    46.3 million Americans without health insurance

    Yes it costs money and a lot of it. The bottom line of it all is there are fundamentally only 3 ways to lower the total cost of health care. First is to reduce the cost of the care itself (my suggestions above). Second reduce the amount of health care the people in the system need (rationing)...

    46.3 million Americans without health insurance

    While I agree health care NEEDS reform...ALL current House and Senate bills are NOT the reform that is needed. We do NOT need or want a "single payer" system. We don't need a government plan and we DEFINITELY do NOT need this to be forced down our throats. What we need is: 1. Lower cost of...

    Nah it's easy, find youself a stock like EXBX (trading at $0.09) buy up 50k shares for $4500 and sell when it hits $25 in a few years = done. :D

    help a ETer out

    Wow. I looked at his chart and read what he wrote but my mind instinctively replaced the word "put" with "call". It wasn't until I read your response that I even realized he was suggesting puts...yeah that would be the wrong thing to do. I personally might consider selling some January 20...

    ToS is adding "Robotic Trading Engine"

    So I just saw on the ToS website that ToS has a "Robotic Trade Engine" coming soon. Not sure when "soon" will be but given the quality of their platform I will be anxious to see how this engine works out.

    With all these recent psycology questions...

    It seems lately a lot of people are raising questions about their trading psychology/discipline. I wonder if taking Zanex or Prozac might certain traders not care as much about their trades and thus help remove the emotions from making the bad trade decisions. :D NOTE: This post is in...

    Madoff dying of cancer, fellow inmates say: report

    But do they let them take it back to their cells? I figured that was for consumption in the cafeteria. Then again I guess he is in "Club Fed".

    Madoff dying of cancer, fellow inmates say: report

    WTF!?! How are inmates cooking in their cells? I know sandwich wraps don't require cooking specifically but where are they getting the food?

    How to write call options at IB?

    I do not use IB so I don't know the specific screens but the premium received should show up in your available cash. The P/L is constantly changing to show what gain/loss you would lock in if you liquidated your position at that point. I do also want to reiterate what others have said though...

    indicators to show if support/resistance will hold

    There is not indicator that I know of. I personally base my opinion on how stable a support or resistance line is off a couple of factors. These are distance, time and prior touches. By distance I mean is once a S/R line is breached how much further has price moved beyond that level and once...

    Why do "profitable" traders take the time to train people remotely and for a fee?

    I skipped all the "fluff posts" in the middle so I apologize if this has been mentioned already. It's called diversification. If they are making $30k a day on average and can get 100 people to pay $200 month to listen to them that's $20k month for doing NO ADDITIONAL WORK. Then they write a book...

    dumb noob question: difference between SPY and ES prices?

    I guess the question he was trying to get to is: If you are trading, you must have a broker, that broker should be able to provide quotes either via web or via some platform. So why would you use Yahoo for quotes?

    concentration in trading

    If that doesn't work make a written check list. If you can't check all the boxes don't make the trade. If you still make trades that don't fit the criteria, then you need to go join the military for a few years and lean discipline.

    Advice, I WANT TO TRADE!!!

    Read books, take courses, study, LEARN. Open a demo/paper trading account with someone and practice. While making a profit paper trading does not guarantee success with real money, if you can't make money on paper then it will guarantee failure with real money. Also it is usually best to...
