Case in point NBC calling Wisconsin to Obama. Numbers show only 14% of the votes are in. Of those 53% for Romney to 46% Obama. Yet they are calling the state as a win for Obama. Thanks for your explanation

Sam Government: "It is well know to everyone that a kick in the balls can cause enormous pain, risk of fertility problems and ultimately a great threat to the possibility of procreation of the population of our great country." John Citizen: "yes, hurray, we want the full force of our...

Agree. Better education and taxation can complement each other. As i mentioned i have a particular interest in education. I actually think that including metrics like BMI during basic education years up to high school should be part of the system. An additional performance variable during...

Bingo!! +1 Imagine the day Shaq says that the double burger tastes much better with carrot sticks than french fries. And the LeBron James of America saying how the cool popular kid in school is the one that uses his bike to go to school and the loser has to drive a car. And Eminem's song...

Yeah, freedom...the magical word, sadly, rarely used within context. Problem with your stance is that the current state-funded medical care and healthcare costs spread the financial burden among the population regardless of their health condition. If everyone was paying for their own...

Just to clarify, FAT Tax is a "generic name" given to the initiative as a revenue source for government. It is not intended to Tax fat people per se, there are several proposals for implementation but in general terms it will tax food products and raw materials that are known to be direct...

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing. Encouraging corporate profits disregarding the "how are those profits achieved" is just like shooting ourselves in the foot. Corporate profitability is the single largest source of unemployment. Funny thing is that as a society we've gotten to the...

I have a particular/personal interest in education, and certain social habits in society have developed as a result of our "education" system(some are good, some not so). One of them being eating. I saw the interview of the tiger funds guy; and was surprised that a guy in hedge fund industry...

I do not advocate any type of discrimination; and the way i interpret the concept would not discriminate in any way as it would be applied to sugar/fats without regard of the profile of the consumer. It basically leaves the option open, if people still want the daily dose of supersize large...

I've been discussing lack of preventing health initiatives and how the health industry is basically encouraging people to be diagnosed ("sick" for healthcare industry purposes) so there are more medicines sold and medical services provided. Heart related diseases are affected by eating...

Health care Legal system needs a huge flush. Lawyers and insurance companies are just too onerous and that makes healthcare costs go way high. PREVENTION is non existent in this society when ignorant people confuse the "freedom of choice" with "individual irresponsability". Physical...

You are incorrect. Not because of your opinion being wrong, but because of dismissing a view that is different of yours as "wrong". By definition, knowing that traders have different risk profiles, use different time frames, etc , provides for multiple trade management approaches. In your...

This is exactly what's going to happen. Reminds me of that commercial of a credit/debit card in which everything rolled smoothly until someone wanted to pay in cash... CC companies will ramp up the fees, people will cancel their credit cards, shift to debit cards. If they ramp up the...

They build their position while downgrading the stock, now that position is ripe and the price is high, they "upgrade" the stock to a "strong buy" so they can conveniently sell. Rinse and repeat, while people applaud. What a shame!!

Zuckerberg is er...a Zucker based on this valuation. Does FB have value? Certainly, and now with unemployment skyrocketing there will be a lot more activity on those boards. Does FB have 4 Billion worth of value? Absolutely not. Don't be a dick for a tick, Zucker, lifecycle of...

This is your third/fourth attempt to deviate the course of this thread. Unsuccessfully i might add. What's with the useless need of verification? The validity/efficiency/usefulness of Proflogic's method is there (by the number of people admittedly using parts/all the system on their daily...

In an ideal world you'd pick apart the best out of everything and build what in your view would be perfection. In the real world good comes with some bad, you just have to pick your poison. IB TWS is a royal piece of Junk (the bad), unfortunately it is bundled with very low commissions in...

Light colors are easier on your eyes. More if sitting close to the computer screen. Try to set the background of all your Programs to light colors. Pastel colors come to mind. Avoid bright colors and high contrasts. Lime greens, Fucsias, bright reds, etc are to be avoided as the intensity is...

While not taking ALL the credit away from them, any mammal with average speech skills could do the same job with similar results. It is not them as talking heads, it's the reach of the infrastructure that does the damage. Can't recall the history icon that said that pen and paper could be...
