sdog asked:


There seems to be a myth circulating, at least i think it is such, that when we, when police or people working for the police independently, are undercover as in stings posing as prostitutes, dealers, etc that they have to identify themselves if asked if they are working for the police.
My understanding is that this is not so.? This would seem to destroy any effectiveness in undercover operations. For instance, if I become a police officer and pose as either a ********** or a potential customer of one, all the john or ********** has to do is ask if i work for the police and any potential case is lost.?
What if someone contacts someone who does sensual massage or prostitution to trade just massage consensually, but does not trade money or illegal substances for it, is that illegal? Being that it is only consensual massage, not turning sexuality into a financial commodity, it seems that this would still be legal in California, or could we prosecute someone for this?.
If known, please include links to cite specific laws stating one way or the other.

If you are a first-time trader, the easiest and most useful avenue to choose for yourself is commodity trading, with its myriad choices. It is an upcoming avenue for investors who are looking to earn a lot of money, with an extremely comprehensive and unlimited list of products which can range from agricultural products to petroleum and consumer products, or even currencies.

It is only natural with the advent of technology that commodity trading now takes places on the world wide web as well. Online commodity trading is quite the rage, especially with first-time traders.

It is advisable for novices to begin with seven to eight commodities – this ensures the two fold purpose of proper monitoring and remaining on the safe side. Since commodities are tracked online everyday, it makes sense to have a reasonable number of commodities, especially in order to truly understand the hows and whys of the market. Not only novices but experienced traders too opt for no more than eight commodities because the simultaneous tracking of more than eight is a confusing and troublesome job.

Online commodity trading, in essence, is no different from a classic trading environment. The trading floor and the broker along with all the basic principles of trading apply to online commodity trading too. The only difference is that the trading is going on online.

If you are a novice commodity trader and are looking for a sure-fire formula to help with the management of online commodities, you will be disappointed. You should be extremely careful as to where you click because that one click could prove fatal.

If you don’t want to or can’t handle online commodity trading directly, it is possible for your chosen executor to hold an account, as long as you use a written power of attorney. This executor must be extremely reliable because trading involves making very important financial decisions and in this case you are handing over this power on your own behalf to the executor.

If you would prefer to work in a group as opposed to trading individually, then you can join commodity-related mutual funds and commodity pools similar to limited partnerships. You can make this even easier for yourself by simply going through online commodity trading exchanges. You can offset risks in your whole portfolio by combining the low-margin markets of commodities with stocks and bonds investments. This is one of the major reasons why commodity trading is so useful.

You have to be really careful while making financial decisions online, although the basic principles behind online commodity trading and classic commodity trading are absolutely the same. Just don’t let the simplicity and ease of the Internet blind you from making well informed and smart choices when it comes to your finances.

…. . .-.. .-.. — asked:


Do you think the Russians hold a grudge for the fall of the USSR?
I do.
Do you think if they see an opportunity to cause the fall of the USA they’d take it?
I do.
Russia has emerged as the second largest oil exporter behind Saudi Arabia. Since the early 1970s, when the USA went off the gold standard, it has been the international trade in oil that has supported the value of the dollar. All oil exporting countries have demanded payment for oil in dollars. These are called petrodollars. Without this trade in dollars, U.S. currency would be virtually worthless.
In 2000, Iraq started demanding payment for it’s oil in Euros. Soon after, Jordan, Iran, and Venezuela also started trading oil in Euros. All of these countries were close allies to the old USSR.
Interestingly, France and Germany, two major countries in the EU, did not back the U.S. and the UK in the Iraqi invasion, which clearly was to stop the trade in Euros and not for WMD.
The situation is much more dire than being presented by the government. If only one more major oil exporter switches to trading oil in Euros, the U.S. dollar is going to crash. It will cause a depression here in the USA several times worse than the great depression. There is 2700 trillion U.S. dollars tied up in the international commodities market. If the Euro replaces the dollar as the international currency, the U.S. will have to buy all that script back.
Think about the effects of that.

Commodities trading, like any other commodity trading, utilize a principle called “leverage” to expand the reach of the investor. Much like mechanical leverage in your old physics class, financial leverage is about multiplying the amount of motion you get from the energy you put into a transaction.

How it works is like this: Instead of ponying up $10,000 of your own money to make a commodities trade, you put up about $500 (1/20th of the amount purchased), and borrow the remaining $9,500. Let’s say that your trade shifts by 10 basis points between the price you purchased the commodity at and the price you sold it at; you’ve made a $10,000 purchase and sold it for $10,100, making a $100 profit on the transaction.

Now, you will have to pay back the $9,500 you made, plus some interest on the loan. Let’s assume that the interest is 9% per year, and that you made the margin purchase and sale in a 24-hour period. If you held on to the $9,500 for an entire year, you would have to pay $855 in interest. Since you only held on to it for one day, you pay $855/365=$2.35 in interest on it.

Your net profit on your $500 investment is $100 (the profit from the transaction) minus the interest on the money you used for leverage ($2.35), or about $97.65, which is about a 19.5% rate of return in one day.

Margin trades are the fundamental tool of the trade of the day trader in commodities trading. They’re also useful for position traders to magnify their leverage on a market, particularly if they can get a good rate on the interest they’re paying on their margin run. Let’s say you make a trade that goes up, but you think it has farther to go; you can make an informed decision about how far up you’re willing to wait, or what signals you’re waiting for, and just pay the daily interest and fee on the money you borrowed for the margin run. Yes, it’ll eat into your profit, but it can be used to play a bet long rather than frantically watching for every possible blip in the market.

Leverage and margin are useful tools, but going back to the analogy from physics, they can be dangerous ones. Most trading houses will have a margin ratio – this is how many of your own dollars you have to put in for each dollar of leverage you get to exert. The reason for this is that many trade choices don’t pan out, and a call to pay back the money (a margin call) can cause an entire network of trades to go under if you default. (As an historical aside, most of the stock market and commodities and futures market horror stories in circulation were magnified by margin calls and leverage gone bad.)

If you’re serious about commodity trading as your job, and by serious, we mean willing to work 9 to 10 hours a day on it at odd hours of the night; leverage and margin are tools you should know. If you’re just dabbling in it, play commodities markets with a position trading strategy instead, and keep your margin ratios sane.

The Daily Elitist asked:


“Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labour of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to the labourer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits. One looks to increasing the quantity of raw materials to be exported, and diminishing the inducements to the import of men, thus impoverishing both farmer and planter by throwing on them the burden of freight; while the other looks to increasing the import of men, and diminishing the export of raw materials, thereby enriching both planter and farmer by relieving them from the payment of freight. One looks to compelling the farmers and planters of the Union to continue their contributions for the support of the fleets and armies, the paupers, the nobles and the sovereigns of Europe; the other to enabling ourselves to apply the same means to the moral and intellectual improvement of the sovereigns of America. One looks to the continuance of that ******* freedom of trade which denies the principle of protection, yet doles it out as revenue duties; the other to extending the area of legitimate free trade by the establishment of perfect protection, followed by the annexation of individuals and communities, and ultimately by the abolition of custom-houses. One looks to exporting men to occupy desert tracts, the sovereignty of which is obtained by aid of diplomacy or war; the other to increasing the value of an immense extent of vacant land by importing men by millions for their occupation. One looks to increasing the necessity for commerce; the other to increasing the power to maintain it. One looks to underworking the Hindoo, and sinking the rest of the world to his level; the other to raising the standard of man throughout the world to our level. One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace.

One is the British system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.

It, the British System, is the most gigantic system of slavery the world has yet seen, and therefore it is that freedom gradually disappears from every country over which England is enabled to obtain control. By adopting the ‘free trade,’ or the British system, we place ourselves side by side with the men who have ruined Ireland and India, and are now poisoning and enslaving the Chinese people. By adopting the other trade, we place ourselves by the side of those whose measures tend not only to the improvement of their own subjects, but to the emancipation of the slave everywhere.

Such is the true mission of the people of these United States – to raise the value of labour throughout the world, we need only to raise the value of our own.”

So, given our economic troubles, which system shall the United States use as a model today – the one which made us truly independent from the British Empire, and built our economy from the ground up? Or the British system, which seeks to benefit the speculator at the expense of the producer?
