picking tops and bottoms is how you make money, in addition to all the other things . It's a matter of risk management and experience.

YOU ACTUALLY GOT LUCKY THAT YOUR ORDER WAS EXECUTED. They are so many constant changes at that firm, now orders are'nt guaranteed to be executed anymore. They will not execute an orderif it's palced outside "the range". Ridiculous.

you are overcomplicating already, simple trend following , 25% p.a. safe and easy. Automatic. Piece of cake.

yeah you are right better take the safe and easy 25% p.a., why would you stress out doing anything else ?

People saying market can't go down don't understand how markets work . This is not a bull market. It's a bear market rally on steroids

The oil market is a total fraud. You only need to look at what happened between 07-08 and what's happening now: this market moves on the basis of what equities are doing . If this isn't a fraud , I dont' know what that is . Make your guess as to how much speculation there is in this market , 70...

yes these ETF's are crap for multi day hold unless the market trends very strongly, look at their charts vs underlying, averaging down would kill you. They are designed for daytraders and to hedge a decline over a couple of days.

shorting stocks is a losing game. The appeal is being a hero when you catch a big top but it really is a losing game. Now some people short succesfully and consistently because they hold for short period of time when the market goes down and know when to enter. But for multi day hold it's a...

Mark to market has been taken too far, if the market is a fraud and sometimes it is, it can bring a viable business down just because of rules that says it has to have on paper a certain minimum capital requirement . That's nonsense. That's the real fraud. A loan's market value is meaningless...

Oanda historical charts are a joke,

This is the reverse crash. And that's why ordinary people will never, ever buy stocks again . It's one thing to see your portfolio lose 50% of its value and feel forced to reduce your equity exposure. It's another thing to see the market erase the crash in less than a year. All this was caused...

I have always used free charts from brokers, works well enough if you are careful and spot the errors, I had made chartstation from Netdania my main tool but they made an upgrade and you can't save your spaces anymore . What do you use ?

That's the one

re: Priorities, this should be an SEC matter, brokers should have a fiduciary duty to provide as stable a platform as possible, if not they should be facing litigation if problems are due to gross negligence such as in this case. THE PEOPLE BEHIND TWS ARE CLUELESS !!!! WARNING TO THE...

about time, the guy had actually been hired by an IT security company that called him an asset !

yes of course. you just use your real passport, if you were a US citizen you take up another citizenship such as Bermuda, Canada or a bogus one as I believe they are still easily obtainable (carribbean islands, African countries whatever..). You always enter as a tourist , get a vehicle...

I am thinking more like spending a few years in South America, then Asia, Canada, Carribbean wherever... living like a student , subletting apartments to avoid declaring residency. Only problem is the driver license, you won't be able to get one, you can get one that doesn't expire in a third...

Have you ever thought about going underground, disappearing so to avoid taxes, government, spouse whatever ? I think it's getting more and more difficult with the post 9/11 legislation on information required by brokers but if you are willing to relinquish real estate property and live a...
