You're kind of embarrassing yourself. If you take this post down while you have time I'll take mine down and no-one will know you posted it. Hint, what is your N(z0) in terms of D1 and D2 in BS? If that isn't working, maybe write out the parameters of N(z0) in terms of each of the parameters of...

"New Jersey’s proposed levy “would hurt the tens of millions of Americans who invest in financial markets to save for retirement and fund their children’s education,” the industry coalition said Friday. “Our members are committed to ensuring that those savers continue to have access to the...

Are you concerned about your personal tax or your corporation's tax? Because you're usually talking corporations when you say franchise tax, even though I know it is called the Franchise Tax Board. And that tax isn't based on where you live. There's a minimum franchise tax just for the privilege...

You gave no examples, and clearly you have none. If you make bullshit assertions the onus is on you to actually back them up. Certainly if you hold this position you must know what it's based on without having to Google it? Have you ever even been to Europe, let alone witnessed any of what you...

I'd love to hear of these specific examples, please, enlighten me. Not "people are saying" or "there are examples" but actual names of actual places, preferably those you've actually seen. But at this point a single name would be an improvement on what you provided. Thanks for bringing facts to...

Where one is born really has no bearing on anything, unless you're claiming now to remember your birth? Still curious about your personal experience in Europe that led to your beliefs on Muslims. And now also curious about how much of your adult, or even childhood, life you spent in Manhattan?

Fundamentalists are being "persecuted and harassed when and if they muster the courage to speak the truth" if that goes against fundamentalist orthodoxy. They're fired from their jobs if they work for a church, they're ostracized by their former fellow congregants and even their families even if...

What's your experience been living or traveling in Europe that leads you to believe this?

A bunch of massive problems with logic, yet again. The fact that our current theories of the origin of life aren't proven and have potential issues isn't a reason to reject them in any way, it's proof that the scientific method is working as intended. All theories, from the theory of gravity to...

They person they're trying to convince is really themselves. There's actually a third type of fundamentalist beyond the gullible and simple minded and the power manipulator, kids who are raised fundamentalists. In my experience it's pretty hard core brainwashing, you go to a fundamentalist...

Passover is actually a day, it's the day we celebrate God killing all the babies and children whose only crime was to be the first boy born to their family, remember? But I digress into more pure evil. Let's go with this whole "preparation day" idea, because you actually contradict yourself in...

Exactly. But when you look at the logical contortions those people go to in order to "prove" their "faith" you can see that neither logic nor the definition of words work the same in their universe as they do in ours.

It's actually called the Initial Jobless Claims number, or colloquially "First Time" jobless claims. It wouldn't count someone who was already on unemployment, the whole point of the report is to provide an additional piece of data to the overall unemployment numbers to show the first derivative...

I always find it funny when someone who's entire religion is based on the concept that there is an absolute right and wrong and who would entirely reject cultural relativism in any other setting (I generally reject it as well, btw) engages in cultural relativism. Sorry, but slavery is...

Back to the topic of the thread....these are new unemployment claims. It doesn't mean unemployment has gone down, it means generally that the rate at which people are losing their jobs is going down. At the point 100% of Americans were unemployed, for example, this indicator would show zero new...

Couldn't agree more. If you need to work yourself apoplectic about the VP candidate's position on something back when they were campaigning for their party's nomination that has little or no chance of passing anyway..... it says a lot about how many legitimate things you have to criticize about...

As I've posted before and even placed a public wager on, there's almost no chance of these being passed especially in states like NJ or NY where there are enough representatives who are representing enough people who make a living off the finance industry that they won't let it happen. And even...

It's really a different category of aircraft in terms of price and the performance and comfort reflect that. You can get a 2010 era 172 for the mid $200s. It's mid $400s for the same time SR22. If you can afford the SR22 than absolutely go for it. Unfortunately the OP mentioned he was on a...

Almost no broker pays you extra interest if they lend your shares from a margin account. I don't even think IB does unless you're not using margin and sign up for their program.

I used to think this way too, but now I wonder. Illegal insider trading is pretty well defined and requires an insider knowingly share information with someone who trades using it. If my wife is friends with the wife of a corp dev guy for a local company and I hear through her about him being...
