If social security isn't enough, just drive to your local sheriffs office with a bottle of alcohol and when you think you are over the limit check in. And keep doing that everytime they let you out until your social security payments have added up to enough that you can comfortably pay for your...

I have a target of stable oil prices, due to the fact that nobody else is predicting it. You can make a lot of money once in a while betting on a mega trend, but you can make a small amount of consistent money betting on going nowhere. Most markets most of the time don't go anywhere when you...

I think maybe it had someting to do with a sixteen year bull market in bonds

Probably the best way would be to consistently put on a short straddle and a long straddle on the same underlying at the same time (in two different accounts) and see over time if one side or the other ever makes money, and then write your results in a study and call it empircal.

they are not protecting you, they are protecting the integrity of the industry. And it looks bad if too many traders start with 25k and lose most of it in a short amount of time.

It wasn't that long ago I was asking the same question. Why not just sell premium? I'll probably be right only 50% of the time, and in options time is everything, so at least I will have time on my side. And 2 out of three aint bad. Until I realized they just don't give premium away. You...

a comparison betweeen the new Star Wars and Avatar is hardly fair when you factor in the price of WTI. It was much higher back when Avatar came out. A lot cheaper to drive to the drive-in today. They still have drive-ins...right?

why doesn't Tim Cook just say China is strong? It made Apple rally the last time so I don't see why it shouldn't work again.

I agree with you. I would rather own it. I am the government, Right? That is my new thing. Local ownership. Should make for some good new movies where in the new world towns once again fight against the evil guy who tries to own it all. And to do that you need both private citizens and a...

what are we up to now? 8 Holidays a year. That's what a trader gets (if he is not trading fx.) Make the rest of the world do that and they would be a little more tolerant for a religious holiday (or any holiday for that matter) that would give them a day off. Many don't know that Moses was...

well, it's just good Jesus wasn't born during the busy times of Spring planting or Autumn harvesting. That could have messed things up. Do they still let us call July Fourth "Independance Day"? or does that have bad conotations, you know due to the movie and the history of it all.

what's the over/under on sea level for 2020?

to tell children, "We close for our Christmas but not for your gibberish holiday and you can either submit to our religious holiday or go back where you came from but we aint ever going to close for you and we aint going to be open for you on our Holiday!" is I suppose an idea.

why are American schools (and for that matter all government offices) closed on Christmas?

so you don't think the sun has anything to do with the climate. I'll mark you down as a "Believer."

hard to separate a child from a Holiday

ok, I'll bump ya, since you seem to be the only one who still believes in global warming and I'm the only one who believes in global cooling, do you ever do any matchups with sunspots to your co2 models?

who would you rather have own that land USA or Exxon? Or, what's the difference? Most of that land owned by the government in my state is either big reservoirs, forests or military bases.

and then it could be all of China, including their stock market is run by hackers.

if the markets are linked then their is going to be hell to pay. It took a helluva bubble in the China stockmarket just to keep the USA even for 2015.
