Personally, I can't wait for a bear market. There's something about my personality that just enjoys short selling. Ah well.

I find it hilarious that Countrywide agrees to be bought, for a 70% discount to its supposed book value, in BAC stock :D So here there are two of the largest financial companies in the United States, both active in the same industry of selling paper for marked up prices, they agree to swap...

What I find interesting is that your wednesdays lag significantly behind the other days of the week. What's the reason for this? Do you get hammered every tuesday night :) ?

They got 200 responses, who cares. They might as well have conducted the poll here at ET.

I sold EMKR today for a 5% gain. Volume seemed kinda flaky so I decided to get rid of it. I'll buy back in tomorrow if I see the stock move up in my unusual volume list. I've also recently moved from being a papertrader to being a payper trader in the ES and I'm seeing pretty consistent...

Bernanke knows how to please his women :D

The market is pricing in write down that will devalue the book value of Bear Sterns.

Today I made my first trade in a Hershey stock. To test the waters I decided to start out small. I bought 1000 EMKR @ 12.94.

If you make sure you're consistently in moves like these you'll be consistently profitable. Even if you screwed up and lost 7.5 points yesterday and 12.5 points the day before that, you'd still have made a total of 10 points just by holding through this one move.

Considering you could have just hold through the afternoon's down move and made 30 points I wouldn't say it's "optimal". The real issue here is whether you can do this consistently or not. Let's just say that if you're able to consistently scalp 12 points a day off the e-mini's you're in a...

There's indeed a certain peace about being in the market continuously. It causes you to move away from thinking in terms of entries and exits and it establishes the goal of always having a position opened in what you've determined to be the right side of the market. When I trade I see myself...

Would you say that instead of "first" and "second" you might describe the relationship between cause and effect as active and passive? The creator being active and the created passive? I reminded myself of the Gospel of Thomas saying 50 where there's talk of movement and repose:

Ok, I can see the problem with that. I think the only viable locations for a store type like that would be train stations. The problem would be over-seeable though as locations like that are pretty easy to close down. Perhaps you could say the low-cost would be worth the experiment.

At what kind of locations did they open those outlets?

I find this really hard to understand. You say there is is a certain order to cause and effect, or the Father and the Son for that matter, not according to time but according to creation. Doesn't this imply that there was a time(?) before creation, a pre-creation, where Father and Son did...

What's the difference between cause and effect when there's no time?

That list doesn't even include online retailers such as Amazon.com The only retailer with a strong online presence in that list is Walmart. Circuit city does have strong growth in their online sales segment but they're still a small fish in that game.

Brand value. It's what brands are all about, charging premiums. A type brands charge A type premiums. The people in this thread who compare the prices at Starbucks to what their competitors charge don't understand this. Price competition is an issue when talking about discount stores, not...

Starbuck's is at the same juncture where McDonald's was in the 1980's. Most commentators predicted an end to the growth story citing market saturation as a cause. McDonald's solved this by expending overseas and refocusing on prime real-estate. Starbuck's still has plenty of room to grow in...
