    Why do people hate day traders that made it

    Most people do not hate, but respect the daytraders who made it. Because we all know how much work and effort is required to make it long term. What most people do hate are little punk kids who come to this site to talk trash and throwing out fake numbers to try impress. Yes i am talking...

    Eric Bolling: Cut losers quick is the key to making money.

    i stopped watching that video after he said he doesnt believe in global warming, and that the ice cap has always melted then frozen....wtf. Belongs in the same category as jim cramer and lenny dystra. This is a great thread though. I think it's better to go in after a trend has already...

    wheres ETFC going now?

    yep the former ceo decided to dump the entire book on buying subprime loans, then a nice analyst at citi caused a panic bank run. I am sure if you do a search will find the whole story, reads like a bad fairy tale :) Basically a company with a strong core business and a very bad book.

    new york city real estate price erosion

    it's much more difficult to secure the same loan now than before when rates were actually higher due to the lending practice tightening. Especially for 500k+ loans, which most of nyc falls under.

    new york city real estate price erosion

    I live in nyc, in my opinion the real estate drop experienced by other parts of the country is just beginning here. The reason is simple: NYC real estate is tied directly to wall street. Wall street performed terribly last 6 month as everyone know but the yearend bonus wasnt THAT BAD at...

    What's your exit strategy?

    My system only looks at the daily bar not intraday. I am not sure if you call it trend or swing, basically it enters order when ma10 moves above ema20 above ema30 (among many other conditions), and can hold a position open for months.

    What can the government do now?

    The market is like a crack addict. Everytime the government injects it with a rate cut or package, it goes green for a bit then drops right back down. My question is now that the government and bennie is almost out of drugs, what will they do now? another -300 point drop today, with no...

    What's your exit strategy?

    My 5 year backtesting result with a mixed sample of 500ish nyse+nas stocks between $5-55 range is at 45/55 win/loss and -5% What i found interesting is the 55 percent losers, more than half has good entry, meaning the stock does go up, just that my system doesnt exit until it becomes a loss...

    Automated execution

    so basically most of the 1GB are just logs. I was going to say...unless there are tons of graphics there is no way the actual code base could reach 1GB, at least not anything written by 1 person. 1GB is approx 10,000,000 lines of code in java. ------------------ From what i understand...

    Thank you Citigroup for making ETFC a cash machine.

    lol the baby is one of the few funny ads, this year's superbowl commericals sucked. Even budweiser didnt do so good. ETFC tried to break out of 5 and failed friday, but volume still increasing, indicating heavy consolidation. Let see if it tries again monday to break away from 5 or heads lower.

    Jim Rogers: New leg down for investment banks

    And why do you think there are so many migrant workers trying to get home from everywhere for the new year? It's a sign of the rapid growth of the chinese economy, where just 10 years ago, most of these workers worked at their small town/village, now basically only the children and elderly...
