    Rick Santelli on Rush Limbaugh's Show

    But, but, stock_trad3r only a few years ago you would have probably agreed with Hillary 2003_ Hillary Clinton“…I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic…We should stand up and say, we are Americans...

    Career/Life Question (CFA,etc.)

    But CFA is much more respected than CMT and other qualifications. Are there any qualifications that mean anything during hiring? Is the default simply to trade alone or get an MBA? Has anyone been hired for a job that they would not have received without one of these qualifications? If you...

    Fraudster caught with cash in his boots

    Madoff was a first offender, has a career of civic participation, poses no threat to society, is in ill health, yada, yada, yada He will never spend a day in jail, he will cut a deal, and exchange probation for information concerning the scheme. The whole thing stinks. :(

    California....what happened?

    True When Mayor Ed Koch was voted out of office he replied, "Well the people of New York have spoken; and now they must be punished". With Obama the American people have spoken and we all will be punished. "The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's...

    please recommend good books for futures trading and day trading?

    Watching a screen by itself will not work. Research done on people learning to play chess and music shows that there is a big difference between 'passive observation' and 'committed practice'. To reach 'committed practice' in trading requires actual trading with real money. Get an Oanda FX...

    socialized medicine another failed experiment

    Socialized medicine has been around long enough to compare numbers other than the cost per individual. So much for the "free" health care they could have received at home. But what about the cost advantages of socialized medicine? Look at the data and don't accept the socialist 'central...

    Newspapers continue falling

    He doesn't have to look far. His deal includes a payout at 14% annual interest. He also gets warrants on 16 million shares of Times 'A' stock (front of the line). These warrants will let him buy another 10%. For this loan NYT will pay Slim $35 million a year in interest..... This is a...

    Guru Dennis Bolze missing

    Do you think Bolze thought he could continue the ponzi plan forever, or did he believe he would trade back to win at the end. In one interview his wife said he traded until just a few months ago. Why work so hard building that house knowing everything was going to blow up within a year or...

    Guru Dennis Bolze missing

    The house is amazing. I watched his blog as he posted pictures of it while it was being built. Everything custom. The staircase was built around a very large tree. The driveway was about 100 feet above the ground on concrete pillars.... About halfway done from the start of construction...

    'Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years

    This is incorrect. If you watch her in any of her interviews she is a very committed advocate for free markets and the story was just a commercial way to spread her philosophy. Also incorrect that her forecast of a socialist world took 52 years to play out. In 1977, a blackout left some 9...

    BioComp Profit 8 - Trading the ES

    Thanks channelops. Have you done a walk forward test where you retrain every 3 or 5 days. Scheduling the time when you retrain is under your control. Especially using sample data before lehman meltdown to trade a post lehman world does not seem realistic. For your next system how often...

    Proprietary Program

    Remain independent and work for him as a contractor keep your method as a Trade Secret. If you do become an employee insist on an agreement that the intellectual property and derivative products are yours alone. A patent for a trading system does not offer a lot of benefits for the following...

    An example of curve fitting - How can I avoid it?

    Divide your data into 2 groups, backtest sample and 'out of sample' data. Train and optimize using your 'back test' and then run again on your 'out of sample' data set. The results from both sets should be almost identical otherwise you are curve fitting the data. You can also randomly...

    On Spelling

    Tdog, I agree. My suggestion, start with spelling, then grammar, then address community standards of behavior, and finally dress codes. You can do it Tdog, but at what cost? It may mean a campaign of hundreds of posts before it is over.... (Is the market dead today or what???!?! :( )

    Jesse Livermore - Market Key

    A paintbar study of Livermore's approach was posted to the Tradestation forum and also very helpful, to me anyway, in understanding the written descriptions found in publications.

    Can anyone reflect on taking college psychology or behavioral finance for trading?

    http://oyc.yale.edu/economics/game-theory/contents/downloads Yale has a number of first class courses online. Before taking the psy cources I would take this one on Game Theory: It is free and the lectures are very well done. Much more useful than psychology, for trading or any other...
