    An amazingly one sided story. How much is the longterm promotional worth to Vancouver, now and in the future? How many jobs did it create? How much money was added to the city in the buildup and the event and afterwards? How about future value from the new structures? Tourism? If you...

    'Buy farmland and gold,' advises Dr Doom, Faber

    'Buy farmland and gold,' advises Dr Doom, Faber

    I doubt buying land in Holland if you do not live there, has any more legal defense than buying land where you live.

    Were your Hotmail addresses stolen?

    makes sense. People should change their email passwords OFTEN. Some keep them for years. But also, wonder how many people here still do not use antivirus, firewalls, spyware detectors and other appropriate methods?

    E-mini tutorials?

    It is not the average move (say 2 points per 15 minutes) that kills the trader. It is the outsized move, which happens quite often. At $1000/contract, that represents 50:1 leverage for the ES. A 2% move can wipe out the trader. The market lost 23% unleveraged in one day on 10/19/87
