It is. When your dollars become worthless demand for gold will be sky high and the supply will not be large enough to fill the demand. Result? High price.

That's a valid point but there's no difference between 1 contract and 50 shares of SPY, aside from the fact that it takes a heck of a lot less money to get that 1 contract (50:1 leverage). But, from a charting standpoint, if you are successful trading 50 shares of SPY then you should be...

The recent market is exactly what I'm talking about and it's been shaaweet! Typically, I'd have to ride a 3 point correction. Nowadays, those corrections are 10-12 points. How can that NOT be good?

Dude, that's even better. Forget what I said earlier, just do the opposite of what you normally do. Ohhh....wait, what if the stop on the short gets hit? Operator, you really screwed him up now :mad:

Exactly my experience and that's why I don't use a physical stop and why I enter when other stops have been hit. If you are having this problem try this: mentally enter the market where your typical trigger would be and then place your buy order (assuming you're going long) where your stop...

"...a longer-term examination of debt markets reminds us that, throughout human history, regular default is more the rule than the exception. And while sovereign defaults on external, foreign-currency debt are most common, Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff demonstrated in a paper released...

I would agree the futures markets are the most efficient markets but you don't need to have inefficiencies to exploit in order to make money. You just have to understand the behavior of price. A more efficient market is much easier to trade because it behaves in a more predictable fashion...

Not true. Not even close to being true. You just have to have an edge. If you can trade SPY you can trade the ES

LOL. You really think I listen to stocktrader's calls? That's funny!

Because the FED and the fiancial system -- i.e. JPM, C, GS -- are the SAME THING. They are NOT bailing out the financial system. They are bailing out THEMSELVES! If the financial system collapses the FED collapses. Why is the government not so willing to bail out the Auto's? Because the...

this dude sounds just like stock_trader

If you buy a share of stock you become an "owner" of that company, along with every other person who holds the same stock. If a company is profitable they can do one of three things with the money. 1. Reinvest it in future projects with the hope of generating a high return on the result...

This is exactly why the US wants to nationalize the pension plan system. SSA would be a permanent source for the US to unload its debt.

Superior to IB in just about every respect.

It means these are "yesterday's" stocks. QCOM was one of the many momo's back in the dot-com era. It never came close to its momo high and began trading more in-line with the fundamentals of the company. The momo era for AAPL, RIMM, GOOG, and all the other shit stock_trader follows is over...

Ohhhh....I don't feel bad for Charlie. I feel bad for Maria B. Those "1000" -- funny how she always makes it a point to say she owns 1000, instead of she just owns -- shares she owns has gone from 50k to almost 0k. The poor girl!

"Citi never sleeps." Soon it will be resting in peace.

It is almost impossible for a fund manager to beat the market, or benchmark. Timing is only one of the problems fund managers face. Almost no fund manager can consistently beat the market.

Ain't this the truth. Guaranteed buy, hold, and lose your ass strategy. The perfect recipe for the government to issue the option of surrendering your 401k into their hands so they can "manage" it for you. When things get bad enough people will beg for this and it is the perfect source for...
