    "Government done shut down the #EBT cards"

    Didn't you hear that all the "welfare queen" stuff is a myth? These folks would gladly work in the fields all day like the illegal/migratory workers. But instead they stay on the dole because, uh, well, uh...

    "Government done shut down the #EBT cards"

    It's all Bush's fault. No, really. Just ask the smart folks in D.C. http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/matt-vespa/shutdown-bushs-fault

    Average ObamaCare price: $328 per month.

    Those poor souls. Standing in line for hours at air-conditioined welfare, food stamp, Medicaid and SS offices. Some days they probably only have a few hours to sit on the couch and watch TV. I just wish they could have a cushy job...like working in chicken processing plants or picking fruit in...

    Average ObamaCare price: $328 per month.

    He didn't deal with that question. It looks like he'd rather respond with logical fallacies (red herrings in particular). The basic idea is "Let everyone live as they please; someone else will pay for it." That "someone" is a producer. Incidentally, I've met many successful...

    Average ObamaCare price: $328 per month.

    So Japan and most of Europe are financially sound? What planet do you live on? In addition, Americans are much more unhealthy. Obesity is much more rampant in the U.S., and it's actually more dangerous than smoking. I just got back from overseas, and many Americans (who literally weigh...

    Poverty Impedes Cognitive Function

    Ok, then, let's just hand out millions to those below the "poverty" line. Of course, they'll blow in a couple of years, just like the lower and middle-class debt slaves who win the lottery. As for where this thread belongs, a trash can seems fitting.

    ProfLogic method - trading statement

    Just for amusement/curiosity, I looked up the "amazing dream house" he built a few years ago. It was valued somewhere in the $350 to $400K range. Clearly, he has a bit of money (whether from trading, consulting, "vendoring," previous jobs, spouse, inheritance, etc.), but I think he's far, far...

    The RSI ... modified

    Assuming you did it properly -- and it was robust and profitable -- then yes. There are still a lot of potential pitfalls with backtesting, but it would be much better than screenshots from charts. I've seen tons of indicators/systems that look good on a variety of charts but fail to be...

    The RSI ... modified

    That still doesn't prove anything. Design a set of objective trading rules, backtest test it over a number of years with hundreds of trades, then see if you have anything worthwhile.

    The RSI ... modified

    If predictive value was determined by "quick glances" at charts, all traders would be rich.

    hmm.no edges in the markets

    The main difference is that Hubbard managed to get a lot more followers, including celebrities. And he made a lot more money. dev is right. Despite spewing out tens of thousands of words on here, Jack has yet to produce a profitable system with clear rules -- or a shred of evidence that...

    13 year old brutally beaten by three 15 year olds on school bus

    You have to copy/paste the entire link...I'm not sure why it doesn't work right. Here's another link: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/08/06/police-release-new-photos-of-suspect-in-queens-stabbing/ It's definitely not PC, though.

    13 year old brutally beaten by three 15 year olds on school bus

    Here's another one. A Hispanic (or white, depending on how you want to spin it) girl attacked by a black dude in a white hoodie. Stabbed multiple times. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/new-suspect-natasha-martinez-stabbing-caught-camera-article-1.1418668 Obama's sons sure are...

    hmm.no edges in the markets

    Well, the mod doesn't want us to drag this out any more so this is all I'll say... 1) He's had years to explain this and, to my knowledge, he never has. Admittedly, I have better things to do than follow every Jack thread, so maybe I'm wrong. 2) Given his wild claims on how much money he...

    hmm.no edges in the markets

    But here's the key computation...and it may take a mind as big as Jack's to figure it out. 3 X ATR of upside * 100 contracts, every day for years on end Yet he can't take care of a measly $82K tax lien?

    I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

    Much of that is due to globalization and other factors. There's a reason companies hire folks in 3rd world countries and I don't blame them. Joe SmallWidgetMaker trying to set up shop is a completely different story. Go talk to some people who work and produce things for a living...
