    My dads JPM Chase mutual Fund

    There is no way in hell that Nitro is a decent trader. Its some kid with an internet habit and very little knowledge about markets.

    My dads JPM Chase mutual Fund

    You are incredibly niave and uninformed. Nobody makes 20% a year in conservative investments. You obviously don't understand the nature of risk and reward, or how free markets work.

    Potash Corp. rejects $130-share bid from BHP

    I hope your posts stay on this forum so we can all laugh about them in the future. I can tell you know absolutely nothing about POT at all, and the idea that you want to buy Puts on this is ridiculous. Good luck with that premium. Ok, so you think shareholders of POT are idiots, would that be...

    Sorry, but I'm really not sure why you are so challenged to stay on topic or say something relevant. I clearly illustrated why Nitro was wrong. You have been much less clear and almost religious ( not scientific ) in your beliefs.

    POT has a dividend of $0.10 US, a tiny fraction of its share price. In CDN$, the stock has traded between $90 and $130 ( approx ) for a year. Today you can sell that share for at least $150 CDN. How significant is the dividend to investors in POT ? Well, I guess it is a dime and that's...

    Ok, now we have a big event today with a bid to takeover POT at $130 US a share. According to your buddy companies this large don't get taken over and their share price is suspect at all times ( only reflecting the next "suckers" price ). I haven't looked at POT's dividend someone can quote...

    Sorry I interrupted your "Flat Earth Society" discussion. I got confused and thought this was an investment site where most contributors had some semblence of rudimentary knowledge in the field.

    Buddy, Nitro makes NO SENSE PERIOD. Are you really as thick headed as this dimwit Nitro ? I can very easily find you many basically insolvant companies that pay generous dividends, and on the flip side highly profitable companies that pay very modest dividends. The dimwit can buy the first group.

    Buddy, your ideas are to put it bluntly ignorant. Do you even know what a Growth Stock is ? Your "good example" you so dearly require is IN YOUR OWN POST. MSFT is a good example of a company that had many stages of maturity. Now, it is worth a lot of money, but even MSFT has a price below which...

    Why are you confused ? Shareholders own the company when earnings go up that's more capital added to the company so its worth more. I'll keep it simple you seem inexperienced. You run a company worth $10,000 today. You make $1,000 net cash profit. That makes your company worth $11,000. If...

    Working with system developers

    I just noticed you were posting more oddball ideas on another thread. As a service to others we should all note this and the likelihood that you have anything useful to say on software development is ZERO. That is one drawback of the internet, one cannot completely avoid the idiots like...

    Working with system developers

    No end to the nonesense opinions concerning IT services. I have to laugh when the idea of hiring recent high school or college grads come up I spent years making good money fixing up pilot systems that people in these categories created. Do it yourself well yes if you are a better...

    Long only Traders

    American securities have been trading in a large channel for most of the year and its interesting when the bottom of the channel was tested all we heard was the "sky is falling" and "double dip" on the news media. Predictably many strong stocks rallied since. Easy money on some situations going...

    Working with system developers

    Predictable. Of course the best developer was 19 most stronger more experienced developers would tell you to take a hike. Professional help ? God your immature that is the point in the first place you want to hire a professional but want to pay them like a 19 year old apprentice. Grow up...

    Long only Traders

    Except do you not realize the best trade of the day was to short financials in the morning when they started rolling over ? Your long bias prevented you from taking that trade. I would bet the house you could have made more money in 30 minutes on that trade then all your other long trades...

    Trading is NOT a business

    This is one of the dumbest posts I have ever read on here and there have been some really dumb posts from time to time. It is obvious you are looking for some technical "holy grail" without truly having any instincts for the what you are trying to achieve. Sure there are a lot of people just...

    Working with system developers

    I've worked in both businesses and again I note that professionals in the software development field don't get the respect that their skills and value deserve. People are constantly declaring they can't find good people but in reality they just won't pay proper value. It is NOT outrageous to...

    Early Sale by Broker

    The options were purchased on a cash basis no margin use was involved. I understand how a broker might want to cover their risk but this is more easily done simply by not exercising options for customers lacking suitable margin to do so. I suspect this is a gray area and so far no one who...

    Entering Without A Setup ...

    I'm fairly new to day trading and have a fairly low daily stop limit to deal with. I am good at identifying trends but have lost money mainly because I cut my winners far too easily. So I came to the conclusion that I need to find good setups, better entry points, and let them run. Easier...
