I believe that if every person who lost their job or half of the funds in their 401k or IRA as a result of the economic collapse watched 60 minutes tonight, there would be public outrage on an unprecedented scale. The segment clearly explained how GS contributed to the collapse, profited...

Wow, nice first post. You are obviously not new to preparedness and have put a lot of thought into the subject. A few posters on ET take the attitude that preparedness is useless because it will only make you a target to have all of your supplies stolen. You articulated well the fact that any...

I thought the manipulators have been suppressing the price of gold during Comex trading hours for years: http://seasonalcharts.com/intraday_metalle_gold.html "Gold market observers in Europe joke about it by saying: 'Good Morning America!' or 'You can set your watch by it'. What happens...

Thanks for the post. GATA's claims are very interesting. I am going to look through their website for more info. http://www.gata.org/

It is good that our government is so rich. They can solve any problem by printing and throwing more money at it. However, if they can bail out the banks, they may as well bail out the people who paid to bail out the banks. Unfortunately, some people are already predicting the plan will be...

I am curious. How many private messages have you received offering to teach you to trade for a fee?

I do not personally use MACD to signal a trend. I was only responding to a question about how to use it in conjunction with %R. However, MACD is no worse than any other moving average to define a trend. I prefer price action and trend line breaks to define trends. There are a lot of different...

The stop loss is easy--below the prior swing low initially. However, after a few days of profit, I may trail my stop in several different ways. Targets are harder. A lot of times I get stopped out with my trailing stop. I also use a method in this relatively obscure but good trading book...

I bet that his tactics convince over 90% of his clients to invest in this fund. I also bet that he gets a big fat commission for the sale. However, I am curious why you invest in mutual funds through your bank. Why not go through a discount broker?

I think you made some very good points that I hope are obvious to most people. Certainly it makes no sense to pay off a 5% mortgage when you are paying 24% interest on credit card balances. It is also very important to have at least 6-12 months of expenses in savings before paying off your...

Thanks, but my home is paid off and it is staying that way. Actually, I heard a financial columnist talk about a way to pay your house off quickly using a HELOC. Basically, you take out a HELOC, deposit your paycheck every week into it and pay all of your bills out of it. Keeping a higher...

I am sure that there are many ethical financial advisors--I apologize if I insulted anyone. A small minority of the best financial advisors are paid solely for their advice and have no inherent conflict of interest. However, I believe that the majority are either paid commissions for selling...

The main group I hear encouraging people to not pay off their mortgage are financial advisors who want you to dollar cost average your available funds into the market every month. They say that it is much wiser to get the historical 8% stock market return rather than pay off a mortgage that...

The highest probability trades are in the direction of the trend. If you are using MACD to determine the trend, then you want to only go long when MACD is above it's moving average and short when MACD is below it's moving average. Therfore, waiting for MACD to signal a direction is your first...

MACD is a fabulous indicator that can be used in a lot of different ways. However, I assume you are using it as a trend following indicator to trade in the direction of MACD crossing over it's moving average. If that is the case, then MACD and %R can be used together as a system. If you look at...

I have a 32,000 gallon swimming pool and a British Berkefeld water filter that is used by relief organizatins around the world to clean river water for human consumption. 2 of my 3 closest neighbors also have pools. I think most people have enough canned foods to last a few weeks. What would...

The US has one of the highest per capita gun ownership rates in the world. Every other person I know is a hunter. A suburban subdivision with a close knit group of neighbors with guns is much safer than living on an isolated farm. In all but the most desperate economic situations, a well armed...

Larry Williams uses it very successfully when trading futures. It works the same as any oscillator, including stochastics and RSI. I find that %R is more sensitive in that it gives more frequent signals than stochastics and it seems to sometimes give premature signals. You can compare them side...
