Who are you hearing will get exemptions?

It's not about choosing the replacements- it's about the politicians putting the country first instead of worrying about being re-elected first.

Aren't they increasing margins again on Monday?

I don't think we need to worry about Lescor's mindset here. Down weeks happen all the time, this just happened to come at the beginning of the year. Assuming he's stuck with his system, taking a break would be the last thing he should do right now IMO. I guess what I'm saying is, losing...

I agree with this- assuming your strategy aims for consistency and not the home run, tell him by trying to help him get his money back quickly he'd be breaking the rules yet again. Stick to the plan, see how it goes. If at the end of a year he made money trading your strategy but was down...

Check again, the number's not even close to 10%.

I'm sure that would've worked just as well as everything else they get their hands on! I wasn't blaming the increase all on Obamacare, I was just responding to this post- "Obamacare, as you style it, must have very hidden taxes indeed, because no one I know is paying one thin dime more...

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but I do think a lot of it is political. Liberals want everyone treated equally, whether you're a fat slob who hasn't seen your belly button in decades or a triathelete, and that's exactly what Obamacare is going to do- allow previously uninsurable...

I've had the same health plan for years, and while it's ridiculous how expensive it is and how it continues to go up every year, it's never gone up half as much as this in a single year. While it's nice and all that 30MM more people are going to have health insurance coverage, and millions...

My health insurance premiums are going up by more than 26% next month.

They did release preliminary results and Q4 guidance as well (apparently in the same press release as the scandal). http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/story/10830128/1/h-p-raises-guidance-as-ceo-resigns.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA

Lot's of people have spoken out against something publicly, only to vote the other way when the time came (especially if some pork gets slipped in for them). See my previous post- I suspect many of the democrats that are "against" the FTT are only saying that because there is an election coming...

Again, I'm pretty confident it won't pass either, but I can't rule anything out with this crew. What if they wanted to use reconciliation for this next year? What if they "slipped" it into some other bill? Part of the reason some democrats are "against" this bill is because of the election...

You're probably right, but the Republican's have been "dead set against" the health care reform bill, financial overhaul, etc., and they still passed. All it takes is a little tweaking, and as we've seen, enough Republicans can be swayed to "change their minds". They can throw something into...

There are so many differences between the two- Neke's biggest loss of the year (over 100K) is from an options trade, something Lescor rarely if ever does. Neke went into his "adventure" expecting a max draw down of 40%, much higher than what Lescor would expect. Neke is (was) more of a...

You obviously haven't paid too close attention to either journal, because there are far more differences than similarities (the most obvious being the equity curves).

Geithner said the nations aren’t “on the verge of a global consensus” on a bank tax. “There’s not universal support for that across the G-20, at least at this stage, and I don’t think that’s going to change in Korea.”...

I wouldn't worry about it. Who knows what is going to end up happening when the dust settles, but even if they ban prop trading by banks, it won't just go away- they'll just spin off that division into a separate company most likely.

When you do see a cut in social programs coming? It obviously should happen, but I can't see it with this administration.
