    Supreme Court Makes Up Another Right

    Ok, I'll weigh in. I think the SCOTUS decision was correct. I believe a person's personal information and/or data, phone records, location data, etc (in most cases) should be subject to 4th Amendment protections. The exceptions would be any data provided directly to the government (tax...

    Putin be like....

    Well, they're friends. No Dirt. The Democratic party got in the way. Anyway, Trump probably averted WWIII (at least according to the Russians).

    ET gone to the dogs

    It seems to me that the worst thing to have, would be to have a bunch of folks doing nothing. If you have a lot of inexperienced folks making lots of mistakes, then that actually provides information, especially if they talk or gripe about it. As Seinfeld once said ... “If everything you do...

    Why is trading so difficult?

    I would think it would have been much easier to turn a profit in the mid to late 90s, than now. If you could not turn a profit in the 90s (can anyone say "internet"), then I think it's nearly hopeless now :(

    How was ET back in 2008?

    The world financial system very nearly collapsed on 9/18/08 (several days after Lehman filed for bankruptcy). That's how bad it was. http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-world-almost-came-to-end-at-2pm-on.html

    Brits took final step to ensure that child dies per the State's plan rather than the parents

    "ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Quote from the last great Democratic president. If Democrats championed this, they would hold all the levers of power. The Presidency, the Senate & House, all the state and local governments. But they don't.

    Koreas reportedly ending war.

    Frankly, I didn't expect to see this in my lifetime. If it really happens, I don't know who to credit. I'm sure Trump deserves a fair amount of the credit, but perhaps the Pyeongchang olympics were also a factor and maybe China just got fed up. I'd sure like to hear an interview with Kim...

    According to Wikipedia, Scandinavia is composed of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. " The term Scandinavia in local usage covers the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, but in English usage, it also sometimes refers to the Scandinavian Peninsula or to the broader region which includes...

    does it work

    Who knows ? But better to assume that it does not. Anyway, if you have a strategy that "works" in one market, why would you want to attempt another ?

    Execution speed

    Well, getting a fast fill far away from the market doesn't really help you, does it ? I would think a better question would be, how close to the market was my fill ?

    Too bad about Loyola. Being a Purdue grad, I naturally hate anything having to do with Mich.

    basic question about taxation

    I think it would depend on when the loss occurred. If in the same year, then your net profit would be 0, and you would owe nothing. If the loss occurred in a following year, you would owe taxes on the $ 10k for the year in which the profit occurred, but you could deduct the $ 10k loss forward...

    What is death like?

    I wouldn't know :) But probably depends on the circumstances. Some might be dead before they know it (war), some might take a long time.

    For a pro-life party, you’ve killed a lot of kids

    You would think the question would be is he/she a psychopath rather than is he/she dem or rep. But I digress.

    For a pro-life party, you’ve killed a lot of kids

    You're assuming that being pro-life and pro-NRA are highly correlated. I don't know if that is the case. A nd even of they are, the NRA provides a lot of services to the public ... firearms safety to name one. Do you really think that someone who is pro-life would go into a school and shoot a...

    My mistake ...

    Update, his worker's comp came through last year. Since then, he's paid me all he owes, and making rent payments on time (sometimes early, in fact).

    Happy Birthday

    Yea, strange that she started off as a drummer. Lots of guys back then fell in love with her voice (myself included). American Idol has nothing on her. One of the most recognizable and beloved voices in history. Rip Karen Carpenter.
