ok guys and gals, I have had it. I'm all for a bit of fun and light hearted humour (its the chit chat forum after all) .... ....but this thread is now closed. If Mr. Market wants (I would encourage him to do so) he can open a new thread in the "Trading" forum where he can discuss his...

yes, actually they have been very vocal about it but because they are a tiny country politically speaking they don't get a lot of attention. They have (from the beginning) promised troops, logistics, cash and more for the war against Iraq. I think it is because they know too well about...

I'm not sure but I imagine it might be because Blair is very pro Euro and there was talk not long ago of Britain joining the EU monetary wise. Anyone else with thoughts?

A bit off track perhaps...but I just LOVE the fact that someone decided to make a whole webpage devoted to this: http://www.cbot.com/cbot/www/page/0,1398,13+44,00.html Or on the home page go to "Market Info" and choose "Charts"

Margo, this post was made a while back so you may not have seen it. We're just curious! :) My guess is: 1] you are either a paid subscriber of said website or 2] you are that website

candle, I'm not sure what you are trying to say by the conjecture that Iran may be next. I can indeed say (as someone who knows and talks to Iranians in Iran almost daily) that the US would receive a hero's welcome. Not by the ruling class who would have everything to lose. But rather, by the...

candle, c'mon! don't you see what the US is trying to do? They are trying to scare the bejeezes out of Saddam and his cronies. Its just a threat. I can't believe you would take it at face value and not get the real gamesmanship going on behind the curtain.

They should get Kamen onboard. He and his backers would make it a reality in no time.

Sure, the k ratio is very easy. It was created by Kaeppel (hope I spelled it right!) in an article for TASC sometime in the 80's I believe. It is very simple to calculate. Just buy/browse Barron's and look in the MW section for the Barron's Gold Mining Index number. This is an index of gold...

As Triumph the insult comic dog would say: "They are great books....for me to poop on!" :D

You guys heard of the k ratio? Its at 1.37 right now. That means that gold can rest or even correct a bit, but being in a bull market it has a LOT more room on the upside. I think that it will surprise the hell out of 99% of people out there. Just wait and see 2003 unfold. There are...

As far as I know, no one mentioned in your post above has been 'banned'.

if you look at history, whenever the US went into a country and 'occupied' it, several decades later they were much better off. Look at Germany, Japan, Korea, etc...

Interesting article... http://www.thestreet.com/markets/aarontaskfree/10064700_2.html First time I've seen a generic media type outlet publish something like this. Excerpt: "On the international front, Bush faced rising opposition to his strategy regarding Iraq, including from some...

vladiator, we will have to agree to disagree. I wish you good luck on your thesis defense :) Just remember that in some circles PhD is an acronym for piled high and deep (just kidding! :D)

it was really nice of her to shave for the prom

lol...this reminds me of a guy on ragingbull board saying that he was going to buy a private island with his LFMN profits :D Ahhhh....the bull market! [sigh]

I think its a great idea! (believe it or not I pm'ed Baron about a very similar suggestion recently -- great minds think alike! :D) I would add the following: * a weekly not daily poll * only those above a certain level of membership can vote * only one or two questions (ease of...
