    holding winners longer, while keeping losses tight

    You cannot do both. Playing for big winners... will also result in larger losses. Scalping for small profits... one will usually absorb only small losses. The optimal holding time frame depends entirely on: (1) what you trade (2) strategy (3) transaction costs (4) capitalization...

    Why post if you are simply trying to 'stir the pot'?

    I do not believe that you are "too busy with life". Get one... and this thread never happens.

    Jim Rogers sees US real estate crash

    Yes. Study how he thinks outside the box... but ignore his conclusions. You must learn to think for yourself in this way. The idea that one can succeed by getting investment advice from your TV is hopelessly naive.

    George Soros Insider Trading? ARXT

    Of course Soros knew more than the public. Why do people reading boilerplate stories on MarketWatch... Think that they can compete with Soros?

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    Articles like this are informative... But almost all are put out by bloggers who are not lawyers... And are making complex legal analysis and drawing conclusions... Without any professional legal background whatsoever. Most of these bloggers are also biased... and promote one side or the...

    Globus trading

    That is at least the 10th time you have plugged this guy. EXPLAIN. The guy has zero hits on Google... Except for your plugs... And his web site is so uber-ridiculously amateurish... No traffic and does not even work. In general... When one sees this picture... run.

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    Film/Video is just going through the same process the music business has been weathering... But about 3 years behind. There is no turning back. You CANNOT stop Web 2.0... The fight is ONLY about dividing the profits between mega-corporations. And the future is def not Viacom...

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    Viacom is suing to shift existing law in it's favor. Here is what mystifies me about GOOG: (1) Since the YouTube takeover months ago... Almost ZERO changes or improvements have been made to YouTube... While competitors are moving rapidly. (I know cuz I have > 50 clips on YouTube)...

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    To all the guys that have been bearish on GOOG since the $85 IPO: Is there some point... At which you will realize that GOOG is not run by a bunch of pretenders on ET... But by a few hundred of the finest minds in America?

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    Actually, the law is on Google's side. DMCA gives them protection as an "online service provider". MGM vs Grokster protects them... Since they are not offering themselves as a service for piracy... And are doing a good job taking down clips within hours of a complaint. Here is a good...

    Cramer: Illegal Immigrants to Blame for Mortage Crisis

    Jim's viewership is mostly made up of: Illegal immigrants... Mentally challenged people... Spillover from the WWF and Springer. Talk about biting the hand that feeds.

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    It's actually easy to get your clips off YouTube. As someone with about 50 clips on YouTube... I've had all kinds of incidents with copyright issues. Viacom could keep > 95% of their clips off YouTube... Simply by assigning one (1) full-time employee to this. So the lawsuit is a...

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    This is nonsense. Did you get this from your 70 year old librarian? The entire copyright field is undergoing a paradigm shift... People thinking is 60s terms about intellectual property are ** out of touch **. GOOG has built a market cap of 140 billion... Entirely by re-packaging other...

    Why do financial forums attract such a high rate of ego hungry individuals?

    Congratulations. You just posted logical fallacy #25,111 of the day... Unwittingly employing the "exception proves the rule" fallacy... And failed to even address basic point of "community culture"... So your conclusion is highly suspect. Tomorrow... I could come up with a new user...

    Why do financial forums attract such a high rate of ego hungry individuals?

    I think you are completely missing it. You are focusing on individual posters... As opposed to the underlying Community Culture... Which is created and controlled by the owners. All one has to do... Is compare ET Trader Forum... With 2+2 Poker Forums. It's a valid comparison...

    Pairs Trading Strategy Model

    You are going out on a "very long limb here"... Because I make a very good living pairs/basket trading for 14 years... And profits lost through decimalization have been made up through low costs and higher volume... And the changes in the last few months have had little impact on quants...
