Thomas Peterffy - INTERACTIVE BROKERS

Discussion in 'Wall St. News' started by Cazza La Randa, Oct 12, 2012.

  1. Thank you for the advice

    I will ask "from from" the schools for a refund. (Surely, that sounds logical to you)

    (Please hold messages, as I will be searching for WHEN (you know the drill) I claimed to be an expert in grammar.

    In the meantime, I do remember asking someone for the source of some type of research (was it?) or statistical analysis (hmmm)...with my tiny mind, I don't recall exactly....

    I get messages, I ask for specifics (you know facts)...I get crickets:confused:

  5. Not everyone does what you do! ( I don't do weed):)

    "in this world"

    Is there any other world?

    Can I ask for research on this "other world"?...and still waiting on the "other" statistics!

  7. all I wanted to talk about was "The Slippery Slope"

    That is the gist of Peterflys message

    He feels the country is becoming more and more socialist

    and less and less capitalist

    and he sees that as a "Slippery Slope"

    it is a quote in his ad

    The question I asked, before you went on your taxes tirade was,

    what is a "Slippery Slope?"

    Is it something you don't do, even though it makes sense now, because we don't know what will come next if we make that bold step?

    why don't you get back on the subject of this thread instead of asking philosophical questions, worthy of a sophomore in h.s.

    thomas peterffy made a significant statement about the future of the US. which few ceos had the guts to say incl. the republican nominee for president.

    this article is about the deindustrialization of the US.

  9. Did you mean Peterffy...wait I am looking up to see who is "Peterfly".

    I am also looking up if there is a need to use an apostrophe when one writes "Peterffy's" or that other person you reference "Peterfly's"...you assume that I was deprived of the public high school as you insinuated and in my school they taught me to use the apostrophe. (note to self - request refund)

    On another note I am looking for my "taxes tirade", I thought I only wrote a sentence NOT (cover....) a 'tirade'!...(may be lack of writing comprehension...hmm)

    tirade = "a long angry speech of criticism or accusation".
    (Long - being the operative word)

  10. ok, that's just really internet bullshit, people don't learn by being singled out and corrected. A lot of that is stuff we use to know and just haven't used in a while. Plus, there are typos. You learn by seeing it done right.

    Set a good example. That is the best way to educate.

    and yes, the taxes tirade was when you ignored what I was talking about and went into your prepared speech about tax rates

    the argument was not about rates

    we can discuss that from now till the cows come home

    The argument was about the slipppery slope, this is what the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party is about.

    If we let you raise tax even by 1%, where does it stop?

    It's a slippery slope.

    Now, go ahead and talk about tax rates and unleash your prepared response, since you can't read and have no comprehension what I just wrote.

    Like I said, back in public school they didn't ask you what you thought about what he wrote. They asked you what he meant when he wrote it.
