No, the guy with the raspy voice...Irish name I think. Does Kudow smoke cigarettes? I thought he just liked to subsidize the tobacco farmers. Trickle down farming:confused:

Hope you are right. I was a MM on the floor (admittedly a long time ago), and I just got the go ahead to trade options in my firm acct. So far, I have not made a trade. Just trying to get used to the platform and order entry. (only have it for 2 days). I truly believe I can make money trading...

Yup....if you are "trading" that size, you can make some great deals. Might be cheaper though to set up a clearing arrangement than to use a broker at all.

Since I make a concerted effort not to watch CNBC anymore, I forget the names of the players....but what about that guy that sounds like he sets his alarm while he's sleeping to get up and make sure he has a cigarette every 9 minutes?

ok thanks..guess it is on my end. :( Rs

Hard to believe that so many distortions of reality could fit into one paragraph! Please understand that I sympathize with the plight of today's Palestinians. But re-writing history is not the way to approach any kind of solution. Someone said that I implied that the jews were good and...

tried to open ET chat....my computer locked up. Black screen, and even the power button didn't work. Rebooted, and tried again. Same results. Rebooted and now afraid to try. Anyone have any answers? Is it my computer? Windows? Or is there a problem with the chat software today? Thanks, RS7

Today I walzed into my office having taken off for a few days. Low and behold, while my back was turned, they switched order entry systems to Redi Plus. (don't know why...) I am kind of confused. I sat with the tech guy, and he walked me through what he knew (so he has 3 days experience on...

Makes sense to me!! Koch would have done exactly that (IMO)

Yes, that is true, the "Persians" are not really "arab". Yet the fighting was shiite against sunni. One sect of Islam against another. Since all of the fighting has had it's basis in religeous differences, this was really what I was refering to. Sorry for the mistake.

The context is important. The jews defeated the arabs in 1948 only because it was their only alternative to their own defeat. They were attacked from all sides on the day the state of Israel was founded. And the Arabs (there was no such thing as "Palestinians" yet) did indeed leave. If they...

what secret? I was on the floor too, and we all tried to put on conversions if the opportunity was there. what you have to understand is that it was basically "free money" . since there is no risk, there is no capital requirement (haircut....or you might want to think of it as "margin" for...

bung, as always, you are on the money. These "leaders" the Arafats and Khadafi's and Bin Ladens and Saddams and the rest are no more than rich gangsters. If they lived in East Los Angeles, they would be doing the same things they do now. Just without the political protection they enjoy. And...

Sorry, I tried to address what you said here and accidentally lost it all. I will try again after the market closes if you are interested. Meanwhile, what points did I ignore? I will try and address them if I can. Let me just quickly say that we are both entitled to our opinions, and they...

How do you know about the "widespread popular support"? This is opinion is based on what? Certainly not the arabs that live in Israel. Do you think the indigent arab refugees are so polical that they live the way they do by choice? They would rather be homeless and poor and uneducated...

OK....Don't let the facts interfere with your beliefs. In what way were the "palestinians" forced to leave Israel? How come Israel is the only place in the middle east that allows arab women the right to vote? Obviously this is a rediculous argument, because the facts are clear and they...

thought that was already offered and refused!?! you are certainly right though about #1 never happening. at least I hope so.

thought it was about sharing information. not misinformation. if you are not interested in the difference then i guess it doesn't matter to you. in that case, what are you looking for here? good luck!
