zab, How could companies still be doing this. What is it in companies
"Schwab lost, Daten had a trading platform built for day traders. You could execute many trades fast. People do not understand trading, it was trading between the bid and ask, as long size of trade was small. There are windows during the day to do this. Ameritrade kept the format intact, and if anything, protected it. Schwab bought Ameritrade thinking it was gaining customers, but they did away with the platform. Schwab lost those traders, including me. But I have been trading for decades, I use my other accounts. Companies always think they buy a competitor they get the customers, big mistake."
that would have them not understanding the market environment as you do. Assuming what you said there is all as it happened, how come?? Surely when a company buys another as that they are looking at the bottom line??? Which i would guess is customers. Surely there must be some other consideration involved??
Just wondering how companies can get it wrong as simply as you seem to put it there. As you put it it sounds just like a we buy a company .. yay good .. a macho thing while missing the bottom line. Surely there must be more than that??
LOL Day early -2, then 3 bogies and birdie last to finish Even.
Homa bogie first, now -1 with one to go.
Homa looks like beating Day by 2-3 points. 🙃 Goofed again.
B402, And of course Republicans, Libertarians and self-proclaimed
phony independents as you never overstate as much as dems do.
"Comer has overstated so much (not so unlike dems)"
And of course all Dems overstate as much as every other Dem.
And same for all the other non-Dems around. Just B402 doesn't.
Your silly generalizations look as sickly as your apparent need to be so
consistently so blanketly negative about dems. Talk about being divisive.
B402, Again your simplistic certitude brings you easily undone
"Be it a facist or leftist revolution they all began with inequity as the root cause........."
Inequity has been a trait of every community since homo sapiens stopped living alone, could say like oxygen it is ever present where human communities are. Because it is always there then to say it is likely one factor of many in many different revolutionary minds, you perhaps could get away with in a group of scholars who know much more about the cause of revolutions than you or i will ever know.
But to say what you said is a nonsense clearly a nonsense. All you had to do was ask the question

Abstract
‘What causes revolutions?’ shows that revolutions are complex processes that emerge from the social order becoming frayed in many areas at once. There are five elements that create an unstable social equilibrium: economic or fiscal strain, alienation and opposition among the elites, widespread popular anger at injustice, a persuasive shared narrative of resistance, and favorable international relations. Revolutions have both structural and transient causes; structural causes are long-term and large-scale trends that undermine existing social institutions and relationships and transient causes are contingent events, or actions by particular individuals or groups, that reveal the impact of longer term trends and often galvanize revolutionary oppositions to take further action.

Is it that you are so stuck with your ego fix that your certainty serves as an aphrodisiac for it, i wonder.
B402, Yet another arrogantly supercilious bs statement of yours
"Dems have a way of trying to pigeon hole people, relax""
And coming from you who pigeonholed every poster here from day 1 it's even more ridiculous.
Dems don't pigeonhole any more than others do.
And not all Dems do whatever you enjoy saying some do.
And janice was right in what she said about your comment on Trump. You ignored the points she put, of course.

Hypocrisy rains on GOP, reigns within it too -- You Won’t Believe What Hypocrite James Comer Is Attacking Biden on Now
May 18, 2024/2:37 a.m. ET
The House Oversight Committee chair is furious Biden invoked executive privilege.

President Joe Biden’s decision to invoke executive privilege to keep House Republicans from getting their hands on audio recordings of his controversial interview with special counsel Robert Hur has seemingly transformed into a fundraising opportunity for some of the lawmakers leading his impeachment probe.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer leveraged the fiasco in a campaign email Thursday afternoon, asking constituents if they would consider throwing cash his way over the issue.
“This could be the final blow to Biden with swing voters across the country,” the email read. “You and I know he’s not up for the job, but the mainstream media’s refusal to report on it is the only thing keeping him in the game.”
That might be a helpful line for Comer, since the chairman wasted months pursuing a baseless and unsuccessful impeachment inquiry into the president, largely based on the claims of an indicted former FBI informant [-- Alexander Smirnov --] who has since reportedly admitted .. https://newrepublic.com/post/179160/republicans-delete-reference-fbi-informant-smirnov-impeachment-letter .. the scheme was cooked up by top Russian intelligence officials.
But Comer didn’t seem keen to campaign on other recent instances in which a president leveraged executive privilege to cover up his behavior, as Trump did over the Mueller report .. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/08/politics/trump-mueller-report-executive-privilege/index.html .. or to avoid consequences for taking several thousand sensitive or classified documents from the White House—even if some of those actions resulted in criminal charges.
Biden’s move to keep the interview tapes under wraps came at the request of Attorney General Merrick Garland, who warned that cooperating with the GOP request could jeopardize future investigations and witnesses’ willingness to participate in them. In his letter to Biden, made public Thursday, Garland said that lawmakers’ efforts “are plainly insufficient to outweigh the deleterious effects that the production of the recordings would have on the integrity and effectiveness of similar law enforcement investigations in the future.”
White House counsel Ed Siskel also questioned the motivations of Republicans seeking the tapes when they already possess a lengthy report and full transcript of the interview, accusing the caucus of seeking to “chop them up” and “distort” the recordings for “partisan political purposes.”
Democratic Florida Representative Jared Moskowitz was quick to call Comer out about the fundraising email, delivering a spirited reading of the message during an Oversight Committee hearing late Thursday.

Mick Jagger's time in rural NSW: An exploding gun, an iconic song and a legend 50 years old
By Jordan Hayne

Mick Jagger was in the region to shoot the largely forgotten Ned Kelly film. (ABC News)
On one September night in 1969, the world's biggest rock star couldn't be found in London or New York, but in a rural New South Wales pub, drinking green ginger wine.
The two months Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger spent in Braidwood, Bungendore and Captain's Flat in south-eastern NSW during the filming of the movie Ned Kelly have become the stuff of legend in the region.
The film itself was panned upon release, reportedly dismissed by Jagger as "a load of shit", and has been more or less forgotten. But memories of the era have grown larger than life.
And almost every local around at the time has a story to tell.
A rock star for dinner
Margaret Royds says a buzz took hold of the town when Jagger arrived. (ABC News: Jordan Hayne)
Margaret Royds was about to clear the dinner table at her property outside Braidwood when an inebriated Jagger burst through the door.
"Mick Jagger just bowled in … he said 'hello, I've come for dinner'," she recalls.
Despite having one of the most famous men in the world standing in her kitchen asking for a meal, Margaret was forced to decline.
"I got such a shock I said 'I'm sorry you're too late, we've had ours!'" she said.
Margaret's son Martin, who was eight at the time, remembers an early glimpse into the debauched life of 1960s superstars.
"I knew he was from the Stones but he seemed a little bit
more stoned than he probably should have been," he said.
"He was very joyous and talkative.
"He'd come for dinner but he was at the wrong house, so dad asked me to take him to the secondary house on the farm, and I can remember going out the door and nearly having to hold his hand as we walked down through the dark."
B402, You disagree with what? Plus, your "populism is a result of inequity" is arguable, your claim
of certainty is even more arguable as research exists suggesting what you said there is not true ..
Social Mobility Explains Populism, Not Inequality or Culture
https://growthlab.hks.harvard.edu/files/growthlab/files/2019-09-cid-fellows-wp-118-populism-revision-2021-5.pdf
As a matter of fact that research suggests what many here have long seen in you, that you
bitch and feign concern for the plight of others because you feel life has been unfair to you.
And your video is supposed to mean what? I'd bet one, you didn't see the debate you claim to have seen.
"I disagree,,,,Populism is a result of inequity....Always has been and is true again today....That debate with Pelosi was pretty good....
Elites v Deplorables"
And two that you have no idea of the political persuasion of the very conservative, pretentious sounding Winston Marshall, of your video.
Toss in, that Hillary comment was careless, yet has been exploited way past all
it's worth by your conservatives misrepresentation of it. And obviously still by you.
How many times lately have we said we learn something every day ..
Mick Jagger, his Australian connection
Mick Jaggers Grandfather was a boatbuilder at Garden Island Dockyard, Sydney, from 1914, until 1946.[ courtesy of ' AFLOAT' magazine] " The World renown Rolling Stone is descended from a boatbuilder at Sydney's G.I. Naval base. Alfred Henry Scutts was 33 when he and his wife Gertrude , 33, migrated from England to Australia in 1912 with four sons, Cyril, Ethwick, Horace & Percy.They arrived in Sydney on the SS Rangitira. ' I would say they came out mainly so Gertrude could be with her sisters , who had migrated and settled in Sydney a lot earlier, ' says Peter Scutts, another of Alfred & Gertrude's grandsons who has lived all his life in Australia.
In 1914, the family were happy, Alfred had a good job at G.I., and they were living at Marrickville. They had a Daughter , named Eva. However, in 1917, Gertrude took the 5 children back to her home city of Dartford, in Kent, leaving Alfred in Sydney. It was family legend that Alfred was meant to follow, but he stayed, passing away in 1963.
Gertrudes decision and the families safe passage home to England during wartime influenced the sound of music from the 1960's. Had she and the children remained in Australia, chances are her daughter Eva would never had met and married Joe Jagger and the World would never had seen or heard Mick Jagger & the Rolling Stones. " The rest, as they say, is history, Bob
I?m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-chat/162131-mick-jagger-his-australian-connection.html
While surely the boundaries must have changed since then, i live in
Marrickville now. So am connected. Haha, with minimal musical ability.. LOL
LOL A song by guys who did really live. Guys who experimented and experienced as much of life as they felt. As
they could. Jagger, to have come through it as well as he has, could be seen as a real role model for many of us.
Funny in places. Playing a populist audience hunter comedian by suggesting groups of people should be and are seen in light of the extremes of the group. Distortions of reality in places. Overriding it all, more of the tone and attitude that shit me about people like Maher:
To be sure, Maher's ridiculous, snarky comments were intended to provoke outrage and get himself back in the news cycle to help the ratings of his sagging HBO show, but even so, he was echoing a time-honored societal prejudice: comics have no significant value as literature or art. Or as my father would say, they're not "real" books. Notably, Maher readily admits that he never reads comics (even as a kid), so, like any true media blowhard, he's declared himself an authority on a subject he has absolutely zero knowledge or experience in.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bill-maher-wrong-why-we-do-need-take-comics-seriously-scott-marcano
He could have included that historians will write of us as a people who strived to make money by
promoting their own books on their own tv shows. Books that most people would not bother to read.
Thought could be. A neighbor and i were talking about age and Jagger just hours ago on my
way out. He told me a story i hadn't heard before, that Jagger had a heap of Aussi in him ..
https://iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,1609396 .
The neighbor said a friend of his had a huge old vinyl record collection, he told him.
Nice timing.
It's where some logic led.
Is good. Who is it....
B402, No, no LOL. That of yours is as sick as the Vince Foster crap was. Or is it still is.
If it's so into southern, it shouldn't be existing north of the equator. It does have a problem.
Did Alito fix the flag as soon as he knew of it... was the thought...
One neighbor interviewed by The Washington Post said she first noticed the upside-down flag in late January 2021, and it remained up for two to five days. The neighbor said she never saw anyone raise the flag or lower it when it came down, and Martha-Ann Alito never told her what message she was trying to send.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/17/justice-samuel-alito-wife-upside-down-flag/
Not good.
The upstart arrogance is too much at times. That's carrying cancelling tooooooo tar!! OOps, too far..............
Yep, easy when i decide to.
Thanks. I'll be gone by then. Enjoy.
A guy said he was upgrading his and i could then have his. Too
long ago, so am considering other options as you suggest.
B402, Did i miss you say what those big charges were that Dems didn't go after. Specifically.
He is that. Every time i hit my mail now it doesn't connect so have to
wait until it says no connection. Any trouble on that from your end?
Too much baggage to have any chance of getting the nom, so why the hell is he running. To help Trump surely not. Can only think to hurt Biden, but from what you guys say it would go the other way. Then again, if he's out of it enough to believe his anti-vax bs, could he be out of it enough to think he has a chance of winning. He doesn't make any sense from any direction.
Ok. That surprises me, but you'd know better, and it is Florida.
Ok, Just i thought i saw you say you didn't think his mother would be in favor of him going and also that someone in his family would likely have given their ok. I thought that would have to be one of mom or dad. Trump's reaction would just as likely be feigned as true.
That's why i wonder that so many articles suggest he's a danger
to both parties. That equivalence idea raises it's ugly head again.
Just meant in the debate. Would he lean to one or the other candidates. Guess it would have to be Trump.
Surely you guys are right. What about him could suck a Biden voter in.
Father would have been in favor. That's one. Barron, guess maybe two as if
he is curious at all it would be an interesting experience just to be there once.
LOL I pictured him as short, but that's stretching it.
On that i guess you have me beat. Course you've been, by the sound of it, in many more large buildings than i have.
If so it's at least one thing i could appreciate him for.
Still awhile away. If he is there which way would he lean?
