If you knew what was going to happen it would be easy to predict the future.

so tell me Stu, why do the Jews not like Moslems? And why do the Muslims not like infidels? And why do the protestant Irish not like the Catholic Irish? How many churches do I have to go to to learn what is going on? What is your answer? In hushed tones, (we don't teach that in school, but if...

ok, but just remember, once you get out into the white suburbs, USA children test the highest in the world. So you can conclude that black children are just genetically inferior or the real problem is in our predominately black inner city schools. And if that is true, why?

In all fairness, when a young man is just starting out and raising a family, even though his income is growing each year his debt may be sky rocketing, especially after the first house. And as world civilizations go, we are still pretty young. But at some point, you would like to see a little...

wow man, you went way off topic on that one. The topic was considering teaching comparative religion which most agree would be a good idea. And then you come back and say we can't do what most agree is good because our schools are so bad. So the solution is to just not do what most agree is good?

I'm already smoking my ass off, and I doubt anything the government tries to do to stop it will make me change anymore than Obama and his climate alarmists will ever stop flying around from golf course to golf course. But it's fun to talk about. My only point was, just because you finally quit...

don't forget global warming a small transaction tax should pay for terrorism and climate change, and I don't think anybody wants more terrorism or climate change, and it really wouldn't affect the middle class that much. Besides, we have a lot more to fear from HFT than we do GDP. Take care of...

good, so then we don't need to raise taxes

well, if we just owe it to ourselves, why don't we just tell ourselves we miscalculated and cannot pay ourselves back what we said we would pay to ourselves?

and where will that money that leaves the stock market go? Be a while, many years before the investor feels a .25 basis point rise in their cash.

It's really just a question of time. Not timing, but how much you have.

you mean traders without machines will get killed?

how's that standard of living working out for India and China? I don't see a lot of low intuition westerners waiting to get in.

exact same way you predict currency and interest rates

Dad's doing just fine. He doesn't need anything more than a sweater (and he still hasn't worn the one I bought him last year, he says he is "saving it.") I'd pay off all the kids debts though with the understanding that they never once mentioned to me how they got that deep in debt.

yes, but everybody knows that, so if you wear one, the government will think you don't care if they track you and will spend their time trying to track people without tin foil hats "OK People, thank you for showing up on such short notice, lunch will be served at 11:30 and we will take a 30...

I wasn't aware that minorities have special rights. I heard somewhere that all of us have certain unalienable rights that were not granted by or can be taken away by men.

a good case in point is Warren Buffet. If his house in Omaha reflected his total net worth it would take up the whole State of Nebraska.

I don't know anything about VIX, I only know I hear traders talking about the VIX options on the cboe
