After a strong trend has formed, it will tell you a strong trend has formed. GENIUS!

By dividing your account into 10ths for each position, and assuming that you are holding a "full load," every one of your 10 positions would have to gap down 50% in order for your entire account to lose 50% in one day. What event would cause 10 positions of liquid stocks to gap down 50% all...

better yet, what the hell are the tickers for them? (preferably for qcharts)

hey candle, just out of curiousity, what high interest accounts are you referring to???

Aren't single stock futures illiquid? Don't they only exist for a few stocks? Sorry, I'll check the link.

Ok, maybe it would be smarter to stop trading at the maintence margin %, or a little before it, rather than 50% as to avoid margin calls.

Not really trying to get people to dissaude me. I just want a better understanding of it. The reason the issue came up is that my mother actually agreed to do the deal I posted originally (except it was 8k). I got to thinking that using margin is essentially the same thing, only I would have...

My 10K scenario was an analogy for margin. There's no actual person. Using 2/1 margin and stopping at 50% loss is the equivalent of that deal...or so I'm thinking. Where am I wrong?

So how much randomness is in your avg. stock's data? I'm a math retard and am not capable of applying these way algorithms you speak of.

And the conclusion is???

What percentage of the population would even recognize Michael Dell? Probably less than 5% I'd say. You've all heard of those surveys saying that most cannot find known countries on maps. I'd say that general ignorance would translate into relative anonymity for people like Dell.

And that's as far as Candle's influence on your preschooler should go!

Ya, I read the book. Completely changed my view on money and possessions. However, I think the author exaggerated how easy it is to start and run a successful business. His constant references to his own products, such as his board games etc., made me suspicious of his motives.

What's the secret, and what's downright scary?

Brilliant website...if it's a satire.

Does one really have to be that good to where you have investors beating down your door? I think it's not so much that you're a market wizard, but that your simply better than most money managers. In other words, your performance is relative to other managers, even if it's supposed to be an...
