I actually saw this go by this morning, bought and sold a put option quickly for a small profit (found money, why not?), and have been watching it since. Thanks for the post, I was wondering why it suddenly went down again after the statement came out. Time to trade it again...

No he didn't err. He just wasn't a coward: [/b] Diplomacy is dangerous business -- a fact Washington needs to remember Turning this man's death into a scandal is itself a scandal. Buncha rubes on this board.

Also, for the ten thousandth time (this is for the conspiracy loons) Benghazi was a consulate, not an embassy. Consulates don't get the security embassies get. In NYC there are consulates of foreign gov'ts all over the place. Very few have much in the way of security. They're there to service...

Funny. Also, I think when the full story comes out, you'll find some Gaddafi sympathizers in there. It looked at the time like vengeance for his fall to me; Stevens was in there helping the rebels throughout after all. I still think that.

None of this has anything to do with anything but your obsessions. I don't give a flying patootie what happens in China or Korea re education. Makes no difference at all in my life, and if their education is better than ours and it leads to me being able to buy better stuff, how is that...

Meaningless statement. Teachers are paid according to what each local district decides. There are tens of thousands of school districts, and people decide where to live based on the quality of the education provided, or at least that's what they do where I live. I live, because I have chosen...

So any caveman can be a teacher, is that what you're saying? This is a job that, to get the top salary, you have to have a Masters. You're not making any sense at all. Stop handwaving and answer the simple question before us: are you contending that a typical programmer is going to make 50k 10...

Oh please. That chart has zip to do with it. What does that chart have to do with your claim that programmers make 50k and can only look forward to that same pay 10 years from now?

Old enough to know that a programmer making 50k for 10 years straight needs to find another career.

Typical. You're a 1. loser... 2. ...who blames others for being one. Your numbers are laughably stupid.

Old Wall Street saying y'all might want to take note of: the bears have Thanksgiving, but the bulls have Christmas.

As someone on another forum I go to - a right winger, but not the kind of nut job that inhabits the P&R forum here - pointed out, the workers might have rolled the dice on doing better with whoever buys the assets. It might have been a poor choice on their part, but none of us were in that...

Ahem.

The USPS doesn't cost you anything in taxes. Nothing from nothing = nothing. Admittedly, if Congress bailed out the pension fund, it'd cost you. But not yet. My point is, and apparently this is going right over everyone's head: the Founders tried to specifically limit the money going to fund...

How we got here has a lot more to do with having a perpetual standing army. Getting back to the Constitution, look up what it says about appropriations for an army. It'll surprise you.

Halfway decent chance tomorrow IMO. Short covering before the weekend. After this week, there's gotta be a ton of shorts out there looking for a reason to cover.

:p We need a gobsmacked icon. Then again, maybe not.

You think 57000 on average across the USPS is a lot of money? Seriously? It's a decent salary for a working class person. That's it. The USPS gets no tax money at all, unlike, say, the Defense Department. So your typical right wing claptrap about servants being paid more than masters is...

The Post Office is in the Constitution. It unites the nation. There is no replacing it. Neither UPS nor FEDEX nor anyone else would do what they do. There was a time, actually only maybe thirty years ago, when this kind of thing was obvious. People weren't so intent on being unorthodox and...

Look at high dividend stocks. Not quite time yet, but there is definitely opportunity starting to show up in them thar parts.
