Great point. I've long held a theory that it's all about who has the power to pick whose pocket. Like a pecking order of sorts where money is the object to be pecked. That theory answers why congress can give themselves great health insurance while the nation struggles with it, why $87 billion...

From what I understand (that's the caveat) about float analysis, it's the turnover of the amount of shares somewhere numbering the quantity of the float. The presumption is that once the new buyers are are all on board, they become the sellers and in turn sell to the newer buyers until the float...

That sounds strangely like a concept I've noticed for years: there is fact and there is opinion. Opinion may be based on fact, which either the fact itself or fact-based opinion would make it "grounded assessment", or if not based on fact (such as being based on feelings or traditions), such...

It was a fairly decent book on a subject most overlooked. Another good book that compliments the Graifer/Schumaker book is "Trading on Volume" by Donald Cassidy. Made a URL too (pretty cool site you found to do that)! http://tinyurl.com/36mrm

That confirms a lot of what I was saying. That's what I mean. To summarize your words, you spent 8 months being mentored without knowldege being given. The idea that one needs to figure things out on their own because the teacher is not "transferring knowledge" is the opposite of being mentored...

I happened to had corresponded with three traders who were in your recent paltalk group. I solicited them for information rather than joining your group myself, only because you had exhibited a bad attitude toward me here on ET and didn't see why that would change if I joined your group. Your...

I forget where I picked this tidbit up, but typically: By 10:30, 25% of the daily volume has been traded By 11:15, 33% of the daily volume By 12:15, 50% of the daily volume By 1:15, 60% of the daily volume By 2:15, 70% of the daily volume By 3:15, 90% of the daily volume Additionally...

The Panasonic Sonic.

The "deluxe stock screener" at moneycentral.com (you'll have to download it- it's free) can be rigged to do that. For example, here I've set the criteria to display those stocks up 25% or more from their average volume last qtr. Look at how that was rigged and you'll see how you can change that...

I'm just curious if similarly tracking the Wilshire Total Market (TMW) index is more advantageous or not (probably just the same). I can think of pros and cons both ways, but I'm posting this to glean your observation, lindq.

I'm not saying any generation doesn't have members it can point fingers at, but I saw a lot of twenty-somethings being largely responsible. First, many of them were involved in the creation of giant dotcoms that flopped, seeing their stock quadrillionize as they cashed out, essentially creating...

It's funny you make that analogy because I was thinking just the other day while reading one of these 'newbie itchin to trade' kinda posts that at least surgeons practice on cadavers first so they can't do any more damage.

This is a very useful book. Simple to understand, contains the basic essentials, with actual code and examples : http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?o=1&l=as1&f=ifr&t=bridalopia&p=8&asins=0201354632 a good resource site is: www.irt.org (scroll down and see the Javascript FAQs section)

I've gotten great tips on places from this site, judging from their posts these folks are either serious about their food, seriously overweight, or both: http://www.chowhound.com/boards/manhat/manhat.html

If I were one of Hussein's lookalikes (oh thank goodness I'm not): 1. I would've fled Iraq (if I could smuggle out) lest someone shoot me thinking I'm the real McCoy; 2. Hussein would probably have kept me moving but visible as a decoy and not kept me underground in hiding; 3. When...

What a great question. I don't know the legal answer, but I would think that if they have a SS#, they can own the stock, but they can't buy it or sell it, that and all other matters would have to be administered by their legal guardians/parents.

Hey... "hysterical fever pitch of animosity"... Nice hyperbole. My guess is it's cause people come here to dwell on trading and not to deal with what turned out to be an egocentric ridiculousness of splendiforous magnitude. That's my hyperbole! Too bad he couldn't be serious, my next...

And your conjecturing belies mm's post that he's just 'having a little fun' with the ET forum exactly how?

Did some looking through at the mrmarket site out of curiousity. On Dec 1 '03, one of his subscribers named grebnet asked him "why even post on elitetrader?" since he gets "bashed" here. mrmarket's answer: "I'm just having a little fun with them." and his opinion of ET? "I think...

I don't agree. French domination of the world is not inevitable.
