That's compelling. About them being dingbats: I've long thought that the criteria for being in authority over the next person, is that you should have to be more intelligent than the next guy, because why the heck would I want someone stupider than me deciding what I can and can't do? Of...

Here's the thing: Congress unmercifully dumps on Greenspan about unemployment and other factoids to point out just how deplorable the economy is. Yet... these very same congresspeople are the ones in power, have been in power, the ones in charge, and the economy has gone through gyrations while...

To best fit in quickly, learn to just call it "Joizey". Also check out Fort Lee, although I imagine the rents may be on the high side because I heard it's a great place.

Hell's Kitchen has gentrified and is named "Clinton" now, and it's gotten chic. The rents are likewise. Lots of musicians/actors/theatre people. You may try the "DUMBO" area in Brooklyn (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge"), another art people area and a quick train ride under the river to lower...

Hey, leave me out of this. I didn't vote them in, therefore, I'm not guilty by association. Actually, as Prof. Quincy Adams Wagstaff, President of Huxley College, from "Horse Feathers". "I don't know what they have to say, it makes no difference anyway, whatever it is, I'm against it. No...

We have a huge problem in my area with that. But as much as I would love everyone, not just senior citizens, to have affordable prescriptions... when I see seniors interviewed in their homes about this topic, I always notice that their homes are chock full of 'chotkas', nonessential junk...

That how dem Dems play the game, without fail. It's almost like the old Groucho Marx song, "Whatever it is, I'm against it."

I don't think that's what they are claiming, from my read. I don't believe any of the original turtles make that particular cliam either. BTW, trend following isn't limited to entering on new highs, it can equally be shorting on lows as well. Concerning whatever you think you have happened to...

I've got the discipline, so now I'm curious. What does he consider 'risk' and what do you consider 'unreal'? And one more question, if he's out when hitting a target in a few days, is that the end of his trading until the next quarter?

While some jh posts are difficult to understand, I find the browbeating posts easily comprehensible. Were it only the other way around.

He reminds me of Pacman. Shrivels up and disappears off the screen, but comes back again...

An investment club is an investment club if every partner in that club has an equal say in how the funds are invested. If one person makes these decisions exlcusively, and the others are regulated to being 'silent' partners, that's a private investment partnership, like a hedge fund, in other...

I take it you have reasons not to close the account and open your own. In that case, assuming you can easily take him off the account, then do that. Either way you go, you have a reason to give your friend: The account was opened prematurely, before your friend could fund it. Plus, the type of...

How could it hurt? It's probably the trading equivalent to 'crawling before you walk' or 'dipping a toe in the water'. You can jump in full force later when you're more acclimated.

You know, that was something I was waiting on to see if mm would ever touch on, beyond mentioning price targets. My thinking was that if the selection was based on FA, ordinarily you're seeking much bigger gains long term. In other words, that FA could only give mm a selection viable for just...

A joint account, by law, means that 100% of that account is his, and the same 100% is yours. Doesn't matter who funded it. That account is 100% completely subject to his creditors. Get the money out now - today - and close the account. You never ever for any reason open a joint account with...

Up to 5000 shares. Then they have a rate over that that incorpoares every share, not just those over the first 5000. My mom had an account with them and we had to sell 15000 shares of a security. The commission would have been about $130 or so if I placed it as one order. Did it in small...

You're from the midwest, aren't you? Lots of down home can't argue with the logic common sensible sayings come out of the mouths of people in the midwest, and yours struck me as one of them.

To fold, you have to have been in the game and you've subjected some equity to risk. That's not at all like not initating a trade. The modem charge? Less than the cost of transportation to and from the casino and lunch at the Queen of the Nile All You Can Eat Taco Bar.

Here's a consideration: If you're at the blackjack or poker table, you're dealt the cards and have to take the gamble and work with what you've got. If the trader thinks his chances are not good, he can decide not to initate any trade, but still stay in the game.
