You can discuss this 'til you're "blue in the face" regarding the absolute uselessness of this CEO sign-off exercise. People still don't understand what an audit is, how it's conducted and that it doesn't GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE ACCURACY of ANY NUMBER in the financials. As you know the ONLY hard...

Bronks, Someone in this or another thread mentioned a strategy that, When up greater than X dollars/points, especially if it's like 2x or 3x, if you pull back to X, quit for the day. I know it's hard to do, but, you walk away positive for the day and don't have that remorse at the EOD...

You're a riot......

Being cynical has to do with the fact that most of us have had experiences that were less than favorable with brokers. Others enjoy the autonomy and self determination that trading our own accounts provides. If you have had good experiences, congrats..... Most people in the U.S. have NO IDEA...

I believe US Citizens get an expatriate exemption on the first 75K of income while beyond the US borders. Later, Cracked

With those teeth, could she be John Elways' real mother???? :D

Bronks, It a personal thing regarding the use of MA's. I use the 8 SMA for my trading and like the fact it smooths/filters out some of the noise (squigglies) created by the shorter time frames (3 & 5 SMA). Of course the 8 period MA is slower to react due to the longer time frame...

Even though a network card is built-in, you might think about putting a PCI network card in the system depending on who you trade through. I know IB is a bit particular with the java scripting and network cards.

Bronks, The EMA places more weighting on the most current price and less on the earlier price. See this for an explanation: http://www.paritech.co.uk/education/technical/indicators/trend/movavg-1.asp SMA give equal weight to all prices in the period. (a+b+...g+h)/8=SMA Hope this...

Bronks, You banged out 11 pts. Be happy..... :D Everybody has sellers remorse at some point. Don't look back at what could have been negatively, observe and refine your plan with a positive outlook/bias. I agree with pub about the 8EMA trailing stop to stay in and ride the...

Exactly, just another way for the street to fleece the sheep. I like the CEO acronym, CFO = Chief Fraud Officer Later, Cracked

I like the DFW and Austin areas in Texas. The one issue that comes up for Texas is a rather high Property tax rate compared to California. I looked at a homes in Austin in the 150-200K range and the Prop Tax was in the area of 3500-4000/yr. The nice thing about the prop tax is it's a sch...

Why is it that everyday there is a drop on Wal Street it's "Profit taking". Call it what it is..... Selling!!!! If you were in the nasdaq at 4000-5000, how exactly is it profit taking? Smart money has been doing really well lately...... Looked at the returns of mutual funds for the last...

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. With the size of these multi-national, multi-subsidiary companies, there is no way a CEO can be assured that something isn't amiss within an organization of the size they are asking them to certify. Management already signs a representation letter for the...

It's not a joke Chas. Much like the how to invest in the Dow/nasdaq to the moon books which were prevalent in the last few years, the end is near for real estate when these books start to appear, IMO. Wade Cook in another form? Maybe not so snake oil, but, taking advantage of the current...

You dating my girl Gina?????? :D

States which have no income tax usually make up for the deficiency in another area (Property, sales, or other Taxes). You really need to look at the full scope of taxes applicable to a location. I believe a magazine did an article regarding the best places to retire which demonstrated the...

As long as Simms is QB at tu, OU will win. He's choked in every big game he's played in at tu. OU needs to work on the offensive line to protect better than last year and the defense should be on par with last years squad. Can't wait to see the Red River Shootout and three straight...

They bought the consulting arm, don't believe it was the Audit/Tax components.

Your school situation is a good example. If I was selling my property that would be a factor in determining a price even though I don't have children. When I buy a place, if that is a selling point, I shoot it down immediately using the no kids reason. Whatever works to my advantage in the...
