This is so common with liberals: being nasty, dishonest and unintellectual. Republicans have been willing to compromise, but Obama won't give anything. We are sixteen trillion in debt and Obama is not even taking this issue seriously. Most Democrats actually want to go over the cliff, not the...

it really is lulz that emg is literally the second poster in this thread; he must keep refreshing ET waiting for these posts to come down the pike.

This is the work smarter, not work harder thinking. This is absolutely correct. Life is so short. I can see working hard as you get your own business up and running but slaving away for an ingrate employer, client is worse. Then again, I was once an entrepreneur and had to deal with bad...

That is a terrific book. Even Bono has gotten away from pure aid and that business and growth are key for the third world.

Scottrade elite was my first platform; I got out of that very fast. If you're switching to a new platform, you're best bet is to try a number of them. You can try tradestation, thinkorswim, esignal and ninjatrader/multicharts (to some extent) for free. This of course assumes that you don't care...

Honestly, I respect Tom's integrity that this is a true and valid story for people to hear. You have to remember that he's trying to create a network to reach out to investors. If he can show someone with no options experience can go from doing classes at investools to managing money, it makes...

And they just passed prop 30. Absolute theft. A wonderful state, scenery, with some of the best cities in the country and world--but their politicians and electorate are slitting their throats. The bay area and parts of SoCal are successful despite high taxes not because of them.

I got the rule from friends, but it's all over the internets obviously. We're about the same: the relationship has to at least get past an "ick" factor. The hef relationship is just dumb. But I disagree with urban dictionary. A relationship between a 30 year old and a college student seems...

I'm wondering if any ETer has a recommendation of a good book that covers mean reversion either comprehensively or in part. Most of the books I've read have not covered the topic that well. There's no shortage of books on trend trading or on specific trading strategies, eg DeMark, Cynthia Kase...

I only demoed esignal. The interface from the old one to the new one was night and day, but for a company as large as interactive data, I expected a better platform. It just felt like a basic platform you'd get from Charles Schwab, and it looked like streetsmart edge. Ninjatrader, Multicharts...

a common rule for a guy is half your age plus seven. So a mid 40s woman would be fine for Soros; the girl from the first page is obvious much younger than that. If he dated her, yeah it wouldn't look right. I think he dated another young chick that ended up suing him because he promised him an...

Do you honestly expect an intelligent person would keep writing posts where he sounds like a mentally ill parrot? Maybe he is/was successful--and his general premise on programming, math is right--but he completely undermines his argument with his blabber.

Best comment.

And we have to pay big money for these fools. From what I remember reading, SEC etc employees routinely make six figures.

Going through old threads is interesting. Outside of strategy, you have to search for them. But you can see the same threads repeating over and over, at least whenever I search for a specific topic. Also, fun to see if people back when are still posting now.

The man does have a hot, young wife though.

women are materialist, who knew?

So now we know how the US election turned out. Since we're all on this board due to our desire for money, we might as well talk about what the tax bill will be like in 2013 and forward. So, how about an open prediction thread on what people think the most likely tax compromise will be...

The obvious answer is that the market at the end of Bush was at what 8-9 and then recovered under Obama. Obama was not the reason for the stock market recovery, and anyone who says that is thinking only politically.

This. There is nothing out there that's perfect. From my experience, there is definitely something to DeMark. It's a pattern recognition study, so maybe it's becoming less useful as people know about it and can take advantage of it, sort of like chart patterns. I personally would not pay...
