Quote from Pekelo:

That is the whole point. Peterffy argues that under a Rep government we would be less socialistic


Where does he say that??

===============

By simply saying "thzis time I vill wote Republican"....


It is implied...does NOT have to actually SAY IT!

no wonder you have problems with IB support.
"I am sure many will say what about customer service....oh yes that...just start the department all over again....they seem pissed off, annoyed and bored and uninterested in helping when you call for help. Not including uninformed and lack of knowledge."
 
Quote from d08:

I agree. Every other advert on Bloomberg over here is bought by IB, makes me think how much is IB actually wasting money on that and not improving its products.

This Peterffy ad just comes off as unprofessional, this might be telling us that IB will be going downhill from here.

Your comment re the Peterffy ad being unprofessional really surprised me, and illustrated for me how differently two people looking at the exact same ad can parse it in their minds. When I saw it, I thought it was both professional and very effective because of its personal touch and because it is a break from the usual mold of political ads.

Oddly, Peterffly wants us to associate communist socialism in Hungary of the late 1940's with a 21st Century U.S., somehow as if the most thoroughly capitalist nation the world has ever known was in danger of becoming communist. Because of this [imaginary] danger he is voting Republican. Curiously, if you simply alter his final words to say instead: "That's why I'm voting Democrat." The ad becomes just as effective in the other direction.

Oldtime's rather hilarious examples of would-be, personal, political ads illustrated, for me anyway, how we are seldom given any rational reason for voting one way or another in a political ad, but the ads apparently still work because we are such irrational and susceptible targets for the expert psychologists of Madison Avenue.
 
PIEZOE...

Truly interesting analysis.

I think at the end what all or most of us here care about is the platform that we use to trade and (hopefully) make money.

On a related note...while many are highly respected business and community leaders, why do older people not know when to quit?

Petterffy with his "communist/socialist" comparisons...

McCain with repeating that "under Obama the Middle East is in turmoil"...yes of course, because it has always been so calm and peaceful!!!

Jack Welch...by doubting the last unemployment report and the BLS...

Mayor Guliani (America's Mayor), with idiotic anti Obama statements...

Don't they have advisors to tell them when to quit, furthermore do they need advisors to tell them that?

Many sports figures, quit when they reach the top!

the quote was from you and was in response to your post therefore what conclusion can one draw?
 
indeed...and that is the reason I asked?...specifically what are you referring to, when you say "no wonder..."

What specifically triggered your comment?

Thank you.
