Ha! If you call Bernanke incompetenet, how do you call Rumsfield and W?

I doubt it. It's the market job to determine value, not the Fed Chairman job to argue with them and admit the lapse later. He has other instruments to move the markets.

Greenspan took one of the worst market dive in history. Was he a scapegoat too?

The fact that you included Goldman in the list of "stocks that haven't moved to the Nasdaq" tells me that you know very little about the history of the NYSE and its commercial interests. You probably didn't even try to understand why I mentioned Microsoft, Intel and Cisco in the list of...

Why do you think companies like Cisco, Intel and Microsoft haven't moved to the NYSE? Seriously, this thread could go on forever until the members of the NYSE Special Defense Team will keep replying with out of the subject posts: the original posts were intended to document the kind of...

Good point, makes me thinking that democracy is a very limited phenomenon, demographically speaking: it originated in Greece, widespreaded in Europe and was then exported to North America, some South American countries and Australia by the first european immigrants. But then you have outliers...

Hey Hamlet, great reply. Just curious, how much do you make?

Unbelievable. Look cstu, if you think informing fellow traders of NYSE criminal activities is a little stupid, check out this report. This is not my experience or the experience of some jerk posting on ET under a stupid alias. This is the SEC: http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/34-49499.htm

Dear Don, When you meet his Highness the Governor of the NYSE floor, please send my best wishes from me and all of my fellow traders and investors who lost their money in creatures like YUM, LPX and X. Long life to the Hybrid, one of the last endangered species in risk of extinction left on...

Norm, I think you're talking about risk. There are some formulas out there to calculate risk based on beta (a measure of volatility) or VaR (it adds a prediction component to the risk calc, but the prediction is based on historical data. No magic). For example: Stock X: 1000 shares, price...

Poor guys..., they only steal once every while.

My take... Both styles look for patterns. Discretionary trading... - can not handle a large number of transactions at the same time - has to win emotions - risk of human error - slower execution + can deal with unexpected conditions and new variables immediately + adapts faster +...

Although I agree that if you're carrying a "scalp" position your time risk is limited, there are market neutral strategies out there that hedge their delta in real-time for long-short portfolios carrying multiple stock positions. Those strategies buy/sell future contracts everytime the long or...

Hamlet, IMO you have a point in the sense that some intraday strategies bear less risk because of the very short holding period (on average) and assuming you can easily flip your position if you're caught on the wrong side. I think those variables should be considered when calculating risk...

That's what I thought. Answer: inequality. Roman empire, French monarchy, Zar's Russia, Chinese dinasties, British colonialism, pick your choice, no matter how wealthy or efficient an economy is, when enough people are getting frustrated and they say fuck it, they will. Good luck with yourself.

It is true. Read the Adam Smith you mentioned earlier or "Human Action: A treatise on Economics", by Ludwig Von Mises, Part One: Human Action.

Boy... you know your business... Try to answer this question: what is the single most influential factor in the failure of all the major world economies historically?

Assuming you're daytrading, current market conditions sets the bar very high so if you've been profitable for the last 6 months you can congratulate yourself. I've been trading for almost a year and it's only over the last 3 months that I had some profits but my risk/reward (and that of the guys...
