It appears some of us are interested in the business of trading, hopefully for both fun and profit.
Here's a place to talk about that. I suggest two main categories. How to trade (timeless), and what are you trading now, and why, and how it turned out. Those tend to be missing from the pro boards, so pundits can have selective memory....but that's not all that is important. Being wrong is part of the game, and how to handle it and make money anyway is crucial, for just one example.

The usual. Be nice, be informative, tell it like it is.
DHS is buying targets that look like this as part of a new effort named "no hesitation" when shooting civilians. That's just gross.
H/T Ryan for sending me the link.
DHS is buying targets like these for practice.
Other targets at the link show an old man with a shotgun defending his home, children....this is sickening. I, as a target shooter and competitor, don't even shoot the "penguin" targets - too close to a human - I don't want to have the reflex of shooting humans or human-like things.

Yes, it's definitely disgusting!... and true... Though, I don't know that DHS is buying them it's sickening to think that anyone would.
These have since been taken off of the website since it started getting around, but it can be found in the cached form here (pictures have been deleted, but the descriptions say it all)...
Most of us here are well off the bottom of this chart, but also no where near the top, and from what I can tell - we all work pretty hard and DO provide value.

Italy just elected this guy. Whoa, how'd that happen. No wonder the CB's are in a scramble...to keep him from gaining any real power. We could use a guy like this - and this is from '98 - he catches on quick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... yCpidT53nY

As reported on ZH, PMbug, and other places...no western bank is now any safer than a Cyprus one. Reading the laws (some recent) you can be "haircut" in your deposits by any of them to avoid yet another taxpayer bailout. This *could* be a good thing - maybe we should demand they pay us more interest on our deposits, since it turns out that they DO put our money at real risk, and not just risk to their bonuses. In fact, BOFA/ML recently moved their prop trading division over so that it could use *your* funds in its risktaking. And we know from experience they aren't very good at that. No one knows whether this is an April Fools Joke or not - but here we have (from spain) the very first official "bank of mattress". Nice vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 2vp2fUqOPc
