That is an understatement!!! :)

I don't have a slogan, but just an idea for one. Come up with a concise way of stating that Elite Trader is where Einstein and Fasterpussycat can both be quoted. An equal opportunity forum kind of thing.

Yup! My ideologies got me in a lot of trouble when I was young. As we mature, things get into perspective a little more easily. Like I mentioned a short time ago for example, when LBJ was president, I hated him. Now I think he was just a tragic figure who actually meant well. "No way around...

I find Daniel M very interesting. I would not ignore him. Though I often disagree with what he has to say, I admire his way of expressing himself. And I think he is an intelligent and knowledgeable guy. He makes cohesive arguments, and does his homework. I saw him in action on a thread in which...

Calling themselves "socialists" didn't make it so. China is officially the "Peoples Democratic Republic". They are neither democratic nor a republic. Nor are they about the People for most of their short history. But they have the bomb, so we should be careful what we say about them I suppose...

Well, looking back, maybe I should have been (just a little). But like most of us, sometimes we feel things aren't exactly as they should be, and our temperament isn't as even as we would like, and our tolerance for accepting what we must isn't what it needs to be. And maybe it is wise...

Hey, life goes on, and both my boy and I are stronger (if not better) for it all. But like rigel says: These are words of REAL wisdom. Maybe that's why I can trade stocks....because it's just a game that to me doesn't really matter. And it sure ain't 'cause I'm rich....I am certainly not. I...

Me, I wanted to take Chinese, but I couldn't find loose leaf paper with the lines going vertical:)

Absolutely! History proved (for lack of a better word) that socialism was a failure in the Soviet Union. Now obviously the Soviet Union's failure had many contributing factors having nothing to do with the premise of their economic system as it existed in theory. And a look at what has become of...

Dan's stock has always been blue chip. With or without Sowell. But I would stay long Vlad too. Healthy competitors. Strong fundamentals with both. One cannot resolve a disagreement that is essentially based upon theory vs. history. History always has more unknowns come into play than are...

I thought this is what I said:) And I never read an economics book in my life. It's just common sense. Yo Publias, It's never "simple" once the Dark one gets his 2mmmmmmm cents in:) He wanted praise for refraining, but lo and behold, he couldn't control himself! Such is the nature of our...

Well, it was better than holding 'till now. Wouldn't you have ended up an owner of COMS? There is no perfect entry and no perfect exit. I know I told this one before. I was long VERT overnight. Opened up 9 pts. Sold it up 12. Ended the day up 70. Last I looked, it was trading under a dollar...

Dark, I don't read this to be about defending communism. Unless I misunderstand, he was talking about the ideals of socialism and that they have merit. Which in theory has some validity. But, in practical terms, it has certainly proven to be an unachievable goal. I believe it is the nature of...

Yup, we have been remiss. Horrible day trading for me. Had C overnight, along with some other assorted garbage, like MSFT and AXP and IBM. Oh well, think I will have a long weekend and regroup. And stop taking overnights for a while. Hurt me badly this week. Good luck to all, RS7

Oversexed rodent. RS7

Doesn't get much more inaccurate than this. That's the beauty of American free speech and expression though. You can believe, and even say whatever you like. RS7

Welcome back man. You have been conspicuously quiet. I always enjoyed your input, and always admired your convictions. It was so easy for all those to break your chops when the market was tanking, but I thought you showed courage and actually some reasonable logic for your stance. And I...

Just a little humor. Nixon was IMO not a very nice man, but certainly not a Hitler, Stalin, etc. He just was the face of what was wrong with America at the time (to me). But certainly not "evil"....at least not in the Stalin/Hitler league. I just couldn't think of an American leader. I should...

Well I don't know if they were evil. But Bismark was European, so he didn't belong on the list anyway:) RS7

What does this mean? Are you referring to Vladiator? And if so, what difference does it make where he is from? Who gets to choose where they are born? Or to whom. If I had my way, I would have chosen rich parents. And they would have been the King and Queen of Fiji, or someplace exotic. Not...
