    Is God a liberal or conservative?

    Regarding the views of Jesus on the matter of taxation, you may wish to read the following and replace "Caesar" with "The United States of America": Luke 20 21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but...

    Nobody to match Bush

    Although this statement engages a bit of hyperbole, I agree with the sentiment. I should also note that if one were to replace the word "democrats" with "republicans" I'd have thought the statement was about Richard Nixon in the late 70's. I guess the "hard-core", democrat or republican...

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    If the pair trade were to involve shorting TLT you may find it rather difficult to do at the present time. Too many people looking to short bonds it seems.

    suggestion: Mutual Fund partner for IB IRAs

    I've attempted to enter into put spreads recently in my IRA and TWS would not allow. I sent an email to customer service and they answered that the capability was delayed and would be available at the same time as futures capability. The good news: I notice that today is the first day that...

    Anyone see Arch Crawford on CNBC...

    From my fuzzy recollection it went something like this: The beginning of the decline in the real estate market was earlier this month. It will be most noticeable near its completion in two years. He’s reducing his 200% (margin) long position to 100% long and will go to cash July 7, 2003...

    The Surf Report

    My perception of this would be one of complacency rather than resiliency of the market, the marketing minds and the public. Rust never sleeps.

    Long term short Microsoft

    Is it in June that the Microsoft case is to be decided by the EU? Will "old" Europe engage the process vindictively? Will certain U.S. companies and states assist the EU with it's case against Microsoft? Remember GE / Honeywell?

    Exactly how stupid is Bush??

    Hmmm, it is my impression that the terrorists and dictators tend to specify the Vietnam "experience" as to how the US will react, which ended with a Republican administration (Nixon/Ford). It is also my impression that they point to how the US reacted to the Iranian hostage crises during a...

    Where the HELL is that fat bastard Cheney??

    Just add water and he shows up on Meet the Press. The statement in the scroll bar at the bottom of the attached picture is interesting.

    Forex Trading Strategies

    I noticed that the Euro futures dropped during the 11:00 AM EST hour this past Friday and then slowly recovered. I was wondering if this falling price action has anything to do with the settlement of the EONIA contract at 11:12 AM EST (16:12 GMT) on the LIFFE? If anyone has sufficient...

    technicals and stochastics are pointing upward

    I tend to agree with you on the VIX although I'd prefer the value below 33 on a daily close. However, it has been my casual observation that the VIX is less dependable leading into and during the week of options expiration. So I will be taking the VIX value with a grain of salt during this week.

    Bush's No Dividend Tax on small companies?

    This proposal appears to cover only C-corps regardless of whether or not the shares are public, at least that's my interpretation after reading through this document. http://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/dividend_exclusion_briefing_paper.pdf The last page covering organizational form is the best...

    Bush's No Dividend Tax on small companies?

    My understanding is that the dividends of all C-Corp's will be tax exempt but I can't find any written proposal with details. (I'm just picking up bits and pieces here and there). It also seems that Trusts (REITS, Royalty trusts, Exchange traded structured trusts) as well as Exchange traded...

    Bush's No Dividend Tax on small companies?

    So if the dividend tax is eliminated then we'll see many S-Corp's and LLC's convert to C-Corp's ?

    i can't stand this ahole

    Didn't the TV series "South Park" have an episode that trashed this guy? I seem to recall that one of the characters from the show had a face-off in front of a live audience to prove that Edwards is a fraud but then the character ends up getting praised with attention for his ability to talk to...
