It gives me 3 options: Yahoo, IDC, and Bloomberg, of which only Yahoo works. I'm not sure if I have to pay to get the feeds from...

    For those that have taken the Series 56

    I passed with a 79. Study the Pass Perfect and CBOE Review. I didn't do the practice exams, but did the questions are the end of the sections in Pass Perfect. Some firms want you to take the 56 so the 7 isn't always an option.

    For those that have taken the Series 56

    How well does this study guide reflect what's on the test? http://www.prop-trading.com/finra-series-56-outline/ This looks like many of the facts that we need to know to pass the test. I like it, because it cuts out the filler in the CBOE and Pass Perfect which are hundreds of pages long. I...
