    "George Bush doesn't care about black people"-Kanye West (known racist and egomaniac) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIUzLpO1kxI Don't blame the black mayor or the dozens of black city officials. Blame the white man (as usual). Thank goodness people like Kanye are heroes to the black...

    $5 homes for Katrina "victims" courtesy of the US taxpaer

    Agreed. Also, I think the mayor and the local government got off pretty easy. That's what happens with the media though, the black mayor and council got a free pass and pinned it on the evil white president.

    $5 homes for Katrina "victims" courtesy of the US taxpaer

    The people of New Orleans had a few days to evacuate and chose to stay, the people of Indonesia had no warning at all.

    Obama does not read books

    Taking money from hard working Americans and giving it to ACORN and other special interest groups is hardly "tackling problems". Next thing you know he will start giving out "tax credits" to people who don't even pay taxes. Oh right, he already did that.

    Pro NY trader goes from 200k salary down to 25k

    He must have the patience of a Buddhist monk. I don't think I could sit on a train 4 hours a day. I get angry when I hit two consecutive red lights. :)

    Pro NY trader goes from 200k salary down to 25k

    That's awful. Why would he do that? That ride must be 1:30 minutes each way, minimum. At some point you have to think "How much is my time worth?".

    Then move to Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Edgewater, or someplace else within a 10-15 minute PATH or ferry ride. Would have saved 20-40% extra on his take home pay for a minor commute.

    Pro NY trader goes from 200k salary down to 25k

    Exactly my point. He should have moved to the burbs, bought a nice 500k house and commuted 45-60 minutes.

    Pro NY trader goes from 200k salary down to 25k

    Good post Landis. Great point about his "take home pay", probably $110,000, but to make a point, let's take the absolute high and say $125,000. --------------------------------------------- From the article-- "Last month, for the first time, the Arayas didn't make a mortgage payment...

    Any good prop firms in NYC that are 100% Jewish?

    I heard Goumba LLC and Guido Trading in Brooklyn were decent, but you have to deal with the excessive screaming and roid rages from all the 5'6" guys with Napolean complexes. Also, avoid DrunkCapital and Chink LLC in Manhattan. I've heard negative things about them. Good luck. Hope you can...

    The Emergence of President Obama's Muslim Roots

    What do you expect? Did you really think the 98% of blacks who voted for him have any idea about his history or political views? Fuck no. All they wanted was to "get the black man in as president". Now the whole country gets stuck with an incompetant, ill-prepared, socialist who is fucking...

    Should I Sleep Fine Having Shorts Over This Weekend?

    For the 1000th time, FAS and FAZ do not correlate over time with what the financials are doing. Leveraged ETF's are for intraday and short term swing trades only.

    My Experience at a Prop Firm

    I have that loser TRYKtrading on ignore, but I just read his whiny response when TrueProp quoted him. You can tell he is a complete failure just by the anger he shows towards successful traders. TRYKtrading = Failed Prop Trader Put that mook on ignore so you're not subjected to his...

    Israel is using Force Protection vehicles to roll into Gaza time to buy FRPT

    Yes, but before that it went from the lows 6's to the lows 4's. In fact, if you bought it when you started this thread, you would have been down 30% within two months. The only reason why you brought back this thread was b/c FRPT has had a big run over the last week, otherwise it would...

    Baseball Tickets Affordable As Recession Hits Scalpers (Less Than 1/2 of face value)

    One block up from Yankee tavern, same side of the street. It's a restaurant/deli with tinted glass, can't miss it. Take out orders are ready in 5 minutes. They even put your order into clear plastic bags so Yankee security doesn't hassle you at the gate. Not as good as Katz's (is anyone?)...

    Baseball Tickets Affordable As Recession Hits Scalpers (Less Than 1/2 of face value)

    Yankees Stadium (both old and new) allowed this. One of the best pastrami sandwiches in NY is only a few blocks away (towards Grand Concourse). We amost always stop there before the game and take sandwiches in with us.

    The Coming 2nd Crash; It's On The Way

    The data on the chart is from Jan '07, almost 2 1/2 years ago. I don't think it's reliable considering what has happened in just the last 8 months alone. I would bet the majority of those resets in 2010-2011 have either already been foreclosed or have refinanced to a much lower fixed rate.
