    Analysts

    Other than the persons who write the market analysis commentary for yahoo, I can't think of any group of individuals less valuable to the financial community than the analysts. But, that said, I am dying of curiousity: what does "Market Perform", "Market Outperform" and "NT Neutral" mean...

    What good do daytraders do to society?

    *************************************************** One of the reasons I am a day trader is that I don't have to drive a car every day, wasting resources that have taken tens of millions of years to develop and transforming the earth into a toxic waste dump...

    What good do daytraders do to society?

    *************************************************** All that self-glorious bull aside, life on earth is just genes battling other genes within each individual, within each species, and on the whole planet. Whoever says there is anything else to it is either a liar or part of the well over 99%...

    ************************************************* Ahhhh, back to the verb to "know". (which we've already established, no one can actually know anything, except for that one little fact). See you don't "know" that God wrote The Ten Commandments upon the tablets, you don't "know" that God...

    ************************************************ This is not up for debate. It's inherent in the definition of what the word "know" means in our language (and other languages for that matter). I'm not going to give you a lesson on Socrates at 1:00 in the morning...

    ************************************************** I don't even think if God left behind a statue that was ten miles high and wrote upon the statue "Christianity is the True Religion" that, that fact in and of itself would be enough evidence of the "True" religion. What the hell does a "True...

    I know those quotes don't prove anything. But to me it's like a jury saying to the judge, "The only thing we know is that we cannot come to a verdict." Or maybe a scientist saying, "The only thing I know is that there is no scientific truth." Why is it that there can be legal truth and...

    ************************************************** It may have not come across properly in the postings, but it true that there is only one fact which you can truly know (based on the definition of the word "know"). That lone fact is that you know that you know nothing (except of course that...

    ************************************************** Another inherent belief of mine is that generally the prayers that are answered are those to the benefit of everyone involved. For example: If I pray for the death of my boss, that's probably not going to get answered, but if I pray that my...

    But I agree with what I think is your major point. I agree that someone practicing Hinduism generally thinks they are correct and that someone who practices Islam thinks they are correct, etc. etc. When I was involved with the occult, I thought the same thing. But what does that prove? I am...

    But I have to go back to an important issue: the premise that underlies what you are saying is that beliefs really do not matter. In other words, it does not matter whether a person prays to Allah, believes in Jesus, worships a Hindu god, etc. I have to respectfully disagree. This makes...

    ************************************************ Yes and No. True, we don't all face Mecca and pray each day, but generally the major religions preach selflessness, caring for poor, denial of self etc. etc. Those are similar enough for me. *********************************************** Noone...

    I'll go with your dodge. Let's just say reincarnation is true for a second. And let's say that karma is as well and that our goal is to slowly perfect ourselves. Now let's contrast that with Christianity which says the exact opposite as I'm sure you know. Then contrast that with Islam which...
