So I have reached the one month mark in trading ... The first month has been interesting. The highlight. I moved from ES trading to stock trading on 3/26. What led to the change? Simple ... I was loosing enough money to make it hurt. I have enough capital in my account that I was no...

I do find it interesting the number of posters on this board that see spending on social program a complete waste of money BUT see the bailout of BCS as a necessary evil. I guess it all comes down to if a particual goverment subsidy is in your group's personal interest. The attempted...
