    Why is there no inflation?

    Maybe it has something to do with exporting inflation to China through their pegged and artificial low currency which makes them more competitive :) The right response is just print dollars and buy stuff from them for paper :) In response to keep the peg they have to print too which results in...

    Even Jim Rogers knows about the trillions of dollars pumping the markets higher!

    Money in Russia? No thanks :) Economy is not about money printing, its about people, how productive, innovative, hard working they are and how much they can produce real goods. Money printing might get US into a mess, but in effect its just additional tax on US people (and while currently...

    Is Wealth Redistribution A Good Thing?

    Yes you didn't say that :) it was answer to trade2live and I don't agree with him, but understand his position. As for same playing field I would put it again to morality discussion (and as I said in previous comment I don't want to argue about that as it is different for each person). I don't...

    Is Wealth Redistribution A Good Thing?

    Poker is also game of luck and actually with pretty small edge (even AK against 72 is about 2:1) but somehow some people win consistently. Same with life. Good ones are lucky.

    Is Wealth Redistribution A Good Thing?

    I think this question raises lots of heated debates because people argue with different perspectives. First we need to agree on what we want to agree. Is it moral to redistribute wealth? Or is wealth redistribution helps people better their lives from economical point of view? These are...

    Will I always pay 1 point on the bid ask spread in crude oil futures?

    I use xtrader and set limit order as default order type, and if I want to enter market immediately just hit bid/offer, and if i want to wait - I put limit order. I see no problem there you can choose right on the field if you want provide liquidity or take it :)

    Recent Graduate looking for Prop Trading Opportunities in NYC area

    There is difference between real time data and market replay data. In ninja open File -> Utilities (i think) -> download replay data. Here you can download any recorded day in the past. Then you do File -> Connect -> Market replay. Here you can set which days to replay and at what speed. That...

    Recent Graduate looking for Prop Trading Opportunities in NYC area

    Hmm the main question after your post was why you havent tried trading so probably you need to fix this :) Maybe not best quality, but ninjatrader is certainly better than Yahoo Finance - you can replay and trade each day in real time and its free of a charge. You also need some headstart of how...

    New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems By Wilder is pretty famous and good book if you are into systems trading. Toby Crabel book could be another classic you might like.

    INFLUENCE GAME: Leaks show group's climate efforts

    Well I think you should teach children all point of views so they would have proper critical thinking and could choose themselves. How do you know if you are not victim of global warming cult propaganda? I dont know the truth, but the thing is this kind of scaring people about the end of the...

    Come on bastards, blame it on the Greeks

    Its easy to blame greeks, but actually you can look from the other point of view. They would have been fine if not joining an eurozone. In my opinion their industry can't compete with Germany or France - its those countries that wants euro, because its beneficial to their economy. Weaker...

    Republican Jewish Coalition Bars Ron Paul From Debate: ‘He’s misguided and extreme’

    Well in my humble opinion DAS Trader clearly won an argument :) Other guys just started insulting and personal attacks which indicates that argument probably should be over. I think there is no need to insult Ron Paul or his supporters if you don't like their ideas, everyone has right to its...
