Great, now all those years of pirating ebooks was for nothing. :( Just kidding -- thanks!

Not to be too mean, but I checked out Remiraz' original link, and they're selling books with grammatical errors in the title. You know it's a sign of quality when they screw up the friggin' COVER with misplaced apostrophes. I'm guessing they saved the spelinng erorrs for the inside (you have to...

I loved Leeson's first two books, "Life As An Undisciplined Weasel With A Messiah Complex And Very Poor Trading Skillz" and "Let It Ride -- It's Gotta Come Back Sometime".

There's no "commission", but they take a couple pips from you in payment, which can be even more expensive than a set rate. Forex is not bad for TA trading under the short term, but fundamentals really rule the long term. Go here and you can sign up for a free demo account with OANDA, who have...

Small OTC stocks are a pyramid scheme, a sucker's game. The guy who spams you/gives you a hot tip/posts in the Yahoo! boards/whatever else he does to convince you to buy/ is actually the guy you will later be buying stock from. Think about it. If there is no volume and this guy's holding, who...

It's pretty pathetic. But the bright side is that the more they screw up, the more you make money -- IB seems to pick tops and bottoms better than Soros!

Jeez, I never thought of it like that. I stand corrected. Thank you.

Terrorists don't need to do anything but sit back and watch as our corrupt politicians tax, borrow, and spend us to death.

You can blow up just fine with 50 to 1 -- you don't need more loaded guns than those 50 pointed at your head.

Awesome! I didn't even know Traders was out on DVD. Thanks a bunch for the link! **Side note: When the show was actually airing (sometime in the mid/late 90's, and before DVDs), I was flush with "internet-boom cash", cocky as hell, and loved the show and actually called up Alliance-Atlantis...

Vad, good story. How are you doing with your trading?

:D

LOL!! Good point.

...Along with all the other government-mandated programs! /RANT/ It would be great if welfare was privatized, and people starting out could *choose* to pay a thousand bucks a year for a 5 year term or something as Unemployment Insurance, but making ME pay when there is no chance in hell I'm...

Buffett's a value investor. His whole career is based on buying things nobody else wants to touch and holding them until the market proves him right (kinda like Mister Market, heh heh). Of course, he's traditionally made money by buying things that are obviously undervalued, but I guess his take...

You're not a fan? What's your take on Galbraith?

I've got an old copy of Galbraith's The Age Of Uncertainty, and I highly recommend it. As a general history of the effects of economic policy goes, it's fabulous. He's got a lot of great anecdotes in his books as well -- his Wikipedia bio skims over his accomplishments, but hardly does him justice.

No. OANDA used to crash on me all the time, but once I ditched Windows I ditched all my crashes. Everything seems to work worse on Windows, especially Java apps and basically anything to do with networking. Instead, try the Ubuntu Linux LiveCD, which is a demo linux disk which runs off your...

Do a search here on ET -- there have been a few threads on this topic in the past....

I spend my afternoons trying to give back what I made in the morning. I'm pretty successful, if I do say so myself.
