    the FILM lounge

    The Birdcage with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Loved it. The insert in the DVD said that Robin Williams was offered the part of Albert, (the flamboyant crossdresser), but he turned it down to play the part of Armand because he wanted the more "straight" character thinking that the audience...

    Obama gives specifics on his tax increases

    This is what I've been waiting to hear. He is scaling the cap gains tax so that only people above the $200K threshold will have an increase. I HOPE I am understanding this correctly. My cap gains and wages from employment are below $200K, so I can now vote for Obama knowing that I'm not taking...

    Elite Trader is the largest trading community on the net.........

    I found this site while googling for information about an obscure trading book written in the 1930's. I started poking around on the site and found that it has in-depth discussions on many topics so I decided that I would move my "office" here. (I view this place as an office. I know, how odd)...

    98% of Traders Fail? Says Who...?

    I think paid gurus like to bandy that figure around because it implies that you will need their help if you want to be successful. When one of the day trading firms got raided in the 90's, (was it All Tech?), the NASD said that there was only one profitable account in the whole firm. But the...

    the FILM lounge

    I'm not big on going to see movies at a theater, too much time and hassle involved. The last time I went to see a movie in a theater was Brokeback Mountain. I gave a small review on it in the now nuked former movie thread, but it was very touching and I couldn't even get out of my seat for ten...

    More posts deleted from movie thread

    First of all, I didn't ask ~you~ what belongs in the thread, I asked you what makes you think I hate you when I don't even know you from Adam. Secondly, I've had two movie reviews deleted from the thread. Maybe Ivan "you don't have no rights here" Novich will answer me after you get your nose...

    Movie quotes are about movies. Where did you get the idea I hate you? I've never made a post to or about you. A little full of yourself maybe?

    More posts deleted from movie thread

    Hi guys, wondering once again why my posts were deleted from the movie thread about the 1960 movie Spartacus. Someone had put up a few choice lines from the script and asked if anyone knew what movie they were from and I correctly guessed after a google search. The posts were not off topic...

    Health Insurance

    I just took a look at Blue Shield of CA. They have a individual plan called Vital Shield 2900 for only $91 per month. The annual deductible is $2900, maximum annual copay is $5900. The quote was for a 43 year old male.

    Heroes Act 2008? Why isn't anyone talking about it?

    Not going to watch it, don't need to. anybody malastute enough to try to leave without sending their money ahead of them is too dumb to have money anyway.

    Boiler Rooms

    As long as you stick to the rules, everything you do will be legal. All of the brokers in my office followed the rules, there were brokers back in New York that were doing the churing and burning and they were the ones who brought the whole firm down. You can hype them up and even strongarm...

    Boiler Rooms

    At the offices I worked at, there were no cold callers to get leads for the brokers, unless the broker hired one himself and paid him out of his own pocket. I only know of one broker who did that. The rip on warrants was a lot more that with stock, and one broker took full advantage of it...

    Boiler Rooms

    I worked at two of them back in the 90's. One was Stuart James, the other was Thomas James Associates. I worked at Stuart for a couple of months but I quit after a couple of months without opening any accounts. Sometime later I tried again at Thomas James, but same thing, no accounts and I quit...

    Boiler Rooms

    I was wondering about this myself. I posted asking if anybody knew of any boiler rooms still out there in the movie thread while discussing the movie Boiler Room, but some mod deleted it. I don't get these mods.... Anyway, I just dialed the number of an old boiler room that used to be here in...

    If You Want To be A Thug, Punching People Randomly, Beware: Video

    We need more people like that old boxer. Most are too chicken shit to get involved. Remember that video of the off duty cop in Chicago who went behind the bar to beat up that female bartender? Not one of those POS drunks sitting at the bar got up to help. Apathetic people suck.
