    Finally! Tesla IPO

    Alot of this discussion truly suprises me but I guess people enjoy discussing their points in a context that doesn't include making money on an investment. Aside from the obvious question of whether you and I can make money on an IPO... I think a more sophisticated one is... does this product...

    Confessions of a successful trader

    I am INTJ as well. They cluster and alot of them work in the technology field. I was on a management course where the test was part of the exercise. We were all IN and many of us were TJ or TP. You have to take it with some grain of salt. People who take the test with some iota of what...

    Dead fish handshakes from top fund managers??

    Excellent question. Someplace (Management seminar maybe) I remember one person saying that people who have limp handshakes are non-committal personalities. I find that an intriguing explanation worth exploring. Certainly a weak handshake is not the norm amongst people managers and up so...

    Concentration

    Getting old huh. Me too. I've begun to calculate how many good cognative years I have left and what I can accomplish or achieve by then. You *can* have a renaissance of sorts... of course others might call it a "mid-life crisis". ...and *no* I don't mean going out to buy a Corvette...

    Advice for someone who wants to learn trading

    I strongly disagree. From what I've read and analyzed, I think the vast majority of the market is a herd of ignorant and semi-ignorant people who routinely over react to news and following the wrong advice. I do not mean stupid... I mean ignorant - uneducated. I'll up that one notch and...

    I've just started following "This Week In Petroleum" inventory numbers. The latest numbers don't seem to be published yet at the EIA web site. Do you read anything into that? Eric

    If most daytraders lose money, then...

    It sounds simple doesn't it? But I'm befuddled as to what it means to do the exact opposite. What is the exact opposite of buying 100 ABC units and holding them for 10 days? Selling them? Who is to say that these people don't lose too? Maybe the smart money held onto the units for...

    FYI-I've only read the article and a few posts. My opinion... History tells me that the rich are greedy people who use any and all available advantages to create small and large monopolies. It happens at all levels from Saudi Sheiks to urban planning. Their favorite tool is legislation...
