I worked for a wealthy couple once... come Christmas time I had a heck of a time buying them gifts, finally I saw this hilarious board game called "Welfare".. it had cards you could draw that said "your car overheated and caused a massive traffic jam on Wilshire blvd on the way to a job...

Come the revolution we will turn those computers to making the perfect society, the worker's paradise.. until then we must be content with stealing Mercedes from the parking lot...

I'm of the opinion that demo accounts aren't very accurate, they are simulations of a market really, probably the designers of them consider them more useful for testing user scripts or practicing order entries.. one broker's demo account can be entirely gamed in some ways.. you can get fills...

The idea that a private company can just do anything it wants and it's nobody's business is very bogus.. .they can't pollute, they can't sell dangerous items, there are a lot of things that they cannot do... we can and should re regulate all this banking garbage so greedy loons can't simply...

It's likely about fund managers adjusting their folios to look good by the end of the year... so is the Santa Claus rally.... they dump stuff in October and buy other stuff through the end of the year...

Oh ye godz yes, fact oriented atheists.. they will tell you that macro evolution is a fact... we tell them all the time to get over themselves.. calibrating the strata by the geological column and calibrating the geological column by the strata and then throwing out 75% of radiological and...

Obama gave Hamas the better part of a Billion dollars, that probably got him the boost in popularity worldwide... of course the Left will use the popularity to say he's a great leader...

I just fired up Sierracharts today for the first time in awhile... I had an hour or two's experience with it a couple of weeks ago... it's nice enough, I was up and running with a chart and playing with the screen trader in probably a half an hour, I'm pretty enthused with it, it's intuitive to...

If I was customer service at Sierracharts and it was my last day on the job here is what my response might be: Dear Sir If scrollbars are a really really really really big issue for you.... then I hardly know what to say, maybe a few weeks in the countryside, different meds regimen, some...

If another broker's API is reliable I'll switch to them at some convenient point... the complaints I see about OEC are with the data.. so I'll get a good data provider that doesn't slow down at busy times.. meanwhile I'm using IB and rarely looking at the TWS ugly thing, ye godz that thing is...

I'm coming around to the viewpoint that what needs to be done is reregulation... deregulation has been the big watchword for 30 years or more and it's a disaster... Democrats are in charge of all three branches of government and they don't have the stones to start standing up to this garbage...

It has to be managed with anti trust ideas... they deregulated everything over the last few decades and now we have the most Wall Street Centric Presidential Cabinet in the history of the country... real capitalism for just 30 years and they own the White House !!!!

You don't need to be banned, ET has a memory like an aquarium, I'm sure you'll be forgotten in little time at all... I go away for months, noboby seems to take any notice of it at all...

....could be a drug deal gone bad..

The Catholic Church is very short on Priests and Nuns nowadays and it shows.. actually maybe they always were hard positions to fill.... so they take ANYBODY.. and that's what you get... really crazy people can thrive in that situation, maybe they are drawn to it... The version of the Bible...

The beauty of Google Docs is that you never lose them... even with autoarchival services I've lost documents.. I hate that mess... If OpenOffice EVER worked, at any time in the past or the present, it would be widespread. About every other year I install it to see if it's up to usability and...

I do a lot of typing here... over the years I've improved at self expression and it has extended over into my personal life for the good as well.... But I'm looking at my current trading strategy and wondering how much influence ET had on it... not a lot really... not all that much... and most...

That is insightful, and pretty funny, thank you... I never saw it broken out into just two categories that don't seem to leave much out like that.. startling.. of course I might be suffering from chronic startlement with this current admin... I wonder if it's just me, I never hated Bush at...
