Wow, this thread just gets weirder and weirder. It has long ceased to have anything to do with options, over traded or otherwise.

If you stay mindlessly within the two party paradigm, you may as well vote for Stalin.

Gary Johnson might be the Libertarian candidate. If so, I'd vote for him.

The Democrats abandoned the white working class 30 years ago. The problem is that the Republicans have never represented their interests. So they have no place to go in our "democracy" that has one more political party than the Communists have.

Unlike Lucrum, I'm not going to vote for a slime bag Republican just because he's not Obama. If Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination I'm voting for a third party candidate. When you vote for the lesser of two evils you are still voting for evil.

Ah yes, the standard corporate bullshit. There have been cases where companies have forced their employees to train their own H-1b replacements (otherwise no severance pay), then fired them. Companies hire H-1b labor because it's cheap indentured servitude, not because there aren't Americans...

The only reason our taxes look middle of the road compared to those high tax, heavily socialized European countries is because we borrow such a large fraction of our federal spending. If we had the same level of spending and a balanced budget your income taxes would have to be more than twice...

Here ya go: 25F3F0EDEB288AA89C81E9E9#4DA77DA6 I promise that this is as random as any other 32 digit hexadecimal number with a # thrown somewhere in the middle. WTF you want this for is no doubt well beyond the understanding of my mere mortal brain.

Yes, I too have found that the rule of N+1 is the most reliable trading rule out there. All that's left is to decide the correct value of N. No doubt a piece of cake for bwolinsky.

Thanks <b>so</b> much for clearing that up.

I agree that they should be fined for putting that sort of rogue program online without adequate testing. Maybe next time the fine should be <i>bigger</i> than their market losses.

Yes, modern economic theory says that the government must get us ever deeper into debt. That is why modern economic theory is bankrupt. You will note that massive government deficits for decades have not caused the U.S. trade deficit to do anything but go up.

The bad oil trade caused by the buggy program cost Infinium Capital Management more than the fine levied by CME Group. Fortunately the market usually punishes the people who put idiot, poorly tested programs online though unfortunately innocent people get hurt too.

I hope you're being sarcastic. Otherwise, you're the only trader on ET who believes you should never short an asset.

The automatic spending cuts are meaningless. Congress created them and congress will repeal them. They're already at work on this.

And we all saw how when Obama became President with the Democrats in control of the Senate how the Department of Homeland Security, the TSA, and the Patriot Act were all disbanded and repealed. There is only one party, the Republicrats. They have this make believe split between the...

Obviously Chris Matthews is a racist, just like those Tea Partiers he loves to berate.

Who's illiterate? Social Security is already in deficit, and most of the baby boomers haven't retired yet. Social Security taxes must be raised <i>right now</i>, if you really believe that entitlements should be paid for by taxes. Medicare is in even worse shape. It is costing far more than...
