I am always amused that people classify all real estate as the same. HOMES are basic shelter. It is needed!!! Sure there will be some "panic sellers" because of personal problems, divorce, transfer, loss of job etc. But, people need a place to go home at nite. Commercial real estate is...

With all due respect, you have it backwards. Homebuilders develop land in order for them to assure themselves the absolute one thing they can not live without!! LOTS. All of the items mentioned were land purchases in order to have developed lots at some point in the future. Just like...

All I see here in Houston are 'sold" signs on empty lots waiting for the builder to get the house built. Now, that is in the basic starter market. Here that is generally under about $125,000. Too many people confuse the real estate market with stocks. All common shares of Yahoo are exactly...

A well located, well managed mobile home park has a much higher cash flow than an apartment development of similar size in most major cities in the US. But Wall Street likes the brochure the apartment REIT's have as the pictures are nicer. SteveD

The simple hard cold truth is you cannot trade with $5,000 and make money. You will lose the 5Grand. My opinion has always been: My rules of "daytrading" Must have direct access screen Nothing but equities, anything else is a suckers game. The small trader cannot compete. Moderate...

I have a friend who made over $10,000,000 using CANSLIM, LOL. That is not a misprint!!! SteveD

Jimmy Buffet is actually Warren's cousin. True. Jimmy is one of the most wealthiest entertainers around even though he hasn't had a hit record in decades. Makes like 40-50Million a year on his tours. Controls it all, T-shirt sells, cds, etc. Probably even gets a cut for parking, LOL Steved

EW and Fib have about the same amount of value as the Infield Fly Rule does to actual trading in real time. My favorite guy is Arch Crawford who combines astrology with technical trading. Nice guy, but hopeless No one ever shows a successful trader who use technical tools to trade. Great...

In all environments when there is a barrier to some goal someone comes up with a way around said barrier. When money is tight, the "front fee" guys appear and for a small fee that has to be paid "up front" they will secure you financing for your endeavor. You are, of course, desperate to...

IBD and Daily Charts has, IMO, the most intelligent and basic information that is available. Even the big guys use their groupings and sectors. If you are the least bit interested in fundamentals of the stock market, you need to study and read O'Neill's books Good luck SteveD

You guys do understand that this "offshore" method around PDT is just a scam and they will take your money and disappear. These types of "shortcuts" always pop up when they see a vulnerable victim. SteveD

Characteristics of a Day Trader Loser: Has been paper trading so now knows market Trades anything other than equities Daytrades without direct access screen Uses esoteric technical information such as fibonacci or Infield Fly Rule for basis to make trades Dismiss all commentators...

He is not a trader and he was not speaking to the bozos trading a $5,000 account and trying to scalp 10 cents on a $7 stock. I love the guys on ET who speak large volumes of technical gobbledegook. Sounds like Jimmy Rogers on his great insights in buying China but shorting the Tawain WokBo...

I have seen numerous times someone say "ABC is up today on a news article in the WSJ or XYZ is down from the Barron's comments". As of yet, I have not seen a comment that "ABC is up today" based on brain dead utterances from a message board on Elite Trader. The traders that strive to be...

Over the last several years I have come to believe that trading is 50-60% knowledge and the balance is "art". All of the books, studies, training in the world are not going to help. Most people approach trading as some sort of math/engineering problem that can be solved if only I have the...

Actually, the real estate prices of single family is basically stagnant in most of the country. The areas that are "hot" are the ones that are mentioned on these post. NYC, Vegas, Ca. etc. Springfield MO and other areas like that are about the same as in the '70s adjusted for inflation. The...

I understand what you are saying. The Feds were approaching it from the standpoint not of Martha proclaiming her innocence but Martha, President and majority shareholder of a public company totally intertwined with her as a person. If you ever watch Gates or Dell being interviewed...

Martha made her false statements during an investigation conducted by professional investigators, probably under oath. This is not some bozo cop pulling you over at 1:00 AM. At the time she and they thought she had committed illegal insider trading. They had records of her trades...

A very interesting 25 pages of post. It is absolutely amazing to me how many of you are just mind boggling dumb. Martha THOUGHT she had traded on inside information!!! The Feds were investigating that potential CRIME!!! It is a crime, regardless of what some of the more...

EK opened at 29 on NYSE. At 31 it is "topped out" IMHO. I did not follow it but it closed at 27.46 so must have been some available on ECN between close and open price today.
