    Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

    Wrong. Here in SoCal buying a home between 1996 - 2006 was a sure bet and an EASY investment. I've flipped many new construction homes where I only put down $2K - $5k as a deposit, used 100% bank financing to buy once the home was built and sold before the first mortgage payment was due, for...

    Black Tuesday

    Futures will follow Asia and Europe, tonight and tomorrow morning. If they both tank then Yes we will have a negative open. I don't expect circuit breaker action though until we take out SPX 980 and truly start free falling. There was strong support at SPX 1050 and it took a while to break...

    Still running Windows XP SP2? Why?

    Everything you read on the internet is true. I read that world will be ending in 2012. Also these nice guys from Nigeria have some money for me and if I order some pills it will make penis larger. Could you imagine the lawsuit AMD would have if M$ made an update that only worked on Intel...

    Box office futures

    I think it's a fantastic idea. Would have loved to have been able to Short Couples Retreat. I would have made a fortune. Now if there is a way to read the script before making the trade, that would be even better.

    watching ES tonight, still a circus

    I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Those that are REALLY good traders are making a frackin killing. Newbies are getting slaughtered. Above average traders (like myself) are staying out. I've watched ATLEAST 5 10 point swings on the S&P so far.

    New Leverage Requirements 4/30...opinions, thoughts

    FAZ has dropped from over 1000 (R/S adjusted) to 11. It is, by my calculations, a scam. They should take the next step and shut Direxion down.

    House Money

    Good traders have a quantifiable predictable statistical edge. We adhere to very strict discipline, rules and do not let emotion creep into our trading habits. That is was differentiates us from gamblers.

    Using my TV as a third monitor?

    Why? You can get a used CRT for free. Check craigslist, tons of people post adds that say come pick it up or maybe $5 if they are being greedy. Though they are big and bulky, traders were fine with them 10 years ago. Heck I bought all of my late edition Dell LCDs off craigslist for an...

    Google bringing out own browser !!!

    I downloaded the Beta a few months ago. It screwed up my system so bad, I had to reformat. Come to think of it I won't be upgrading to IE8 or Google Explorer until it is forced. Microsoft always releases Betas too early. Eventually they work through all the bugs and then release as a needed...
