    Summers said the rebuilt U.S. economy must be more export-oriented

    in manufacturing, labor is only a minor cost now. Most of the work is highly automated with expensive robots/welders/whatever, in huge buildings cranking out large volume. Add in the long shipping times, and the huge distance to China is a disadvantage for a number of reasons. The fact...

    If edge is hard to get, why traders keep trading?

    actually this was proved in an academic experiment years ago. A number of Ph.D students were given a system with positive expectancy. yet after trading, about 90-95% lost all their money. Why? Money management. So you first need an edge. THEN you need to become a student of good...

    Day trading on the side

    The hard truth is, there are zero guarantees you will EVER be a successful trader. It is a myth that "just stare at prices long enough and you will succeed." It is a belief, not a truth. It mayh happen, but probability says it most likely will not for you or anyone else. Few traders will...

    College Graduate

    The random walk is not a joke and the markets are very efficient. Current thinking is that it is random "with a drift" - it does trend some. Very few major firms can even outperform the annual increase in the stock market of say 7%. In other words, they basically ride the natural longterm...

    The beef is, that Jack seeks worship, is often incapable of communicating in less than 30-20 paragraph posts, claims huge success and going around with the big wigs, spouts highly complex yet unfounded trading methods, has a history of turning a lot of newbies into lemmings, and runs away at the...

    Monogamy: "A man is as faithful as his options"?

    See no reason to change. If you are mature and are in a happy marriage, realizing that both parties need to be committed, you realize it has to do with love, not sex. Years ago, I was talking with a friend i had not seen in a while. When I asked how his fiancee was doing, he got very...

    Hidden nugget in the House's "health care for all Americans" bill

    "Drawn by a public option that will be 30% to 40% cheaper than their current premiums because taxpayers will be funding it, employers will gladly scrap their private plans and go with Washington's coverage." 30-40% cheaper -- will never happen, but would be nice. Most of the insurance...

    ‘We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt’

    Adjusted for inflation, this would be far from true. FDR and spending during WW2 was a HUGE part of the budget. But compared to now, it was small. And how about who ruled Congress during this years? Most of the Republican admins the last few decades had a Dem congressional majority.

    How many people here actually make a living?

    I suspect more retail traders are a lot closer to $5-10K. If they have $25K, they first spend $8K on a shyster promising: --- our methods is "things that professional traders don't want you to know." --- you can be profitably day trading within 3 days --- you only have to spend 25...

    As usual, you are nearly indecipherable. Still trying to figure out why I never put you on ignore. --- you don't get audited, because these people who actually could show your stuff as useful or not are undependable (most people call that, being evasive) --- you are often incapable of...

    Great Britains GDP

    For 100K, you don't need to go to Britain for school. There are very high (private) quality schools in most western countries. In fact, a number of the US Senators tout and claim to support public education, yet send their own kids to exclusive private schools. It is called "do as I say...

    Don't forget to dismiss 90% of those claiming to make a lot, who confuse paper/sim trading with REAL trading.

    Ron Paul says healthcare not a right

    Healthcare is a right? When others pay for it, healthcare users want the best of everything. Like that woman who used treatments to get implanted embryos, had a LARGE birth (premature), and it cost her state several million dollars Her right? Or her abuse of other people's money?
