    Who will be the Dem candidate?

    Then you probably don't care for the Bush administration either? Putting that aside, the lack of candor in general has always been one of the more objectionable parts of politics for me. However, I really do believe we have reached new lows with the current administration. I have no idea...

    Cheney To Bow Out Before Rumsfeld ?

    This is rather pathetic... Here are just a few examples: 1. The IAEA told everyone that Iraq didn't have WMD's. We have now verified at enormous expense in lives and money what was already known -- that this was true. 2. The administration cherry picked the data it liked and ignored...

    Who will be the Dem candidate?

    I was hoping for something a bit more responsive -- especially as I think the reasons are different. For example: I dislike Bush's policies on: 1. Environment: because he is killing us with his relaxation of the pollution regulations, not interested in conservation of energy or any...

    Who will be the Dem candidate?

    Just out of curiousity, why do Republicans hate the Clinton's so much? It seems a rather visceral reaction for so many of them.

    Hold on adding to Strategic Petroleum Reserves

    If he had announced that the SEC was hiring 20 new staffers with Wall Street experience to investigate trading in oil we would have seen a collapse in the price as opposed to a drop. :D

    Economic Implications of Iran having the bomb

    First, I don't remember saying anything about socialism. So you're off topic there. Second, can you provide some backup for that assertion as it sounds to me like you are just shooting from the hip.

    Economic Implications of Iran having the bomb

    I disagree that the US "needs" the money "that" badly. It could always start a few less wars or give a few less tax breaks to the wealthy... basically give up crony capitalism as a way of managing the government.

    Economic Implications of Iran having the bomb

    Is it supposed to be a good thing that we export so much military equipment? Are you suggesting that providing others with a way to have bigger and more deadly wars is a good thing because it stokes our economy?

    Simple ES Market Model

    I appreciate your candor. Given a net of $240 and an 80% win ratio that's a 6 point gross move. Taking an average of 5 signals a day that's 4 winners @ 1.5 pts and 1 loser @ 1 point. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me but the system really must be quite accurate to generate an 80% win ratio...

    Simple ES Market Model

    ATSTrader, If I follow what you are doing this is a mean reversion system using a tick count to determine short term oversold or overbought conditions. I have a few questions if you don't mind answering: What were you using for profit and stop loss rules? What kind of expectancy...

    BBC News - Why China’s influence in Brazil is setting off alarm bells in the US.

    There will always be a supply. Look at prohibition in the US. Even the Taliban couldn't eradicate the heroin trade. I think you are being a bit idealistic here -- odd thing to say to someone espousing a conservative viewpoint. :) Cocaine and Marijuana used to be legal back at the turn of the...

    BBC News - Why China’s influence in Brazil is setting off alarm bells in the US.

    If there is no demand there won't be a supply. If you legalize it you can control demand locally. Drug use is a darwinian selection issue. Having said that, please don't attribute the farce of a drug war by the US to any actual intention to wipe out the drug trade. Iran Contra proved that beyond...

    Windows XP on Mac,Its official now.

    With something like 5% market share AAPL can afford to appeal to the tech geeks and do quite well -- not that I agree with your statement. It's hard not to respect a company that made so many mis-steps over the years but still survived. If they had opened their hardware architecture back in the...
