You can tell when a company, like UBS, is dog shit by the commercials they choose to air. Cue announcer with smug, deep base voice: "Wherever you are, we're right next to you. We just call it 'You and Us'. You and Us. UBS." What the fuck is <i>that</i> supposed to mean?! Did they...

I'm factoring in the ECN rebates. It does hit 4 or 5 grand on very heavy days.

The U.N. resolution is indeed smoke & mirrors, but you should know that Israel is NOT razing Maronite villages- only muz villages which are active participants in this war.

I couldn't agree more. ...and that's one of the reasons why, if you seat nine gamblers and one shark at a poker table, the shark nearly always emerges a bit richer when the game is done. Getting dealt lousy cards is but a minor obstacle to the highly skilled player.

The word you're looking for here is <b>LBO</b>. In simple terms, when a company trades well below book value, a corporate raider gets the financing together to buy out a controlling stake in the company. He then liquidates the company's assets for a profit. He wins, but many workers jobs are...

I got it. I just meant that the lottery tickets guy probably wouldn't understand.

Do you think your target audience understands what you're saying? This would be like me answering your posts in Hebrew or Arabic.
