I welcome differing opinions, even those with whom I disagree, and especially those of which I have never heard. So, OP, thrill us or bore us. Just get on with it. The entire ET board is your audience. Do you keep us?

The part about the free market and capitalism that hasn't been discussed is opportunity. Gates had all the factors going for him, not just right place / right time. He had wealthy, supportive parents. He had an excellent education. He was born with far above average intelligence and ambition...

.. and profitable.

Well, yes, I know. Those are the guys I'm trying to loophole. I figure a deal like this would get sewn shut in a year or two. Alternately, what investments are out there that are unattractive / underpriced for tax reasons that could be negated in a tax-free account?

I just hope that when America is finally in her wheelchair, hooked to a dialisis machine, on hospice managing the final days of pain.. that the world looks back on her life with glory and treats her with somber kindness and hallowed respect, and does not rape her of her last few trinkets of...

In one of my trading books, I'm too lazy to go search for it, the author talks about just this. He said that missing a move when your trading system gives you a signal is so painful because you asked the market to tell you what it was going to do, it told you, then it did it, and you didn't take...

Is it possible that the guys with the oil tanks already have taken this trade? The spread price may have drifted into contango because all the people who could profit filled up their tanks.

Aren't we all trying to add liquidity to the market and get paid for it? I believe HFT's just do what we do on a micro time scale. Example, I am a speculator and buy a share of X on Monday at 57. The seller is happy I was there to provide liquidity because the next best bid was 56, and they...

That video has very high production values. I wonder how many $100 bills it took to create.

Where will they go? Meaining, where will people park their money? Banks? Real estate? Bonds? Mattress? No savings, just spend it at all?
