    How do you advise your family and friends?

    I don't answer or advise on "what is the market going to do." or "where is a good place to put my money these days ?" or "what are you buying these days?" types of questions. I reply that I am a very short term trader and I don't care if the market is going up or down. I only care only that it...

    US going to hell in a hand basket?

    A quote from the SBA annual report for 2001 the latest I could find. Small biz does it when comes to job growth. "Small firms represent about 99 percent of employers, employ about half of the private sector workforce, and are responsible for about two-thirds of the net new jobs. While...

    Jimmy Rogers BLASTS Greenspan.

    I agree with Banjo , I recently returned from China and was amazed at what they call "marketing socialism" that we know as capitalism. This is not the China of even 10 years ago. Shanghai was amazing, the most modern city I ever saw and the bit about construction cranes seems true, and they...

    Jimmy Rogers BLASTS Greenspan.

    IMO, Greenspan got way too much credit for the boom and now likely is getting or will get too much criticism for the slowdown. Remember, he played a large part in setting up the Oct 87 meltdown. Last I saw Rogers, he was on CNBC warning about the coming reignition of inflation and that was...

    US going to hell in a hand basket?

    Reading the for/against supply side/trickle down theories reminds me of the second law of economics: For every economist who holds an opinion, there exists a second economist with an equal, but opposite opinion, and they are both wrong. DS

    POLL: What do you do with your excess daytrading profits?

    I'm reminded of a story told to me by a contractor from New York State who was building a "fire house" for a wealthy client. This individual aquired a fire engine at an auction and obviously needed a fire house to put it in. It was for his grandchildren to play in. At the entrance to his...

    Are you for or against Total Gun Abolition ?

    I'm not sure what you are saying. Automatic weapons are illegal (1994 assault Weapons Ban), and I agree that they should be. I think you are implying we throw out old "stuff" in the Constitution. Are you also advocating we throw out the abolition of slavery, the women's right to vote, the...

    Are you for or against Total Gun Abolition ?

    I surprised no one mentioned hunting with guns, it seems everyone (against guns) thinks guns have no legitimate uses. Hunting and sport shooting fall into that category. How do you justify taking away guns from these people? Also are there any studies that have been subject to stringent...

    Reporting results to family/partner

    My wife by her own admission has no clue what I do or how I trade. She has at least grasped the concept that it is possible to make money when the market/stock price goes down. I usually tell her about either big winning days and big losing days. Otherwise as long as I keep paying the bills...

    I trade 64 stocks and am looking at others as possible candidates. I use Tradestation so the signals come automatically. I make about a dozen trades a day. Most of these stocks are fairly low volume and I use 60 minute charts for most so except for the shocks (good/bad earnings report...

    A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!"...

    music/software downloading sites (ex: napster, kazaa, etc..)

    Agree the Lite version works very well. Make sure you have up to date virus scanning and a utility to weed out spyware too. I have dl'd many files from Kazaa and only had one with a virus and I should have seen it coming. DS
