    Starting from scratch

    whilst I enjoy reading his posts prior to contemplating zen koans, i have heard the Hershey guy was sprung from his nicely padded, sparkling white room by someone he had convinced through his circumlocuitious reconstitutued feces that he could make them millions. not sure if it happened, but to...

    Swift Trade vs. Brite Trading convince me which is best...

    what you are saying is contradictory. if someone is a profitable trader, then they most likely already have their own money and if not enough, the profits they would be making would more than make up for the relatively miniscule vig they would have to pay for whatever leverage they would be...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    As a general rule, the avg. volume is about the same on both ends. The last half hour almost always trades much more than the 15:00-15:30 half hour whilst the 10-10:30 can trade with the volume of the 9:30-10 period, moreso on the days that reports come out at 10.

    Obama tells Africa to stop blaming the white man for their problems

    As from Ang_99's video, he may be suffering from an overdeveloped amygdala (the part of the limbic system responsible for aggression and fear). It must make it difficult to trade, "it's losing money, close the position!!" aggression kicks back in, "f..k you market!!" reopens position...

    Obama tells Africa to stop blaming the white man for their problems

    may have been a mistake on his part but if not, besides having African blood, it is a common technique used in GOOD speeches. by identifying with the audience, the audience in turn more strongly identifies with and is more interested in the speaker. kind of like the antithesis of ross perot's...

    Whats the best way to hedge against multiple positions?

    you are pretty well hedged, especially since you have a good chunk of your flow on DXD. if you want to be moreso, you may also look to short a weak stock in the same industry as one of your longs, i.e. one that you deem markedly weaker than your long so in the case of a bull market, your...

    You make the call! How many dead and injured this month by The Religion of Peace?

    How 'bout some stats? Have you been to Malaysia or Jordan? Less violent crime than here. Maybe true that right now, there is not a major problem in a Christian nation but in the 90's, Rwanda had a sizeable genocide and they are over 90% Christian.

    You make the call! How many dead and injured this month by The Religion of Peace?

    Just a bit of history depicting how well Christians have equally massacred each other; for subtle religious differences like condom use, the thirty years war annihilated, in terms of relative world population, the equivalent of 70 million people, or over 19,000 per month. I am thinking most of...

    Series 7 review books

    I used the Pass Perfect books and cd-rom and did better on the actual test than any of the dozen practice tests. I followed the book's study recommendations and with that, DEFINITELY had overstudied. Truly, not difficult but unless you have an undergrad degree in a finance related field and...

    Depiction of the Christian struggle

    Nice OP viddie, but it does seem a stretch to assume that just because someone wants a beer on an odd night, it is necessary to seek spiritual counseling. I am not promoting alcoholism as a means to the soul's salvation but you may recall that the Eucharist has traditionally included alcoholic...

    Obama's Ethics Problem Not Going Away

    believe me, i give thanks every day that the village idiot is no longer prez. Obama knew what was in store for him and that is why he feels as if he has to do what he is doing but if you closed minded whiners complain about, "why is he treating foreign prime ministers and kings with...

    Obama's Ethics Problem Not Going Away

    considering that records show tenfold rises in the year after 9/11 in detentions in some parts of the states of certain groups-- Yemenis, Tunisians, Jordanians and Israelis(the latter two being mostly Palestinians), it makes sense that Osama's family may have been detained for a question or two...

    Pairs trading

    Corey, thanks for the beta explanation, i had interpreted what you said to mean that almost all stocks went up and stayed over 1. as i said, your posts are usually well thought out so i should have known better. last fall, whilst i would usually check the changeable fundamentals...

    Pairs trading

    i apologize for the slight but c'mon, people on here use expletives far worse than a euphemism for "talking shit." try not to be so sensitive:) what "market neutral funds" are you referring to? surely not hedge funds which are rarely if ever even close to neutral and are usually in so many...
