    The Dangers of Leverage

    Leverage can sometimes be inversely related to the size of one's account. Say a trader has 10k and really needs income to pay bills, etc...well, the only real way to even think about making 2-3k a month is with crazy leverage. It's funny how many have 10k and talk about making 100k a year. Or...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    It's comical when people compare "educators" with professors. I could easily be an 18-year old kid with a blog, and sell ways to make money in the market. No exams, no barriers to entry (besides the very minimal), and all I need to do is SELL. I won't go into what it takes to finish a PhD...

    If the government was a household budget...

    It's a pretty sweet gig if you on the right side of the equation. Forget further generations, life is short; spend, spend, spend, enjoy while others wonder why you have a 200k job with 200k pension forever and benefits, etc... If it's against the law, have congress change the law. Let others...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    I know one of the instructors. I remember hearing things like "Well, we can't tell them everything." As if they were hiding some holy grail. I don't think he even traded. Sure, nice guy, but their job is to sell. Teaching is one aspect, sure, but it really comes down to, "Did you sign them...

    I have a profitable strategy.... looking for a pair trader who knows what they are do

    So, NOT actual returns but you mean you make calls in real time? How can people be taken seriously when then don't put their money in the market, but instead make predictions. Before the Super Bowl, I said the Giants would win. That is a real time prediction. I made no money...

    A list of all scam unregulated 3rd party educational vendors

    I think ALL website salespersons should be on this list, UNLESS they prove they make money. Account Statements is impossible to ever see; however, they are teaching how to make money. If you teach in college or sports, you must prove your credibility. You may be a bad teacher regardless, but...

    FACEBOOK IPO M.O.-- screw the employees?

    Jealous can make people go blind. Read reports until they substantiate their own beliefs. Forget the obvious, hope for doom. GOOG was "horrible" at $85. A "disaster" at $100. Facebook will trade $800. China will become involved. Facebook will buy 100 companies; EPS through...

    Former Poker player...Where do I start?

    I've traded for a long time, and have played poker extensively. Poker and trading are quite different. 1. With poker, you are gambling a lot more. You can turn $10 into $1000 "relatively" easy. In trading, you really only turn $10,000 into $11,000. OK, with futures, 5 contracts at $500...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    It must feel like you and some classmates just got robbed for tens of thousands of dollars. Can you submit a claim with the SEC? Use small claims court? It's tough, because I have a clue what they do: This is support, this is resistance. OK, watch volume, this indicator and that, and...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    -------- To determine value, ask yourself "Why does it make more sense to sell an item, then use it? Why is their time better well spent selling than trading? Why give away the "secret' used for their retirement and others? I am sure it is worth about $25. To think about giving them...
