    Sure, I also checked the Barrons for the funds you mentioned, I could not find any of them in the listing. Not that that is good or bad as I think this is a self-reporting group as opposed to SEC regulated open and closed end funds. Good Luck

    Caspain, This link was posted by Bob777 on another thread, it is well worth the time it takes to read. http://www.phillymag.com/Archives/2001June/prodigy.html This last weekends Barrons had a list of Hedge Funds and their 1 and 3 year returns. It does not take much in depth research to...

    40 Reasons for Gun Control

    I own a gun, and pity the fool that breaks in for my cheetos and second hand furniture. That said, there are too many groups that stand behind the constitution for their individual liberties. We are a society, not an individual. If we are to progress as a society, everyone has to give a...

    Democrat or Republican

    I have to ask myself why Jesse Ventura is not seeking a second term as governor of MN. I suspect the answer is that with our current government structure real change is not coming, so he got tired of dealing with the Washington BS. Lumber Tariffs, Steel Tariffs, and Farm Subsidies...

    Go figure...

    I don't know that I see that people are "upset" that some guru or another didn't make them rich, although perhaps some are. What I see more, and think it is positive is a community of people who for the most part don't want to see others being ripped off by unscrupulous vendors. There are a...

    401 k withdrawals

    Earlier this year I ran a sample return on another thread using Kiplinger Software. There was quite a difference between the ending tax bill and initial tax bill. And all of this is based on plugging information where it appears to be most correct. So it does pay to check behind your...

    401 k withdrawals

    Gifting to grandkids or anyone for that matter is tax-free up to 11K per year per person for both the donor and the recipient. However, this type of gifting has no impact on one's tax bracket. Unless of course the gifts are made to a qualified charity, and then I think the limit is 50% of your...

    Daniel, Don't know if you have read both, if so, how would you compare "The Stock Trader" with "How to Take Money from WS" The Stock Trader was good, just curious if the later is just a rehash or truly new material. Thankz

    More BS on Wallstreet

    OK here is a question of who knows what. PSS on Wednesday someone opened 250 Nov 50 Puts, on Thursday another 250 were opened and the stock closed at it's low. Total 500 contracts when normal open interest is 20 or so. Today an analyst downgrade and a drop to 48.25, and a company press...

    Businessweek seminars worth it? Help please!!!

    If I am limited to 5 books, here is where I would start. When to Buy, When to Sell, and The Nature of Risk by Justin Mamis. Stock Market Technique 1 & 2 by Richard Wycoff I am sure Daniel has another 5 in mind, so that should give you a good 10 to start with. As for software, I like...

    My dog Shreddy got run over by a car and I can't sleep

    Nitro, Sorry to hear about the accident. Not much I can say other than that. Perhaps a trip to the local shelter to give an abandoned dog a home would provide some comfort. We always had strays growing up, and they always seemed grateful. Mac

    Businessweek seminars worth it? Help please!!!

    NO NO NO NO NO AND NO!! There is a ton of new and FREE information on the web. For $4000 you could buy an library of books and get far more information on the market. But, if you don't belive me, and this is just a guess on my part. Go to the last 8 copies of BW and flip to the back...

    Flow-Thru tax products

    I would start with these sites and the rule that if you don't have a real business purpose for the entity it is illegal. If you can find some tax court decisions supporting the structure it is to your advantage to do so. References to the constitution or state laws are NOT the equivalent of a...

    for a new trader is it wise to either buy or rent a system?

    Breezy, This is just my opinion, and I don't know about either system. Take the X dollars that you plan on spending for a system and buy some good trading books. Hell, buy some shitty trading books too. And then spend all your free time studying them. Develop a methodology and try it...
