Wow that is odd. I happened to be in a magazine shop last week and picked up a copy of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Comodities just to have a look. I used to buy them for years and stopped doing that 5-7 years ago. I was positively surprised to see that Don was still in business and doing is...

My numbers are: 1 - I think a retail trader starting like most of us are can reasonably expect to get to make 100-300k on average. Not a piece of cake but I think it's achievable. 2 - I was in the 50-70k salary range and would not quit unless I would expect to make 100k per year trading...

Two questions: 1 - For all you hustling hard to become a profitable full time trader and make a living of trading, what are your realistic yearly profit expectations. Assuming you start each year with 30-100k and can use some leverage do you expect to make an average professional (IT...

Are you buying on the ask and selling on the bid?

There is a markup to pay to hold physical. This markup fluctuates with the demand for coins and bars. But both bids and asks are above the spot and this makes your calculations wrong I believe. You will still be better off with the ETF there is no questions there but it is not as bad as your...

It's funny how we used to laugh at people in China, Korea and the like for being lied to. Who's laughing now.
