gkishot, PuffyGums, I think any response I make will fall on deaf ears, because you have already made up your minds. But to connect one cause and effect in the way you just have is simply flawed, it is bad science. Like any tool TA is not cut out for every job. There are people who know...

Before you can make that statement you should be able to prove the following: 1. Most of those who failed used technical analysis. 2. They knew how to use it properly. 3. Non of the people who succeeded used technical analysis. 4. There is no other factor that caused them to fail besides...

I don't think the idea is to follow what the media says, but instead to use the side effects it generates to one's own advantage. For example, lets say that news show X consistenty makes a prediction on Monday mornings about what the S&P will do during the day, this in turn causes a temporary...

I wonder if anyone has studied the correlation between market activity (i.e. S&P open) and financial news shows? I know many such studies have been done for Mags and News paper headlines, but it would be interesting if there is any peculiar effects generated by news shows. I guess Kramer's show...

Isn't "averaging down" one of the worst sins a trader can commit? What if it doesn't go back up? What happened to cutting your losses? -Neo

GoodPunk, Maybe you should reconsider trading Forex, there have been too many posts about Forex brokers running stops through faulty price feeds... unless you plan to use manual stops it might effect your strategy. -Neo

They have an office in Connecticut, but you can forget about getting an interview unless you have a very good track record. I believe this is a contact point for them, I'm not sure if it is still valid... S.A.C. Capital Advisors, LLC 777 Long Ridge Road Stamford, CT 06902 Telephone...

But isn't Matrox headquartered in Canada? You should be able to buy it directly from Matrox.

Rod Shaft, This is uncanny, my story is pretty much the same. I was in college and my friend brought in a copy of Money Magazine with lots of tech stock buy recommendations. He explained to me how his friend had made a load of money in stocks and that he himself had made great money during...

Just tell him to study the Japanese real estate market of the past 20 years.

Too bad he is atheist... But on a serious note, the US can make more money by not selling out to the Chinese, the Chinese' appetite for oil will only grow and with it increased demand and prices. Hey, it might even give the US a competitive edge. Just look at all the problems Europe is facing...

Although I can't comment on their business practices I can say that their office in NYC looks like a dump. I visited goodpunk a couple months ago to check the place out and the office space looked horrible. Its near by the 42-St Bryant Park subway station. The equipment looked out of date as...

Looking at the CBOE Gold Index, I'm waiting for it to break 85.

Hope so, I've been waiting for Gold to react.

This paper reads like anti-daytrader propaganda... Any academics care to refute some of their points or their testing methodology? -Neo

There is a lot of stuff on options on the exam, so make sure you understand them well. What worked for me is drawing a diagram, using visual tools is probably the easiest way to understand options. The questions are pretty basic once you get the hang of it. Good luck.
