Just to clarify, if you want the market up, you want the Giants to pull the upset and if you are a bear, you will want the Patriots.

I heard on CNBC the other day that 81% of the time that if the NFC team wins, the market finishes higher that year and if the AFC team wins, the market finishes lower. I think this correlation is probably due to the fact that during the 70's when the AFC was dominating the NFL, was a horrible...

Are we a wealthy country because of our military, or do we have the stonget military because we are the wealthiest country? I would argue that it takes economic superiority to have and maintain military superiority.

What is your definition of "trading on price" gnome? Market Profile, chart patterns, tape reading, trend lines, etc?

I've been trying to figure that out all thread.

Russell Simmons would definately fall into that category. Probably 50 as well. Not sure about the others.

Yes. I had (he died about 10 years ago) a distant relative who made millions trading grains. He was a farmer on the Iowa/Minnesota border and you never would have known that he was worth over $12mm. He did all this before the internet was available. I don't know how much of his wealth came...

You could hand 10 of these guys $100's of millions and half will be bankrupt in 10 years. Maybe I'm just jealous, but it seems like way too many of these guys don't handle their wealth all that well.

You may want to have a back up plan for when/if they get foreclosed on. I would kind of suck to get a notice one day that you have 10 days to find a new place to live.

That guys loves passing the blame for the mess that he helped create.

You're probably right about that, although to a degree, I feel like the American people do not want to hear the hard truth. They typically prefer the message that sounds the best to them. Dems love to hear their politicians say they are going to give them more free stuff and punish the...

Well even though he has no shot at getting the nomination, or even a consideration for VP, I'm still glad he is running and taking part in the debates. If nothing else, he is still getting the message out. If you keep beating the drum, eventually it sinks in to people.

I immediately withdraw it and buy myself a big ol' gold watch or new rims for my ride, etc.

You're damn right. Super Tuesday is right around the corner. Not that it will matter much as Ron has no chance of winning. Unfortunately, most Americans have no time for reality or the "tough medicine" that is going to have to be swallowed if we are to have any chance of surviving as a nation...

Have faith guys. I know it looks dismal at times, but I do believe there will be a conservative revolution in the coming years. And when I say conservative, I'm not talking about Bush/Cheney's (and virtually every other Rupublican) watered down socialism and nation building. I really do...

I am actually fairly encouraged by Ron Paul's staying power. He has actually done OK in the early primary voting. Considering he was completely unknown and the media and Republican party has a big distain for him. Hell, even Fox News tried to bar him from the SC debate. I will continue to...

There is a big difference between defeating countries militarily and maintaining them as we are now doing in Iraq. From a military standpoint, we destroyed the Iraqi military in a matter of a few days. With that said, I'm not arguing that we should use our military might to keep our economic...

Is there any way that you could alert me the next time you make a trade?:D Just kidding. By the way, I have nothing to be cocky about either.

You've been registered long enough to know that serious discussions are few and far between. I agree with your point though, that there is way too much crap on here, although there is some entertainment value with that type of stuff.

Tell them the truth. People get fired sometimes. I know many successful people that have been canned before. From what I read, it doesn't sound that bad. You were consistently profitable and were never given the guidelines that you were fired for. Do yourself a favor and tell the truth...
