    Stupidist decision I ever made.

    bensy, This is a VERY wise observation. Now, we know why most daytraders both retail and prop don't succeed. With their 5K or 10K deposit of "risk capital", they want to make 100K/yr or even 50K/yr! That's 10x-20x in 1 year! I'm sure many people can become good daytraders, but the mathematics...

    The Pain of History

    "Flat" , trendy, etc. are only OBVIOUS with HINDSIGHT!!! Remember that. I'm sure the millions of investors during the 1910-1950 didn't feel it was "flat". It was quite a roller coaster ride for them to been through the biggest boomtime ever then have NATIONWIDE DEPRESSION that last almost a...

    Buffet warns of problem in the next 10 years

    Yes, derivatives are RISK TRANSFERRING instruments. Makes one wonder who will be the last one to hold the bag... I win, you lose. Or you win, I lose. BUt who will really lose? The public? The i-banks? Companies? If it comes all crashing down who will lose?

    The Pain of History

    what do you mean by FLAT from 1910 to 1950? A huge ride up and a huge ride down. Long on the way up. Short on the way down. Flat if you just buy and hold. A lot of actions if you were a trader. People here on ET still don't get it. And they call themselves "traders". Man...

I might as well get on American Idols or be a daytrader(*grin*), then where will the future steve jobs and bill gates come...

    Stupidist decision I ever made.

    Yeh, I think this is a wonderful thread. Most newbies and even experienced people should READ and beware of the difficulties of daytrading. It's nontrivial to say the least! And stop dreamin' and wake up to reality!

    IB Quotes for ZB Froze During and After FED Annoucement

    Yep, both YM and ZN were blank. And I knew I wanted to get in for that last bounce. But I didn't see prices for so long I was afraid to get in. Oh well. It has been the same story for me on each Fed announcement. Can never catch the big moves. To add insult to injury, lost a little. Not...

    Wake me up in November

    "worst" in terms of what? The retail investors think worst means going down. As traders, we shouldn't care right? Short it! If it goes back up go long. whatever. if you say worst like the range is small then it makes sense. but i HIGHLY DOUBT that's what the Trader's Almanac meant by...
