These charges about GS doing this are nothing new? They have been floating around the news wires for months. This is not about GS doing wrong. It is how BO and his Chicago gang of thugs take on anyone who stands in their way to pass the legislation they demand. This is all pre-staged so BO and...

I hope you got out of GOOG today or at least still in the black? It is down about $29.10 in after hours.

I think Jesse Livermore said it nicely in his book “ How to trade stocks” on page 19 an 20 when he said “Never sell a stock because it seems high-priced. You may watch the stock go from 10 to 50 and decide its selling at too high a level. That is the time to determine what is to prevent it...

I agree with S2007S, this is old news. These are the homes that Obama bailed out several months back with his 80 billion dollar “save the homes package”. Most of these people could not meet their new mortgages and are in foreclosure again. This was expected to happen. Banks are finally...

No it is not relevant.

Gubinec, I worked in finance and banking for the last 20 years of my career before I retired to trade. People who worked in that industry have been terrified for years of what could and did happen. Several I talked to in recent years said we would now be in a depression if these bailouts had...

Shortie and S2007S thanks so much for your comments. The 1 or 2 year time range or the intermediate term is in line with my planning going forward. During the past 20 years of my discretionary (30%) and automated (70%) swing and position trading I have learned to evaluate the markets and my...

All right I can begin to see where you are going with this. I took the question differently as ‘Do you see us going gung ho bullish and straight up to 1500’ or “Do you see the bear returning and were going straight down to 1000.’ This is what ‘hit’ 1500 or 1000 implied to me...

I misinterpreted what your poll was about and did not interpret it liberally. I only considered 1500 and 1000. I thought yes meant we would go 1500 before 1000 and no meant we will go to 1000 before 1500. I saw only two choices. I did not read into a “no” selection that sideways was implied.

Garchbrooks, when the last physical stock and bond certificates are turn in to brokers and everyone accepts electronic signatures, maybe then we will get rid of this process. However, there are still millions of people who do not trust the system and will not buy stocks unless they are provided...

It’s the process of transferring ownership of the stock between the buyer and the seller. The basics are explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock

Whenever the government is involved with the economy I always include sideways. I did not see that option? We may go to 1300 back to 1000 and then bounce around between these two numbers for years.

I was a financial DBA manager before I retired and I saw a lot of these processes work each day. The answer to your question centers on the original stock hand processing methods and bank cash transfers. When they automated these processes on Wall Street they kept the same methods to appease the...

Oh I see and then the world ends as the Mayan’s Calendar says its will in December 2012.

These articles like these summarize what has happened between more dollars and rising stock prices: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rj-eskow/the-trillion-dollar-shado_b_518019.html “…. But Sen. Dodd is still fighting efforts to have a full-scale audit of the Fed's other major bailout...

In recent years the SEC and CFTC have come under repeated attacks for not prosecuting or shutting down fraudulent trading and investor web sites or excessive spam on a timely basis. For example with spam the SEC did this for “Operation Spamalot” to stop pump and dump spam ...

California may be the next Greece.

Nod many on ET don’t understand that these funny little sayings you and I use play a crucial role in using our trading methods as part of ‘What’s my Trading System?”. These techniques are cross training our brains to use our trading systems effectively. You are using some excellent...

Nod thank you so much for sharing these threads with us. By the way I love your ...second mouse gets the cheese.... so I added to my collection on the wall which is: Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. If everything in trading seems to be going well, you have...

You put a gem in your post that many traders have missed. I have used the same meta-system approach as yours in designing automated systems for the last 12 years trading stocks. Average traders today are consumed with finding entry and exit signals that work in discretionary setups. Once...
