Wont stocks be a better safer bet? at least it is more liquid that a house with opaque pricing.

I thought we needed to shrink our deficit?

If stocks move like a random walk and you cannot time pricing for optimal gains over the long term. Doesn't it make sense to sell ATM puts on the index ETF (front month) VS buying the stock on the spot and get some compensation for the risk of holding stock. And sell ATM calls at the price...

Why is this illegal?

Why is it illegal to do this. they let other forms of protest in the usa but this seems wrong if they are harrasing him with the FBI.

The big problem I have is can I trust what the media folks say regarding tax issues, It makes it a little hard to trust these guys making millions a year obviously they have a vested issue when it comes to a tax increase. How do I know they are not being honest when it comes to reporting this...

But what is the gain from this?

But why does the media need to make such a big uproar and give him his 15 minutes. There are so many critical issues that the Media needs to tackle and make the public aware of. Why not focus on those matters? and just ignore the guy who wants to burn the koran, who cares its his choice.

When selling options, I prefer selling ATM or slightly ITM options with 30-45 days of life. once and a while I will sell a OTM if the price seems right. Usually I wait for some kind of big swing etc.. news activity and sell at those points. Do you guys like to stay close or far from strike...

I find it quite interesting that you do not see such a reaction when someone is beheades, not even the other religions. but burn a Koran, and the whole world is in an uproar. Now I think they should burn a pile of korans. I think just as the Muslims can build a minaret near the 9/11 site...

My question is why folks from trailer parks making 6 bucks an hour protest the tax increase? Not how the folks making 250K paying more taxes will do good.

You never see this protest from the muslims when they do something bad to non muslims. So why the uproar?

for the next 30 years! Good trading this markets, good for us bad for retirees and 401k holders. But this cow is meant for milking not slaughter.

If the Majority of americans make 250K and less, so the tax cut should not effect them. So how come so many people making much less than 250K seem to protest this? You see people coming out from trailer parks who obviously make minimum wage going to these rallies by Glen beck protesting the tax...

those that make money selling options? Because if HFT is gone or slows down wont it lower volatility and trading noise?

that is where I am confused. if you borrow money to buy a car and do not pay the bank repos the car. why do people think a house is different? no one forced anyone to borrow and buy a home.

HE wants to give a 100% tax credit on capital expenditures. But if a company has 15% Idle capital equipment and not enough demand to put it in use, why would they spend money adding more capacity just for the sake of a tax credit which really amounts to nothing when you end up factoring...

I guess a loophole, he gets a bunch of Interns from college grad pools and (Free labor) and recycles with every new graduation group. I wonder how many companies do this. And it seems colleges push this work for free for 1 year minimum after you graduate so you can get experience.
