I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to part2, if it's released. I know Vic has lots of Rand's original notes--- have you seen his collection?
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

The question is why does a capitalist hating, socialist librarian from the US's northern progressive neighbor post on a board dedicated to free markets, finance and the celebration of capitalism?

You obviously have issues with success in any form. The constant negation is getting boring.

As usual, you are at your finest between posts. Even so, shouldn't you be discussing Bugattis when not placing your 1- or 2-contract trades?
 
I heard about it from Rearden.

It is awesome that Vic has those originals. I need to come to the Speculators Party this year, even though I no longer "Trade" for a living.

I need to eat crow and tell VIC, and MR. E that they were right about Day Trading Firms....lol.

By the way, You better get ready for the LIES coming from the FED in a few. Looks like the boys at the CME are sleeping till the Press Conference.

Yeah, I'm speculating on a sell off soon. Vic hosted the event at his house first time in several years last year. Unfortunately, I missed it. Will definitely try to be there this year.
Wonder what ever happened to that original crew back in 2003 or so??

Ps. You should volunteer the sound system for this year. But only bring the show tunes. Lol!
 
SHOW TUNES....lol


Keep me posted on the date this year.

I will email VIC to warn them I am coming.


I think Vic let the Speculator list kinda go for a while. 2003 crew left.

Yeah, it's not been cutting edge for quite awhile. Vic likely remembers you as the guy with the orange hair. I'm sure you will be welcomed back. Mr E is no longer on the list as far as I know--- that guy never liked me.

I believe the Film costed near 10 million or so.

Correct, and will end its US run with 2 mill. So from an investing POV, nobody will put up the money for Part 2. Unless someone wants it as a vanity project, like the Friday music video...

According to the director: "Critics, you win."

Mind you, you can make a bad movie out of an excellent book like Battlefield Earth. Oh, nevermind.....
 
Quote from Gabfly1:

And what baffles me is that the Right doesn't wish to even consider tax increases during raging budget deficits and after the rich had the ride of their lives during the Bush years. The rich got very rich under Bush, while everyone else largely stagnated in the aggregate. Now that it's time to pay the check, the Right wants to right all the wrongs on the backs of the vulnerable and not even touch the tax policy that greatly widened the divide and contributed to the current state of affairs. Talk about having your cake and eating it, too.

Is it not possible to balance budgets through decreased spending instead of higher taxes? What bothers me is that you don't even consider this possibility. Again, it baffles me how some can think that taxes aren't high enough. It's spending that's the problem. But I guess it all depends on what you want from your government.

Some of us want government to provide the essentials, and any other program that the government can provide more efficiently than the private sector. Others want a nanny-state whereby government holds your hand your entire life. All personal preference I guess...

Hardly. It is you Far Rightsters who are totally unwilling to look at the revenue side of the equation in the face of the obvious. First, the treasury is obliterated with trickle down, and now you want to fix it solely with spending cuts. Talk about a one-way agenda...
