    Why You Should Go Short Tomorrow

    good analysis, the most critical event is still the rate cut, i really think a 50 bps is needed to prevent another selloff. We will see, looking to exit most positions tomorrow as well.

    ETFC into earnings???

    1) No bankruptcy 2) Forward looking statement - profitability by end of year 3) No massive account/fund exodus 4) Greater than expected current quarter loss hovering at 4 AH. Shorts are screwed tomorrow, hope for a massive market wide correction is your only way out.

    Can automated trading system be profitable?

    just slightly above what you would get putting money in one of those high yield saving account. i think it would be an accomplishment if there is a bot that can consistently get >5% annually over a period of few years.

    Can automated trading system be profitable?

    Is there really a profitable automated trading system / bot? I mean with a proven >5% return of 1-2+ years. If yes, then why havent all the wallstreet firms with their billions of dollars using it? I am a senior system developer (j2ee, database, etc..) professionally and have spent quite...

    What will happen now on Jan 29th?

    The bears were right, it WOULD been a bloodbath, as evident by the market open -400 pt drop even with the 75 bps cut. But eventually cooler heads and bargain hunters prevailed. I think the market will be ok this week, maybe even a little bullish. It's now the shorts turn to be nervous for a...

    EBAY a buy? Online yard sale...

    I am an ebay powerseller too, and have tried many different alternatives but in the end, there is still no comparison. Ebay's fees are a complete ripoff i agree, but my items still have way more bids/views when listed on ebay vs any other sites. What alternatives are there?

    EBAY a buy? Online yard sale...

    dont forget skype. I have been using it for a while and am a true believer in its technology. I think ebay is finally figuring out how to make money off it now though with cheap monthly fee + your own number. I think by end of the year they will start making money off skype. Btw anyone...
