You guys need to stop thinking in theoretical terms and think in real life historical examples. The whole textbook definition of capitalism as being this free market entrepeneur fair chance ideology is a myth. Capitalism existed before the definition was even thought of. The basics of it were...

More like feudalism & monarchy which of course does not end up well as the history of Europe has shown over years. It should be noted that 1600-1700s imperialist Europe was almost pure capitalist. [B] The rich need the poor, the poor are only brainwashed into thinking that they need the...

Dammit I almost got there too. Stupid puzzle. Second time I can't figure it out. 8 years ago I remember working on the same one.

Someone please explain the answer to this one. It's pissing me off.

You would have to teleport.

That's open to interpretation. There is text and there is the image. I do not understand how smth that is open to interpretation can be used to measure intelligence.

This is SPAM, IMO. If you recommend stocks like YHOO, EBAY & AMZN to newbies, you are full of it. Those stocks are for pros, contrary to what the unexperienced may think. When Shay aka BestDayTrader was an advertiser here, he was ripped apart and shown to be full of it. It's a scam...

Yup Yup. Fortunes are made on the misery of others. Everytime there is a catastrophe, someone rich is making even more riches. Rockefellers, Henry Ford, Rothchilds, Vanderbuilts and even the Bush family earned a large portion of their riches from WWII.

2.84% of float is short. WTF are you talking about.

Yeah, probably another super value creating Bankruptcy like KMART.

Their monthly passes seem to be working out all right. They also resell used DVDs and games. BBI finally put more into their game budgets, being that game rentals are very popular. Still not enough though. The game pass is prob a great revenue business for them. A lot can be fixed up in BBI...

No way but I certainly would not mind collecting some of those fees :D The article makes it sounds like that every "hot shot" that starts a hedge fund gets rich quick. For some reason it reminds me of the tech funds that had 200-300% returns 1998-2000 and were out of existence in 2002.

The problem is that the article is written by NEWYORKMETRO and is completely uneducated to the overall state of the industry. There is not much difference between the mutual fund and hedge fund industry anymore. Most of these funds do nothing but slowly lose their investors' moneys, collect...

You answered a lot of your own concerns about these technologies. Humans essentially only need food, water, shelter, sleep & sex, yet look at the luxuries of today's world that have been turned into necessities. Whether Navigation technology is vital or not is not important. Mass consumers...

Even though NVT past earnings performance was exaggerated by a one time plus adjustment to earnings, it is still a stock that has some nice volatility & buying interest. Not sure bout the investment but this guy swings.

I think making a million being short in less than a year in 1906 is a much bigger accomplishment than being a perpetual bull and having the market on your side. Darvas would have been nowhere with his inital stake if he started out during a stagnant bear market and we would have never ever...

Wow wish I saw this thread yersterday. NVT would have been a great trading opportunity today. 3 points and such a nice smooth chart.

In other words, he COULD NOT MAKE ANY MONEY during a bear market. PERIOD. Not a trader but an investor. Why do you think he kept his dancing career. Some of it was for passion but the bottom line is that Darvas could not say to himself "I can make a steady living from the market". He...

Oh yeah in retrospect it's soooo easy to figure out what you should have bought and held. It's so easy yet the investing sheep still manage to lose their life savings every market cycle. If you honestly believe that the real money on Wall Street was made by investing and not trading, god...

Ok first of all, we are talking about books of trading NOT investing. Darvas's writings reminded me of O'Neil (who obviously learned from Darvas's stop methodology), great for investing but soso for trading. Livermore led a lifestyle of a trader, he could and did take money of the market close...
