    Obama - Contrarian Indicator

    I've been around here long enough to know that the herd mentality is always wrong. All you people voting for Obama, please post your stock trades; some of us would like to take the opposite side.:D

    Did Obama cut a deal with Clinton?

    I find it extremely interesting that Bill Clinton gave a speech in favor of Obama after the remarks he made about the X and Y types of candidates yesterday. Last night Hillary's speech left the democrats thinking she should have been the democratic candidate instead of Obama. Could it be...

    can someone tell me what can i do with my economics degree

    An econ degree is a great degree but it alone will probably just get you a job as a loan officer in a bank. My suggestion is to continue forward with an MBA and possibly get a doctorate. I have a friend that has an MBA and a doctorate and he is raking in the cash working for a consultant...

    Lowe's and analysts estimates

    Right the opposite here. I went to Lowe's Saturday and it was covered up with people. I had to stand in line to check 2"x6"s. Parking lot at HD, which is a quarter of a mile a way, is almost always empty. Lowes is just easier to shop in. And it is always full of people.

    what are the chances that someone w/ fewer that 100 post is a winning trader

    I think a better gauge would be to see how long they have been here. I've lost count of all the traders who appeared to be great traders but are not around any more.

    McCain Wins By A Landslide !!!!!!!!

    What makes you think Obama will make things better? In fact, he could make things worse. I have listened to some of his speeches and he never says anything. He absolutely has no substance to what he says. It appears to me that those who support him are doing it only for change. With...

    Does it make any sense to 'go in the farm business' 'buy farmland'?

    Can't speak for anyone else, but I own a farm here in NC and it has been going up in value every year. I added acreage in 1990 and paid 1700 per acre. Recently land in this area has been selling from 6,000 to 10,000 per acre. They have built a lot of houses in surrounding areas, but they...

    Diffrences between QT and Ninja

    No question, QT is much better IMO. I tried NT for a short while and readily saw that it was not for me. QT is much easier to use. Good trading to you.

    What's Up With QT

    I have emailed tech support 3 times in the past two weeks and have not gotten a response back from them yet. Anybody know what's going on? Jerry or one of his assistances used to respond in minutes :confused:

    Is Bush really the worst President ever - Economically the answer is YES

    Carter was the worst president, economically. There is no question about it. I haven't seen anything come close to what it was like back then.

    Capital Gains Rate to 28%?

    Absolutely; Huckabee is the only one who makes any sense. I am a registered democrat but have not voted as a democrat for several years. I don't know what has happened, but this new wave of Democrats just does not get it. :confused:

    For crying out loud IB ... please release TWS 876

    I've got the TWS build 877 and it does not display the date on the trade window. It displays the time of executions, but it does not have the date. When I open the layout window, it does not have a date option to be checked. Any suggestions other than writing it in by hand every time...

    Day trading questions

    In looking at your post again, I would suggest laying off stocks like aapl sndk and rimm-- you need to refine your strategy before trading stocks like that-- especially if you're putting on a .25 or 60. stop. Pick some slower moving stocks and cut down on your share size till you develop your...
