LOL....you are Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over thinking this trading thing. This is exactly why youngsters are best for training.
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: âAs frustration with Obama's policies reached a boiling point during August, Americans clearly turned to Rush for help,â but âthe state-run media has yet to take notice.â Specifically, for KFI-AM in Los Angeles, Arbitron reported Limbaugh âgained 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.â Yet, Maloney observed: 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.
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.
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...
