Thanks for posting that chart, from the way I see that data - we're not even at historic lows on volitility yet so it can get much worse. Furthermore, it seems we're right at the historical average for annual volitility which seems to be about 10% for the DOW. Am I wrong? I'd also like to add...

Okay so you're doing well and you don't want to rock the boat by switching brokers, thats fine. Thanks for the offer, but I don't want your trading summary - you have nothing to prove to me and have nothing to gain from that. I'm just saying that we've seen to many jokers come here making wild...

No offense cheetos, if your that good right from the start then your a natural and a great trader, more power to you. But what sets my BS meter off is that if you're smart enough to grow your account that fast and that consistantly, why aren't you smart enough to realize that you could make...

Is volitility really at historic lows? During the choppy market from around 1960-1980 it may have been lower (not really sure, I'm asking). If it is at historic lows maybe its because record low commisions costs, record high program trading, and a proliferation of hedge funds. Hate to say its...

Haliburton *maybe* the only company willing/able to do that work but that still doesn't explain why they're getting no-bid contracts. Nothing smells more communist than no-bid contracts. If the government has a project, why not put it up for bid? Five companies bid, HAL bids the highest, but...

Price caps on CEO compensation - no way, bad idea - road to hell paved with good intentions. Keep in mind the XOM is the biggest corporation in the world so of course this guy is going to get the biggest comp. package out there. To put it in perspective: divide Raymond's total comp while at...

Massive political change requires massive pychological change. For decades now, people have assumed that big government is okay and that the governement can be trusted with more power. People believe this despite evidence to the contrary. For decades now, growing government size and power has...

Iran is supplying the terrorists in Iraq with ever more deadier bombs, military type bombs that can peice through any kind of armour. They are formenting civil war in Iraq to drive up American causalties until America leaves. And they're trying to wage an economic war with America by attacking...

yawn....the flip side of tragedy is comedy guys so have a good laugh, its all drama.

She gave him head!! She gave her parapalegic husband head (I heard from Howard Stern). Now thats the kind of wife every guy wants. God bless ya sweetheart, R.I.P.

http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0221-26.htm If Roberts and Alito don't side with private property on this issue then that would be the biggest failure of the Bush Admin. Cause the pinks seem like they may seize government control in 2006 and 2008. We need powerful property rights...

Thanks for the link. Loved it, classic W.B in regards to the part about the brokers, managers, and hedgefunds who as a whole can't outperform the market.

Vouchers and charter schools would do wonders for America.

Exactly, it is a natural ratio of wealth distribution - in the economy, and in the markets throughout thousands of years of history. Even in nature, some critter lays 100 eggs and only less than 10 make it to adulthood. Only the strong get rewarded, and everyone has an opportunity to become...

Hope Roberts and Alito pull thru on this one. Hope they don't let those who wear pink underwear defeat property rights on this important issue.

Interesting links, especially the user illusion book.

Okay well some cities only allow increases up to only 50% of CPI increases so thats about 2% a year. So now if all landlords followed the law, then theres basically no incentive to maintain, repair, and rennovate the housing stock - because your money's better off sitting in the bank. Besides...

No its not a tax issue, taxes have been paid in full. With rent control, you basically can't charge market price for rent even if the tenant agrees to pay the market price and signs a lease to pay that price. Its not a tax issue. It an issue about housing and government interference with that...
