Reread the OP's post: "None of the systems actually generated more profits than losses over time, even by reversing buy and sell orders against the signal/pattern." So even reversing the trades didn't make money.

All the good money management in the world won't do you any good if you don't have an edge. (At best it will allow you to lose money slowly rather than quickly.) The OP's lament is that he has not been able to find an edge. If and when he does find an edge and has calculated the probability...

I hope articles like this one manage to talk down the price of gold to $850 or thereabouts so I can buy some more.

Obama is adamantly opposed to enforcement of immigration law. He will never appoint an official who will enforce immigration law. His own aunt is an illegal immigrant. He is pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens, knowing that they will overwhelmingly vote for left wing Democrats. Remember...

America was attacked by Japan because America had joined with the European powers in an oil embargo against Japan (an economic death sentence for Japan). This embargo was not without cause -- Japan was engaged in a brutal occupation of China, which the Western powers opposed. But by meddling...

Don't forget that China has nukes too. Do you think we could nuke them without them nuking us back? Don't bet on it.

I wish Obama would just head to the beach and smoke dope all day. Anything but push through more of his legislation.

Any politician who loses can point to kooks and nutcases who didn't vote for him and say, "See, those guys are the reason I lost!" When you lose by the magnitude that Inglis did it's likely that there were a great many sane voters who just didn't like his voting record.

Now we know who the RINOs are. Even scarier than Obama's economic policies are his judicial appointments.

The last President who didn't suck was Eisenhower.

Remember, this is from the same government that in 2007 assured us that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in fine shape.

Anybody with a brain checks the spot price of gold before buying or selling gold, and only trades with dealers who post both buy and sell prices and have a spread for retail quantities (1 oz or so) of no more than about 3%. So I fail to see why the existence of sleazy operators has anything to...

The S&P 500 is still below where it was 5 years ago. Logically it follows that there was at least as much money to make on the short side as on the long side. Of course markets go down much faster than they go up so shorting should be done a smaller percentage of the time, but when it works it...

How to buy votes.

Whites are 65% of the population (and declining every year -- white births are 50% of U.S. births) so white males are 32% of the population. How does that amount to "outnumbering all the rest"?

It had what is for gold, a minor correction. Remember that after gold first hit $1000 it then plummeted during the 2008 crash to $680. All the sensible, sane, non-gold bug types told us that the gold boom was over. Then the gold price marched right up to $1200. I wish to God I had bought...

Actually one country has been very successfully invading the United States for years and it's the only country on Earth that makes territorial claims on parts of the United States -- Mexico. Who needs guns and tanks when you can just cry "Racism!" every time somebody tries to enforce...

Actually at least one such man does walk the Earth -- Ron Paul. Naturally he's hated by his own party. He tells the truth, after all.

I can't stand Obama but I put the blame for him squarely with the Republicans. Big spending, war mongering, Constitution shredding Dubya destroyed any credibility the Republicans may have had, and McCain was his senile clone. No wonder most people voted for the socialist. I voted third party...

Those "rebels" are now the people who make up the Taliban and the Afghan/Pakistan branch of Al Quaeda. Which goes to show the wisdom of Ron Paul's policy of non-interventionism. Whether it was the coup against Mohammad Mosaddegh of Iran in 1953, the support of the "freedom fighters" in...
