    Chinese Tycoon Aiming to Buy NY Times Has the Best Business Card Ever

    The beginning of the End.... for China... Reel'em in boys... Let them overpay for US properties, then when the Chinese economy implodes from all the bad loans, buy back the properties for pennies on the dollar... Just like we did with the Japanese in the late 80's... Lather, rinse...

    Microcap Traders Punk'd With 100% Interactive Brokers Margin Hike

    Maybe the FOMC minutes release has something to do with it.... Seems to me IB is anticipating a sharp downdraft, and is protecting itself before it happens by forcing you to lighten up now instead of begging for your cash later....

    Can "Joe Retail" switch to the big time?

    I don't have the book handy, but I think you are correct. This was in the 80s. He worked exclusively with Fidelity funds, and he found a way to reliably predict what today's NAV was going to be. So he kept shifting funds from one Fund to another. They eventually told him to go away... I...

    Tax Benefits of Starting a LLC or Corp for Retail Trader

    First off, you only have $20K. Prove your system works first. Whatever returns your system generates will most likely not compensate you for the time, money, and complications you introduce pursuing biz structure/tax savings. Build the business first, then worry about maximizing tax...

    Anyone tried x1 to x16 converters for PCI Express?

    1. Need to figure out a way how to mount the card for adequate air flow 2. Seller is reputable, but it ships from China, so you have the shipping time and Customs charges to deal with 3. You can't return it if you're unhappy. 4. Price + shipping +Customs charges > New Egg solution.

    Anyone tried x1 to x16 converters for PCI Express?

    The reviews are 100%. For $27 + S/H, might as well try. Not losing much if doesn't help - just time and S/H costs

    Crowdfund a trading account?

    Should Female marines be required to do at least three pull-ups?

    Not if the bigger foe tackles the smaller fighter, and knocks them off their feet. Smaller fighters off their feet are at a serious disadvantage due to weight. Smaller fighters need room to move and gain advantage from their agility, quickness, and greater endurance.

    Should Female marines be required to do at least three pull-ups?

    You're kinda stating the obvious... A trained fighter of either sex can knockout 99+% of the population, male and female. The only iffy prop is the small fighter/very big male combo...

    Cashiers At A Taiwan McDonald's Reportedly Dress In Skimpy Maid Outfits

    Other than the PC crowd (i.e. the overly socially conscious women and the boys that love them) complaining that it's sexist and racist because *real* women aren't that young, that cute, that skinny, that Asian ??? Not that I have any problems, though the pink frocks are a little over the top...
