    buy and hold strategy

    If you buy on Oct 1 and sell on Sept 30, you will have short term gains, better to wait until Nov 1 to sell so you have 13 months' holding period.

    Hardest working countries?

    Norway, Sweden and Denmark are ahead of us? Aren't they the dreaded SOCIALISTS! Maybe if we go SOCIALIST we'll work harder too.

    US Taxing 100% of Personal Income Will Not Cover Deficits

    The American public is so stupid that if you gave them 2 choices - a stock and a bond fund- they would have it in the wrong one 100% of the time. Most Americans can't even balance a check book. Very sad, and a reflection on the education system more than anything.

    US Taxing 100% of Personal Income Will Not Cover Deficits

    So you felt Bush had us going in the right direction? If we had followed through with his SS reforms by privatizing the system our country would have ceased to exist by now. You do realize that, don't you?

    US Taxing 100% of Personal Income Will Not Cover Deficits

    The problem with this is our workers just aren't that smart anymore due to the poor education system we have. In order to completely execute your idea, we have to completely open the borders in order to attract a better quality of worker. Are you willing to do this? If not, the restrictions on...

    Brokers are scum.

    You'd have the same luck trying to get a car salesman to explain in detail how an engine works. Advisors are salespeople, they don't actually manage the funds. They are just a middle man who charge a fee to direct your money to a mutual fund manager who also charges a fee. Quite redundant, IMO.

    Why is Macke Out From CNBC?

    This is the problem with CNBC, its all about the "characters" rather than the reporting. When's the last time there was a scandal at Bloomberg? They just consistently report the business news rather than playing sound effects. It has gotten really bad at CNBC.

    This Country is run by morons

    Wall St is like a playground in grade school. You tell the kids, "Go play nice outside" and they do for a while. Then some kids start coming back to class with black eyes, missing teeth and bloody lips. What do you do then? You put some teachers (adults) in charge of monitoring them. They have...

    If I trade ES and use 1 point stop loss, what are the pros and cons?

    Read his comment VERY carefully. A 1 pt stop between 930-1030 is very different than a 1 pt stop over lunch time. I would only use ATR based stops vs a hard number. Lets you stay flexible. Just like you use different clubs to tee off on a par 3 vs a par 4-- they're both golf holes, but the...

    Socialism failed the test in one of America's Universities. A must read.

    Dude- you should totally move to Somalia. There's no Socialism, no pesky government intervention. They let free markets decide. I think you'd fit in well there. Good luck- thnxbai

    Or freaking Somalia for that matter. They have limited government, that's what the right wingers want here right? No pesky government intervention in Somalia, the free markets decide everything! Have a blast!
