Only the TA bookseller would make that kind of claim,

It seems just as odd that Joe Sixback Trader would be hit either. If the point is to cover the cost of TARP, then it certainly wasn't the little daytrader who caused the problem.

The wind whistling through his ears... It is like a 3 year old with his Dad's pistol. He loves the noise, but has no clue about what the dangerous end can do. Not to mention what bankruptcy does to someone who tries to get a job in the future..

how did someone as wishy-washy as you ever get investors to trust them??? Based on your self description, I would not let my money get anywhere near you...

The results are very telling. This is one of the most lopsided votes I have seen on ET.

somehow, that seems like a more realistic assessment...

Let us rephrase that. How is it the USA's problem if someone killed 300 people in Zurich, and then flee to the USA and asks asylum...

Put the money back in as quickly as possible and stop trying to be clever. You will wind up losing a lot of money and then being in serious debt.

Swiss party wants to punish U.S. for UBS probe http://www.reuters.com/article/wtMostRead/idUSTHO15017420090221 Let me get this straight, they are angry because the US is pursuing tax cheats???

We may never know...

and why does this set of verses particularly point to Obama? Why does it have to be a US President? Why does it have to be a President at all? How about King of England? Secretary of the UN?

Quote from Cesko: After less than a year 2500 posts. Talk about wasted time. And you spend each moment of each day doing only superior and wise things? What you have said applies to any kind of business. Hardly. Making a really decent living longterm via trading is probably way <...

Anything that you have absolutely no control over Personally, I would not trust broker statements from you. With Photoshop, anything can be manipulated. But you could get independent auditiing. Depending on what & how you trade, places like: -Timertrac.com -FuturesTruth.com...

You have a funny way of ending your postings on the thread, since you restarted less than an hour later...

Almost everyone who decide to "become a trader" is going to waste a lot of time and energy. That is the reality. The few analyses based on evidence of how day traders do is extremely discouraging. Unfortunately, ET and the web are places where paper traders brag of their success and...

I think the real problem for you, is like many other "traders". The number who succeed at trading is not the 5% (if 95% lose). Most of the 5% are breakeven or small profits, and mostly for short time periods. You dumped 75% in Jan? You are not the first. That happens to all sorts of...

forex-forex "TRADING GURU"?? I would pretty much guarantee your profits are either in your head or in paper only.
