An atheist preaching the gospil of Vegananity? Seems like many of the world's problems fundamentally boil down to some self-righteous sect telling everyone else that they're wrong and screwed up and then trying to change them or extinquish them if they don't change. Personally, I love...

Watch a couple Jerry Springer shows and you'll rethink that :)

Trading the S&P emini and OEX options isn't exactly "diversifying" is it? If it's just that you're looking to trade options, have you looked into trading the options on the index futures instead of dealing with equity market index options?

A negative fair value differential (i.e., futures premium) indicates that the expected interest rate to the banker/broker is less than the dividends to be paid during the period were you to hold all S&P500 stocks in the correct proportions. HL Camp shows their planned buy/sell premium levels...

Maybe at least a few people actually read the press release and realized there wasn't anything in it except "forward looking statements" (aka smoke and promises of what they might be able to do).

Hype over the weekend (apparently word hit Business Wire late Friday) is that they "believe" they "will be able to develop" a test and that they "believe" they've found ways to potentially block prions. Nothing about them already having a functional test or treatment - just comments about their...

Dear Diary... For my fortieth birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I am still in great shape since playing on my college football team 25 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a...

Except that the QQQs are NOT an index. They are an EQUITY FUND that "tries" to mirror an index by buying the associated stocks. But they are classified as equities, hence their options are classified as options on equities - NOT options on an index. There are real options on the NDX...

No - we're banning a guy who was proven (and now after all these years finally admitted) that he violated the most important abolision in baseball, not to mention a key clause of his contracts (with clear and definitive repercussions). As far as Sosa - none of the investigations could show...

To be fair, you'd have to differentiate between simply being a Muslim and being someone with the goals you cite. The two are not synonomous - anymore than seeking the destruction, devastation, and subjugation of others could be considered mutually exclusive with being a Christian (just check...

There are other players (who didn't break the league's long standing cardinal rule) that aren't in the Hall even though they certainly have the numbers to belong there, e.g., Ron Santo. And how do you know that he didn't bet on baseball while he was a player? He's had such a long history of...

Probably technically correct in some states, but has anyone been prosecuted and found guilty of battery for spitting on anyone? Will grant you that it doesn't matter if technically it's on the books it's a crime, just curious if you know of any prosecutor that would waste tax payer dollars...

Spitting on an umpire is WORSE than betting on the game or even drug use?? That must be an interesting scale you're using.

Interesting self-imposed spectrum ranking of the choices. BTW, it IS possible to be conservative without being lumped in with the Gingrich/Lott gang.

Gore may have finally acknowledged (although not sure I'm prepared to give him that much credit) that he'll never be elected to the Presidency. He may have created the internet (he's a legend in his own mind), but his shot at it is gone. Hillary would most likely want to see a weak Democrat...

1. Combination of indicators (some price/time, some price/volume/time) in agreement. 2. Know when NOT to take the trade - even if you've got an alignment of indicators, it's clearly risky to take a long trade when you're just short of a resistance level (or a short trade when just above to...

Agree with you that there are a lot of players that deserve to be banned from baseball for everything from drug use to battery. Unfortunately there isn't a league rule that you can't beat your wife. But there has been a standing and well known king of the hill rule that if you're in the...

I understood the Green Company guy was saying they do NOT qualify. What "expert" is saying that QQQ options do qualify for 1256 treatment? And even you exclusively traded QQQ options - you still would NOT be trading derivatives on a broad-based (or any other kind of) index, because the QQQ...

Don't believe I said it had anything to do with HIS integrity. The rule was put in place to try to prevent players betting on the game and thereby further besmurching the integrity of the GAME. Rose's integrity isn't at issue. His flagrant disregard for a standing cardinal league rule (one...

It's pretty obvious - options on ETFs like the Qs are the same as options on any other equity (the ETFs themselves are merely equity securities regardless of what securities they themselves turn around and invest in). The Qs are simply equity shares of a fund that in this case attempts to...
