You are right. All of us on these forums have too much that we take for granted. These are times that try men’s souls.

Ford has been much more realistic about their chances of succeeding than GM. I worked several years in Dearborn the early 1990’s. That is when Ford acquired companies I was weary about at the time (that is Land Rover, Jaguar …). Then a colleague explained it to me at lunch one day the...

I live in the Detroit burbs. I see the for sales signs going up every day from this jokers policies. It the worst crisis in 100 years and Obama is telling GM to shed more jobs and down size with unemployment running 15% in some communities. You tell my neighbors who are being thrown out of work...

Obama looks at business as an evil corrupt greedy entity that steals from poor people. He has the mentality of a union organizer that is going to kick businesses ass to get what he wants. In his view business has to pay for its greedy crimes against the people. GM is Obama’s I whupped’um...

You are the media’s mushroom. They keep you in the dark and shovel only the shit that they think you need to hear. Until you think for yourself you will be at their mercy.

I totally agree Patriot. Nam is still fresh in my nostrils. You can double that ‘hate where we are headed.’:mad: :mad:

I disagree. Below is a typical plant closing web notice that most americans have ignored for years. This pain has been going on in my state for decades. People have just been ignoring the reality of the U.S. manufacturing bases demise. ... GM's big shakeup Automaker ups job cuts to...

Rick Wagoner has been through hell and back with GM. This is not the first time there has been a call for his head. This has been going on for years. The reason GM kept him is he did an exceptional job in all of the markets, except North America. They are profitable every where else because they...

My point is we no longer have a free market economy. We now have a political economy. In this political economy Obama’s buddies will benefit from his actions. Businesses large and small, who are not Obama’s buddies, are going to suffer at his hands because he has a socialist mandate to take...

Every one blames GM Management. But you don’t hear King Obama crying for the heads of the UAW. I saw those lazy UAW workers sit on there bums for years and demand higher and higher pay. I was in those plants and saw it first hand. I had a masters degree and a UAW electrician was paid 50%...

I agree with you completely. Wagoner was an excellent leader. Its King Obama I'm worried about.

I retired years ago. All the draw downs since then have been in line except one. My trading automation still keeps humming through this market some call hell. Is it really good automation? Who cares. It pays the bills.

Before I retired to trade full time I managed Database Administration (DB2, Oracle and SQL Server). In several shops earlier in my career I did all of the ACF2 security and native SQL security for DB2 databases.:cool:

Very wise advice WyckoffTrader… We all agree poor money management is a killer, building curve fitted solutions is probable and using bad sample testing methods produce poor performing automated solutions. These are the most common causes of new strategies failing in live trading. But there...

Since I was in my 20s, about 40 years ago, I have had a small trading account. This account grew from studying cycle mathematics in grad school and calculating cycles manually. My trading grew in fits and spurts over the years and is now about 36 times what I started with. This includes going...

Your system could blow up for any number of reasons. Some of which are: - Most systems have just as much of chance going into a drawdown as a wining streak to begin with. - The time period of 3 days is irrelevant. More time may be needed to get a significant amount of data to draw conclusions...

When a new trader asks me for advice about how you should move forward I’m almost invariably going to ask you three questions: 1) Have you figured out what is the best timeframe for you to trade? 2) Have you picked the market that best suits you? 3) Are you prepared to take on years of...

You’re an excellent businessman and trader Redneck. Many of us have similar stories. In my case it was both hard drives on my new Dell PC blew out about 6 months apart (this was 4 years ago). My system backups restored the configuration and the backup PC saved the trades both times. The...

We are on the exact same page. These are questions I have asked for years.

Thanks. I just sold out of them at a small profit.:)
