I loved skiing too. So I chose to live in Aspen when I was younger, and gave up the opportunity to make money and not ski. I got to ski my 100 days a year, and other than that, and having a lot of good friends that were doing the same thing, I was "poor" as far as money in the bank (or more...

I don't know about this entire post. I have seen very few solicitations for "pay services". Yes, there have been a few, but percentage wise, insignificant. As for whether guys that run pay services can or cannot offer anything for their fees, I have no idea, since I have never participated in...

I wouldn't be so sure of any of this. Not in the US. (I have no idea about Europe). Are you familiar with the term "notch babies"? The "Baby Boom" after WW II was not the first event of it's kind. After WW I, the same thing happened. Those children (who are now about 80 years old, (give...

Goes to show there is no correlation between age and wisdom. Peace, :)Rs (PS: I wonder how many farmers and ranchers and miners and bankers really spend much time on ET. And of that time, how much of it is spent clicking on banner ads. And of that, how much would generate revenues to the...

This reporter, just got off the phone with Haywood. The deal is for real. Stunning development! This will change the image of Wall Street forever. Seems like only yesterday that ENE and WCOM and Arthur Anderson stories were of significance. Now we have something that will be remembered in...

HUH? (rhetorical question. Please don't explain). Just know this. Before the Acts of 33 and 34, everything was done. It just was not regulated. Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion of the misinformed agreeing with or disagreeing with the uninformed. Sorry for the interruption.

Yes, maybe you GOT at least that much out of what I said. Because certainly you seem pretty closed minded about the rest of what I said. So again, Yes, that is true. The other Arab nations (or rather their leaders) absolutely benefit from the prevention of peace between the "Palestinians" and...

John Lennon said something like "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans". You never know my friend. It's all "crazy". I have no idea how old you are, but I had no wife until I was 31, and no kids until I was 37. Now I have 2 in college (stepkids, but I bear the financial...

You "don't condone" yet you say it is "surely understandable". Alfonso, it is time to cease trying to make your case. "Balanced discussion"? There is nothing "balanced" at all about your arguments. They are clearly anti-semitic, and historically inaccurate. I should not even attempt to...

Short selling was one of the "scapegoats" for the crash of 1929. Program trading took the rap in 1987. There will always be some group looking to pin a "strategy' for the misfortunes of the market (and the losing participants) at any given time. Selling short is part of the what the...

Axe, your plan actually has merit. Except for one thing. It implies you can see the future. If this is so, than the $5 mil will be the easy part. Sticking to your "plan" may be more difficult than you can foresee now. Assuming you are heterosexual, and not past your child-bearing years....and...

Surf, true to a degree. But the old saying, "it takes money to make money" still applies. You cannot do any of this without some dough. What did Donald Trump start with to become a "self made" man in RE? $20 million? Something like that I think. The banks love to lend-----To those that need...

As far as speed, this is what I just got from <toast.net/performance>. As is apparent, my cable download speed is essentially identical to T-1 (on the higher end, too). As this does vary (this is at 5:40 pm), I know that my T-1 varies also. On average, the Cable seems a bit faster. But when...

Seems like everyone agrees...there is no definite answer Cable vs. DSL. I recently switched from DSL to cable. Because the package deal was too irresistible. Cable TV (a must), is what it is. And for what worked out to be an additional $5 a month, I get Cable modem (Adelphia, South...

Jim Donahue?? In Denver? If so, she had a lot of company. If it was ten years ago or more, he would be my bet. I met the guy. Actually tried to do business with him. But after spending 5 minutes in his office I knew he was so crooked he could hide behind a corkscrew. (Donahue was...

Why settle for 5mm? If you're gonna dream, dream BIG! Someone told me once (never got to try it to see if it was true) that a pile of hundred dollar bills worth a million dollars would be 2 feet high. So a billion would be a thousand times that....or almost twice as high as the Empire State...

More proof you cannot please all of the people all of the time. Maybe I am too simple minded to understand what the difference is in naming a forum on futures. To me, it is, if anything, too specific to narrow it down to "spreads" or the types of commodities. People who trade futures had...

Real life stats from my years trading at a big prop firm that tracked every imaginable statistic tells the story pretty much the way Tech Analysis summed up his own experience. As for what Harry said, maybe someone can explain it to me (This is NOT a request:)). Anyway, the guys that made...

BKK, I will be leaving from Chicago to Bangkok Sept. 7. I haven't even seen my itinerary yet. It is doubtful I I will have the time to trade since I have other business to attend to during the day. Plus I hope to get some golf in. But I would definitely be interested in checking out your...
