Cutten, I agree with Ditch. These guys aren't stupid, they're cocky. Criminals are getting arrogant now with the way they flaunt the law. They know the punishment will never fit the crime. If you're buddies with a politician, you'll get a slap on the wrist at worst. If you're a rich Democrat...

Gulp. That's why. Today is a good day to look at the charts and realize that STOP LOSSES ARE YOUR FRIEND. Oh. My. God.

I find that if the market's open, you can make (or lose) money... if you want to make good money with less stress, yeah, the morning seems good. It trends for a while, you can sit back and keep raising your mental stops. If the market's sluggish, you will have to fight to squeeze a few pips out...

Anyone know of any good study aids or websites I can go to? I wouldn't mind picking up some Chinese myself.

I think any thread about MrMarket should be automatically moved into the Psychology section.

Being an enabler is good too. According to Cheney, the war on terror is here to stay, so I can't see a well-run military tech company going under for a while... I bookmarked the links, I'll watch for "reasonless dips" and think about it then.

Killing is my business, and business is good.

Dude, what are all those lines supposed to represent? It looks like Spider-Man attacked your chart.

Over the long-term, the US Dollar will approach its natural value of Zero as America becomes a banana republic due to its massive world-crushing debt and irresponsible short-term thinking economic strategies. But before that? Sorry, no idea. "What stage of the decline are we currently in" is the...

I have no clue, but here's my guess: 50% goes to the wife 50% goes to the government 30% goes to the wife again Which equals 130%, which is why we call it the rat race. There's no winning this bloody game. Get out now while you still can.

Don't forget the time value of money: that if we buy a more fuel-efficient vehicle, or spend less on the gas we DO buy, every dollar we save can go into retirement funds, earning us interest, dividends, or whatever for the next 50 years until we retire. A hundred dollars becomes a thousand, a...

I know Chit-Chat is a huge time-waste, but it's addictive! If you don't like Chat, don't read it. I don't think cutting popular features out of ET will make it better, even if the features are useless to many. For example, I'll pretend for the sake of argument that I don't like the Economics...

Since I know that the majority (that's you) is wrong the majority of the time, I'll take this to mean that there will be NO terror attacks until you feel safe. Once you post that we've finally achieved world peace, I'm shorting Planet Earth with every cent I can scrounge.

I'm with BobCathy. If this site started charging, I'd have to ditch it in a heartbeat. It's not that I don't have the money; it's that really I haven't learned ANYTHING here. It's sad but true. It wouldn't be worth it. ET is entertaining but not educational for the most part. There's a couple...

You mean give them BACK to Mexico. When I was in Puerto Vallarta this January, I talked Mexican history with a professor there. He talked about the Mexican 'Civil War', Morellos, Diaz, Pancho Villa, a bunch of other guys there I'd never heard of. He grimaced a bit when he mentioned the US...

America doesn't use the same date naming system as the rest of the world. It would be more meaningful for the guys in Saudi Arabia--oh, sorry, Afghanistan, to have attacked Spain 119 days after 11 September. Because they'd probably note it as 11-9-2001, not 9-11-2001. Not to draw flames, but...

The US debt is TRILLIONS. The Chinese especially are a worrisome large holder of US debt (being scary and all); however, all the Johnny Sixpacks out there putting money away for their retirement are holding much more if you add them all up. Japan is still a "minority shareholder" so to speak...

Good point. What paranoid links do you commonly read? I'm kinda partial to WhatReallyHappened and Disinfo. And of course, anything by harrytrader.

I normally know better than to get into these religious flamewars, but I was just wondering -- didn't Adam eat the Apple? He didn't die that day. What's up with that?

What's your setup like? You sound confident that you won't be hacked. You can't be running Windows, otherwise you'd probably be hacked already. I'm really interested -- you can't have too much security. And as I said, I'm about 90% paranoid and would appreciate any tips.
