It will be time to go short when everyone except a few weirdos agrees that the market is going up, and those few weirdos receive comments like "ok....whatever" or "I may not be as smart as you in trading, but why would I trade contra to the trend of the last two years ?" or "This is annoying and...

It is like Bart Simpson put it, "I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows." Actually, it reminds me of what eBay did to their website. What is it with those companies? Seems like they are making too much money so they hire people who are ordered to make every...

I did the same thing. In BSC !!! Sometimes I wonder if I will ever learn.

Thank you for the compliment.

Every time I see that commercial I ask myself the very same question.

Why would you say that? There are probably 100 million Joe Schmos in America. An estimated 90% of them are too stupid to ever get into a situation where they would have money to open a brokerage account. That leaves an order of 10 million retail brokerage accounts. 30 billion dollars would...

It just takes some getting used to. Imagine a whole country where every representative of any company and of course the government has that attitude towards customers. I grew up in Austria, which was just that. For example, when I would go to the post office to get a fresh supply of certain...

To be honest, I never quite found the time to seriously get into poker. But I actually learned how to play blackjack profitably. The catch of course is that the casinos have computer programs now that monitor everyone who bets $25 or more at a time, so I can't make a living playing blackjack...

A very sad point of view, but after living amongst humans for 27 years, I have come to share it.

But it's only the tip of the iceberg. It would be so simple to implement such a procedure that there must be a reason for the exchanges and ECNs not to do it. I think we all know what that reason is.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if there is a known algorithm to determine which trades will be busted, why are orders executed in the first place?

That's a lie which is very popular in totalitarian political systems. And it has a very convenient implication: The jew/homosexual/capitalist/Iraqi/pacifist/etc. has not done anything for me lately, so his being a human with a right to life, freedom, etc. need not be respected. Fear is...

Yes, you just have to be careful to get the "regular" 3% one, not the 30% or 33%, which would destroy the mucous membranes in your mouth within fractions of a second. What it does is very simple: It breaks down into water and oxygen. The water is completely harmless, and the oxygen destroys...

The only time I went to the Online Trading expo was in 2001, when I was just starting to become interested in trading. I distinctly remember two things: 1. Wizetrade. I didn't know anything about trading, but those red and green lights filled me with doubt, so I asked the guy who was doing...

That's a good point. I have often wondered if there is anyone who can explain the effects of that particular number on the stock market. Anyone?

Again I'll touch the green green grass of home.

If you must know, I take a small quantity of it and try to keep it in my mouth for 5 to 30 minutes. But to each his own. I am sure there are products out there that do the job just as well and are only slightly more toxic, while costing about 1000% more. Or you can always stop eating (and...

Good to know. Thank you for your research. It would have taken me decades to make sure there was absolutely no-one else who thinks that. I don't know how you do it, but you have saved me a lot of work!

WTG! We aim to depress.

It is a solution of roughly 3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water. Comes in brown bottles.
