But don't you get it? It doesn't matter how much the US has done for the world. It doesn't matter how much of the world is a shit hole! As long as the US ever makes mistakes, as long as the US isn't perfect, then the US is THE cause of all that is wrong! And of course, in many cases, the US is...

wow, you should talk with Sony. If they make one of those for real, WOW!! Everyone would be walking up and down Wall Street bumping into each other, eyes on their portable PS Trading console. Actually, with Summer coming, they'd be out on the beach or yachts with that system sticking out of...

Maestro, I actually never doubted your claims (although all ET claims should be taken with a grain of salt), but if you're inviting people to visit your office/venture, aren't you giving away who you are anyway?

I disagree. If Maestro REALLY has all that money, then he should think nothing of sending me a few hundred grand. Otherwise, you're all talk. PM me for the address Maestro! Don't worry everyone, I'll keep you posted about the status of the money. If he sends it, I'll be the first to admit that...

Who are you to talk. I bet you are wearing some used prada or something. And I bet you go to supercuts instead of going to a REAL stylist. :D

I thought they were sweet pics!

So the fact that I work without ever leaving my bed could give the wrong impression? What if I plaster my bedroom with charts? :D

wow, so no kickers, eh? Poor guys, they get no respect!

"U of I lineman." Is that U of Iowa or U of Illinois?

are you kidding? For $500 I'd do that too!

Let's just say, mid-day became Jerky Boys time. No matter how educated, no matter how old, no matter how successful, the stress of daytrading can turn even the most sophisticated into high school kids, if only for an hour or two.

Wall Street Firms Face Probe Over 'Squawk Boxes' From THE WALL STREET JOURNAL March 15, 2005 By Kara Scannell and Aaron Lucchetti Federal prosecutors are investigating whether the internal communication systems that broadcast confidential market information at several big-name Wall...

TheStreet.com 'Squawk' Probe Figure Spoke of Broker Access Monday March 14, 4:09 pm ET By Matthew Goldstein, Senior Writer An emerging figure in the SEC's probe of illegal Wall Street stock tips once tried to recruit traders by claiming he had access to Merrill Lynch's (NYSE:MER -...

TheStreet.com Ex-Watley CEO Has Checkered Past Friday March 11, 5:18 pm ET By Matthew Goldstein, Senior Writer John Amore, the former chief executive of AB Watley (OTC BB:ABWG.OB - News), a small daytrading firm that's embroiled in an illegal stock-tips scandal on Wall Street, was...

Buddy, they were announcing their customers orders (you know, the ones they have a fiduciary responsibility to get the best price for), announcing over the squawk box "100,000 to sell in XYZ" before they began selling, often naming the price they were gonna go to. Then a room of 100 daytraders...

In my view, that is the real problem and solution. Not to throw the baby out with the bath water, but rather to make the NYSE enforce its own rules. It is a good system, with good rules, that have not been adequately enforced. That said, many traders blame their poor trading on the specialist...

Band together? Most AB guys weren't real traders. The vast majority of the AB guys were brought in, as new or failed traders, ONLY to trade off this box. In fact, that was the rule starting out (you could only trade what came over the squawk box). And for whatever games on the NYSE floor, I can...

I agree with you generally, but on this rare occasion I have to agree with Hydroblunt that once in awhile, especially up until a couple years ago, there have been exceptional moves and circumstances. Nonetheless, the crookedness is worse on the NAZ, both between the MMs and such incidents as...

Please explain how I am being a hypocrite when I say that the more crooks taken off, the better, until the system is improved to get them all? And please explain your own hypocritical statement, which is that a small minority of daytraders illegally screwing many other honest ones is a "level...

Should we apply this to murder and molestation. Since OJ was able to buy his way out of a murder conviction, and Jackson was able to buy his way out several times from molestation charges (at least till now), does that mean we should no longer prosecute any murders and molestation? I...
