    I've never taken an IQ test, but played football in college and got a 48 on Wonderlic. I am still in contact with a friend from undergrad who scored a 35 on Wonderlic and is a major hedge fund operator and has an amazing 5 year record. I never equated discretionary trading or poker skill with...

    I had a similar path. 29 and semi-retired from "pro" poker (NLHE and PLO) to trade full-time. No bracelets, but 3 top 10 finishes. I had a bit more to start, but threw 80% in munis and put the remainder in an interactive-brokers account. Built a one-year return and then joined a fully-staked...

    Right, Joe, I get it, but she owns the car legally w/o insurance, it's a classic. She's not licensed to drive. Thankfully, as she's 90yo.

    Health Care Passed

    You're not forced to purchase insurance on a car you own but don't drive. I see it as a potentially efficient means of distributing the costs of the uninsured, catastrophic liability. Why should the 21 hick who breaks his neck riding a quad be covered under uninsured hospital care simply...

    It showed strength at 227 as well. I made 11k on the last short, given about half of that back here, but will get stopped at 228 or partial cover at 220.
