Exactly regards f9

The problem with Allan was that he allowed his ego to drive his beliefs instead of his common sense. It didn't matter whether he followed Ayn or a number 9 bus, he is responsible for his considerable share of the current mess. regards f9

'Committed' is just a word and Ayn wrote a story that on many occasions turned in upon it self. If Ayn was committed, I fear that it was more towards a love of her own opinion than to the reality of life itself. She and 'Atlas' became a cult, which meant that it became fashionable to read...

What is your point regards f9

Ayn wrote a book without any commitment to the story. She did not commit to the politics nor did she bear the burden of responsibility of owning a Corporation and writing from experience. She was a writer and the book is merely a story. The fact that more people lay a claim to her...

lots of emotion starting to froth to the surface in this thread regards f9

I am very much afraid that it is the essence of trading. If people were logical rational beings, they would eat when hungry, sleep when tired, relief themselves when required. Because we are all emotional beings, we have a tendency to employ manipulation as our weapon of choice, which is...

I was referring to the lack of regulation, not the lack of Regulators. Self discipline and moral judgment are just two forms of regulation, plus as you kindly mention there are external forms of regulation. regards f9

Lack of regulation has lead the US into the mess that it is only now beginning to acknowledge.... so call it what you want. I have had 'Atlas' on the bookshelf for over thirty years and I have attempted it on various occasions with little success. It is a very very boring story. The...

Now you are entering into the spirit of things ..... the pitch is all lost inside the words. regards f9

See it works. On a more serious note, I imagine that the word DEFLATION could disappear from the news to be replaced by the ROC of INFLATION If/when this happens, you will know that certain people have lost control of the numbers and are now playing with the words regards f9

New Post 01-07-09 08:54 AM INFLATION INFLATION INFLATION that is all we are going to talk about in future. I don't want to hear the word deflation ever again. When prices are rising we will call it INFLATION. When prices are falling we will call it RECEDING INFLATION. Notice how...

Right now 25 supertankers are parked holding almost 50M barrels with 10 more tankers being added to this inert fleet and another 5 tankers to follow. Therefore is the oil price going to rise or fall? I will leave you to figure this one out. regards f9

MM I know you probably will not believe me but 14 net out of 60 gross is dangerous ground. You should be trying to settle your trading into something like 60 gross less 14 = 46 net each day. regards f9

You will have a tough time selling this idea, either because it is not popular or because it doesn't fit. regards f9

Why not forget all this and just buy when the price is rising and short when the price is falling. Keep your stops in context with the price waves. And most importantly. When someone asks you why mangos are going up in price .... just answer 'because they are ... the price is rising and...

Why people wish to compare this mess with the mess starting 1929, I do not know. Why not leave the '29 mes as The Great Depression and call this mess The Great Recession. By doing this, nobody can be disappointed and indeed it allows people to focus on what is important; which is what is...

I imagine that it is impossible to defuse this trend, because people can neither spend nor save sufficiently to alter the course of this trend if it comes. The Admin has/will adopt the role that permits this course of action to occur, since they are determined to print their way out of the...

If the FED together with the new admin manage to navigate the current minefield of deflation, could it be that US will be looking at a contracting inflating economy. I know that this is a contrary situation but it is a brave new world and all things are possible. I imagine that the price...

Agreed. The 'off book' transactions are now being treated as acceptable and the game has broadened and we all need to broaden with it. regards f9
