    Moveon.org has got to be shut down!

    Did they say that the instruments of Government should be used to stript them of their tax exempt status because they disagree with their political viewpoints? NO. How about that. If you don't care what they say about Bush, then what is your gripe exactly, that they are left wing and not...

    Moveon.org has got to be shut down!

    I feel that Hitler is without compare and utilizing his notoriety to attack another trivializes the Nazi era and debases Nazi victims. However, organizations that identify parallels between the operations of the current administration and those of totalitarian regimes cannot be attacked...

    All Religious People Have Schizophrenia

    is an old man. Maybe his hearing is going bad. It could have been that God told him that Bush will be re-infected, rather than re-elected.

    Oil and a spit shine. Yeah, that's the two of them.

    Dow will go down

    You are the undisputed market king, the trading titan, the supreme speculator, solitary in his greatness. You are also a schmuck. You know that one of the above statements is true, we know the other is true.

    Dow will go down

    Analyses like these are just plain silly. And everyone knows it. Variables are present that can't be anticipated and index movements can't be timed like Walther claims. Although Walther was wrong, he had a slim chance of being right.

    Tradesports and Democratic Presidential candidates

    This kind of stuff is very interesting. I have not followed tradesport but I gather the accuracy of the predictive value of the current odds decays over time, as events evolve. Do you have any anecdotal examples to share on other event outcomes that have been traded on Tradesport? I recall...

    Supreme Court Overturns First Amendment

    AAA doesn't like the Supreme Court's decision because it upholds a law Congress passed that goes against the grain of his beliefs, citing the constitution, but he excoriates the Mass. Court for denying a law, which abides by his creed, saying the court is writing law. For AAA, the court is...

    Homicide???....I think not

    Its not the fat that's the hot issue. It's two white cops subduing a black guy who refused to go down. HOWEVER, the videotape showed the fatass clocking the cop big time. The coroner called it a homocide, but said all bruises were superficial, and the cause of death was cardiac...

    What the hell - CECO

    Big quick moves in low float stocks often produce a vicious countermoves. CECO bounced two weeks ago after a violent selloff. So the fact that a stock has a made a sharp news driven down move should not automatically discount a reversal. However, waiting for the reversal to happen should...

    Worst order-entry error you've made

    You were likely deliberately rooked. Traders used to get in early and pre-market - offer for sale a stock that had closed at say 80 the day before, at 75. THe buyer thought the seller was making a mistake and bought it. But then the stock opened up at 40 because it split. The buyer was out 35...

    Why is mr. market allowed to continuously post crap in the "trading" section

    Good work. And he called me a monkey too. Silvain Gonorrhea can be a pest.

    What is a good percentage annual return for a day trader?

    Correct, it's nearly 210 billion. Time for mrmarket to take his remedial finance course. Apparently his much ballyhooed degree from Wharton and $1.50 will get him a seat at the local Starbux counter.

    What is a good percentage annual return for a day trader?

    Enough to buy four pounds of sirloin and ONE TON of brie! I don't think there is an industry standard. But the worst daytrader blows out in two weeks and there are legions of them. The best daytrader I ever saw was deploying about 1 mil at 2-1, and he was netting 1 mil per month profits in...

    What is a good percentage annual return for a day trader?

    Daytrading and portfolio management are apples and oranges. Daytraders have a minimum of 4-1 leverage, and prop traders have 10-1, perhaps more. Plus, they are using firm capital. Daytraders measure thier success in primarily points, fractions thereof and dollars. You are huge. And so...

    George W. Bush will go down in history as America's worst environmental president.

    It's a good point, but a constant exemplified in this thread is that the free market tends to not punish pollution but rather rewards it. Pollution is an inevitable byproduct of industry, but it need not always be. Let the free market continue to create cleaner fuels, cleaner industrial...
