Where is the proof that these subsidies brought costs down? I'm not sure how a farmer making more because of a subsidy actually brings costs down? From my experience, when the government starts picking winners and losers, costs actually go up.

I have multiple relatives and friends that are farmers and they are all multimillionaires. I hope you don't honestly believe that just because the government throws subsidies at ag and energy that somehow our food prices would be higher without the handouts to millionaires.

It's funny you mention Ted Cruz, when around 60% of the American people view it unfavorably. Including many of the unions now, who also want to keep their current plans. Also, you have Congress who voted for an exemption from the law that they wrote so they and their staffers didn't have to...

So the politicos can throw more money around to interest groups in order to secure more power? You're acting as there is a lock box for SS funds and what goes in goes out in benefits.

Ya, the pro sports = trading analogies are over played. Being 6'3", 210 and running a 4.4 forty is quite different than the ability to beat buy & hold 401k holders.

I'm pretty sure Brownsfan is one of the few on this site that know shit from shinola FYI.

I drink 1 liter of Diet Mt Dew each morning. I know it's probably destroying my liver, but I am not a morning person and I have mouths to feed.

That should be good for about 250 points on the Dow tomorrow

The word "mansion" is very relative, especially in Cali. $500k won't get you a mansion in any desirable are of that state. Also, just because at one point, the owner "thought" the value was $3.5m doesn't mean that it was actually worth anywhere near that price.

It's time for us to recognize that Liberalism is a scourge on the entire world. It has to be stopped or pain and misery will be the result for everyone except the plutocrats. Notice how many "capitalists" like Warren Buffett and Mark Cuban want to consolidate power after they've built their...

Good point. Just look at pop culture to see how far the American people have fallen. We still have some very talented people at the top pulling the cart, but if you look at the bottom 2/3rd's of the population it's frightening. Turn on the TV for 10 min and you'll see there is no...

Anyone that would wire $100k to some internet writer called @hedgieguy deserves to be parted from his money, IMO.

It depends entirely on your financial position. Some people win and some lose during inflation and vise versa. If you're in debt and young, inflation isn't the worst thing in the world. If you're an old saver, deflation is looking pretty good.

It's all relative. It depends on the time frame you're trading. Example, on a 5 min chart something may be trending like mad, but on a weekly chart it may be mean reverting, or vise versa. Both can work and both can fail miserably. A good trader probably has ways of determining which to...

I'd much rather pay the $100k and get a heart transplant done in the US, than in India, but that's just me. The Cleavland Clinic > India

It sounds to me like he was never really worth $35b in the first place. He just had a talent for over hyping his companies, their value, future expected values, etc.

Your options are, IMO: -Position trade off of daily charts (or longer). -Trade forex or asia, etc in your off time. -Quit your job or trading. That's really about it as far as I can tell.

Dems already blaming the Republicans for Obama's appointment.

I don't care who you are, this is funny

I'm fully supportive
