I respect your skepticism and your honesty. Good trading to you :cool:

Perhaps it is possible that some quality members of this board find Dr. Faber an interesting subject to discuss versus the daily "Top Call" threads or "Trading is for losers" thread etc etc etc. All I am saying is that have we all posted in other threads together in the past? Do we have...

You should be thinking in terms of transaction costs as a % of expected payoff of the trade. If you are looking to buy $200,000 worth of stock and you need to pay $100 round trip, that may not be a huge problem for you depending on what your strategy is. If you are a swing trader or position...

It all depends on what you are doing, when you are doing it, and what your expectations are. Can you get VWAP for the day on a 5% of daily volume block? I would say undoubtedly yes if you have a decent broker or if you want to spend the day working the stock. If you decide to sell 5% of the...

Of course we are not the same person. I'm not sure how you could reach that conclusion logically. Too much noise and too little signal here for me to post a lot, plus I don't have a huge amount of time to be here. I mostly lurk as you can tell. I've seen a lot of people with 1000's of...

There are few people I actually listen to or track at all in any media format as it relates to trading as 99% of it is noise or even worse manipulation, but Faber and Rogers are two people I listen very closely to for macro themes. I don't agree with everything they say but their way of thinking...

If you are more than 5% of daily trading volume on an instrument, then you are going to have problems if you need to move quickly outside of morning or right near close, and even then you could get hurt. Also for the love of trading break up your order into smaller lots unless someone is on...

+25% in aggregate YTD, everything was rocking until late spring and then went to a slog. Summer markets suck.

While this may be another trolling thread like the "Trading is not a Business you will all fail" thread, I at least appreciate the approach of this thread. That said, I think the most important thing to understand in this endeavor is that unlike almost any other pursuit in life, no one who...

I submit to the OP that it is impossible that he/she would give me all of their net worth (assuming there is anything there to begin with) in return for nothing. I dare you to prove me otherwise. Your trolling post is just as ridiculous as mine and frankly quite similar in pathology.

Gentlemen, Skynet is upon us!

What happens when I want to turn left/right at the intersection and this giant hulking thing decides it is going straight? In Japan they have a saying, that roughly translates to "The nail that sticks out from the board gets hammered". In China I think the saying is going to roughly...

While I'm not a native born Californian (although I do live here), and thus I don't harbor the same feelings regarding immigration etc as many who have been here longer, I do have a rather clever solution to our problems. Let's make all of the illegal aliens citizens, and make the legal...

Be careful about assumptions based on a few months of results tuned to two instruments. This type of trading is very, very rarely the path to longevity. I like futures but not because of the leverage and not as individual instruments. I like them for diversification. Best of luck at any...

I was going to say this earlier, as I thought this was would display a high level of trading wisdom, but alas I chose to step back and think about this topic in greater detail. After some deep thought I would say one major key is simply: Money. I know I thought when people talked about...

Sadly it keeps better time, and it is more durable, as a copy of the classic Swiss brand. Then again there is indeed something special about a Swiss kinetic that the Japanese have not been able to copy or improve upon..

Of course there have been many volumes written (i.e. market wizards series) that really go to the heart of this whole conversation: What makes a winner? None have answered this question to my satisfaction. My thoughts are if you are a socio-path, you are half way to being in that 5%. If you...

So if you are purely discretionary, life is a b#*@h and then you may blow out. I'm not saying this is a certainty, but I am saying you are in rarefied air if you last more than a few years without doing something along the lines of what I am about to recommend. This is why you are losing...

What you need is confidence. This can come from either understanding a fundamental truth, or having blind faith. This of course relates to strategic (R&D) thinking, you still need tactics (execution, money management, risk control, discipline, etc). I submit to you that in the end you need...

This may be of some use, click on the Interactive Charts button: http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/ It has a similar Java Chart applet as compared with Prophet.net. I don't believe it has the real-time streaming capabilities though...
