Mr. "All the airplanes would crash if we didn't have the FAA to regulate & protect us" finally releases his inner Libertarian. Congratulations! :D :cool: :D :cool: :D :cool: :D :cool:

Maybe if you're Ned Flanders, but a great number of the rest of us use *gasp* illegal drugs. 110 million Americans, aged 12 or over (45.8% of the US population aged 12 and over) report having used an illicit drug at least once in their lifetimes. This victimless activity classifies us as...

Not even that. Some of it is just literary trivia. The answer to 18 is Morlock, which could only be known by those familiar with <i>The Time Machine</i> by H.G. Wells.

Molecularly, they are nearly identical. Opiates come from the poppy plant, while endogenous opioids (endorphins, dynorphins & enkephalins ) are naturally occurring brain chemicals.

Wow! I thought my six years and counting was alot. My reasons involve hating crowds (understatement!) and not being able to enjoy a movie with a bunch of idiots making distracting noise. Same reasons for you?

No, everything still annoys me. Seriously, watching 'The Aviator', or just reading about Howard Hughes provides major insight into my personality. Just substitute temperature for germs. When I first saw that movie, I found myself pausing it every 30 seconds to write down another striking...

TraderNik & Dr. Z, thanx for the encouragement. Dr., by reading through this thread (or this one ) you'd know that Ibogaine is in no way relevant. At no point did I ever have an 'opiate addiction problem'. Daily opioid intake is not the problem, but rather the <b>solution</b> for those...

For the 13 people and one filthy troll who clicked the first poll option: Now that I'm fully detoxed off oxy, and my opinions haven't changed one iota, can I still be called "Another useles junkie trying to justify his habit"? ...or do you now understand that I was right all along?

Update: Buprenorphine doesn't just work on paper, <b>it works for me.</b> Today marks the seventh day I've been on Subutex, and therefore 100% oxy-free. (You can't physically use any other opiate in combination with buprenorphine, as it would be wasted. The bupe binds to the opioid...

Please be careful. You're really starting to sound alot like a certain creature. From years of fighting with it, you've picked up its tactics on how to best annoy the people with whom you disagree. ALSO: vs. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Your arguments sound reasonable enough, but I used to watch the show 'COPS', back before I detested them too much to even do that. Judges get woken up in the middle of the night to sign warrants all the time! It's part of their job. Law clerks and secretaries don't have to be involved. The...

Why was it easier to authorize new secret laws, than to just have a judge sign off on each individual wiretap? Can anybody answer that?

But... that sort of thing happens all the time in other trading instruments: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51251&highlight=goog+margin

I know that sounding cryptic is a pastime of yours, but when <b>even mav</b> can't make out what you're trying to say, perhaps it's a bit overdone? :D :D :D That could mean: Short puts & MO underlying, at a ratio of 5 puts for every hundred shares of MO stock short. It could mean plenty...

Check out the Moron Index: http://finance.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=FN&action=l&board=7078727&tid=mo&sid=7078727&mid=419463 They're all Long stock/ short puts.

Now my question: <b>What time is the verdict supposed to be announced? </b> The 5 articles I scanned for this information apparently didn't deem it important enough to mention.

First to answer Arnie's question, because I'm a helpful kind of guy: Exchange minimum margins are: 20% of underlying - out of the money amout/ or 10% of underlying price, whichever is higher+ (option price): So $740 + $60= <b>$800</b> required for every MO DEC 65 put sold. Many brokers...

Hell no.

FBR=Another REIT. The fed has signaled the rate hikes are almost over, and REIT's are beaten up & out of favor- that's where you find value.

How about a good REIT fund? REIT yields in general are sky high right now, and IMO this is the right spot in the interest rate cycle to invest. ************************ MORTGAGE REIT YIELDS ************************ MFA (3.47%)--------.05 quarterly dividend ANH (4.17%)--------.08...
