If you are a US citizen, perhaps you've heard this bit of truth: I subscribe to the idea that the pursuit of happiness, or in other words the ownership of property is a self-evident right. People living in a socialist economic system are unable to pursue happiness according to this...

exploitation, raping, disproportionate, fairness. Quite a litany of hot-button words. If you think the USA is an experiment in unbridled capitalism, you don't know what the word "unbridled" means. And as to fairness, how is slavery more fair than self-determination? Socialism turns its...

When comparing economic models, the only comparison that matters is standard of living. An economic system is an economic system, not a mental health system or a sense of well being system. The higher the standard of living, the more time and resources that are available for the pursuing of...

The author makes some decent arguments until he gets to this point, where the train goes over the cliff. To say that because we haven't been attacked that we must be winning is a fallacy of cause and effect. If the conclusion is that "America Wins", then why are we on orange alert and cancelling...

Or if each of the planes had been carrying even a small amount of anthrax or other biological agent, the total impact would have been much worse. It didn't take much anthrax to wreak havoc on the postal service and to shut down much of the capitol building for a couple of weeks.

I thought the human loss of life disparity between terrorists and serial murderers was so blatantly one sided that it went without saying. Once again serial killers are no comparison to terrorists in the sheer number of humans they are able to kill when they are willing to blow themselves up in...

There is more than a shade of difference between a serial killer (arguably the worst kind of murderer) and a terrorist or group of terrorists who have the ability to do a trillion dollars worth of economic damage. Even with all the hubub the beltway snipers caused, their economic impact paled in...

20,000 Iranians dead, the death toll "could easily climb to twice that amount." This tells me that they have serious infrastructure issues so no doubt the oil production is disrupted as well.

Since this is a theology question let me just get straight to the point. The two key concepts are "righteousness" and "sin" or "good" and "evil". The definition of good or righteous behavior is obedience to God's law. God is good because he is perfect, so his words are perfect, his laws are...

And to those who complain that the INS didn't enforce the laws that were on the books, this looks like a textbook case where the law was actually enforced. Maybe the law should be changed, maybe not but I see from this example that security was working. Looks like they were doing their job.

Good point! Ditch, The first few times I saw AMT4SWA's posts they were a turn-off for me as well. I thought this guy was full of hot air. However I've since talked with another trader who says AMT4SWA posts his trades live in a chatroom and seems to somehow come out on a consistent basis...

I'm looking to get short - going to scale in either on the overnight session or tomorrow if it reaches these prices. Sell 2 ES @ 1092.50 Limit Sell 2 ES @ 1093.50 Limit Sell 2 ES @ 1094.50 Limit

Sell stop hit on the overnight session - FLAT. Overall my trade execution wasn't the best on this trade - would have netted much more by taking profits in the vicinity of 1095, or closing position out at EOD today after price tested within .25 of my stop at 3:30 PM Eastern, but locked in a good...

Stop loss raised to 1090.00 for 3 ES to lock in +4.25/contract if we take out the lows today. I'm still reading an uptrend today so rather than take profits up here near 1095, I'm going to let it ride some more. Summary: Long 5 ES @ 1085.75 Sold 2 ES @ 1090.00 (+ 4.25/contract) Holding...

If taking partial profits on a position on the same day of entry is a problem then this will cramp my MM style with trading the stock indexes, due to their proclivity to retrace and the fact that they trade in wider daily ranges than most stocks. Since this journal is about swing trading /...

Profit target Hit: Sold 2 @ 1090 (2 x 4.25 x 50) = $425 in closed P&L We have traded above 1088, so sell stop loss is now raised to 1086, so worst case scenario is that it stops out with .25 profit on the 3 open contracts. Summary: Long 5 ES @ 1085.75 Sold 2 ES @ 1090 (+ 4.25/contract)...

Long 5 ES @ 1085.75 Change in open orders to the following: Sell Limit 2 @ 1090 If we get to 1090, Hold 3 for a runner overnight. Sell Stop Loss @ 1084 (for however many haven't been filled) If price moves to 1088 then move stop loss to 1086 for all open contracts.

Ten years from now we might be able to say the above but 1 year doesn't mean squat in this war regarding how safe we are IMO.
