Civilized and educated people don't end up in county my friend. That speaks volumes about your character. Enuf said...

I'm all for legalization of ALL drugs. However, that won't stop the crime I agree. One of the biggest drugs traded by gangs in Chicago is cigarettes!!! Due to the exorbitant city taxes we have here on tobacco products.

Taunting? Ricter, you are invited too!!!!! :)

You did time in county jail? Holy shit. I knew it. Man, OK, maybe this dinner is not such a good idea. LOL. Ahh hell, even if you did time in county, I'll still have dinner with you. We'll have other ET'ers there in case you get out of hand. :)

Well guys yet, we have a lot of people willing to come to this dinner except one person....Ron!!!! LOL. The guest of honor is the only person we have not heard from yet. He is still running his mouth down here in the basement mind you but he is a little more shy about doing that in person...

I'm going to really enjoy that dinner Ron. You act like this in real life too right?

OK, but here is the problem with this. Let's not stop at 6 billion. Let's go to the extreme. Let's say 6 trillion. Let's say we put 5 million cops on the southside. OK fine. You are correct. Violence will probably stop. The shootings will stop. The crime will stop. Here's the problem...

I'm not endorsing martial law either. Seriously man, you need to think about this. I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but the city of Chicago is broke. The state of IL is broke. The federal government is broke. Our police pensions in IL are so far under water that it will take 150...

TVIX looks pretty cheap eh King? You going to grab some? :)

Nope. Not going to work. Here in Chicago we've already done that. We keep putting more and more cops down there and nothing changes. Honestly, our police force is so stretched at this point, it's a joke. Spending more and more tax dollars on ideas that are failing is not something I...

Here, let's be proper about this. http://www.cityofchicago.org/dam/city/depts/doit/general/GIS/Chicago_Maps/Census_Maps/Race_Black.pdf

West of the loop is gangland. Basically south, southwest and west is almost 100% black and Latino once your outside the loop. The loop straight north is almost 100% white from the river up to wrigleyville. North of Wrigley it's sketchy again all the way to Evanston.

It's the f*cking HFT algo's man. They run the temps up during the day and crash them in the evening. We really need to regulate this shit. Way too much volatility in temps.

Ricter, do you believe their statement that the world has been cooling for 2k years?

Monthly levels held again today in the indices. Volatility continues to get hit. Those are all bull items. Earnings have been awful so far and bonds have been on a tear. Those are the bear items. My thesis of a choppy range bound tape still holds. We are on the low end of the range though...

I can tell you a lot about the firm. It depends what you are looking to do and where you are located. If you want to provide more info, I can tell you more.
