However, in general I do not consider the oldies to be goodies. On the contrary, I think acting has gotten better over time, and today's actors are better than those of yesteryear. I notice a lot of overacting in older movies, I remember seeing one old b/w western where the actors were...

You got me, I have not heard of the film. I wonder if there's a clip of that scene on the internet today that I can see?

Most emotional scene ever? Too hard to answer. Scenes where a beloved character dies are the most emotional for me. I never saw the play Rent on stage, but I bought the DVD. I don't like musicals, (even though I LOVE the music in them), and I didn't like this one very much either. But, the...

Good question - exactly what service do you need? I rarely need service from my bank so crappy service doesn't matter to me. The last time I needed service was a few years ago when I left my atm card in a machine. I don't think it really matters how much you have deposited in the bank, when you...

I had planned to vote for McCain until he came out in support of California's prop 8, which amends our constitution to ban same sex marriage. I can understand why people would be opposed to same sex marriage, but to try to ban it is another matter. So I will not give him my vote. Now that...

I don't think I've heard him mention any specific spending cuts, but he wants to do away with pork and earmarks. If he's serious, that would be some serious spending cuts. I'm not supporting him anyway, he's not getting my vote regardless.

I'm sorry the Jews are controlling you and are shoving, well whatever it is you are talking about, down your throat. If I could explain to you how I avoided being enslaved by the Jews, I'd give you a step by step guide to free yourself. But the sad fact is that I somehow escaped without even...

Wow, I thought a comment about the realism for a movie in a movie thread was on topic. I don't think I could repost something "more" on topic. Thanks for the reply.

Anybody using limits to daytrade with scottrade is already wide awake. It doesn't matter who they sell order flow to on limit orders, (unless NITE decides they want to fuck with you anyway). And if you stick to the top 100 most active stocks with market orders it still probably won't matter who...

In early 2000 before Scottrade clamped down on the PDT rule I ws daytrading with them. I did about 6 trades a day, I used the web based trading platform, (which was much different then), and I never had a problem with them. I didn't trade every day, about 3 or 4 days a week, and I didn't trade...

I replied to a post asking if I thought Glengarry Glenross was more realistic that Boiler Room. I replied that I thought it might be. That post is deleted. Could I please have the courtesy of an explanation and what TOS was violated? Thank you.

I also saw Boiler Room for the first time too. I used to work in a boiler room, two of them actually, back in the early 1990's. In fact, my first day on the job was the day Iraq invaded Kuwait. The movie was pretty realistic too, they obviously did their homework. The interview scene wasn't...

I saw it for the first time this week, I've actually seen it twice now. My favorite character was Shelly "the machine" Levene. Such a pathetic loser, you couldn't help but love him. The scene where he went out on the sit and came to the guy's house while he was soaking wet, then he crossed his...

I've been vehemently opposed to Obama because of his promised increase in the capital gains tax, and I had planned on casting my vote for McCain. But now I am even more vehemently opposed to McCain because he announced his support for California's prop 8, an amendment to our state constitution...

On Wednesday the banking sector rose 10.88%, on Thursday 5.75% and of Friday 1.41%. I'm not including real estate/mortgage stocks in this sector, or "space" as I guess it is now called, so Freddie and Fannie had no effect on those rises. I looked at the SEC order and there are only 19 stocks...

OK, I googled API to figure out what it was but I got bored and quit. I'll panic later.

CRAP!!! I was destroyed by an API before I even knew what it was! This technology stuff moves too fast for us old timers...
