Thinking that the 1970 family was so well off is a myth. My father was a programmer/manager. He did work for his company for 30 years and had a decent pension, unlike jobs now. Parents had a few kids - it is expensive! Yes there was inflation, but the salaries rose with it. Owned...

Reminds me of a Calc class many years ago. On the first midterm, it was too easy an exam (class average was a 90). So on the 2nd midterm, the prof decided to bring the average back down. It was a FORTY (40). You solve a problem, and your answer looked like none of the multiple choices...

In this country, I think people should be allowed to practice their personal faith without second guessing from the press or the public. If the Jewish Connecticut senator wants to wear a yarmulke, or the native American Senator (Colorado) wanted to wear a religious item reflecting his heritage...

which one, there are so many...

cable TV, interenet connection, cell phone plans, computers/laptops/software, videocams, kid's various summer camps, etc. there is a lot of things we take for granted now that have changed. Then, you worked 20-30 years for a company and got a nice pension. Now, you work 6 5 year stints...

In other words, you average down/up. Keep adding positions to "cost average" it. And you are willing to amass huge intra-trade drawdowns praying that it comes back. That is called Hold&Hope and it does NOT work. Sooner or Later, it blows up when the market moves too much against your...

Again, your statement and so far I have not lost yet, but I added that .0000001% possibility of a loss, a very small loss, to be realistic. is enough to paint you as a clueless schmuck. No real trader would ever claim something this stupid, only a backtesting sycophant who is convinced that...

Looks like ML QUANT'S sidekick is posting here. (Mr. 100% winners)

PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD - THE SPAMMERS ARE COMING OUT IN FORCE.

You need to get back on your Lithium before the next Manic Depressive moment hits...

Umm, proof? You willl reimburse the person all these "performance fees" if it blows up? People should sign up with an anonymous thread starter?

dunno which futures you trade (eminis?) you could trade it on places like timertrac.com, collective2.com, theta research, and build a track record.

Unlikely the problem, but ensure your system fan is still working. Hot PCs can slow way down.

Just one more reason to trade Currency futures rather than FX.

Rowshan The latest to join my ignore list

It is unbelievable anyone would have their millions + at ONE place. Divide your money widely if you are rich. Otherwise, you might wind up like the Madoff and Stanford client pigeons Diversification also means not trusting one person. This video is a 90 year old man, who lost all his...

as compared to the US - $55-65 billion a month???

my guess, is he wanted to build a mailing list of traders from ET for some sort of service. Someone did that a couple weeks ago (J B Dunn or something like that)

Listening to someone who is ignorant of the Law and proud of it is like listening to the clever person who thought hiding his money offshore would help avoid taxes. Look at what is happening to UBS now. It works, until it doesn't. And then, the pain can be severe when they catch you...
