My own contribution to self-righteousness: going over this thread I see by way of the quoting mechanism that a certain idiot (in the original sense of the word; look it up and you'll see what I mean) posted that in a republic, property rights take precedence over democracy, or something...

Where's the moderator? You have to search to page four before you get to a thread not started by this guy. Somehow burying every other thread in a subforum doesn't strike me as being behavior that should go unmoderated.

SS is insurance, with a massive risk pool that makes it quite solvent if it's funded as it's supposed to be. It includes disability benefits as well as retirement benefits. It's meant strictly to keep you out of poverty, not provide a good return. The latter is up to you in your individual...

A substantial number believe that stuff. The majority - read that word slowly - think he's Muslim or fudge by saying they don't know. Words can't do justice to the bottom feeding nonsense people will believe about Obama. Alcoa needs to make better tinfoil. What they're manufacturing now just...

It's affecting the planet right now. peil is dumber'n'a bag o'hammers. Let's not let that condition become contagious.

Yes, yes, yes. You are in fact better looking, smarter, and entirely correct in all that you say, even if the world disagrees with you. Really.* *Do I care? Nah.

Matter of opinion. As to the economy tanking, we'll reconvene after Sept 15. Somehow I doubt that experience is going to be repeated. Even Geithner, corrupt and spineless as he is, is no match for the sheer stubborn stupidity of Hank Paulson.

You are NOT smarter than the market. How many threads have to be started about how the market is irrationally going higher before you finally understand this? Let's make this real simple: it's an election year. Do you really expect the economy to tank in such a year? Yes, it did under Bush...

Well, the politics of it does have to be understood. They wanted to unite Europe so as to not have another WWI/WWII thing happen to them. The idea was to keep Germany from dominating, and that was as true or even more true for Germany than it was for everyone else. They just didn't understand...

In other news (this one just went by on the news thingie on TOS): [/b]

:p :p :p :p :p :p :cool:

This thread is proof, if more were needed now that the euro has turned into the disaster it was always heading for, that a currency union is, internally, a zero sum game, and always winds up being a transfer union from the winner out to all the losers. In any currency union, there can only be...

On the evidence, he is. Breathtakingly stupid would cover it.

For ag stuff you'd be way better off asking RCG since he sees it firsthand. I'm just doing logical stuff off the data I see. But off the top of my head, just to maybe get a discussion on this started, I figure most of the news is already in corn, but probably hasn't really made its way into...

Is your reading comprehension that bad or are you just stupid?

I bought DJP last month. Mostly because of the drought it's been up nicely since I bought. It's on a winning streak last few days, with oil helping to push yesterday and today. CRB and DJ UBS, which DJP is based on, are now over their 50 and 200 dma's. Went through them with barely a pause...

Great article.

I was simply pointing it out as a benchmark. Not knowing what the normal vol is of the thing you're looking to make money on if you're playing with options is not really a good idea. It's simply the foundation on which you build your case for doing whatever it is you want to do. Different...

Hypothetical piled on top of hypothetical. The Duke case fell apart before the trial. Given the amount of attention this one has gotten, you can be sure if there were that kind of evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, given the enormous funding of the right-wing side of the media these days...

This, like so many threads around here, leaves me awestruck by its stupidity. There's always the pearls, but it does seem like the swine keep multiplying away....
