the MEDIAN ( not average, the middle ) income for all U.S. citizens is about $33,000/yr. This includes all regions, and varies considerably by cost of living. In Florida the Median is about $24,000/yr but the cost of living is pretty low in most of the state and there is no state income tax to...

man, I certainly hope you are some sad alias and not a real person. Perhaps you are the same person as MSFE. Or, if a real person, I hope you are too young to vote.

Cubans, at least the ones that get ahead in life ( which is the majority ) DO ASSIMILATE. They assimlate better than any other minority group that I am a aware of besides the jews. Not only that THEY VOTE REPUBLICAN. Thats why Jeb Bush is the governor of Florida, cubans provided the swing votes.

SSF's are not cash settled, they are "physically" settled, this is true across all brokerage firms.

honestly I don't understand how these "trading times" are supposed to work, maybe you can explain them.

"Prescott, likely to launch at a 3.4-GHz clock speed, will double the P4's Level 2 cache and improve the hyperthreading technology. And, Prescott machines should more fully take advantage of the higher-bandwidth memory and 800-MHz bus that the 875P chip set enables, Krewell says." if you are...

there are satellite systems that are truly two-way satellite, and not telephone uplink and satellite download, but they are rediculously expensive and you pay by the minute, mostly for use on ships and yachts and mountaintops, etc. For home use cable and dsl are the obvious way to go, although...

"If a person is a trend trader and happens to use signals from MA indictors, the person gives up much of the maoney making potential right from the get go." the idea is to wait until a trend is confirmed before jumping on it, thereby avoiding being early. Not everybody trades that way, to...

"There are very few differences between socialism and fascism. Both are totalitarian, and involve big government." this is absolutley true, and makes a joke out of all the LEFTIES calling people FASCIST. They don't even know what a FASCIST is.

don't bother with any system run by a corporation and charging money for download ability. They are profiting from piracy and will be taken out eventually. The free Gnutella based systems are the only ones that will never die, because there is no money changing hands, nobody to sue, and no...

i look at the 10 day MA breaking the 200 day. the 50 day MA breaking the 200 day is even better, and of course that takes a much longer duration of the price being above or below, like you said, and to me is more reliable.

scalping has been effectively killed off by penny and sub-penny increments, and by too many people doing it. when we get a new bull market, long only momentum trading will return however. we have even seen a bit of that happening in this latest bull move over the past few months.

prop traders are the stock market equivalent of high rollers in vegas. The ones who manage to scrape up a pile of money and quit are the only real winners, and they are rare.

I think there is actually some new money flowing into the markets. We most definitely are in an intermediate term uptrend that started in March, no way of telling how long it will last. I am 70% long, 30% cash, 0% short, but looking for short candidates at the same time.

e-gold is for real. they have been around a while and haven't had any scandals. Basically they take your national currency, exchange it for gold at the current spot rate, and then credit your account with their electronic currency pegged to the price of gold. The charge fees for all this of...

thanks for the tip on emerging from bankruptcy. I would never buy a common stock on a company in bankruptcy, now I will give it a look. I have a Kmart down the street, and they are cheaper than walmart on may items.

still that way now, perhaps trying not to canibalize the options market too much. If they go that route, I may never trade options again.

if you think that market action is a form of crowd behavior, then its not much of a stretch to think that natural phenomena can effect the market action. You have to be kind of closed minded to dismiss this off hand without even looking into it.

when I spoke of limiting losses, I was talking about stop loss orders and the like. People who don't understand stop loss's shouldn't comment on trading at all, just goes to show you how many BS aliases there are on this board. So Don, How do you limit losses on the OO strategy ? This...
