forex traders are capitalists
…no one has ever done anything like this.
That’s why it’s going to work.
Mr. and Mrs. Salahi did a beautiful job of crashing Obama’s dinner party.
It will be a long time — if ever — before anyone else does it this well.
Look at Obama, grinning from ear to ear, because some blonde cutie is sucking up to him.
This is unfortuanately not a quote simply because I cannot find the video footage that I downloaded which is where I heard it but I’m going to do my best to paraphrase it.
It was a one hour Q & A session with a well known floor trader (I assume he’s well known although I cannot remember his name now) at the CME.
It went something like this:
Somebody in the audience asked the guy if it’s possible to beat a floor trader (with electronic trading). He said that it’s ‘impossible’ to beat a floor trader. The rest of his answer went something like this:
‘They say that 80% of all futures traders lose money. There are about 100 000 futures traders in Chicago. There are about 20 000 floor traders at the Merc. Do the math’.
(I’ll try to find the video that I downloaded and get his name, rank, and serial number as well as the exact quote).

Except me… I guess…
But more importantly,
AS I TYPE; WIKILEAKS ARE GOING LIVE!
Og boy, there`s a lot of stuff, highs civilian death count, torture, damn,
Only around 5% of them. 
Mhm, being from a semi-socialist country (we have a mixed economy, I know), I consider myself socialist. Of course, this does not mean I symphatise with USSR fascist pseudo-communist totalitarian regime; but of course, any intellectual on this forum would know that it`s not the same
I just simply think that the free market doesn`t work, and the government should control the macro economy using Keynesian economics. A natural progression of this, for me, would be socialism, and/or mixed economy…

Fidel Castro is one of my personal heroes for what he achieved.
He was always communist-inspired even in his youth, going to university in Cuba, however, he and Che had disputes of to which degree they were communist-influenced.
Although I have not agreed with a lot of his stuff, such as limiting freedom of speech to a certain degree, it is undeniable that Cuba would be worse off under that prick Batista.
Fidel just came out, at any rate, and admitted that he has been too strict in certain areas. That is pragmatism, perhaps other countries should be equally honest?
“They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?”
~Fidel Castro
Damn. This thread has gotten as depressing as the Cuban economy. — On a lighter note:
Yogi Berra’s wife, Carmen, once asked him:
"Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we live in New Jersey, and you played baseball in New York.
If you die before I do, where would you like me to have you buried?"
Yogi replied, "Surprise me."Maybe we should place a trading embargo for 50 years, maybe that will help.
Oh wait…
SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW ELEMENT
Oxford University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.
Hahahahahaha!!!
Now that’s FUNNY!!
And SOOOOO true:(

Every year, English teachers from across the country can submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers across the country.
Here are last year’s winners…

Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
-
His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
-
He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
-
She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
-
McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
-
From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. Instead of 7:30.
-
Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
-
The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
-
Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. Traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m., at a speed of 35 mph.
-
They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.

The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
-
It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
:D:D
Sweet Pip, I’m shocked. Shocked!
Sweet Pip,
That list of analogies and metaphors is priceless. Thanks!
Maybe we should let the USSR place nuclear missiles on Cuba pointed against the US - yeah, that’s a good way of maintaining a healthy relationship with our neighbor the US.
Oh wait…
Wonderful post Sweetpip!
Great to have you on forex, because you want give all your money to us? Or do you want it from others? I am confused … 
“The only thing what socialists understand about money is how they can steal it from others.”
That was my own free translation originally mentioned by Adenauer.
Buckscoder: Are you genuinely confused, or are you trying to be a smart ass? lol. Im here to make money, to learn the game. That doesnt change the fact that I`d happily pay more taxes so that I know when the old lady across the street falls and smashes her hips, she could get help.
If you guys want to seriously debate this, Im all for it, but if you guys will keep up the dumbing down of quote mining, sarcastic remarks, and further showing your ignorance of the subject matter, I will not reply. Seriously, man up and show some respect. Act your age, Im guessing most people here are over the age of 15…
Lol I`m not trying to be an asshole here, I swear.
I know this is a quote thread, sorry. Perhaps admin would be so kind as to open a politics sub-forum?
Thanks,
have a good day
OH, to lighten teh tone a bit:
“[as President] Ms. Spears, listen to me very carefully. If I see you within 30 meters of a stage, a microphone, or a recording studio, I’m going to send you and your entire bloodline to Luxembourg for the rest of your life. “But Mr. President, with all due respect…” Ms. Spears, now I’m going to say something to you that millions of people all over the world have wanted to say to you, but their lungs just don’t have enough power to carry over the fence to get to your tiny little tin ears. Ms. Spears, SHUT THE **** UP!”
