    why do we need spreads?

    Agreed. And in reality, perhaps this is the last hurrah of the specialist error. Indeed they serve less and less of a function as ecn's become more a part of trading. Going to decimalization, along with allowing listed stocks to trade OTC has given the specialists two things. A look at a...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Daniel, Never met a gypsy I didn't like!! Of course never met one I would trust either:) Women in Islamic world....well I had this discussion several times with TF....In Israel Muslim women can vote. Even hold political office. In Saudi Arabia I don't know if they are free to even breath...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    TF, I may be there a lot sooner than I would have thought even yesterday. Something has come up that may bring me there around the end of the month if I can find a way to get my son to stay with his grandmother (which will be a hard sell). But tell me. Are the stories I heard true or not? I...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Well, it is hard to join the party coming in late. I haven't (nor do I intend to) read through this entire thread. However, looking at the last few pages, seems like the usual suspects are at the usual topic. Which is fine. Freedom of speech and expression, and all that. It is never going...

    Max, how about leaving my wife out of this. If she were butt ugly, since beauty is in the "eye of the beholder" and she looks like a model to me, are you objecting to my love? Does it bother you? Are you jealous that others have room in their lives for love, and not just hatred like you do...

    Now THAT really does bother me:( I actually care what you may think of me. I am sorry I have disappointed you. And I will take your opinion into consideration as to my further actions. When someone you respect tells you that you are wrong, then it is time to seriously think about changing...

    O777, I don't know how you can say that. I ignored max all day yesterday, yet out of frustration, max had to add another "shot" last night well after the whole thing had faded away (I thought). However, you win your bet (on a technicality....I did not make any direct response to a max...

    Tough to ignore being "stalked"....but of course you are right. And notice that I DID ignore Max for essentially the entire day. Max couldn't take it anymore, and was obsessively compelled to rekindle the "feud" after waiting all day for me to respond. It was easy for me to ignore Max, since my...

    So after a mere 8 1/2 hours, another thread gets closed because someone just can't resist the impulse to revert to what has been his or her "claim". So sad!!

    I know you are correct. But after the initial "here we go again" response, I have made my best effort to address a question by Longshot, I responded to you and Bobcathy about the place of humor in these forums, etc. I think under the circumstances, with relentless needling from "you know...

    True, but I wouldn't want to miss someone making a public fool of himself/herself/itself. And a bet should have an element of challenge to it. Don't you agree? Peace, :)rs7

    :):):) "functionally" maybe. But you know how wagers go. I mean how many times will you get paid at a 21 table if you say "well I was GOING to double down". Or "I was GOING to bet a hop bet" at the dice table after a 12 came up. Gotta be technical when it comes to wagers. We all know that...

    Great answer OP7....hence my reasons for no longer posting much in the trading forums. I said what I had to say (as I re-posted my response about that to Longshot in this thread), and that's it. It (trading) is repetitive and boring. Or should be. Stay consistent, stay disciplined, know when it...

    Ditto.... so this is why I have retreated from the trading forums recently and look for those who provide humor to lighten the day. I expressed my trading beliefs and overall strategy and approaches. I have found little to elevate my results. Meetoox has made some very insightful additions...

    And we're off!!! Rs7 is clearly guilty of talking about the only person he knows on ET. Max is clearly obsessed with counting words:confused: and making useful suggestions. So long Max. Have a nice (virtual) life. Say what you will about (dare I use the word) ME, and YOU will get no...

    Well, you never know.... are you assuming that traders are, by definition, uninformed and therefore not worth discussing stuff with? Maybe you are right. Hey Optional, what do you think? How about a graphic response:)?? :D :D
