Big deal. Defense and entitlements are where all the money goes anyway, so this is just more feelgood BS.

That's a hoot.

Bush is a cardboard cut-out. He didn't get where he is by merit, that is for SURE. http://www.americandynasty.net/kp.htm

But it's probably the mildest criticism. Many more substantive issues. g

You've got to dig deeper. The AM radio dial reveals all. I heard a silky-voiced preacher saying we would have to destroy the infidels. It was all wrapped up with a reference to a biblical passage where the good guys had had to wipe out every last bad buy (Lem, was it?). Anyway, they are out...

:D

This is not true. The weight of scientific evidence is on the side global warming being real. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html#TOP g

Who do you see that fits the bill?

What happened on that day?

Good thread. Is there some source for a non-techie type that would explain all this stuff about system maintenance, backup, reformatting, etc? I'd feel more comfortable with a good book or something that would guide me safely through the process.

I shouldn't say 'no way', but .... no way. Gingrich is thoroughly discredited and marginalized. g

I agree. OK, we've had the immigration proposal, and the space program proposal. Looks like we are going to have a proposal per week through the election year. And it also looks like it is all intended for show. We won't really be going to the Moon and Mars and GW knows it, but it sounds...

Just look at the charts. There has been a consistent tendency for the markets to move up around the Christmas holiday. g

After losing over 50% of my equity over the course of 3 years, I started all over. One thing that helped me was to trade very small size until I could get confidence in my system. This is possible with IB's low commissions. Then the risk was low enough that I wouldn't make stupid emotional...

This works: Wait until there is a pullback...many ways to gauge this; then enter on a limit somewhere between 5% and 10% below yesterday's close. This will give you few hits, so you need to have a lot of symbols to work with, but it really puts the odds in your favor. I say this based on lots...

A couple of years ago I would have scoffed at this idea. Not now. The American public seems woefully ignorant. They just gobble up the garbage they are spoonfed by the media. m

Ninja doesn't look like it would do what I want. I suspect something like TS would, but I think I'd be better off creating my own program...if I could find the time. m

Here's another wish or two: Give us a cheap way to transfer funds (ACH?). The banks all seem to want to charge $ for wire transfers and I'm a cheap SOB. Give us a way to upload a list of symbols to TWS. I know we have the basket and that is nice, but in the basket mode you don't get...

I appreciate the feedback very much. I'll have more to say about the systems later...as I get the time. It may be there are fatal flaws I'm missing. m

It's the right wing haranguers who cannot tolerate dialogue or dissent. And the AM radio show gives them the perfect forum for this one-way spew. They have complete control. You can call in and challenge them as long as your are a complete dolt. Otherwise you don't get past the screeners...
