    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Brings to mind a question - how do you know that do or do not know? Ten years ago I thought I knew what I needed to know. 5yrs ago I had learned more but still thought I knew what I needed to know. For me it is simply doing what needs to be done - taking the action necessary - the...

    Must be a stock trader and your ignorance in FUTURES is evident - This is not required for futures only trading, as they are marked to market.

    Geithner Bailout Details

    Except for the fact that Clinton (Hillary) and others in the democrat party, have called for a "windfall profits tax"; I think one could make an argument for a taking here, if they were to get their way. Being perhaps a little to cynical - government takeover of business is most certainly...

    Geithner Bailout Details

    If it is a form of bankruptcy why not just let the existing system handle that? I am not convinced the government will let go of the companies once they have them. I think too many people think it is a good idea for the gov to tell the execs how much they can make. I construe socialism...

    Geithner Bailout Details

    "He resisted those who wanted to dictate how banks would spend their rescue money. And he prevailed over top administration aides who wanted to replace bank executives and wipe out shareholders at institutions receiving aid." This really is scary - only a matter of time before we become a...

    How to trade a pool of money?

    If your are trading stocks can't help any - if trading commodities - Just set yourself up as a CPO and keep the number of people below 15 (I think) and money below $400K and file all the necessary exemptions with the NFA and the CFTC (check out both of the sites for the info) and trade as...

    Odds Czar: Simple Biases In the Futures Market: 2009

    Art, When looking at the notes and bonds are you likely to consider the complex for taking a trade or let each symbol stand on its own? I ask obviously for the conflicting scores across the complex. Thanks, Chris

    Characteristics of a Successful Trader

    This is not quite accurate. There are numerous systems and traders out there that are profitable with 40% winning trades. Depends on what your risk reward is. EricP - Thanks for some insight. Folks - some of us actually use the ignore button - but then ya'll mess it up by quoting the one...

    Accountability....Who Is Accountable ?

    How about the individual - how about self-responsibility?? I know probably a stretch - but... I don't recall one story of a bank forcing an individual to take a particularly risky loan. Not a single story of a car loan being forced on anyone. How about the individual thought that I...

    again backfilling problems with IB...

    IB is a BROKER - they are not a data supplier - If you want consistently good data buy it and quite complaining your broker does not supply good past data. And yes I do use IB's data to trade with and chart. I, taking responsibility for my own self, accept their limitations and live with it.

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    Of course, you had nothing to do with the decision to take that particular trade. You are not responsible for the trades that occur in your account (unless they win). Learn to take responsibility for your trades and learn from your mistakes and improve yourself as a trader. But of...

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    Gotta love the skill when you win and hate the bad luck when you lose. Can't have it both ways - you are simply showing your ignorance when it come to trading. Don't really like to see guys blow up but you are simply asking for it. Make 'em pretty.
