There is a company who has figured out how to make oil identical in molecular structure using some sort of process. My point is they *make* it, not find it. I was reading about this about a year ago, let me see if I can dig up the links. Hopefully, they're still around and not bought up and...

gold, commodities, the stuff you buy with currency.

Just quoting you because you reminded me about anesthesiologists. Most of them around here don't take insurance. Not very possible to have a surgery without using one, though. Just one more thing that's broken.

Because they specialize in cutbacks? Outsourcing is a bit part of their bread and butter, whether it be helping people outsource to overseas or their services division, that will do your project for you.

*SO* agree! I try to tote around my records and know them intimately whenever I have a problem (not often, 2003 was the last time I really had a problem), but most docs charge you $25 to get a copy of the records. If you don't know what tests have been run, then the specialists usually don't...

Just wondering if you've totally written off trying to trade SPY as a lead-in to trading ES? I'm wondering if the $/tick is making you a bit nervous with ES after trading 100 shares of stocks at a time for so long. It is quite a leap in $ for the same amount of movement.

Are people just living with more roommates? That's my logical conclusion since houses aren't selling and vacancies are up. Unless, the US is being drained of residents quickly, which I guess is also possible. Guess I'll research that some if I keep wondering about it.

If you were doing very well trading SPY options, why not increase the size of those trades instead of trying to branch out into areas you aren't comfortable with? It's not necessary to constantly challenge yourself, if you have a profitable system, just stick with it.

Nice vision, you are a true optimist. This I think will come to pass, but you realize it will take decades, right? I'm not knocking you at all, I've just been looking at it from a historical perspective, and I really think that's the timeframe. For change at that kind of level, when...

You're off, the NQ position is only down 740k (looking at what NQ is trading at right now). I think you used $50/pt instead of $20/pt. Just FYI, your point remains the same.

This stat seems to me to be useless. Of course, if you died from it, that was the greatest medical issue you ever faced, and probably the most medical cost you ever incurred. It's like saying "why do I always find what I lose in the last place I look?"

It will be interesting when the iPhone starts getting on other networks besides AT&T. Apple's already talked to Verizon, that will seriously eat into RIMM's business.

How many years of data do you want for each stock?

Can't you just get double the # of shares of SPY, or would this overextend your margin?

Yes, it is. There's a place to go to find out: http://www.ici.org/ TrimTabs has the data before the site above does, but I don't have a subscription. Sometimes they splash it across their front page, though.

Here's some guesses http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSTRE54E4FQ20090515?virtualBrandChannel=10531 , I've seen CSCO tossed around a lot.

No shares available to borrow most places. Guess if you're convinced, you can write mass quantities of naked calls.

They can run arbitration algorithms using derivatives and the underlying baskets of stocks. So, really, whatever has the most pressure on it at any given moment has "control," IMO.

You've just described almost every group with power in the whole world lol Capitalism doesn't reward intelligence for the most part, it rewards marketing, all the way from leaders running running for office down to a high school student trying to get into the best college. Why do we expect a...

If I was going to be able to pull in over $100k/speech for much of the rest of my life, I'm not sure I'd take on any risk with my savings, either. Why bother?
