I don't understand -- it has been around 15 years since we've had a full fledged crash. Why haven't we gotten a REAL selloff yet? What is still holding this house of cards up? These markets want to exhale and it seems like it is a slow bleed rather than a swift ass-kicking. I'm...

A lot of people confuse mathematics with absolutes per situaiton. I think statistics and probabilities plays off deeper than this. To suggest something is "mathematically impossible" is absurd. Take for instance a multi-state lotto. It is mathematically "highly improbable" that you will...

Of course it varies depending on what casino you play in and their types of rules -- whether you take "special" sidebets that they offer, etc. However the standard house edge, in percentage terms, follows closely to these: The best odds (House edge): Blackjack (Las Vegas Single Deck) 0.18%...

Baron, I also suggest you sell little voo-doo dolls with tiny leather jackets on them and a cap with "aphie" written on it. This should be a nice compliment to the shirts, coffee mugs, backpacks, mousepads and other accessories that will be available eventually through Elite Trader...

You do mean selling naked CALLS I hope -- Anyone selling naked PUTS in this market really deserves whatever they have coming to them. This market is so volatile, that the premiums for the CALLS would really have to justify selling NAKED. NAKED selling of options is a good way to get...

Anyone elses Esignal experiencing problems? My datafeed has been dead for around 10 minutes now.

You mean it gets WORSE?!

Gordon, Ummm .... Yeah. That looks like a good set-up. Just make sure you add the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,20,30,40,50 MA's to that.

Gordon, I got stuck on how to program a T3 running average in Visual Basic. It is a real bitch until you get that Ah-ha! experience. I'm sure if you contact Esignal, they can help you out. There is also a bulletin board on Yahoo that is very helpful for .efs creation. You should check...

If you want a piece of ass later that night, you better comply. She may not be right logically, but you aren't debating logic -- you are dealing with female emotions. When I was growing up we used to refer to the hot bitches as high maintenence, but then I slowly learned there is no such...

You better get a new calender!

Andy, Your mom is nothing compared to a raging pissed girlfriend. If you get a girlfriend and she gets pissed, the best thing to do is avoid the situation or let her be right. Arguing with a woman is akin to arguing with the market -- it is a no-win situation. El Primo Rule The woman...

I will agree with Candle et. al. -- The United States is, in my opinion, guilty of many atrocities that most Americans don't know about. Anyone who takes a good America History class with a competent professor will touch base on just how ass-backwards our history REALLY is. I'll touch base on...

Candle, Right. And if they take us out, the entire world economy will definately collapse. Make no mistake about it -- we're keeping this gig going and when we go, we're taking the rest of the civilized world with us. There may be some financial markets left here and there -- perhaps a few...

rs7, How long have you been an editor for the Washington Post?

Sometimes a journey in life can be a long one. Yet, in the end, all paths that are walked with passion and determination eventually lead to the ultimate destination that one seeks to obtain.

The world presents us with endless beauty and opportunities. It is up to each of us to find our own way while stopping to enjoy the scenery of our journey.

Sometimes order can be pulled through chaos, as the human mind is capable of abstraction and intuition that no mechanical system could ever compete against.

The end of the day provides us with a chance to reflect on our accomplishments and failures. It gives us an opportunity to clear our emotions and mind and prepare for yet another start to another new day.

Every day brings new opportunities and a fresh slate. Start each of them with a positive perspective.
