    Ebay may sell Skype

    :D A black guy told me if you do that you won't feel any difference. He used to chase ugly girls because they haven't been slept by other guys.

    Why does the market defy rationality?

    That kind of question indicates that you aren't yet in sync with the market, and once you've got enough experience then you stop asking "silly" question such as why people are greedy or fearful. If the market were to be rational (someone whose actions and decisions are based on reason rather...

    The Uptick Rule - Your Thoughts

    In a messy complex problem, you need to isolate the suspected issues in order to figure out where the root cause of the problem. However, the way law makers are questioning whether Uptick Rule could have significant weight mean that they still haven't figured out yet what was really the problem...

    The Uptick Rule - Your Thoughts

    Seems that greed and fear aren't exactly having the same scale in term of timeframe. If DOW took 5 years to go from 5000 to 10000, it takes only 6-12 months to come back where it was.

    How much capital required to generate $200/day pair trading?

    I guess you mean currency trading. But for stock, the idea of "must take money home every day" is wrong. Think about the ebb tide and flood tide that didn't occur every hour during a day. Opportunities do not occur every day during a year.

    No one on EliteTrader will beat the market… here is why

    Ok, the definition is very clear and I got it. Then if you can prove that TheRedInc and other guys in the P/L Thread aren't genuine then you can still claim that this theory is still true. Otherwise, just shut that theory away. PS: If the market is really efficient then there will be no...
