    Trading System "Steady II": The Success Story Continues..

    The good part is India's growth is internally generated and unlike China it is not dependent on foreign manufacturers etc. to bring business. On the other hand items like population, environmental etc. India is a mess.

    India's Economy

    "people are tiered of waiting for their turn to get some procedure done and they are turning to Indian doctors to get the medical procedures done at a much cheaper rate and much better qualified docs with American standard medical facilities at a cost which is 1/3 - 1/4" I know of a guy who...

    How long will the markets ignore oil?

    Also by 2030, 30% of US oil will be based on Ethenol coming from bio sources like corn, tree bark etc. So if some tech breakthrough comes along that speeds up the Ethenol process and makes it more cheap, then gasoline will become nonplayer in the markets.

    Serious Question on Napoleon Hill Theory of Sex Transmutation

    You missed the main message, for any job be fresh and energetic, i.e. keep matters balanced and in tune. Also you got to have fun at work to want to get ahead and successful in it, with low energy levels, even fun becomes a uphill task. I do not want to discuss or argue on nitty gritty points.

    Serious Question on Napoleon Hill Theory of Sex Transmutation

    "is no correlation between s.e.x. and trading.. N.O.N.E. Investing" I would disagree, trading requires lots of 'mental energy' and if you are worn out because you are having little energy left then your trading will suffer. After sex not only body but mind also goes into slower response...

    Serious Question on Napoleon Hill Theory of Sex Transmutation

    Don't get me wrong, it is medically proven that keeping the water recycled is healthy, i.e. males should throw out the semen in the body on weekly basis, either by sex or other means ;-). Do not know about women though. Infact body cleansing is very important as once a year special diets...

    This thread brings another question: How easy or difficult is it to get rid of 1000 contracts on the bigger S&P500 contract or 5000 contracts on the e-minis.

    Anyone here average a million a day?

    Million a day is possible mostly in Forex markets. Other than that may be in heavily traded stocks like MSFT, INTC, CSCO etc. Even then you need to take six figure positions.

    How would the Markets react to an Israeli strike on Iran?

    The only logic for attack on Iran is that now AlQueda is pretty much broken and crushed, if not finished, so US might want to get rid of mullahs in Iran also if mere bombing campaigns on nuke labs can do so. I doubt that however, such attacks only weaken the general population and strengthen...

    How would the Markets react to an Israeli strike on Iran?

    The attack on Iranian nuke facillities is not happening anytime soon because Iranians are much far from accomplishing the bomb and let alone reduce it to a size where they can load it up on missile or plane for delivery. All the threat talk by Iranians is brinkman type political play to drum up...

    OIL & GAS trader: How high prices will go after Iran get sanctioned

    "They are playing the predictable political cat and mouse game until they have the bomb." Why not pay $10Billion to Cash Starved Pakistanis or Totally Starved North Koreans and buy half dozen nukes that would fit their missiles and that would be the end of the story. You have brought up...

    OIL & GAS trader: How high prices will go after Iran get sanctioned

    Iran bothers Israel more than it does US or Europe. US should let Israelis fly their attack squadrons into Iraqi airstrips (secretly) and from there they can plan a quick and crippling attack on the chosen sites and fly back to either Iraq bases or to Israel. The current state of world affairs...

    OIL & GAS trader: How high prices will go after Iran get sanctioned

    Iranians are going to play the 'costly and foolish' stubborn brinkmanship just like Saddam did in 90s and in turn cause suffering and stress on its people. They will certainly try to scuttle the oil supplies in the region and that will raise the oil prices by quite a bit. Any good mpg...
