in the late 70's and early 80's.

Guess I aint got none. :D

I dunno, my crystal ball got broken and the crazy glue I put it together with fogged it up. What I do know though is that things in the market cycle and revert to the mean.

<i>So the close to 75% decline in the nasdaq over the last 2 years wasn't the "real" bear??? </i> No. A real bear market is defined by a lack of volume, volatility and liquidity. It lasts a few years. We have not seen one yet.

I hope that I have not contributed to the "decline" of ET, though I'm sure that some people feel I have. My personnel opinion as to why there are more posts about "Who is the best vendor" is that the reasons are two fold. First, there are probably a number of them coming on here because its...

<i>Are you familiar with his methods? </i> Vaguely. I know Jay and like him a lot though. I can't think of anything bad to say about him, and that is rare. Baby Huey, same deal, I've met him a few times and he seems like a top guy. <i>Do you have a better method for me to consider? If so...

<i>I have to wonder if any available method is producing great results under these market conditions. </i> Yes. There is a method called <b> HARD WORK </b>. I have found it to be the real holy grail. Brandon

About 9 months ago I was talking to a friend who is a very good trader in the commodities market. I was talking to him about various "systems" and whatnot. Ken Roberts and his "Worlds Most Powerful Money making system" came up. We had both bought into it earlier in our careers and lost, but we...

I have heard really good things about www.tomorrowswallstreetjourneltoday.com I hear they call better trades than anyone else. Best of all they have an affiliation with dreamfills.com. I hear they are truely the best in the business. If anyone would like any further info..please see the rest of...

You can probably write some of it off on your taxes over the next few years. <b>also, i forgot to mention that they made on me over 100K in commissions and margin over the course of 2 years... </b> So? Why does that matter at all? You paid them 100K in commissions, they have a 15% profit...

You opened the margin account, you screwed it up and lost money. Etrade was then nice enough to give you an entire year to get your shit in order, and now you want to screw them over for the money that YOU LOST? During this entire year that, after they had to cover your loss, did you contact...

I know that a number of retail Daytrading firms will allow you to trade your IRA, though I personally dont think it should be allowed. Your IRA should be, again this is all IMHO, set aside for more conservative investment strategies. Trading should be a approached as a business, not a...

It seems like a lot of the threads being started are: "Have you heard of such and such, I heard they are excellant" or something along those lines. Many vendors are just starting out (or on their last leg) and have neither knowledge to share or money, so maybe that is the most effective means...

Funster, If you do enough volume you may consider a seat on the exchange to reduce your rate. Otherwise, you could buy an exchange seat at one of the smaller exchanges (Minneapolis, Kansas City, Midam) and that will lower your rate as well I think. I think a seat in Minneapolis is about $25K

Funster,

If you have confidence in your system you won't have a problem putting on a trade. If you don't have confidence in your system you probably need a new one.

Start off with one. Become profitable with it before you move your size up. If your not doing well with one you will do twice as bad with two. Trade your own simple system and trust it. When you start to trade in sizes bigger than one scale in. Always look at the bigger timeframe. Good luck...

If have flipped a coin 40 times and it has come up heads 35 times, what are the odds that its heads the next time? It's 50/50, the next flip isnt dependant on the last, and is should be looked at in the context of all the coin flippings that have occured whether you did it or some-one else did...

Most people don't plan to fail, they just don't plan at all. Good to see that you are taking this seriously enough to write down some rules and stick to them. Congrats on having a nice day too. Brandon

Glad to see you got a good day under your belt today Hitman.
