Hmm. They don't seem to mind wealth when it ends up in their hands. Church of England doesn't oppose wealth but does oppose short-selling! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7635881.stm

Channels are a fairly crude approach to measuring the market, but I accept that they work some of the time. Channels are not unique to SCT though. Can you share in plain english any of the secrets of the cult of SCT that you have found useful? I'm struggling to see what Jack has contributed...

Cash in on the property boom. Sell Alaska back to Russia.

Doesn't sound like SCT to me. Are you "always in" open to close?

Took me a while to figure out what you meant. To me the meaning is clear, but strictly speaking the comma should be a full stop. :D

It's your choice to pay 12 cent spread. You could switch to another firm and get a 6 cent spread or better.

Since they can't fix the problem, they may as well burn some witches. Nobody likes witches. Nothing new here. Just be thankful they only want to put you out of business.

Wall St execs: Guilty Main St borrowers beyond their means: Guilty Democrats: Guilty Republicans: Guilty Fed: Guilty Who will pay? The rest of us. :mad:

Surely a 25BP tax on all transactions would kill arbitrage and pretty much kill the derivatives markets in the US. Wouldn't it cause a bigger problem than the one they're trying to fix?

I don't see what the issue is. The American people were quite happy to accept free money from the banks when it was on offer. What's the problem with giving a little bit of it back to keep the economic engine running?

I can't see that this would have been done unless there was real fear of a total collapse of the banking system. Governments don't have the money to nationalise all the banks, so market manipulation is the only option left to them to try to keep the wheels turning. It would have been more...

I assume they are covering themselves. If the borrow fails for any reason, then you will be bought in. They can no longer turn a blind eye to the fails.

Northern Rock?

When did enforcing delivery of contractual obligations become communism? :confused: Preventing this corruption restores free access to the capital markets.

Got time to post to ET, but haven't got time for a piss! Might want to examine your priorities. :p

He probably slept through it again. :D

I was just having a little joke at your expense. Hope you don't mind. What is worrying me is that you seem to have gone from independent thinker originating and testing his own ideas to working on someone elses ideas without questioning them. You come across as a smart person, much smarter...

Ooh. A trendline. Amazing. :eek:

Your first few posts on ET were about how you took positions not bets. All we've seen since is you being shaken out of potentially profitable positions. Sort yourself out. I wonder how long will it take you to figure out how to trade the news? Good journal though. Easily the most...

It's the evil speculators. $5 up. $5 down. That has little or no impact on supply and demand. These intraday swings are just speculation. It's not anything to do with fundamentals. Why would a daytrader be worried about fundamentals? All the information you need is in the chart.
