as a contrarian, i think anybody who is in gold now IS late, to some extent the time to buy is when EVERYBODY hates it and everybody hated gold several years ago... however, imo the bull run is far from over. 2 words. trailing stops. let the rest ride

exactly my point. it's not the platform hint : there is no magic indicator either

i can't figure out if the original poster is a troll, or actually serious. MOST traders lose money. it is NOT because of their platform. how laughable. fwiw, i read tape (since i scalp YM), but there are about 10 million ways to make money in the market it's not about having the...

gold. it's a bull market you buy the dips. until the bull market is over. on both a fundamental and a technical basis. it aint over

imo, the best books on trading aren't really "on trading". they are books on game theory. this is as distinguished from INVESTING, which of course is entirely different. but in trading, you are trading other traders, not the underlying securities (essentially), so you need to understand...

fwiw (shades of rogue trader), I find trading SGXNK much easier if simultaneously watching the prints in Japan (OSE) as well. it's not quite "arb'able" but one can often give a heads up to the other. OSE has a 10 pt spread. SGX, a 5 pt spread. by watching the order flow on OSE, you can...

i use IB and love it. however... let's be real. i can't imagine anybody using their charts. they are just TERRIBLE. (i chart through medved quotetracker). i shudder to say that AMERITRADE (i have an account with them too for longer term holds, which is fine since they aren't direct...

picked up a little more today just under $10 and sold 1/2 of those @10.50 still holding my core. i'd like to see a little short squeeze action

today is a holiday (tuesday) on japanese exchanges

disclaimer: i've been bullish on gold, and have been accumulating gold/gold mutual fund/gold futures for 6 yrs. and have taken profit on 1/2 of my gold holdings. gold is a commodity. it aint that simple. look at the fundamentals, look at relative supply/demand, look at india, and look...

fair enuf. good post. i still think it better to say "60% of the american people POLLED were against the war" that is much clearer.

"Do you know that 60% of the americans voted against the war on Iraq ?" false/. the american people have never voted for or against the war in iraq. are you referring to POLLS? polls are not votes. polls are a measure of opinion, but they are not votes. this one statement alone...

Correct (volatility). Nikkei has a fat, trending nature. Compare to YM (which is by far my favorite US trading instrument). Nikkei is at roughly 16k. Many days it will have several swings from 50 to 150 pts at a time. Compare that to YM, which is at roughly 11k, and the relative swing...

i don't FOCUS on that you are focusing on that, also you are the king of strawmen. i read the advocate often. they have often mentioned that. is the advocate (the #1 gay oriented newspaper in the country) "homophobic?" i also mentioned that basketball players tend on average to be...

Any thoughts? I bought some shares at average price of $10.98 on Friday. I also picked up some Aug Calls 12.5 and 15. my feeling is that, like many emotional friday selloffs, it is overdone. I also suspect, with the exceptionally high volume of shares traded, that it is loaded with...

i think it's pretty well accepted in both the gay and straight communities alike that gay men, on average, are better looking than straights. gay pub's such as the advocate have remarked on this, as has the village voice ( a progressive weekly), and many other pop culture outlets...

Nikkei. Wonderful market. profitable

i see this classic fallacy ALL THE TIME, that politicians from either party supposedly are supposed to represent the party values. republican politicians and democrat politicians are... POLITICIANS neither "represent" republican or democratic values, nearly as much as they represent...

"Its really up to personal preference. The laws of mathematics and english are writtened by man. Therefore, anything goes. " false. although maybe the smiley was instructive. futures are a zero sum game. stocks aren't futures are contracts. they are not ownership of anyTHING...
