That's a reasonable position I probably don't really disagree with; look forward to the details.

There's a massive gap in logic among all the anti-fractional reserve posts here. You're all basically saying "The Fed has made mistakes.....therefore gold standard and abolish the Fed!" If you're going to advocate for completely overturning the world economy that has led to an unprecedented...

If backing currency with an arbitrary mineral did anything to change that graph, which it wouldn't given that the value assigned to the arbitrary mineral is itself arbitrary along with the supply of that mineral, then we could perhaps begin a conversation about why you feel that graph is showing...

And what would that "something'" be? An arbitrarily mineral that you can't eat, drink, use for shelter, or do much else with whose practical functions are extremely limited and whose main value is decorative? That you're going to smelt into bars you move around from vault to vault and assign an...

Dude, you've started something like 5 threads entitled "Is X SERIOUSLY undervalued/overvalued". Give it a rest and learn some originality, for Pete's sake! This isn't Quora where you're getting paid to ask questions.

I'll be the Grinch here and point out why this is basically crap. The problem with every "I talked to X number of successful people and their secret is....." line of thought is that they're sampling the dependent variable. For there to be any validity to this at all they would have to ensure...

It's considered lucky in China; chances are they're either from China or still there. I think it's actually based on word play in Cantonese, so maybe Hong Kong?

I don't know how many times this needs to be explained to you. Socialism is what we call civilization. Socialism is having a city or county police force everyone pays into that socializes the cost of police services instead of every individual having their own security force. Socialism is having...

One way to think about this is to try to buy a portfolio of 3X long and 3X short options that will exactly balance each other out, assuming the ETF did exactly what it was supposed to, namely moved 3X and -3X the daily percentage move of the underlying. Set up a spreadsheet with 5 days of random...

Let us all know how your first withdraw over $10k works out for you. You're moving from US regulated to effectively unregulated there. They're always great until you have to do any significant withdraws, then suddenly there are issues with your customer identification then they ghost you.

Increased in demand for medical staff wasn't a factor at all in increased mortality. You've provided absolutely zero, zip, nada evidence that it was, while several of us have provided the actual quantitatively supported reasons for the increase in mortality. You seem blissfully unaware that...

So first off, absolutely nothing in that study, which I'll bet any amount of money you didn't actually read, indicated that medical errors have cause more deaths since Obama Care, which was your assertion. Your assertion remains not only completely unsupported, but there is a significant body of...

You really are living in la la land aren't you? The third leading cause of death in the U.S. is accidents, not medical accidents, but all unintentional injuries from any source (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr68/nvsr68_06-508.pdf). Either CDC is fake news or every accident would have to...

WTF, are you really that blinded by partisanship that you allege, with absolutely no evidence or even common sense, that an increase in the amount of health care coverage for a population caused a decrease in life expectancy? Listen to yourself man, you're pitiful!

NO that is absolutely NOT the question. @clacy stated "Unlike a lot of the lifelong (public servant) politicians that make only $200k/year in congress but still somehow amass $100's of millions in wealth over their careers." and then had the audacity to claim that "You've been brainwashed." He...

So you can't back up your statement "unlike a lot of the lifelong (public servant) politicians that make only $200k/year in congress but still somehow amass $100's of millions in wealth over their careers."? Pretty rich to throw out blatantly false information that you can't back up, then accuse...

"You've been brainwashed." says the guy who gets all his information from Fox and Breitbart. Which lifelong politician is worth $100s of millions...very specifically "100's of millions", not a few million they obtained from writing a book or other royalties? There are allegedly "a lot" of them...

He could be sued if you could show he profited from it. I believe Trump is awful on many levels, but you have to be realistic about what you're asking for. Almost anything a President does is going to "manipulate" some market somewhere. So allowing the President, or any law or policy maker, to...

Actually if you've been here for a while and follow the posts, you would know that @luisHK has kids in the education system and has done a good deal of research including traveling to several spots in Europe and Asia specifically to determine the suitability of the education system for his...

Send them a secure message then. I hate IB as much as the next guy, but I am also humble enough to assume a problem is explainable and at least an even chance of being attributable to me before I fly off the handle. Comes with maturity I guess.
