    OTBB stock trading

    what do you mean "good"? pink sheets are complete baloney, mostly shell companies, otcbb can be traded at any brokerage I have ever heard of. Most otcbb's are baloney also except for very rare exceptions. Go to the dog track instead.

    Something Fishy With This Market?

    I may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean that they aren't really after me. As for the "PPT", well there isn't one of those, but there is the Fed Working Group on Capital Markets. It is real, and was signed into law by Reagan after the 1987 crash. As for the theory of mutual funds...

    Free spirits

    as a free spirit, I have found that the best thing is to take my trading winnings and hire blond 18 yr old virgins to smear me with peanut butter as an offering to the gods. :)

    Why Do Most Traders Lose MOney?

    yes you really can't leave out market conditions. If the market conditions change suddenly then you can lose money even if you are disciplined. But, the truly disciplined will never get wiped out and therefore they will live long enough to adapt.

    Help: My Offer from a Prop Firm

    that sounds like the best deal I have ever heard of for a new trader. If you are a kid fresh out of school living at home you can't get better than that. That is a no lose deal. The only downside is that if you do make it, you will want a higher payout and you will probably be bound by a...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God II

    all morality and ideas about inalienable rights are derived from religious teachings. Morality makes no sense at all if you believe that you are just an animal. Lions and tigers don't have morality they just eat what they can and defend their offspring and that's it. If that is your idea of...

    Using P/E to determine shorting opportunities

    Everybody looks at P/E's to begin with because that is what everybody tells you to do. Even if you are a long term value investor, just looking at the P/E is foolish. Many stocks have single digit p/e's just before they declare bankruptcy. It is very common for the best performing stocks in a...

    The Daytrader Stigma

    As far as the failure rate goes, it is 50% per year, ever year on average. During the bull it was less, during the past two years I am sure it was more. The 90% rate of failure is only after 3 years straight of doing nothing but trading. If you can survive 5 or more years then there is a good...

    sector index moves without stocks?

    that is just your perception. If every stock in the Dow 30 closed up exactly 1 point, that would be a huge up day for the index.

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God II

    I am not trying to convert you. My point is that there is evidence that Jesus existed as a human being, if you choose to ignore it, its ok. Lets just say for the sake of argument that you could prove that jesus didn't exist, do you really think that would matter? Of course not. Most people don't...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God II

    daniel, you can't disprove the existence of Jesus and I doubt you even read my link. Even the Moslems believe that Jesus existed and they have no selfish motives to do so. There is also real archaelogical proof of records kept by the Romans and by the Jews of that time. And yes, trying to...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God II

    here are the bamboozles --jesus never existed. --humans are no better than animals --humans are not naturally spiritual --science can answer every question --all of our current scientific knowlege is true --catholic priests are likely to be child molestors --atheists treat people...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God II

    Here is the straight dope on Jesus from a non-religious source: http://www.sonic.net/sentinel/naij3.html Jesus was a real human being, there is no doubt about it. The doubt is in relation to his divinity and all you can do is disagree with that, which is of course pointless.

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    All atheists are hypocrites. If you absolutely believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no God, then you have a totally unprovable belief system. Nobobdy can ever know if there is a God or not using pure logic. Many have tried over the ages and it has all been a waste of time. This...
