    Why do people believe in this?

    I agree with that law, especially since it includes the word "tend". Since I'm not in the mood for wasting my time upon writing a longer reply, here's the right link in case you're interested into why that ís the case: http://www.hardrightedge.com/wizard/ss1.htm And if you're interested...

    Just publish your email adress on 3 or 4 publicly accessible online forums, and I'm sure you'll get plenty of business proposals via email. Or try this one alternatively: http://www.bbspot.com/News/2003/09/nigerian_millions.html

    Great Traders of the 20th Century

    All the answers are within you. May sound obvious, but if you try to find the way to profitability in other people, your subconscious mind will generate the association that you are dependent upon others. Better, try to imagine what it would be like to "be" some trader you admire. What...

    Are your strategies safe from your broker?

    Nope. Their commissions were very competitive btw, partly superior to interactive brokers'. And still, 90-95% of their futures traders, and 70-80% of their Stock/CFD-traders lose money on average...

    Are your strategies safe from your broker?

    I worked for a day trading broker. They contacted one of the very few profitable traders, and are about to start a new asset management division with him. With the other profitable guys, they are going to start a kind of tournament: they've contacted 4 or 5 of them, I think, and organized...

    is google really worth $300-350 a share?

    Congratulations man, I wish I had been as open to a contrary opinion six years ago as you are now. Would have saved me a good amount of nerves, to put it mildly. Basically, all I wanted to hammer into your conscious awareness is this: Place your stop loss orders and do not touch them...

    is google really worth $300-350 a share?

    This is a very interesting post IMO, but from the point of trading psychology. I can spot several patterns of blurred thinking I made myself about 6 years ago. Let's see: O.K., you're overweight. In other words, you made a, matter of fact, risky decision. And we humans just hate the...

    is google really worth $300-350 a share?

    No, it doesn't. Yahoo had a story. :p Edit: Now on a serious side note; do I see it correctly that goog currently has a market cap of 84 BILLION $ ?? http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=goog

    Circle T trader looses 12 mil on google

    I think this kind of news is what we can expect to hear more in the mid-term future. The hedge fund bubble is not going to burst with a loud bang but rather shrink fund after fund.

    Moive the Rogue Trader

    Wonderful link, thanks for posting it! :D I worked for a boiler room as well for a short time, and had a similar guy like that on the line. He started talking about how it is immoral to make speculative profits and how the entire economic system was going to crash and stuff. Had a funny 30...

    In case you have the DVD version, don't forget to watch the "alternative ending" in the specials/uncut section. That's the happy ending for grown up boys :D

    Trend: Hedge Funds

    Hedge Funds are becoming the financial scam of the decade. I'm pretty sure that all of them make money through kickback agreements with their broker. At least, that's my experience with managed futures funds so far. I've worked for a company once (a start up hedge fund to be precise) that...

    goog - a bloodbath in the making

    I read about a study published a few weeks ago from Watson Wyatt consultants ("capacity in the hedge fund industry"). According to them, there are only about 5-10% highly qualified hedge fund managers who are able to achieve significant returns after commissions. This means that there are only...

    goog - a bloodbath in the making

    Just a little technical speculation: AFAIK, Google relies on a network of cheap decentralized PCs spread all over the world. If one breaks down, it's cheap to replace it. Now we've seen the rise of Linux, P2P networks as well as wikipedia.com , where non-commercial users have bundled their...
