    How do illegals get free healthcare?

    If he screwed up, sue him for malpractice. That way if he did it on purpose, it might stop him from doing it again to someone else.

    Treasure hunting at the bank.

    I've actually gotten a mercury dime in change from mcdonalds once. Happened about 2 months ago. Even though the dime is only worth about 1.50, its really exciting to get free silver :)

    Treasure hunting at the bank.

    Another way is pennies too. There is a virtual gold mine in pennies. Every 1 dollar of pre-1982 pennies is worth $2.45 in copper melt value. Although sorting through 1000s of pennies and straining to see the dates isnt too fun. But you do get lucky with lots of wheat pennies and the...

    Big Education's Price Gouging Leads to Protests

    Treasure hunting at the bank.

    I saw on youtube somewhere that if you go the bank and ask for 50 cent pieces, there is a good chance you might get a few silver pieces. So i go to the bank last week and ask if i can buy their 50 cent pieces. They tell me they dont have any but they can order them but i have to order a...

    Broke people are buying million dollar houses again.

    You really gotta be a fool with new money to pay 150 million dollars for that. It would actually be cheaper to buy a couple of the 5 million dollar properties next to that house, demolish them, then build an identical house save 100 million in the process. It cant cost any more than 20...

    Stop losses. Are they the tools of winners or losers?

    When i say stop losses, im talking about the traders who put their stop loss order in as soon as they enter the trade. Of course i will exit a trade if need be, but i dont decide at the beginning of the trade what my price point will be. I have to look at all the factors while im in the trade...

    Stop losses. Are they the tools of winners or losers?

    I dont use stop losses, but some people freak out on here when i tell them that. They say that the majority of traders lose money, but i notice the majority of traders in here use stop losses... Im wondering if there is any relation. I've only ever met 1 guy that makes 7 figures per year...

    132 pip loss today. Ouch.

    I dont think its crazy. I actually do the opposite sometimes. I will put an order in to buy at a certain price if im not in a position while im sleeping, or if im in a position sometimes i put an order in to sell if i make so many pips. But i never put a stop loss.

    132 pip loss today. Ouch.

    Actually between that 132 pip loss and 227 win, i was just barely up. I had 3 lots with the 132 pip loss and 2 lots with the 227 pip wins, so in reality it was like i had a 60 pip win really. But between 4:18 am and 10 or 11am, I added another 116 pips so it was a pretty good day. On a...

    132 pip loss today. Ouch.

    Actually its the other way around. Forex traders eat alive people with stops. Forex brokers, even more so. They love nothing more than to spike a price just to hit your stop. Dont tell me you've never seen this happen.

    132 pip loss today. Ouch.

    Checked em. No 500 pip moves in a short time frame. Found a 400 pip move over about a 12 hour period, but thats not really what i would call a short time frame. Short time frame to me is 1 or 2 hours though. Maybe a short time frame to you is 1 or 2 days, i dontknow. ....bah you...
