    The Problem with Hybrids: Chevy Tahoe - $55k

    What has been posted is true but things are changing and the differences in price have been and will continue to get smaller. Also, resale of hybrids will probably be better. Pretty soon the car companies will be stumbling over themselves to have the best price on hybrids. Of course, the...

    Social Security: How can it ever get exhausted??

    I am making an assumption that you are on ET because you are a trader: do not confuse TRADING with being 'productive'. It makes us money but does nothing to improve society or solve its problems.

    Maximum ES contracts you would trade with $3,800 account

    Both of my brokers, (IB and OptionXpress) require $2,250 per contract DAYTRADING: $4,500 for overnight positions. (Which I never have). What broker allows you to trade more than one ES with $3,800?

    Social Security: How can it ever get exhausted??

    Something will need to be done such as raising the minimum age and, possibly, a means test. The gov't has NOT 'stolen' SS money: they have borrowed it and will pay it back when the need is there. There is plenty of money available by cutting our immoral and unnecessary excessive military...

    I guess those methods will work as much 'prayer' or 'hope'.

    An interesting hypothesis

    There is no need to classify news events as 'good' or 'bad; there is no need to consider 'news' at all. If 'bad' news comes across the wire causing the market to go down and you are Long: you should get stopped out. If you are Short then your stoploss will not get hit until something else...

    CEOs Pushing Ayn Rand Studies Use Money to Overcome Resistance

    The womens lib movement was well past its beginnings in 1957. Any informed person in that time should have seen this. The other things you mentioned are specific events: not wide-sweeping movements. I wouldn't have necessarily expected her to use the phrase 'womens lib' but she should have...

    CEOs Pushing Ayn Rand Studies Use Money to Overcome Resistance

    Interesting post. Ann has already received too much consideration and advancing the idea that her 'pulp' fiction is worthy of academic study is absurd. 'Absolutist Ethics', whether based on religious or secular principles is also absurd because both fail to realize that, aside from a tiny...

    Worst Poster

    Why in the world would somebody waste their time identifying the 'worst poster'? Then, completely out of the blue, attack a person they don't even know and call them a 'fag'? What a loser the OP must be.

    Bulls: She Is Rolling Down Since Yesterday: Why Are You Still In?

    On 4/1 there was an up move of almost 60 pts. The market has gone even higher since and has not closed below the close of 4/1. At this point ((1:50 EST) the closing price is below 4/1 close but barely and we won't know for a couple of hours what the final close will be. We, the 'Bulls', are...

    AHG - Profitable Strategy for Struggling Traders

    I make 2-3 ES trades per day, 1-3 ES option trades per week, 3-4 stock option trades per week and I get everything I need from Interactive Brokers and Sierra Charts. The quotes are free and real-time and the charts are $10 per month. TradeStation and eSignal are definitely stronger charting...

    The Grand Delusion Rally

    Nothing wrong with starting to accumulate ETF's that increase in value when the market goes down. You might suffer some drawdown over the next year but, eventually, the market could prove both of us correct. Rghtly or wrongly, it appears to me that the powers that be are doing everything...

    The Grand Delusion Rally

    I'm not sure that I would call this a 'delusional rally'. It would be very unusal for the market to go down in an election year. If you are short you are fighting the Fed and history. Wait until NEXT year to initiate your short positions.
