I love reading conspiracy theories and find some of them are very compelling. However, saying the illluminati or whatever could orchestrate all the malinvestment and secondary and accidental effects of the subprime mess is 100% ridiculous. Now i do agree that the cause or root of this...

Read some Austrian Economics. They pretty much had the blue print laid out decades ago for this current economic disaster.

We haven't had free market capitalism for some time. Mostly a mixed economy. Bailouts ahem ahem. Krugman is an idiot. Only beef with Milton is that human action can not be accuratley forecasted into "models", we humans are an irrational and impulsive bunch.

^^^^ Sure Detroit has some bad parts just like everyother major city. The auto debacle isn't helping but why not rip on nyc for all the banking disasters which dwarf our problem. It's a great place for nature buffs and oakland county is very nice. The winters are pretty brutal, a few days...

Well since i had no idea what the hell i was doing i lost. Since then i've lost about 5k trading forex. Learned a lot about discipline and emotional aspects of trading which are the most important ones. Any retard can push a button but good traders are emotionally strong just like champion...

I see what you're saying. The problem is that i'm confident in myself and my abilities but i'm in graduate school with no other income and i'd be using 5k out of 7k to my name to trade with. Clearly this isn't something smart to do but i've been trading and learning for 6 years now and i...

Thanks for all the responses. I can see how the question i asked seems rather skiddish on my part and overall is poorly communicated. Pherhaps i'm just looking for success stories of people who started out with 5k and never looked back. I'm looking to trade the NQ because it's not as...

Open e cry has a 5k minimum initial deposit with under 1k day trade margins on futures so i was thinking about that. Probably looking at the NQ as my account would be so small. I mean i'd be trading 1 contract only obviously, so fills are not that big of a deal. I'm just more curious...

If you had 5k would you put it in the futures market? *consider not being a newbie to the markets Just curious, i have 5k and want to start trading but if the environment is shitty i'll sit on the sidelines. Thanks!

Exactly, and when you really do think about these implications its very worrying. What are we capable of producing that the world will increase their demand for? Thereby allowing us to create jobs and pull ourselves out of this recession/depression without deficit spending.

Right now economists are referring to how we got out of the Great Depression. I believe it is common knowledge that the new deal did not get us out, but the entrance to wwII did. A new war? So by increasing government spending (hello Keynes) we "should" be able to get out of this slow...

There is also a few applied M.A. programs out there that have different coursework than the terminal M.A. you'd receive if you just dropped out of a phd program after the first year or two.

So what can a person do with a M.A. in economics? I mean this is a trading forum and it won't directly make you a better trader but for someone who wants to pursue a career as an economist in the private sector, do you really need a phd? Most phd's stay in academia from what i gather...

Ok, looks like i didn't use the search function effectively. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146606 Mods can close thread.

So let's say i have 5k to trade futures with, probably the NQ. I'm a graduate student and don't really have any income and due to that opening an account is next to impossible these days. So, what if i accidentally marked down a 40k a year income with net assets of 100k. Would this be...

We all know where this thread is headed. Side note: Each group of people from all walks of life have their idiots and morally handicap.

Drudge report and Rense.com Only news i'll read. Everything else is a waste of time.

Incorrect, Phil clearly understands what will happen in bankruptcy. People outside of the mid west can't comprehend why the job multiplier is 7 or 8 to 1. I'm not sure i'd believe it if i didn't live here. Phil is the only one on CNBC who understands that the situation is black or white...

For some reason i can't find the code, but i do have a code for it in wealth lab. I'm not sure in anyone can translate it into TS language but here it is anyway. By the way i did not write this code and am taking no credit for it. It was available to the public on the old wealth lab site.
