I'm sorry, that would be incorrect. <b>A fire extinguisher</b> was the answer that would have won you $1,000. Thanks for playing, and have a good night.

OK, here's something I never understood: According to the New Testament, Jesus was indisputably NOT killed by his fellow Jews, but rather perished at the hand of Roman soldiers, right? Jesus' fellow Jews <i>did</i> have a role in bestowing the one available pardon on a hero of the...

I am here to confirm that IB is indeed racist to the core! Believe it or not, the following horrific display of racism is blatantly and shamelessly displayed on their website: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1956394> As a proud <b>dyslexic Latino</B>, I...

Thanx man! C-Kid, The object is still right in the center of my dining room table- I haven't moved or touched it. You know you'll get paid if you pull this off, so why not give it a shot?

Actually, now that LEH is lower than when I made that 2nd call, this is my chance to semi-gracefully back away from it. That day last week when it plunged from 35 to 30 on massive volume & puts- The insiders were pricing in <i>something</i> that day... but now I believe that mystery...

Certain axioms remain timeless: "Prohibition Kills!" + "Snitches Die!"

There's a better way. I put on a USO conversion, and can short & cover it at will. Echo will do that for you.

Hmmm... On second thought, it seems there truly is a need for me to explain what the 'Invisible Hand' means here. First of all, I'm sure you've heard the following argument against expanding oil drilling in Alaska: "It wouldn't even reach the market until about ten years from now." That is...

The current scenario in commodities has taken place thousands of times in the past, and has been properly resolved thousands of times by the Invisible Hand, which has been repeatedly proven as the best possible price determination method in existence. (Is there really a need for me to explain...

And who gets credit for introducing you to him? :D

Here's the sort of thing that happens in a banana republic: http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle_blog/2008/feb/04/a_cop_is_dead_because_an_informa <b>Prohibition Enforcement Goon Gives His Life To Protect Society From Japanese Maple Trees</b> This is one of those stories that is...

Does anyone else here actually think that having a highly competitive personality is a <b>negative</b> trait for a trader to have?! :p

The rulers of a banana republic are always eager to enact legislation which makes practically everyone a criminal, in order to render all of it's citizens vulnerable to selectively enforced prosecution at any time, at the whim of any gov't official with an axe to grind. Even the most harmless...

Don't worry, I'm sure ZZZenu will be a gentleman about this; admitting his error and sincerely thanking both of you for correcting him. After that, he'll pop over to the trading section of this site in order to assist a few perplexed newbies by providing helpful answers to all of their...

It really is amazing how well Orwell predicted our times. The term you're referring to is called "Doublethink", and it <i>used</i> to exist only in the realm of science-fiction dystopia. Another spot-on Orwell prediction: Oppressive gov't coming up with ironic names for all their bullshit...

Just Rearden Metal, no death ray. :D

Ok, I have to agree with that. Waving racist symbols around in public is detestable, ignorant, collectivist, and backwards... <b>but not illegal</b>, according to the U.S. Constitution. Now that I think about it, regarding the argument that; 'Flying that flag in public is highly likely to...

+The other appropriate quote: "Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken." You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're...

<b>No, most of these 'laws' are beneath all of us!</b> Was DeLorean's destruction on bogus 'victimless crime' charges so long ago that the worthless power-trip gov't agents had to create a sequel in order to 'feel powerful'? Only one of these charges <i>might </i> have a shred of merit...

Ok, I agree that the Stars & Bars can also be used in a benign, non-racist way (like the Dukes of Hazard), and the punishment seems a bit harsh. However, this: <i>"We are very clear that the Confederate flag is a symbol of hatred, bigotry and racism," said Rick Kaufman, the Executive...
