we are getting close, would not be surprised to see it in 2020. The media has already been reduced to reporting on tweets. Some guy with a go daddy site could run on a dime.

I was quite a prankster when I was in High School and can see myself testing this law

ha ha, If you don't like the republicans don't vote for one. There is no God given or constitutional right that a political party be fair or even sane. When voting, just observe how both parties handle things and vote for the one you think is the most fair if that is what is so important to you.

what would a nonlife form even look like? Even a rock is teaming with life. Who knows how much life is in an atom?

true, most would be better just buying a low cost index funds, but they don't even want to do that, too much time away from what they do. They want to be introduced to a fund manger by a trusted friend and just turn it all over and tell them, here! you manage it! And in times of finanacial...

religion is an obstacle most church goers had to overcome. The point is, even when we get all scientific, people tend to hope their version of the universe is the one that proves true, and that version like you say has some kind of stable existence for man kind.

don't worry, NATO will take care of it. That's what they are there for.

because when you tax a mans income you are taxing him on his profit. When you introduce a tarrif or sales tax you may be taxing a man operating at a loss and maybe even making it worse.

this is what happens when a criminal governmemt steals all the money from the people

yes we all like some idea that is eternal. You do know about God, right? That never ending expanding Universe doesn't get much traction, especially in the winter time when it is already cold enough.

The real source of bubbles is when you do something bad your parents warned you about and instead of getting punished you get rewarded.

The one good thing about my strategy is there is almost no possibility of a mistake. I have been doing this a long time and one thing if you do make a mistake reverse it immediately and pay the commish and spread. Just one of those rare days when my ib order screen was not working properly and I...

if politicians ran the fed at least we would have some certainty. Nobody would raise rates in an election year.

nowadays, At least on the Science channel (I get all my knowledge from tv) they usually refer to the "Universe" as only that which was created as a result of the big bang. Something about our laws of physics break down before that point. So, there could be other universes. Or Big Bangs could be...

hmmm, Everything I have to show for myself is just the result of a few lucky trades. In my old semi retired age it would seem my returns are pretty impressive now that I am small enough to trade with no stops. But I would never re commit the serious money I made on those lucky trades. I had no...

ha ha, we are talking about a barrel of crude. Same thing it was 50 years ago. Produces same BTU it always did (maybe a few adjustments based on new extraction and refining.) The only thing that changes is USD, and that is what we measure everything by. They wouldn't let me graduate high school...

Yes, that's just the way we started out. The first thing we were taught was, "In the beginning was God, and the word was with God and the first thing he ever said was let there be light and it all started from there. So if you want to get really smart you have to ask us what was it like before...

It aint that funny. When you are just talking about an old saver that isn't getting much return on their cash it is probably no big deal. But when you are 20 trillion dollars in debt, .25 basis points could be a big deal.

It feels wrong because you now don't know if your rules were profitable.

see, that's the thing. Compared to most countries, most U.S. citizens are rich. That's why they call us Rich Americans. We have so much money we don't need to go to the government for help when we get sick.
