Dave, we already have $20 oil. It's called natural gas. Well, 21.50 to be exact at current quoted prices. That's how much nat gas you need to produce the same amount of energy as oil. So why don't we switch over? You'll have to ask Barry. Something about an endangered frog...

No, I disagree. The mania was in real estate and in the credit markets, NOT the stock market. Trust me capadre, I had friends become multi-millionaires flipping houses MUCH faster then my daytrading friends from the late 90's stock boom. At one point, a good friend of mine with only a high...

I'm as anti-fed as anyone but people are not going crazy for stocks. I hate to break this to you, but only in the last few months did we take out the highs we had in 1998, yes 1998!!!! That's 15 years ago. Yes I agree the fed has taken the volatility out of the market. And yes, the Fed has...

Of course nor did I state that. I simply said that IF a market truly is manipulated and in one direction, then the technical signals will be much easier to decipher then if it wasn't. Now whether Johnny trader can trade his way out of paper bag is a whole other issue entirely.

Come again? Technical analysis is about spotting the big buyers and sellers. No matter who they are. If I know a market is manipulated, the knowledge that gives me is that there is likely to be sustained moves in both directions. These are very tradeable and very easily found with any type...

In FX land, it's all EUR/AUD all the time. It's had a huge run so you might be a little late to the party there. Same goes with AUD/JPY. Two spectacular moves.

Sure, this catches my eye. Regional banks on fire. Mostly do to this: This is why I point these things out. Even if one does not wish to trade STPP itself, that chart gives you a perfect trade setup in KRE.

Peil, something for you to consider. If one really is outraged over the gay lifestyle, then you should absolutely support gay marriage. Studies have shown that gays not in relationships can have 100's and 1000's of sex partners. But when married settle down to one. The best thing we can do...

Yeah I never understand these threads. Manipulated markets are the easiest to trade. Markets that are just random are very hard to trade. If I knew that a football team was going to throw a game and Vegas had the line at -3 for the team that was going to throw it, why wouldn't you bet against...

FSNY is almost kaput. This must have been years ago. Almost all the big players there jumped ship including two of the partners. Nothing but a skeleton crew left.

Pspr does not come remotely close. Zzzz started 50 threads a day and when I say he defended pedophilia, let me be clear about this. He was not making a joke or trying to prove a point, he was actually DEFENDING it.

Do you have anything intelligent to say on monetary policy? Fuck, why am I asking you this, I already know the answer....

Not sure how many of you guys are watching this STPP, but it's had a nice 30% move the last two months. Performed much better then being long the S&P.

Alas, our dear Martin is gone for another year...I should have hit that bid much quicker.

You are not going to find anything. Why not trade futures options? They are risk based with no pdt.

Silver is an industrial metal, gold is not. If one is bullish the economy or stocks or really technology, the long SLV/GLD ratio makes sense. Also higher interest rates (lower bond prices) should keep a strong bid under this spread.

Martin...old chap...first of all, no patronizing tone here, sorry if it came off that way. You did disappear for a year. But anyway, you have no idea how excited I get at the thought of a possibility of an intelligent conversation here, so I will do my best not to ruin it. OK, let me just...

I hate to break this to you but all foreign expenditures are unnecessary. You know how much money we spent on the cold war? Try 13 trillion plus. Thank you Democrats. And yes, that WAS the democrats. Eisenhower tried in vain to stop it and Barry Goldwater made his case and got slaughtered...
