    NASAA Study: 1 in 26 Day Trading Accounts Tracked Successful: 70% Lose Everything

    OK, I'll try even though i agree with the study. It's an old study. Pricing is now in decimals, which makes slippage much less. You're not going to see 50 cents of slippage on a $20 stock. Commissions are much less these days, which contributes less to losses. The sample size is just...

    Lawyer to Stars’ Ex-Wives Has Never Been Busier As Ex-Husband's Fortunes Crumble

    I am also way over on the bearish side. As far as the call for a 2nd Depression. I can't really argue with you on that front. As a good buddy of mine said a few months back "the party for this part of the world is over".

    Lawyer to Stars’ Ex-Wives Has Never Been Busier As Ex-Husband's Fortunes Crumble

    Unlike many here who give you a lot of shit for your 'cut and paste' articles. I actually enjoy them. So thanks for posting them. However, I got to ask. Do you just sit around all day scanning for negativity?

    The Surf Report

    The likelihood of your strategy blowing up is pretty small. Then again so was Neiderhoffer's and we all know what happened to him (twice). That does not make it a good strategy. I guess you don't have any issue with the amount of time your money spends under water earning zero (apart from...

    The Surf Report

    What am I doing here? Trying to prevent sheep from being lead off a cliff. Believe it or not there are plenty of newbies here who do fall for this stuff and wind up losing real money that they can't afford to. Surf is not a trader, he's a journalist. Now he's the Pied Piper. McKenna, Do...

    Daytrading leads to Inevitable Failure? Is Swing Trading the only Viable Path?

    Cross the market with a routable limit order. This acts as a psuedo market order with price certainty.

    Job Fight: Immigrants vs. Locals

    Great post. Put yourself in the position of Tyson Foods. Whom would you rather hire? Someone who is grateful for the oportunity or someone who is bitching before they even get handed an application? Farther back in the line, marked by orange tape and monitored by police, locals like...

    Daytrading leads to Inevitable Failure? Is Swing Trading the only Viable Path?

    In short.......... Take what they give you and use it to your advantage. How about getting a scanner to find the action as fast (or nearly as fast) as they do? If you don't have a decent scanner can you really bitch about this? "Size. These bot trading systems, like the ones at James...

    Daytrading leads to Inevitable Failure? Is Swing Trading the only Viable Path?

    No, they never do learn. Your post just proved that. "Slave to the screen"? I guess that's worse than being a slave to some jackass boss? "A drone to the action for all eternity"? Not really, try a couple hours a day. No offence intended, but you'll learn a lot more with your...
