    Who are your favorite specialists?

    3 out of 4 stocks move in sympathy with the market, the remaining one won't follow the market due to a specific reason that nothing has to do with the Specialist. For many guys is easier to blame the Specialist for their stupid decisions than to ask themselves "what a f..k I was thinking...

    The Mental Similarities of Playing Golf and Trading

    I recently bought a book named "Be the Ball" which is filled with wonderful golf quotes from guys like Butch Harmon, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, among many others, that nicely apply to trading. One of the phrases that I always keep in mind while trading is one from...

    Brazil the New Emerging Global Power

    I never mentioned that a factor needed to be a super power is to have a powerful army and invade countries. For me a super power is the one that provides good standards of living to their citizens. Countries like Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia and maybe Canada are those who are doing...

    Morgan fires 4 after strip club visit

    If attending strip clubs goes against the written conduct code of MWD so it was OK to fire these trolls. I hope brokers will show the same energy when punishing their employees when they provide misleading information to clients causing them an economic damage. This doble morality has...

    Brazil is light years from becoming a super power. I've been in Rio and Sao Paulo and the poverty you see is terrible. But beautiful babes they have, among the best I have ever seen and very open in terms of sex.:D

    pivot points

    Mark Fisher in "The Logical Trader" which I'm currently reading, says that when in a particular day the pivot range is narrow a larger price range can be expected the following day. But my question is, what happens on the other way, if we have a wide pivot range can we expect less price...

    Natural gas crash

    I agree with you, there are better places to put your hard earned dollars in. There are other sectors that are currently showing a better performance against the CRB Index. But in the long term Natural Gas remains being a good bet. I still think that no matter how high they are but Gold and...

    TAPE READING (chat room cont.)

    sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. when looking at the bids and the asks in the ECN and the NYOB you have to see what is going to offer less opposition for the stock to move. You have to realize that stocks are lazy and they prefer to move against the point of less resistance. If you...

    Objective Elliott Wave............

    As Victor Niederhoffer says, there's no doubt that some of the best lessons about the markets can be found on diverse fields of knowledge like chemistry, physics, thermodynamics or sports. Baseball in my particular case has provided valuable lessons that I've applied to my trading. I've also...

    Objective Elliott Wave............

    Tony, I'm not a fan of EW but I'm bullish in the long-term due to the fact that most of the time it has payed to be bullish on stocks. The historical positive bias of the stock market makes foolish to be negative in the long-term. I'm also bullish due to the bearish sentiment that can be...

    Poll- Best % return in 2006

    I agree with you Schindler, when everyone is so bearish about stocks it means that this is the time to load the truck. People are bearish due to to the inverted yield curve with the idea that it predicts a recession, but I'm more of the idea that it predicts a cut in short-term rates in the...

    "GM bankruptcy not a remote possibility"

    GM is entirely responsible for years of manufacturing low-quality vehicles, so let them face their fate. They must assume the most capitalist of all principles "Self-Responsibility". I agree that it worries to see an American icon having such a bad time, but I'm a firm believer of Darwin and...
