Think back on the absolute best, side-splittingly funny things you've ever seen or heard in your entire life. Ok, ready now? Have you gotten down from your high horse for long enough to recall your very best laughs ever? If you're not ready yet, take a minute or two until the memories come...

My submission to the ET suggestion box: Add the ability to recommend individual posts (like Yahoo, but only one rec per IP address), along with the ability to recommend entire threads. By looking for highly recommended posts/threads, we'll be able to make sure we don't miss the good stuff.

Anyone know a trader out there named Mark Barton? His aggressive trading style definitely showed a lot of promise. I lost touch with him a while back, but I'm sure he's probably done very well for himself over the past few years.

Well, if you listen to unsubstantiated internet rumors, the mossad's motto is "By way of deception, thou shalt do war" (or something to that effect). However, that isn't even true. Their <b>real</b> motto is actually "For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure."...

While we're already on the subject, I might as well repeat a couple things life has taught me: 1) NEVER trust anyone who calls people 'buddy' or 'my friend', and never do business with them. That's the eternal mark of the bullshitter! Just knowing this simple yet effective little profiling...

<i> Pappy is the one who tapped Clinton on the shoulder in little rock and told him "you're our guy".</i> ---> That's beyond ridiculous. Please tell me you're joking. <i> Watch how Hillary wins the next presidency.</i> ----> Never EVER gonna happen. You're so wrong it's not even funny...

Do you? I don't think you got my point at all. I'm saying: When driving from Chicago to NY, don't take a needless detour through Texas. Your reply: I agree- Because NY sucks, and you're better off going to Boston instead. I give up. :confused:

Firefighter (not 100% of the time, obviously), or Director in charge of FEMA.

I have a 'new' and 'exciting' way for the covered call crowd to buy and hold stock!: Let's say you want to buy 100 shares of MSFT. Instead of going about this purchase in the normal manner, here's a 'better' way to do it: 1) Open two options trading accounts. 2) In account A, buy 20 MSFT...
