    Elliot Waves

    I agree with stripping away the superfluous. But adherence to the KISS principle for me does not lead to a bare price chart. Tools are useful and relate to a person's knowledge, skills, and experience. A chart of bare price bars on any of my display space means it hasn't been formatted and no...

    Elliot Waves

    What's not really there? Price waves/oscillations/undulations? Price ebbs and flows. That much is visible.

    Once I stopped counting past 3, it all made sense.

    Why don't foreigners pay taxes at US exchanges?

    This is a post on a message board. I am not writing an opinion letter or a legal brief. I can appreciate your wanting citations, but that's up to my whim. If you don't appreciate my tone, that's your problem. Although I am here to bullshit, I can assure you I do not post false information...

    Why don't foreigners pay taxes at US exchanges?

    There is no such thing as a "witholding tax." Withholding is a collection issue. Taxes on certain kinds of income are subject to withholding by the payer because it would be very difficult to collect from a nonresident otherwise. Before the collection issue, however, comes the determination of...

    Why don't foreigners pay taxes at US exchanges?

    That's not quite correct. The US claims source jurisdiction over income of nonresidents, including capital gains, that are from US sources. It is only by bilateral treaty that US-source capital gains of nonresidents are exempt. If the nonresident is from a non-treaty country, he would be subject...

    Why don't foreigners pay taxes at US exchanges?

    Loose foreigners are a benefit if they are hot young females. Am I right or am I right?

    Why don't foreigners pay taxes at US exchanges?

    In general, the US taxes residents and citizens on their worldwide income. The US taxes nonresidents only on their income sourced in the US which may or may not be subject to tax by their country of residence. By treaty, income from interest, dividends and royalties is taxed at a reduced rate...

    Stages of a Trader

    Double Barrel, where did you get the chart? LOL This is the funniest shit. If my chart is in your ebook that you're peddling, the courteous thing to do was ask for permission first. I do remember seeing this years ago on another site that I was invited to by Spydertrader when he started his...

    Chess

    You are right. It is funny. Running, wrestling, and swimming comparable to playing chess? Really now, and you say my Special Olympics analogy is poor. Why not compare chess to something that fits, like a mental activity? How about mental arithmetic? There used to be contests between humans for...

    Chess

    Here is what isn't speculation: Houdini, Stockfish, Rybka, Fritz, etc. would dominate all of them. The engines have revealed that even the best human players are not that good at chess. Competitions amongst humans are the chess version of the Special Olympics.

    Chess

    Of course you can analyze the recorded games of players to reveal how close to the "truth" the moves are. The point of futility is the comparison whether Player A from one era is/was stronger than Player B from a different era given the knowledge and resources available at the time. Agree all...

    Chess

    Comparing chess players from different eras is futile. The play has evolved as the game's mysteries continue to be revealed with the use of computers and those solutions widely disseminated. Fischer's opponents were lucky he quit when he did because he would have dominated for years. But the...

    With Houdini, anyone can be a genius. Not to take anything away from Stockfish, which is also quite good.

    I'm going to become a daytrader - looking for a trading group / network

    Looking for an online trading group for "fresh ideas" is not a good sign for someone starting out. It indicates to me that you are inadequately prepared. Years ago when I first moved my trading out of an office into my home I joined a chat room run by the trading firm I was trading with. It was...

    His title could be Head Cheerleader, what does it matter? He is the biggest name in chess right now and probably the most marketable champion in the US since Fischer. Even if all he did was pose for pictures, it would still be good for chess in this country if it means more money flowing into...

    The article reports that Carlsen is an honorary chairman. Nothing about him going into classrooms to teach. Your job is safe, nitro. You can relax.

    A girl born in a boys body

    I have not been fooled so far, knock on wood. But unlike nitro, I don't go for flat-chested, reedy types. Plus I have plenty of experience with "high tech" women so I can't be easily fooled. LOL
