GUN CONTROL: The theory that a woman lying dead in an alley is morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got shot.

I received this via email. Good points. ------ For too long we have been complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that (1) Congress members could retire with the same pay after only one term; (2) that they didn't pay into Social Security; and (3) that they...

The people who lose their jobs believe that you are on the wrong side. You don't care if autoworkers lose their jobs, or waiters lose their jobs or the ballet teachers lose their jobs. You don't care who suffers as long as you get what you want. A little humanity, please. Regarding tuition...

I've called, written, faxed and e-mailed my representatives in congress. Is there anything else I can do to help kill this FTT proposal?

Things that you call "luxury" and "waste" create good jobs. I don't need to buy new cars as often I do, but what if people like me started buying cheap cars and keeping them for ten years? Thousands of people would lose their jobs building cars. I don't need to take my family out to dinner as...

In California I am paying 50% in taxes: 36% Federal Income Taxes (going up next year) 10.3% State Income Taxes 9% Sales Taxes 1.25% Property taxes on the total value of my home every year Highest gasoline taxes in the country etc. etc. I know that some of these taxes are deductible...

QWERTY is the funniest guy on this forum. He can't possibly be as stupid as he pretends to be.

I don't know your trading style, but here's a basic rule of thumb for me: When I look at my stats, I'm taking 3-4 trades with the trend for every counter-trend trade. What I always focus on is the "big picture." That's what I'm REALLY trading. Current price action is for picking a spot to get...

PA, Have you noticed that ED and QWERTY have exectly the same writing style? Same run-on sentences strung together with commas, same capitalization mistakes, etc. It's obvious that QWERTY is his own shill named ED. It's been obvious from the beginning, but it's fun and amusing watching...

Real money or simulation account?

This has nothing to do with the law and I never said it did. This is simply a matter of students properly vetting their propsective mentors before they ripped off.

Name three mentors who have the ability to trade for a living year in and year out. Really, I'm serious, because I know several people who have been burned by so-called mentors in the past and are looking for the real-deal mentors. They're ready to sign up today. I don't have time to help these...

First, and I repeat, I NEVER said mentors shouldn't get paid. Only unqualified mentors shoudn't get paid. Second, I've been trading for a living for over 17 years and I'm just trying to save beginners the pain and heartache of getting ripped off by phony mentors-for-hire. This industry is...

It does not require legislation, only that beginning traders wanting a mentor demand proof that the mentor really has a profitable trading track record BEFORE they hand over any money. That will put the frauds and scammers out of business. Until then, the charlatans will prey on weak and...

I NEVER said a mentor or teacher shouldn't charge for his time. It's perfectly appropriate to pay a teacher. I pay my flight instructor, I pay my golf coach, I pay my daughter's ballet teacher. I'm happy to do so. But I didn't agree to pay them until I knew they were accomplished in their...

I basically agree with you, but I would make one modification: If you do it ONLY for the money, it will be a strain or a struggle. Money definitely matters. I have a wife and two kids to support. But I do love trading. I still love the challenge.

This is the REAL unemployment story. Numbers like these are much more telling than unemployment rates. The large cities here in California have 14 people looking for jobs for every available open position. A friend of my wife works in HR for a large company that recently advertised a mid-level...

Seventeen years of Freedom.

First, Tiger Wood's father was anything but lowly. He was a highly-decorated special operations soldier who rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel and went on to be an instructor of Military Science and Tactics at two universities. Second, Tiger's father admitted early on that there was a limit to what...
