I would add several observations: 1. Rule dates from NYSE only days. Specialist controlled pricing. Trading started at 9:30 and closed at 4:00 2. As pointed out, there is basically 8am to 7pm trading. 3. Nasdaq market makers and ECNs move price all over the place. No...

Guys: General Motors GM gave you four 4 points last week!!!!! Two to the short side and then 2 on the long side. Get your head out of your ass and pay attention to the market. DHI, AAPL, MW and several others had more than 1 point moves during the day. Quit back testing silly technical...

The grass is always greener till some government defaults on their debt, LOL Don't think it can't happen, it has and does more often than one can imagine!! SteveD

You people make this stuff too difficult!!! If the inflow is greater than the outflow into mutual funds that is a very bullish signal, DUH. This info is fairly public The mutual fund HAS to put the money to work, DUH!!! How do they put the money to work, boys and girls. They buy big...

It is a very good indicator. Maria B used to talk about it all the time on CNBC. A lot of mutual fund investing is done automatically through deductions from payroll etc. She would talk about inflows vs. outflows. SteveD

New Orleans has several major problems. The largest private employer is Tulane University. think about that for a minute. There is very little "white collar" business there. A lot of oil industry moved to Houston. The Gulf rig servicing has moved to Lafayette and Morgan City. A lot of...

If you have margin that gives you 40K buying power. Keep moves within a 5 day period. Don't hold through weekend. Look at calendar or IBD for two stocks under $20 that should move at least $1. Once in, if they don't move, sell them and go to next pick. Schwab commission only $10. Use...

Yes, a lot of these niche jobs have been around for years. But everyone seems to think that no new ones are being created. The great strength of the US has always been the adaptable, economy. Good God, the mere fact of posting on this web site did not exist 10 years ago!!! While you guys...

First of all, I am in commercial real estate and no one is going to "outsource" that type of business. You would be surprised how many people have been buying 1 or 2 rental properties a year for the last 25 years!!! You guys act like real estate just popped up as an investment. It is very...

Ah, statistics and objective research. That is like the guys that trade on technical analysis only. They can never understand why they don't make money. There is an enormous!!! amount of money changing hands in an "underground" economy. Not illegal, just unconventional, unregulated...

But guys, you make the erroneous assumption that everyone stays static. That is not human nature. If this stream is "fished out" one then moves to another stream with more fish. It would be interesting to see statistics on how many people 20 years after college graduation are still in the...

Ah, but see, Michael Dell is the average guy. Go through the Nadaq 100 companies. Almost all started by "average" guys. Yes, a lot fail, but that "failure" is so much better in the US than any other place in the world. In most of the world a person can "only" dream. No chance of ever...

The US has the best infrastructure in the world. For someone to say other wise is just plain silly and extraordinarily naive. I was in France in early 80's. You had to go to Post Office to make long distance call!!!!! You people do not understand how big and rich this country is. The...

Very well said. Thoughts for the mind: Migrate, mutate, adapt or die If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten. And my favorite: If you stand on the tracks, ignoring the facts, don't blame the wreck on the train. SteveD

I have no earthly idea what that statement means??? Please explain with facts, not opinions. SteveD

The strength of this country is the ability for anyone to start up an enterprise of his own. If you have a perfect SAT score but decide you want to play professional baseball, you can go try to do it. In China, a kid with a perfect SAT score is going where the Gov. tells him to go. Look...

Anything other than equities for a new comer is simply gambling. You would have more fun in Vegas, You will lose your money. SteveD

All of these guys are just scam artist. Better story in WSJ. Moving money around and executing phony deals with the likes of "Charles Financial", LOL. I very seldom trust anyone who is the president of his own company. See it all the time on TV. Charles B. Smith, President of the...

After "quite" period of 30 days, BD can and will issue research reports. 99.9% of the time those reports are very bullish giving the stock a nice little "Pop". This time the reports were negative, LOL. Just to keep everybody honest. I don't remember ever seeing that before. SteveD

As I understand it, the IBankers had UP TO 30 days to exercise. Is there information available exactly when they did the purchase? How do you know they didn't purchase a week after the IPO and get out at $120? How do you know if they own any more stock than necessary to make a market...
