Allot of people are in your boat. that is why it has been hard to cover. After this happened to me a few times i completely revised my trading strategy. The experience gave me a much greater understanding of what creates support in a sharp uptrend (shorts trying to squeak out).

False on both counts humpty. Emergency care is provided to those who cannot pay, and public defense attorneys are often (perhaps even usually) better than the ones people hire privately.

There is no such thing as property ownership. Today, the state is the equivalent of the feudal landlord. If you do not consume enough services and create a large enough tax payment, your property is subject to seizure. Think about it, property tax is a RENT payment. If another tenant...

what market was this in

If he does this to China or Russia he will not be long for the world.

Better yet we will promise to provide them with more nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel if they promise to stop making us look bad till the current president's term is up. Wasn't that clinton's original agreement when he GAVE them their nuclear program???

Paper tiger? The USA and the Allies committed grave crimes against civilian populations in WWII. Carpet Bombing civilian cities in Germany caused destruction the like of which Americans have never seen and cannot fathom. Our two Nuclear attacks in Japan... Hardly the record of a paper...

Good info Cutten, thanks for the write up.

We have a multi-day compression point which is when anxiety builds. Fading compression point breakouts does not have an edge, to put it mildly.

building 7 does look like a controlled demolition. The physics professor who uses the technical equipment to prove the building fell at free fall rates made a convincing point. The leaseholder/owner Silverstein is on tape saying he got word they were going to, "pull it". No opinion...

If u are doing a real partnership among a few people and not trying to join the "hedge fund industry" it can be done for much, much less than 30k. Take at least a zero off that.

have you considered doing managed accounts? There is an exclusion from registration if you are only working for friends and family and have under a certain number of customers. See the NFA web site for details. By the way, IB has a nice, low cost setup that makes doing this very easy.

Anyone else here have fond memories of the "old" internet, before it became all about advertising and commerce? Back in the good old days it easy to meet interesting and intelligent people online because most people online where interesting and intelligent. Anyone else here hate...

I kind of wonder if the reason they are doing the forced upgrade is this thread and other places where people were passing around old versions in public view. I have no idea, however as a rule and for future reference, this type of thing is best left to private email or the least the...

With the raid on two key funds today and the soon to be public release of Inside trading, the biggest since the history of the market, the "Average Joe" will shun the US STOCK market like a dirty needle from a Drug Clinic." Wonderful news. Perhaps then valuations will fall and we will see...

Apparently Buick is big overseas. GM originally had so many "brands" because they started as independent companies that were rolled into what became General Motors. Over time the bean counters gutted the independent nature of what became each "brand" until it reached the point where each...

I might not believe in government schemes like "employment insurance" however in the grand scheme of things it is a trivial concern. The ultra wealthy are the largest beneficiaries of welfare. All the money given to the lower classes is immediately spent at the wall marts of the world...

This is pretty standard from what I have seen and in my opinion it is logical to either use the (for example) moving average value for the prior bar's close, or to wait until the current bar is closed. Using the current value for a non-closed bar can lead to some very deceptive effects in my...
