I think you must be the recipient of a lobotomy to repeatedly evade an offer (ML even accepted shortboy.com as escrow!) and then to come and post this rediculous thread claiming that you were shortchanged of a bet on a war that has yet to occur. This thread should be filed under 'delete'.

GG, nice going. Was it www.whitehouse.com by any chance? [do not click if you are below 18 yrs of age]

Wouldn't this be a great story to tell the grand kids? "So grandpa, how did you start trading? where did you get your grub stake?" "Well, it just so happens...."

http://www.nationalpost.com/home/story.html?id=D00DE872-D524-425C-A1B3-E9266EC7F901 I don't know about you but I would be hard pressed to resist. But I may have the good sense of wearing a ski mask. Be honest. Would you have resisted the temptation?

Actually, I interpret things differently. I see OPEC saying they will open the spigot more. I see the reserves topped off and Bush emphatic that he will not use them yet. And still the price of oil keeps going up!! IMHO, this means that what OPEC is doing is not enough. As well, the price of...

The more I look at the market, the more confused I become. In the recent past we've had saber rattling the US, England and Baghdad. Almost everyone is talking about when the US and UK will attack Iraq. Not if. On top of that we have the whole explosive North Korean situation. And it seems to...

Guys, guys, you're losing focus here! When Cramer is emphatic, and over the top as in sell the widow's bonds and buy ABC Inc.....That's when you gotta fade him! Don't be drawn into the minutia of Cramer's brain. Many others much smarter have been lost never to return from such a harrowing...

"okay, ok, ok, ok, ok....ok..." Joe Pesci "Lethal Weapon" series

Great men usually have a sense of humour. :p

As you may know, the UK (especially London) housing market has been white hot the past two years. So much so that the English equivalent of the Fed expressed some concern over the housing market. Well I just ran across this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2649899.stm ...and...

"If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy ta drink it."

:D You read my mind! I've been wondering the same thing since Margo started posting but didn't want to be a party pooper. :confused:

Might be a good idea to do some more research on Randgold Resources. Hint: its a member of the FTSE gold index and is a division of Randgold & Exploration. This is a real company with real reserves and production. You may rethink before equating it to a 'bubble internet stock'. Disclosure: I...
