    i found that the latest java (6 update 20) causes tws to have problems launching a web browser. ie, if you select "view statements" or "account management", nothing happens. i downgraded to java 6 update 1 and it's working ok now. does anyone know the newest java that will work with tws?

    Why do noobs make money?

    i remember the first game i bowled ever, without any training or anything, i had like 3 strikes. trading is like bowling. any lucky mofo can get a few strikes now and then, but to bowl 250+ game after game for years takes skill.

    Slower economic growth needs to be engineered?

    why do you guys insist on assuming that resource consumption correlates to population? it doesn't! it correlates to PRICE of the resource. case in point: rewind to summer of 2008 when gas prices rose to $4/gal and almost overnight, sales of high MPG cars skyrocketed and sales of SUVs...

    Slower economic growth needs to be engineered?

    you alarmists and pessimists need not worry. capitalism will ensure natural resources will NEVER run out. that's because as a material becomes scarcer, its price increases to the point it is economically more feasible to recycle it or to stop using it altogether. run out of drinking water...

    This Seasoned Bull Is Still Hornier Than Larry King Overleveraged On Viagra

    no, the reason the market didn't react much is because the GS investigation is a non-event for the broader economy and equities market. so what if they committed fraud? how does it affect other company earnings and consumers and the housing market if GS gets fined $20 million or 50 or even 100?
