What are you talking about? The dollar already lost 95% of its purchasing power since the beginning of the previous century.

Technically an unemployed american cannot be hard working (unless they do some voluntary work, or work the net in search for a job, which I really doubt). And speaking of sympathy, how about some for the employed hard working americans that are going to pay for this. You know, money don't grow...

I've been with this NY software company for some time, and 2 years ago we were trying to hire programmers for some entry level positions. We could not find any. Apparently all of them just wanted to work on Wall Street for a "guaranteed" bonus that my company was not offering. All the candidates...

One more thing. Those Chinese and Japanese and German investors that bought those AAA rated government products entered into a contract, and they have every right to ask questions, that much I agree, but a breach of contract is settled in court, not by adding more regulation, and I thought that...

You, obviously, are not a fan of Milton Friedman, otherwise you would understand that regulation begs for more regulation to the point where a free market cannot function anymore. After all, what does free stand for in a regulated market. Of course people will get hurt sometimes, more than they...

There is something fundamentally wrong in your response. You say regulation should prevent some people using their money in a way that would harm other parties involved in the same investment. But who would assume the risk on the other side of your investment, so you can collect the premium. If...

You beat me on this one. That is where the subsidy is - public sector.

I ran a test for FAS/FAZ for the last year. Assume you use 100000 of your overnight buying power for each FAS and FAZ, and you short both at the beginning of each month, and cover the last day of the month, here is what you get: Month Total Entry Exit Shares Profit...

I was following this thread for some time, and I think it's time I start posting too. Every day I run two automated strategies for FAS and DRN. One entry per day, with a stop loss and exit at the end of the day. I have been trading this for a month now. Here we go: FAS: no trade DRN: 200...

If your strategy trades often - couple of times a day - you really need to include commission and a minimal slippage (at least bid-ask spread), to get a good feel if it's working or not. If you didn't do that, don't set your hopes too high - it looks too good to be true. The %win and w/l ratio...

A lot of people don't know that shifting into neutral will disengage the car. Aside from that, looks like using the breaks won't work, as the ABS will take over, and the engine is still engaged, unlike the normal case, when pressing the breaks will first disengage the engine. Turning ignition...
