Jury nullification (what y'all is taking about) could have been written out of the constitution.. But it wasn't because they knew that there would be times when a community would believe that the "Law" was simply wrong. Even the framers didn't trust the government. Maybe they really were...

The legal grounds for a claim of self-defense varies a lot from state to state. I'd say (but can't be sure) that in the majority of jurisdictions, you lose the right once the threat is gone. So, if you get mugged and pull a Vulcan chain gun from your trench coat and the mugger runs away, you...

I'm not a peaker and I don't think my ax needs grinding today, so maybe it's worth looking at what variables are involved without trying to quantify the impact each may or may not have - bearing in mind that for everyone we can think of there are probably a few more we haven't. 1. drilling...

Why do I get the feeling I'm at grifter school? I'm kidding. Very informative. Thank you.

The main thing is lots of impressive sounding (if meaningless) jargon. No one will believe you're smarter than they are if they can actually understand anything you say. I tried marketing my 'goat entrail' system once, but it didn't have the right cache. So now I'm going with 'stochastic...

These were already mentioned 1. no script 2. key scrambler Here are 2 more 3. flashblock 4. BetterPrivacy If you're using anything other than Firefox, you have to switch. I'm no fanboy, but FF has the biggest number of useful plug-ins of any browser. Yes, Opera may be faster...

Maybe, but they sure as hell know how to flush you out. Volatility for the day was close to 10% (low to high). And let's conveniently forget to mention the after hours. It's been a couple minutes since I checked so who TF knows, it might be down 10%. That was a joke, I say, a joke son...

Maybe, but they sure as hell know how to flush you out. Volatility for the day was close to 10% (low to high). It sucks to be me. :(

What's this 'We' shit? :D Peekers. LOL! The end . . . oops . . . peak oil is near!!! :eek:

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in, but for now . . . I had heard (Bloomberg I think) that the supply of silver is determined in large part by how much the various mines want to pull out of the ground. In other words, it's not truly scarce. I mean it is, but at least one...

I don't know what's going on, but I almost whip-lash following the DTO chart this morning. I've got an 8% trailing stop that got executed by just 7 cents before it bounced back just over $3. Damn. All in about 15 min. I think I'm just going to watch and play with my chips.

Great article. That's what my gut has always told me, but, being a gut, it's not too articulate. Need smart head . . . make words . . . (rumble) What I like is the fact that the argument gets shot down before you even mention LNG or coal gassification The latter probably isn't a great...

The one good thing about peak oil is the fact that these camel-shit-kicking mother fuckers can go back to sucking sand once the wells run dry. And I hope the pigmen behind these types of abominations take the ride back to the stone age with them.

Maybe so. If you have some hard figures on commodity utilization, stockpiles, etc. then please share. All the media reports I've seen and heard either state or imply that China has been pigging out at the commodity trough and amassing multi-year stockpiles. Some things are understandable...

A few months ago when I heard that NG was low compared to crude and everyone was thinking that meant NG had to go higher, I was thinking just the opposite, that crude had to go lower. I didn't move on that trade because my timing is so bad it both sucks and blows. But with regulation of...

And as exports have dropped, they've been buying every kind of shelf-stable commodity. I don't know how much of that is pure speculation and how much is for delivery, but my impression is that they've been taking delivery. I wonder what happens when they figure out that what was previously a...

Thank you. I love how some people get a trading account and a subscription to the WSJ and suddenly think that they have a PhD in economics. Yeah. I got your PhD right here. To which they then respond that they know more than any PhD. Uh huh. I rest my case. Exactly. That's also...

It's called the multiplier effect. Why don't you look that up and get back to me. No one doubts that the stimulus program is an inefficient beast ladened with govt pork. The current status of the money multiplier is also unfortunate. My point is that as you get money into the hands of real...

I was hoping that if I didn't speak the name of 'he who cannot be named' that the Austrian school wouldn't come up. But then I still believe in the Easter bunny too. :D I had never heard of Von Mises until this year but he seems to have a devoted following. I did look at the the wikipedia...

Actually, elements of Keynes' theories have been a part of our economic policy since at least FDR. If you really believe what you posted, then you have a very jaundiced view modern macro-economic theory. One which is shared by many people, but jaundiced nonetheless. Also, the printing money...
