For sure, any religion that calls for stoning your son for being stubborn and rebellious should be banned in any civilized country. For example, look at this passage: "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that...

There's no need to wonder, lot's of the top economists in the world have quantified the benefit of international trade and a safe, stable globe for the interests of the U.S. Turns out that your idea is the worst possible one out there, for almost more reasons than one can count. In a way, you're...

Like many times a statistic is used to push a point of view, this one is most probably deceiving. If 100,000 small companies all export $1000 in product each, while Boeing exports $1B, then while it's true the majority of exporters are small businesses, the majority of exports aren't done by...

Actually a lot of tech companies are trying to move their lower end work like customer service/application processing... to Las Vegas, with Phoenix and Denver popular as well. A few tried with their software devs but I think the rebellion rate was too high, so they just uproot the people who...

Most of the great minds in science that I've had the pleasure to interact with were doing stuff like this when they were younger. That doesn't necessarily mean the converse is true. Also, for this young man reaching his full potential probably means he ends up as a brilliant guy doing...

Spoken like someone who clearly has never called and dealt with IB's version of "customer service". Let us know how that call works out for you.

There's a reason why Cleveland is cheap and Hong Kong is expensive. Actually a lot more than one reason! In related but equally useless news, I also hear it's very cheap to live in Haiti.

The Financial Services Regulatory Commission, Nevis Branch operates out of a post office box in the "city" I've shown a map of below. They're probably as much of a "bucket shop" as the bucket shops they supposedly "regulate"!

The left certainly doesn't have a monopoly on that my friend!

Dude, still waiting for your data source on the countries you incorrectly lost 15% of GDP, and that the US produces 25% of the world's GDP? Are you completely impervious to facts that don't fit your preconceived narrative? Also still waiting to hear about how Bush caused a 40% drop in GDP with...

By that standard, from 2001 to 2008 the US "lost" 44% in GDP because that's how much the dollar depreciated against the Euro. I didn't like Bush, but I'm not going to blame him for a 44% drop in GDP which didn't happen, just because I have a facile understanding of macroeconomics like you. By...

Yeah, the two countries in his list that actually did have a decrease in GDB were Canada and Norway, both of which are heavily dependent on oil, which fell 70% during that period, for their GDP. An intelligent guess would be that this contributed to that GDP fall far more than their social...

They are, did you even bother to follow the link, or are you so resistant to the truth that you refuse to even check if the numbers you made up have even the remotest semblance of truth to them (hint: they don't)? I'd be happy to see your links that show your original assertion correct, unlike...

This is a complete and utter fabrication!!! What, do you think you just get to make shit up and no-one is going to call you on it? Let me give you the numbers here, real numbers in USD you too can check at https://data.oecd.org/gdp/gross-domestic-product-gdp.htm: 2014 GDP...

You're right, you can do it with an anonymous dude on a street corner, however at that point it's the anonymity of cash that's protecting you, not bitcoin. If you exchange with a business associate or friend, again it's easy to track down what address in the blockchain corresponds to you through...

That works if you never converted dollars/euros/pesos.... into bitcoin and never wish to convert bitcoin back to another currency....and as long as you never split your bitcoin or do any transaction that can be traced back to you. Keeping in mind that every transaction that's ever occurred is...

You need to make sure you're comparing apples to apples. A family plan for two adults and two kids where the adults are 27 is going to be cheaper than an individual plan where the individual is 54. Anything other than a big company plan where the company has negotiated rates based on the average...

I think it's funny that people think a currency where every owner from it's creation is permanently and inextricably a part of that currency and visible to everyone is somehow private or secure!

True, and I used to work for the government!

This is probably good advice for the OP since it appears they don't really understand VIX and appear to think they're the only person on earth to discover a risk free way to make money off contango in VIX. However, at the expense of being pedantic, the VIX funds do adjust their exposure between...
