Exactly. He doesn't want to be called a "cornball brother".

Some teachers in TX carry guns.

Crime in FL is down sharply since they reformed their gun laws a few years back. I have a friend that works in Dallas. She says that teachers are allowed and encouraged to bring guns to school - kept in a safe manner in the classroom of course - If the guy had started shooting in that school...

I've long been in favor of some sort of system like this. Why should I spend the time to learn about the issues and candidates and form well constructed hypotheses on economic direction and candidate abilities...only to have my vote cancelled by Honey boo boo's mother? I agree with piezoe...

There were/are some very interesting and talented people on this forum. I knew more some years back when I was more active, then I blew up and went away for a few years...now I'm starting to get my mojo back. I just learned that riskarb became atticus. I thought the writing and greek fluency...

He who has the gold makes the rules.

There was a thread here about a year ago on the BRIC. I always thought they were running Broken Wing Butterflies - BWB.

...and wiping their butts with their bare hands. So if the world goes poof, what happens to my January naked puts?

Obama isn't that popular with anyone except blacks. Romney just wasn't a very likeable guy. Maybe more pictures of him pumping his own gas and going to Costco would have brought his image back to reality. I was surprised to see him actually doing those things after the election. The left...

Thanks Bob. I'm just thinking for later in life when I make my fortune and want to reduce my risk or just park cash somewhere. I agree with the OP wanting to plow elsewhere.

Just like the networks stopped showing streakers at sporting events years ago. Now I have to actually go to the game to see some "occupy" tent dwelling nutbag with his junk whipping in the wind get chased down by 19 overweight security guards followed by a hickory shampoo. I want to see...

I saw a TV commercial recently for bonds at IB. The screen shots made it look similar to any other liquid market you would see on TWS. Has anyone delved into bonds at IB?

As of that Form D filing (March 2011), she had two investors that appeared to have contributed 250K each. Under typical 506 exemptions, you get a minimum one year lockup and you can only have 35 non-accredited investors.

Bernanke also said in his prepared statement that a number below the target wasn't explicit justification for raising the target rate. They would also consider the sustainability of the rate, workforce participation rate, economic conditions affecting the trend and various other qualitative...

Yes...the infamous Mexican strangle. A giant put sold and hedged with a purchased plane ticket to Mexico.

No.

Vix 25 is actually where I exit these days. I don't come back until it spends 3-4 days in the 20-22 range. The whole "putting in a top" thing is for people smarter than me!!! I ran a fund for some years and did quite well. Then it all fell apart.

I think they have to change the name at some point, because it will get a bad reputation. Everyone was a rapper until too many murders were committed by rappers, then they became "hip hop artists".

Not without some very specific explaining. You can't have the S&P get cut in half and not blow up when you are picking up nickels in front of a steamroller...unless you have some rules that help you step away. Maybe that's the case, but I didn't hear that or see anyone elude to it here...

If there's one thing I've learned from doing this for so many years...and blowing up more than once...it's that you need to have a set of rules for stepping away. And coming back. Whether that's Delta based or a front month VIX number, there has to be a time where you declare the market...
