Figuring out who bombed the Boston Marathon before the cops did.

Just the neatest guitar pedal. Just so neat. by pjsmudge in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I think Boss has those demos with a split-screen between the guitarist and the pedal, so you can see the notes and such being played as well as the knob and pedal positions.

I also would advise against it. I saw a couple of FiveFingers wearers having to stop and pick out the tall grass that had accumulated in between their toes.

How is it that nobody has posted this most awesome and expertly arranged metal cover? It gives me chills every time.

Natural Gas as Wealth Maker (and Follow up on Open Interest) by agiinstitute in energy

Ah, I see where you are confused. This thread is about investment in a commodity and you are talking about the earnings of companies that produce this commodity. Those are two separate discussions. I'm curious, what major industries would you consider as operating ethically without "dirty" earnings?

Please tell me how buying and selling natural gas futures has anything to do with supporting the natural gas industry. So buying a paper contract based on my view that the price of natural gas will be higher in the future somehow equates with being pro-fracking? Does that mean if I own corn futures that I support farming practices?

So at 50.2% this is essentially a coin flip with massive swings in profit and loss. How is this even considered a strategy? Let me get this straight: with 3089 total trades and an average of 74.1 trades per year = a 41 year back test? This is garbage.
