Let me rephrase my question, if you had to watch child porn for an hour, after which point you quit, would it have no impact on you? PTSD is insidious shit. Guys especially are often brought up with the tough guy mentality so they'll tough it out because...well look no further than the ignorant...

So you think a psychologically normal human being who is forced to watch child porn for 8 hours a day for a month should emerge from that with no impact whatsoever? After all, it's just a video, it's not the "squalid streets" or a "war zone"? How long did you serve again, by the way? Again...

Then you're clearly not a federal employee or former federal employee. Why should a politician get to jerk around your personal money in your retirement account to make a political statement? That's utter bullshit, not sure how you can justify it especially if you're for small government and...

Anyone who's actually been exposed to traumatic shit and wasn't impacted in some way is probably somewhere on the antisocial personality disorder spectrum.

I think the only thing other automakers might not have yet is an auto equivalent to a TCAS resolution advisory in planes, i.e. the two cars negotiate to decide the best action to avoid a collision and then automatically both take that action. That's orders of magnitude harder to do in a car than...

Actually the deaths per mile driven have decreased dramatically. That's how statistics work, when you have only 100 cars in the world it's hard to have more than 100 fatal accidents, when you add several million a year the number of absolute fatal accidents can go up even while the rate decreases.

My 3 year old Volvo has pretty much the same software capabilities as a Tesla. And that's Volvo, doesn't get any more boring than that, right? I work with another part of Elon's empire and realize that much of what he says and portrays is, shall we say, aspirational. If you take what he says...

Yeah, how much is your webvan and pets.com stock worth now if you'd held em? For that matter, what is your AOL stock worth now if you'd bought at the peak? Think again (that's a gratuitous comment to toss out, by the way). If you mistakenly thought you were on elitebuyandholdindexfunds.com then...

If you're really worried about it you can always have the broker purchase a treasury in your name and hold it as collateral that you can then trade off of. Typically this involves a 5-10% haircut. In the event the broker goes under the treasury belongs to you and doesn't fall under the...

Funny I remember people saying exactly that in 1999.

You say in a content free post consisting entirely of a personal attack..... I gotta admit it's hard to be that meta with hypocrisy, you should be quite proud of yourself!

It only seems that way because the forex "brokers" impose such a big haircut on the carry. So if the real rate is 1% (meaning you'd pay 1% on one side and get 1% on the other) they apply a -2% haircut so it ends up -3%/-1%. Keep in mind the carry is a bit of an illusion anyway. If the real...

Alas I'm afraid you may not fare so well. Turns out being willing to read what someone wrote before making up arguments they didn't make isn't a recipe for success in life or trading. Ad hominem attacks likewise don't reflect well on the person launching them. Best of luck to you.

So the answer is no, you are unable to answer inconvenient questions or defend your own words. Thanks for clearing that up for all of us. Cognitive dissonance hurts. Some of us use it as a chance to reexamine our thought processes and some of us literally put inconvenient truths on "ignore"...

Again, did you actually read the several posts in this thread where I stated exactly what my position was in extremely detailed form? It's strange that you assigned a position to me that I didn't take, and when I pointed that out to you, your response is to accuse me of not taking a firm...

Did you actually read my posts? I never once brought up the idea that because I haven't experienced this it can't happen, that would be an absurd argument. In fact I never even mentioned if it has happened to me or not. It's easy to think of someone else as a moron and yourself as smart when...

Nice job ignoring want I actually asked you. Let me repeat it, and see if you can actually respond to what I say like normal humans do in a conversation. I know the questions are very inconvenient for you, but please do try to see if you're able to answer them even if it hurts deep down inside...

And when did this whole "hindsight experts" thing happen? Oh, that's right, it didn't. Are you predicting the future? Care to put some money on that prediction, charity of the other's choice? You seem so very certain that this is a widespread thing despite your complete inability to document...

Most people have not heard of many of the companies that make up the S&P 500. You don't have to be known by the average consumer to make lots of money in a B2B sector.

That's amateur hour really. My friend has actually set up an entire exchange in a faraday cage that he built in his mom's basement which has no connection to the outside world. He his trades exclusively on this exchange, bypassing brokers entirely, and reports that it has been 100% successful in...
