From 2.40 to 2.06 per side. But how come they didnt' updated on their website yet?

jack5, Actually a lot of places want BOTH now! MBA is to show you can get into a good school. CFA is for the ACTUAL finance knowledge you'll need at work. The skill requirements just keep going up and up.. Too much competition. Soon, Indian and Chinese will be getting CFA and MBAs too. In...

mackie, Sure, we can become competitive if we wanted to. We still have the best resources, talent, and educational system in the world for now... But the problem I see if that it's not that easy. We have been preaching global capitalism for years. And it would be very hypocritcal for us to...

harrytrader, I respect you a lot! And I like reading your posts here on ET,etc. You are a nice fella etc. But your predictions or whatever are just horrendous! Don't do predictions. It aint' worth it. Cuz NO ONE knows where the market will go. The gurus and Sornettes of the world can have...

Puffygums, I hate Sornette! Lil f*cker! He keeps on changing his predictions. Last spring if you read his webpage, he was predicting a HUGE drop in the market. So, I was partial bearish. Waiting for the big crash to come. To make a long story short(no pun intended. hehe), I missed out...

bbmat: With all due respect, I think you should get off your i-banking high horse. ;) Sure, there are CTAs who run money purely on technical trading systems. John Henry uses trend following. So, did Richard Dennis. Ed Seykota, etc. So, there's some merit to TA. But to get a good trading...

Do you have any info on their prop trading program? Salary? Trade mostly NYMEX stuff or other? I'm reading his book. Pretty good stuff. Very solid.

Dude, you are splitting hair! Investors in Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway are interested in generating WEALTH! Whether that is through stock picking, cash flow from his insurance business, buying and holding to minimize taxes, they dont' give a SHIET! The original investors of Buffet's funds...

Yeah, I think it aint going to be that drastic right away. Maybe in 10-20 years we might see some serious dislocations. But change is a 2nd derivatives effect. It's always ACCELERATING. Non linear. A lot of people who are in the forecasting business kept thinking linearly about computers...

When I say 95% traders fail, I'm INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL institutional traders, fund managers and the like! The top 1% of this industry takes from the 99% that lose! Those losers INCLUDE your fund manager, your below performing institutional traders and what not..

Getting back to 95% of traders fail, I would dare say the number is ABOVE 100%! If you read Market Wizards, then you'll see that many of these supertraders BLEW OUT not ONCE, NOT TWICE, but sometimes as many as THREE or more times! The countless wannabes traders who blow out their account...

I wished I was that olde bozo of omaha worth about $30B or so. That would be nice! Most academics don't know jack about money. I read that article. The writer who is some economics department at GMU who probably makes at most $150K/yr. But we are not doing a pissing contest here. You can...

What did you trade to get 10K to 375K??? I'm very curious. I'm not saying it's not possible, but the odds are very slim. Just wondering which market and which trends did you ride.. thnx,,

axeman, You got a good point. And right now, a lot of even Ivies graduates don't get jobs. Harvard MBAs are unemployed! Or finding it very difficult to find jobs. So, will CPAs and other financial service jobs. And it's due to just the statistics of sheer numbers. A billion Indians. A...

mr_minty: thanks for your help. But to ask a simple question, how do you do #2? Can you put both daily and intraday chart in one chart like a split chart? If you can show me how I'll try to get the intraday data going back. Also, I think it might be possible to write a VB script or...

I mean have you PERSONALLY dl 10 YEARS of a stock INTRADAY history? Which stock(s) and your step by step guide to doing it? I always get this too much data you'll have to wait for another time stuff. Even on the weekends. So, it's off market hours. Hmm...

mr_minty: I keep on hearing that TS has 10yrs of intraday data. That's bogus! I can only download 1yr. And when I try to download 2002 intraday data on a large stock liek IBM even. It doesn't give me the data. It said to hold on and it will dl another time. Have you personally been able to...

dchang0, that was my POINT exactly. A lot of phds are awarded to foreigners. A lot of faculty from top US schools are foreigners. And many of them are pure academics too. Not all of business minded. Pure math. Pure physics,etc. But everyone wants to stay here because of our high standards...

bobcathy1, Is TS7.2 available yet? I keep trying to go to the TS website and do the download platform now. And it said version 7.1 Build 1118??! So, 7.2 is NOT available even after all this ads saying it is? I've waited a while and it's still on the same build. hmm...

This is the core issues here. Of course, the US economy has always moved up the value chain. Textiles going overseas. Manufacturing going overseas. And now low level white collar jobs going overseas. But I think we are at a critical juncture here in our economic history and evolution of...
