    Would you quit after you have made $1Mil?

    I know quite a few traders who have made it to 1 mil. Sometime for better and sometimes for worse, but not a single one of them stopped there.

    <i> Are they also afraid that the depressed patient will become "addicted" to the opioid meds? I've read some time ago that a lot of doctors refuse to give pain medication (opioid type?) to hospital patients even if they are in outrageous pain because they are afraid they will become...

    First time I've ever cracked up laughing in the voting booth...

    Medical orthodoxy's stubborn neurotransmitter fixation, in combination with the draconian prohibition laws, creates the frequent situation where severely depressed patients are given one irrelevant neurotransmitter re-uptake inhibitor medication after another, instead of the opioid medication...

    Bidu about to tank down below $80

    You're lucky, and you're going to clean up. All of my efforts to borrow this stock have failed.

    Bidu about to tank down below $80

    S&P has topped for 2006

    This market hasn't topped yet. Sorry thorn, but I see quite a bit more upside in the very near future. Nov 1390 calls will not expire worthless.

    How about the power imbalance which exists between a violent male criminal, and his female intended victim? Riddle me this: How can this potentially deadly imbalance be corrected without a firearm? Pepper spray doesn't quite cut it, you know. Aren't Libs supposed to be supportive of...

    Tradesports 2008 election futures- Free Money!

    Tradesports has the odds of Hillary winning the 2008 presidential election at around 30% (If betting <b>against</b> her chances, you risk $70 to win $30). That's free money. Hillary will never <b>ever</b> be elected president of this country. People typically vote for the candidate they'd...

    Wait- I'm confused. Are you talking about <b>actual</b> criminals who create <b>real</b> victims, or are you trying to blame the costs of drug prohibition on the prohibition violators instead of the nanny-state? Looks like this is where you (Conservative) and I (Libertarian) part ways.

    Can you hit your own bid from your other account?

    This is just a silly misunderstanding. His 'Duh' was meant in a lighthearted self-depreciating manner, NOT as a crack at me.

    Can you hit your own bid from your other account?

    ...but that gain is completely negated by the artificial losses you'd create, as described in my example. Look, it's no big deal. This whole hypothetical situation is nothing more than one big <b>moot point</b>. If one wanted to illegally evade taxes, there are far more logical ways to do it.

    Can you hit your own bid from your other account?

    That's not the way to transfer gains from one account to another. Say LMRA is an after-hours ghost town. There are no market participants besides you and your 2 accounts. You have $250,000 in taxable gains in your domestic account ('Account A') , and wish to illegally transfer those gains to...

    Can you hit your own bid from your other account?

    Say you move a gain from an ordinary account to an IRA account. You've just deferred the taxes owed by <b>decades</b>. Or let's say you have an offshore account the gov't doesn't know about. You move your gain from your domestic account to the hidden one. All of this would be illegal, of...

    S&P has topped for 2006

    Sorry, I'd rather not get into it. BTW, my trade is meant as a quick hit. I will be out of most to all of it by the end of the day. (I'm saying this so certain individuals won't permanently 'marry' me to this long SPY position, and comment about how much I'm getting 'beat up' if the...
