This is posted in a trader forum and no one knows what they're saying. Initial impression is that they're crazy.

The Wii is clearly the answer, or maybe a portable game system that other kids at her school use, but you shouldn't shy away from certain games because they seem for "boys" only, they actually make them for both genders.

I think these days it's related to rebates the casino gives you, don't remember why they'd give you these rebates, but there you do.

Smallest airforce in history? talk about creative accounting. The jets of today can each cost hundreds of millions of dollars, the days of thousand aircraft forces are over. I guess the rhetoric is shaping up to stop the automatic cuts, a pity. Someone should remind these bozos why they are...

I think the reason you failed is because what you really care about is writing? The story is good and you should stick to that.

This is funny, why didn't the Tea Partiers think of it? Starving the beast and all that. In fact, why don't the Tea Partiers support OWS now?

And that's why Australia is probably already in a recession.

Wow, say it ain't so, he finally fell. At least he will have more time for his other big love.

Oh hi, another libertarian. I bet you think that railroads or steel plants being very profitable and holding a lot of power in the market, or even Standard Oil, are all things that didn't happen in that golden era of yours. If you're going to call others ignorant, you might first want to...

Possibly. But what is really racist is China keeping capital controls and thus money that makes it to China, never comes back.

I tend to trust, and especially encourage, the dissenting views on Steve Jobs. It is after all a quality for a trade or investor to be able to disagree from the majority, and the majority only want to hear good things about Steve Jobs. I also tend to believe the stories because I know from...

I'm really tired of RT stories on Libya. They have almost continuously, every single day, since the NATO operations began, tried to smear the campaign with every angle they could find. They probably won't even stop even if there develops a genuine democracy (and everyone is honest that it's not...

This is kind of stupid. Mutual funds, insurance companies, asset management firms? Maybe we can have an intelligent conversation on how these big institutional investors influence things but I have a hard time thinking the power they exercise is political.

Please tell me why the euro is fucked.

What about the American Revolution? What about the Chinese Revolution? It's simply ignorant to say that revolutions lead to someone like Stalin taking power. Yes, there is a power vacuum, but a revolution is a turning point. The country can go up, or down. And revolutions happen because people...

Having foreigners own everything in your country is a consequence of having an uncompetitive economy. After all, it's all just finance. Your economy sucks, the pound goes down, foreigners come in to pick up assets on the cheap. UK's time is past. They became powerful centuries ago and to...

What is that, a 20 year chart? Sure, everyone get bullish, see you in 3 years to see if that was a good call!

Intellectual property was going to get more draconian every decade anyway. Having a generation that pushes things in the other direction, if only for a while, is healthy to me.

There is some truth to saying that high marginal tax rates can lead to economic growth. Take for example high capital gains taxes. This encourages those with excess savings not to shift them around in stocks but to committ them to production and hard assets where they can escape the tax, thus...

Why do you say that? Are you using as a basis that you need growth to put people to work? That's not true. The amount of growth needed to create jobs depends on the industries and on how capital intensive or labor intensive the economy is. The more you demand that growth be accelerated, the more...
