    What does gun violence really COST

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle The Calif desperadoes seem to have been using the Colt AR-15. This could not have been a full automatic version (select fire) because you need a special Federal license to have a fully automatic rifle in the US. I presume it was the semi-automatic...

    What does gun violence really COST

    "Every single rifle is semi-automatic" Couldn't be farther from the truth. E.G.: http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/centerfire/336c.asp The Marlin 336 is a classic hunting rifle for big game. i.e. bear, deer, moose...etc. I have a 336 30-30 in my closet. It only holds 6 shots and cannot...

    COP

    Well I got a slow start yesterday and missed the open but today I WAS there for the open. So far... no luck on a fill. Still the bid/ask on the spread makes a fill possible. I will leave the trade in the market for the remainder of the week and see if I catch a fish.

    Should corporations pay tax?

    Well, with the PFE/AGN merger pretty solid I am still amazed at the lack of response of the financial community as expressed in stock price: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AGN http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=PFE...

    COP

    The bid ask spread on those strikes is -.09 to .46 with a last of 40 - 11 = $29. So the fill of $35 is optimistic. Actually the $35 comes from OptionsXpress which uses a 'secret' algorithm to get the suggested fill price based on fills that COP options were experiencing on...

    Should corporations pay tax?

    How has the financial community viewed the PFE/AGN merger: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AGN Which is a very muted response it seems to me, considering PFE is looking at paying $370-$380 a share http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pfizer-allergan-merger-break-fee-215009364.html Note that Zack's...

    How I pick the month varies. Shorter is always better, but you need enough yield to make the trade worth commissions etc. Also volatility of underlying plays a role, plus how long the current news about the company and the market make likely the current distributions will last. Also... while I...

    Should corporations pay tax?

    Actually I agree with you. It's obvious that the tax laws are seriously flawed, and the responsibility of Pfizer's management is to maximize shareholder value. It's called capitalism, and to expect the management to have some kind of 'economic patriotism' to make up for the flawed laws and...
