Max, I would be careful about the freedom of information act and protesting taxes in general. Alot of these are ideas that tax protestors put out from time to time and are almost always false and in most cases illegal. The best way to support a tax position is to find a court case that...

Chas, Is there any way to compare the QCHA action with the July Lows and August top against the Oct Low and Nov top? The action of individual stocks seems to have diverged in a positive way from the indexes. However, due to the lack of positive news, and the quickness of the run I am...

Chas, that ad/line is interesting. It would appear that a break of 1.3 ish could lead us lower. Weekend chatter was still pretty bullish. Friday's reversal was curious, but after four down days that was the least we could expect. Good trading this week.

this is a good thread chas, look forward to the posts each week. On your second chart, the 1.8 level on the ad line has proved to be pretty strong resistance. Now if you could just chart the BullSpeak of the talking heads each weekend we would have a complete picture.

Babak, If you right click on the link and do save target as and put it in a file folder you should be able to view it using Adobe Reader. For some reason about 2 months back I started getting this error message when I tried opening PDF files on my computer.

Vlad, I want to start by saying that I don't get the impression that Katrina is trying to build a super race. And all I can say about the "Perfect Race" argument is that it is nothing more than a slippery slope. Hitler, Bin Laden, Hussein, Kadafhi, et. al. all came from the womb, not the...

Is that Michael Jackson or David Bowie, it is so hard to tell these days!

Bvam, I don't think with 10K in cash you would be able to short more than 500 Qs at 30. No way they would lend you 60k against 10K in equity. Second thing, buying 20 contracts is being a PIGGY with a 10 K account. Why not buy one contract and short 100 qs to test your theories? Regards

The understanding may come with a little exploration of why you feel you need to punish yourself with such a rigid, unhealthy belief structure. Maybe something is bothering you and you feel like it is the devil, or a strong religious belief system will change it. Personally, I feel bad because...

Chas, Do you interpret the low level of OLSS and the SP close as mildly bearish? I noticed in this week's Value Line that the public short sales were near a yearly low, while specialist short sales rose and members stayed the same. For the NYSE.

there was an interview with Larry Williams in Active Trader Magazine this month. May want to check that out first. Winner Take All was a good book. May be worth a read before dumping a lot of cash in Larry's coffers.

Actually, I am blaming God for not stopping the suffering on earth. If he created the earth, then surely he has the power to stop the suffering, or apply it in a more just fashion. Since he will not or can not, then I submit; if he will not he is not worthy of praise, and if he can not, he...

Katrina, The Bill Gates quote smacks of some truth. I have always wondered how much better we would be if people spent those three hours helping in the community.

Yes, those are sad. Those also tell me that all the people that are professing to be Christians, are really just paying it lip service and not acting. If your god has the power to stop this and doesn't then he is no one I would ever want to meet, much less serve. An innocent child, well...

Oldtrader, You make a very good point about dollar cost averaging. I would add that this is true in almost all business. People are most likely to expand business operations when they should be contracting, and fearful to take risk when they should be betting the farm. Hence the problem...

Why any god would allow this to go on is beyond me. http://www.msnbc.com/news/675098.asp

No pithy quotes, but I found the stats on America rather sad. It is estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger...

I think a very strong case can be made for a modified buy and hold strategy or dollar cost averaging, or both. What do I mean by modified buy and hold? If in 99 you had bought in to REITs when they were yielding 10% and held until everyone was talking about how great they are you would have...

Yeah, in 2001 roughly 20,000 children died of malnutrition or outright starvation. Another 20,000 died of preventable disease. Give or take, a million or more are sold into slavery or prostitution. All of this because some chick ate an apple and did who knows what with a banana...

Nusrat, This might be the same link that you have. http://online.wsj.com/login?URI=%2Fbarrons%2Fmktlab
