of course not. He gave Hilary a job.

Quote from putergeekalb: Thirdly, I have been struggling. I have had some systems that did work and they have since seemed to go south. That is probably because they never "worked" in the first place. "Worked for X months and now they don't" means it probably never really worked...

+1. A mindless statement without an y proof, and ignoring all of the costs involved - slippage, commissions, risk, user/broker/communication error, data/system fees, the value of your own time. Not to mention the concept of cutting losses short and letting your profits run (even on short...

Minds should be open, but it is up to the claimant to prove outlandish claims. It is not for others to see 3 minute Youtube videos and turn off the skeptic's instinct, and go "gosh, it is so amazing." We live in a world filled with fraud, marketing, trickery, deceit, parlour tricks, "magic" and...

Looked like his focus was on the black woman who he helped to step down. Seriously, these photogs have way too much time on their hands. Run a lot of footage, pull out something & extrapolate to an "indiscretion." No wonder the real people with integrity and brains are not so drawn into...

It is never that simple. There are reasons that similar instruments diverge, so you need to do your homework. But if there is a market inefficiency, usually the large investment houses have hammered it out in seconds (that is called ARBitrage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage)

Something we learned a long time ago... Outstanding claims deserve outstanding proof. They do NOT deserve belief and adulation. After Madoff, thought this would be rather clear on this forum "Wow, almost 30 years of outstanding returns. How does he do it?" Well, we learned. Smoke and...

Let's see, the division that mostly fouled up AIG, and the employees want their retention bonus of $235 million. Why do they deserve to be retained? How about a response of "YOU IDIOTS SCREWED UP THE COMPANY. IT IS FISCALLY INSOLVENT, AND BELONGS TO THE TAXPAYERS. NOW, GET LOST AND SCREW...

Somehow, the bolded sentences summarize your problems. You are a struggling trader, offering to let people you don't know trade your account with a "boatload of margin." You are either delusional or will soon be bombarded with offers from a number of delusionals, who will manage to trade...

Why is a blog interesting if you do not see the track record? We already have a lot of analysts on TV and elsewhere telling us what the market is going to do. And overall as a group, their performance generally seems to be random. And if someone accidentally calls 2 market moves in a row...

And who would that be? I hope you are becing comical. As Hilary said about him, "All we have, is a speech."

Is a 6 hour "trading "tournament" about skills or who gets the luckiest using the worst money management? How can a person determine anything in 1 day?

Look under Career trader: Talk with other traders about taxes, licensing, business entities, hedge fund formation, and other aspects of trading for a living. As to personal finance, that is pretty much what most of the rest of the threads are about - Stocks, trading, ETFs, Forex, etc...

So if he had it reduced to 30 years, he could get out at age 101... Madoff won't appeal 150-year prison sentence By Kevin McCoy, USA TODAY Bernard Madoff won't appeal his 150-year prison sentence for running a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that victimized investors worldwide, his...

it is somewhat. Being well-capitalized, well-managed, and skilled. But even with all these, most traders still lose their wad. You either have an outperformance and good money management or you don't

2 companies 50X plus oversubscribed. Only shows that Goldman etc did a really poor job valuing the companies.

just remember the phrase, penny wise and pound foolish. Trying to save $100 up front may lead to big problems 6 years from now. LLCs look simple, but they are steeped in requirements and complex law. You can bet that people who did not do their homework are the most likely to get slammed...

Then don't quote "personal observation" as "truth." They have little to do with each other.

If you don't have an edge, this is a more expensive way to lose your money. You are adding time decay to your expenses.
