Bill Maher mocking Glenn Beck

LOL....you are Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over thinking this trading thing.

This is exactly why youngsters are best for training.


Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Other than being a criminal there's few livelihoods more parasitic than being a trader.

If I'm lucky enough to have on a rare winning short position do I not rejoice at my good fortune even though it comes at the expense of widows and orphans?

Sucsessful speculation is nothing more than adeptly front running new orders.
Who do those market moving orders belong to? Pension funds and the like. So a GOOD DAY for a trader is a day where he lifted offers in front of a size buyer and caused an already under performing pension fund to pay more for a stock they need. Noble stuff.

That's why these leftists in the Modern Trading World crack me up.

A generation or two ago, guys like Soros would've been targeted for death by groups like the Red Brigade. In a sense, rightfully so.

It's been clear to me for years why Soros and Buffet and more recently Tudor want to be perceived as "the people's billionaires." It's a duplicitous, self preservation front to deflect hatred and possibly murder.

If it meant a big year for the Quantum Fund Soros wouldn't care if he cut the purchasing power of an impoverished nation by half when raiding their currency.

Weirdly that's one of the things that ATTRACTED me to trading. The notion of being an economic terrorist. I wish i could bring down the treasury with one mouse click....
 
Has Limbaugh kicked the illegal Oxycontin habit he was paying his hispanic housekeeper to smuggle for him?

For the record, I'm a true libertarian, and think all drugs should be legalized, and that the war on drugs is a sham and a means to make more money for jail builders, police, etc., but this is dedicated to my neocon, populist buddy, Fat Boy Slim Rush Limbaugh:

Republicans don't have the market cornered on hypocrisy (Larry Craig, Duvall, Sanford, Jack Ryan, Duke Cunningham, that guy in Florida with the Boy Scout fetish), but they're getting there.
 
For those of you so obsessed with Rush:

Limbaugh Soars in August Radio Ratings, But When Will MSM Catch On?
September 15, 2009 - 14:04 ET

Brian Maloney at The Radio Equalizer blog noticed a development over the summer that seems to have escaped much of the news media: In a whole bunch of major radio markets -- from New York City to San Diego, with St. Louis in between -- Rush Limbaugh's listenership has surged: “As frustration with Obama's policies reached a boiling point during August, Americans clearly turned to Rush for help,” but “the state-run media has yet to take notice.”

Specifically, for KFI-AM in Los Angeles, Arbitron reported Limbaugh “gained a full share point overall, from 5.9 to 6.9 to take first place with a weekly cume of 635,700 listeners. With men 35-64, the jump was from 4.7 to 5.6. In the 11am hour, Rush pulled in a mammoth 6.3.” Yet, Maloney observed:

Judging by the coverage in the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register and Los Angeles Business Journal, this feat was somehow accomplished without the help of the medium's star performer, Rush Limbaugh. In covering the achievement, the latter two publications didn't even mention Rush, while the Times noted Limbaugh only in passing deep into one story and left him out of another entirely.

The numbers from some other large cities:

♦ In San Francisco, it was another big gain on KSFO, from 4.9 to 5.6 and a second-place ranking overall and 332,400 total listeners. In Nancy Pelosi's backyard, that's quite an achievement.

♦ In New York City, Limbaugh's audience share grew from 4.7 to 5.4, ranking fourth overall and with 653,500 listeners.

♦ Taking second overall in Chicago on WLS, the program moves from 5.0 to 5.3 to rank second with 319,700 tuning in. With men 35-64, it's a 5.7 to 6.0 gain.

♦ Houston delivers huge numbers for Limbaugh, with a 7.2 to 7.4 share gain and 337,300 listeners. With men 35-64, it's a staggering 9.8, up from 9.4 in July.

♦ In St Louis, it's an even bigger victory, with first place and a 10.8 share, up from 9.1 last month, logging 204,400 weekly listeners.

♦ Once again, Rush is number on in Detroit with 7.1 share overall, up from 6.2, 245,600 is the head count.

♦ In Seattle, Rush is number one in his time slot with a whopping 10.1 share on KTTH versus 9.3 in July. Audience is 159,500 in the Puget Sound Area.

♦ Phoenix outdoes even Seattle's tally with an 11.0 share, up from 10.5, good for first place. Head count: 245,600.

♦ San Diego provides another first place finish with a 7.7 share and 134,000 total audience.
 
Just great, at the time I am writing this, this thread has 324 views. That means this thread has actually doubled the amount of people who actually saw Bill Maher.

Pubix, you can file Bill Maher with every other left-wing talkshow host with no audience.
 
So you are a self confessed parasite...

No he is a moron and a nutcase. I thought michelle bachmann takes the cake for the nuttiest republican representative(past or present) but apparently it is kurt eckhardt or whatever the hell his name is.

Trading is a high risk/potentially high reward occupation. Traders provide liquidity and volatility, which is hardly parasitic when compared to a blowhard sitting in a chair with a "golden microphone" spouting the "the greatness of reagan, conservatism" and other nonsense. It is a criminal misallocation of resources to pay him over $40 million to do that.
 
I don't know about all that, but what is crystal is that Pabst views himself as a parasite...

When you blame pensions of government workers for financial problems of USA (at the local/state/federal level) you know you are dealing with someone who can go "postal". A tea party classic.
 
The rationalization would be that it is okay to be a parasite as long as you don't have to pay taxes to support other parasites...

Pabst must have a self image of a higher class of buzzards...
