    Election results: Nothing will change

    Yep, everyone who doesn't think like you is a commie. And y'all walk around wondering why you're losing. Anyway, under Bush, it was six years when he had control of both houses. Only in the last two years did the House go Dem; don't remember what happened in the Senate. So Bush, anyway, had no...

    Ocommunist won, now lets talk civil war

    Huh????? The NDAA is the authorization for the defense budget. One of 'em goes through every single year. If you're saying that buried in one of the bills for one of the years is the stuff you're talking about, which year?

    Did Nate Silver......

    http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/ He actually called for 313, with FL it'll be higher. But look at the map on the right, I can't find a mistake on which ones he called blue.

    atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

    Back from forced exile: Sandy. I see there are some folks who just can't resist being stupid. As usual, the light moderation here is letting them bring the whole conversation down. Some action, real action, would be highly appropriate here.

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    Priceless entertainment. NQ is, as I write this, down 1.25. ES down 3.75, as in, MORE than the NQ. Apparently, the concept of "priced in" just went whoosh over the heads of some of the posters here. Sympathies to anyone who lost a bundle on acting on the initial reaction, and congrads to...

    donald trump. the ultimate republican american hypocrite

    You guys are taking Trump seriously? Geez. See Colbert. That was the only correct answer to this serial bankrupt & insufferable ass.

    another supplement bites the dust. fish oil pills are a waste of money:

    It's been a month and a day, and the result this time is matching what happened the last time, although I didn't know it was the fish oil helping out the last time: I got a small rash again a couple of weeks ago, treated it with the Protopic. It was actually very small, much smaller than the one...

    That's nice. You're on ignore, since you quite obviously are unwilling to back up your assertions. Thanks and goodbye.

    The Elite Trader Free Stuff from the Government Thread

    Unless you're so far to the right you'd fall off the map, it's Democratic. Unless Republican is Republic. That's number one. Number two: proof, please. This ought to be interesting.

    Hmm. Apparently if you had a guy working for you who cost you your best customer, you'd promote him. Got it.

    A Presidency Squandered

    So, four more years of Hoover would have been better? No Glass-Steagall or FDIC, eh? Yeah that would've worked real well.

    The weekly: Greece to default/restructure THIS weekend? thread

    http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2012/09/tax-evasion-greece Blaming the political leaders is just scapegoating. The behavior of the independent professional class re their tax obligations is, bluntly, Third World, and the rest of Europe knows it. Greece does need to leave the...

    A Presidency Squandered

    Really? I've only begun. Let's see, the last time the economy fell into a ditch as deep as 2008 was 1929. As I recall, when FDR took over in March, 1933, the economy was at a dead stop. That was three and a half years later. Three and a half years after FDR took over, where was the US...

    atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

    Yeah still holding them. Mostly I want to observe that behavior, as I've never actually been long puts on the VIX. No better way to find out what you're dealing with than to be in them. The frequency distribution of the VIX is Pareto-like, and given that I'd like to see what happens as the VIX...

    Ah yes, Victor Davis Hanson. Where have I seen him before? Here: [/b] That was him in 2007. The actual reality of what was accomplished in Iraq finally surfaced for real about a week or two ago: [/b] ...and this: [/b] The reality is Iraq has wound up an ally of Iran. Some of us...

    Holding out of sheer curiosity. Not a big position, so no biggie if it falls apart, just want to see how it all acts. I did sell the 15 puts, btw.
