Long term investment/derivates... = Good
Short term = Bad...

Everything seems simple when you can't comprehend the level of complication involved.

Some estimates place coal subsidies higher than nuclear per kwh. The problem is it's nearly impossible to follow all the money governments are throwing around. The energy economy is a complicated system and I have a nuclear engineering degree. We spent a lot of time discussing different energy sources and their pros/cons. I'm not working in the industry so I have no interest in telling you nuclear is great. I personally would love if more of our energy came from solar, geothermal, and wind, but nuclear IS one of the safest and cheapest sources of energy as of today. Taking into account all civilian nuclear accidents in the history of the world, nothing compares to nuclear's safety. You can do some research yourself on the matter. I believe you'll find what I say is true.

My point is, do some real research before you make an unsupported claim. If you want to

you know If you look at it competly objectively. Camping out on public property isn't that smart of an idea. I mean theres already laws in place and you'll be treated just like anyone else who would do the same. Nazi support rallies have to be protected but they follow all the laws set in front of them pretty well.

Yeah, once you have the massive government subsidies, limited liability and an already operating plant it's cheap.

Actually some rather large power companies are willing to foot the bill for a couple of plants. The problem is, the gvt. makes getting the license to construct, fuel, and then operate these plants near impossible. Its been 2+ years since i looked into this, though, and i don't remember who they are.

So not only is nuclear cheap for the consumer, its profitable enough for the private sector to want to run it.

Do you have a retirement account? Do you like the fact that the return is fairly consistent compared to the market as a whole? Thank derivatives and the people who trade them then.



I really hope not, my family is in the top 1% (not finance)

You just don't have to understand every bullshit some greedy assholes made up to get more money not caring about the consequences....

Trading for tradings sake is just bad and unecessary (investing is good!). Why do you think they are working right now at laws/taxes against "automated trading" or whatever exactly it's called?
"Shortterm" trading serves only the traders and has bad effects on all "others"..

I was being heavily sarcastic. They are Americans fighting to see the people who wrecked the economy be held accountable. You should thank them.

Apparently the Boston Police Department thinks that performing mass arrests and destroying tents, and signs at night means nobody is watching.

EDIT: Expect this to go viral as the cops are beating veterans.

Yeah and beating peaceful protesters, who are veterans, will just heighten the amount of shit that will hit the fan.

Concerning Boston: even though this may sound cynical to the people involved, police brutality and exclusion of the media while committing those crimes is something that will actually help the movement.

Happy to see the movement gaining so much momentum. When the thread startet I expected it to die down pretty quickly.

We had a similar case here recently where people were protesting against a huge new train station and the police destroyed the eyes of some poor senior with water cannons and was convicted of using agent provocateurs to get the whole water shooting startet.
Those actions always shed some light on who is the supresser and who are the supressed and evokes emotional sympathy for the protesters, even from people who were sceptical or opposed before the police brutality.

All the best to the protesters.

On a sidenote: Is it somehow possible to report Endymion? The guy has done nothing but offensive, dumb 1-line trolling for the last five pages that would have gotten any regular user banned a long time ago.

I think certain persons should think about contributing with links/news or discussion instead of quoting bumper stickers and throwing mud in this thread. I know the media and politicians are very much disagreeing on what is going on and why, but show some respect. Calling anyone "those damn commies, hippies, druggies and freebees" is not a way - let aside a good way - to discuss anything.

Wrong. Do you know what liquidity means? Apparently not.

The laws against program trading have nothing to do with short-term trading. It has to do with preventing micro-crashes. I.e., a phenomenon that reduces liquidity. Sense a common theme here?
