    anyone using PFG BEST?

    I know some brokers who work @ PFG & they're very upstanding, likeable, honest people. PFG, in my opinion, is a good company for a retail trader who doesn't trade too frequently. Some professional traders may prefer trading directly with the clearing firm (PFG clears through Prudential, I...

    Independent trader vs Retail trader

    I agree with this description. 'Indepenent trader' connotes a degree of autonomy, continuity & success. A 'retail trader' is one who has a TD Ameritrade account & trades sometimes or puts in some orders before going to the office. All striving traders deserve RESPECT, however. Even...

    Marketsurfer says-- BOTTOM IN, time for longs!

    Surf seems to be a decent guy. I wouldn't rag on him. Not to mention his call has been decent; looks like we've put in a short-term bottom. 699 resistance breaking on ES-H9 augurs more upside; to 724.50. There may be a test of strong intermediate resistance near 739 (November low on...

    If my retirement gets nationalized

    Well-written, Da-Net. After drafting the original Constitution, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin "What have you given us?" He replied, "A republic, Ma'am, if you can KEEP IT." Scary. Part of the problem is that most of the CRETINS that call themselves Americans think we live in a...

    Much agreed. Hypotheticals are a joke.

    BACKTESTING: only 25% winners on MA crossovers?

    MA Crossovers are bunk. If you don't believe me, bet BIG on them. I could use the cash. Or you could waste $5,000 - $10,000 on Vantagepoint "Intermarket" Analysis Software, out of Wesley Chapel, FL. :D :D :D :D :D LOL

    Commissions are becoming ridiclous

    Commissions are a JOKE! Are you guys getting out after 1-2 ticks?! That's ridiculous. I'll admit over $10 is high, if it's disount biz, but still. $3 or $5 or $7. I never understood this. WHO are these people who NEED three bucks a trade to be profitable? It's a fine line for...

    mlm guru doug Allen thread closed. Why?

    Sorry--I can't help but chime in. I think Doug's a creepy man. Sorry. I can access the Barclay CTA database & get some bona fide money managers...why trawl on ET & mess around with the peanut gallery? Doug's either fishing for sweet young man to take to bed, or he's SELLING something...

    QUESTION: Charting for Futures?

    Hello everyone, I have some associates who want INTERACTIVE FUTURES CHARTS, whether delayed or live. I use DTN Phophet X, but it's fairly expensive for some of my buddies. So they're asking me what to use. My question is: What do you recommend for *interactive* futures charts? They...

    UBS Tells Senate It Won't Turn Over More Names in IRS Tax-Evasion Lawsuit

    Screw you, Patchie! What do you care? If you could afford it you'd have accounts in Switzerland, too. UBS is a good company & they will prevail in this lawsuit. DO YOU KNOW WHY? Think about the people who have those 50,000 or so accounts in Switzerland. Do you think they're...

    Why do people frown upon goldbugs?

    People don't dislike "goldbugs." The media dislikes them because the media is heavily influenced by the central bankers. Central bankers hate gold so they label those who prefer "honest money," at least as a hedge, as derisively as possible. I've met some gold BULLS. Never a gold bug...

    How does one become an Energy Trader?

    Open up a trading account with an FCM; fund it for $10k - $20k; do your best; learn the market... If you do well you'll DESERVE to be with a prop firm. If not, you simply don't deserve it. There are others with more experience than you who want the same thing. You'd better be damn...

    42" LCD TV for trading?

    During the days I trade from an office @ CBOT, but while I'm home I connect my laptop to my 42" using this plug that came with the television. You need to go into your control panel, of course, to "set up" for having two monitors. IT'S GREAT, THOUGH! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Having...

    So how does the Fed print 1 trillion dollars ?

    THANK YOU for posting! Maybe we will start nationalizing banks...beginning with the "FED!"

    Even with inflation in 1970. It only took 1 worker

    INFLATION IS A THIEF, MY FRIEND. Blame the FED. Four years @ a private institution (like the ones many of us ETers matriculated at) cost upward of $200,000!! Think about it. Good post. Thanks. :)
