Ah. Well. What more is there to say?

The philanthrophy thing hasn't worked out very well over the past several thousand years or so. I see no reason to believe that it will suddenly catch hold today, particularly since the rich are doing their very best to screw just about everybody.

We white Americans all-too-seldom reflect upon the issue of racism, because we don’t have to. We don’t have to think about it, because the system is set up to benefit us, at the expense of people of color, without our ever doing anything mean or unkind, so it is very easy never to even...

One way or another, inversions are clearly damaging. If they continue, they’ll shift the taxation burden more firmly than ever onto others, including onto the shoulders of small businesses — those bakeries, printing companies, hair salons and other local employers who don’t have the...

Ayn Rand’s libertarian “Groundhog Day”: Billionaire greed, deregulation and the myth that markets aren’t free enough Wall Street wrecks the economy, and we keep pretending they're heroes worth emulating. Maybe we really are suckers more . . .

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — More tests are needed to ensure that toxins are out of Toledo's water supply, the mayor said Sunday, instructing the 400,000 people in the region to avoid drinking tap water for a second day. Mayor D. Michael Collins said although new samples have shown the level of...

It's going to be interesting about 30 years from now when nobody's around to argue about it.

You appear to be making my point for me. Or were you going for something else?

Actually it's nature that's taking people's property.

Defining corrections by percentages doesn't matter as much as being able to detect changes in the trend of price movement. One may, for example, wait for "20%", then not have the courage to buy if and when price falls that much. Detecting these changes isn't a matter of charts and indicators...

Do you really believe all of this or are you being satirical? If the former, you ought to read up on Chicago in the 1920s.

The real American being . . . ?

It also explains a lot of the posts made on ET.

Yep, that's a problem.

And you continue to confuse emotional ranting with rational thought. It's big, wide, wonderful world.

Kids.

And, for grins, the NDX. If we bounce off the mean of the next older channel (we just fell out of the most recent one), we'll be doing so at about the same time that the SPX reaches the bottom of its channel (above). If we drop all the way to the lower limit, that'll be 10%.

Or "c", better people. But given that "good" people have held only a razor-thin edge over "bad" over ten thousand years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
