Where I live they tried open enrollment and what happened is our city became the private school capital of the world. So as the inner city black kids came in, any parent who could pulled their kids and put them in private school. So now our school system gets less state money because it has so...

One advantage I have is a friend who is a technology know-it-all. He has a bot that scans certain websites for new pages. For example, his bot detected a new page on the Muddy Waters site last week with the symbol EDU. You don't need to know anything more, MW is going to release a hit piece on...

I was going to answer you then I thought about the tone of your post and changed my mind. Next time you ask me a question, don't come off sounding like a jackass.

Who cares if the news isn't real as long as you correctly anticipate the reaction. Citron did a hit piece on VVUS today. Are they right? I dunno, but when Citron goes after a stock it has a habit of falling A LOT in a short period of time, i.e. 5-10 minutes. Yesterday it was Muddy Waters...

If memory serves me correct, wasn't it a bunch of men who blew up the global financial system? And of those who saw it coming and called it right, wasn't one of the most outspoken(and correct) a woman? In my experience smart women are very discriminating so I'm not surprised many ET'ers...

There are many private schools in the Chicago area that charge less than the local schools spend per student. The local schools are beyond horrible. The private schools range from very good to spectacular. Anytime you have a union bureaucracy to feed you're going to pay more for less.

It's a relative world. Regardless of what happens, when you look at the competition we look pretty good. Why is that so hard for people to understand? Is the world just going to start storing their money in China? Are you going to?

None of you guys criticizing Cuban have 1/10th of his intellect or 1/100th of his character. The guy post his trade in public: you don't do that and you sure as hell wouldn't do it under your own name. He spells out his thesis for making the trade at that time. The only thesis most of you...

I probably make 75% of my money on news. In fact, if all I traded was news I'd be far better off I imagine. Fly on the Wall is good, but you need many sources. Here's 3 examples of trading news that happen a lot. 1. positive news hits fly or some other smaller source..get long until...

Simply put...No....Anyway you want...I'd never let your type close enough to me to hear your voice. Plus, let's just say you and everyone here were programmed in such a way to be good traders, and had the dollars to be effective, and by some stroke of magic I, or someone like me, where to...

You guys crack me up. None of you even seem to be able to grasp what is and has been moving the market. How you going to win like that? Best to just day trade small caps. That way you can give your money to me instead of someone you don't know.

Simply put, Neke is a gambler not a trader and a piss poor one at that. Reading through this thread some I find that Neke doesn't even know how to keep score or what metrics to use. Money mgmt is non existant. For anyone reading this thread who is looking for ideas on how to be a better...

For those of you not in the loop, Ron Paul's single biggest supporter and organizer of his "grass roots" campaign is the church of Scientology. Living in Florida I have a lot of Sino friends. Most are very well off, a great many have started very successful businesses, and overall they're...

You are so full of shit. Have you ever been to an airport? To a tourist destination? Any place beyond your bedroom at moms house? I travel extensively and can tell you first hand every international flight I've been on lately is slammed with people coming to the US. 2 months ago at Disney...

10+ yrs. 1. Intraday only. Mostly news related. 2. No. 3. 99.9% 4. Systems don't work. It's easier to spot trash than hidden value. Pay no attention to Macro stuff. Learn to spot patterns. Know what your trading- trading the same number of shares or risking the same $$ amount per...
