    Which doesn't answer the question. But it's your money :)

    There really is only one solution for racism. . .

    “There are hundreds, probably thousands, of activist groups working overtime to bring the poorest of the poor into America, and they’re always the people who don’t particularly like America, who call us ‘racist,’ ‘sexist,’ ‘homophobic.’ Why are they bringing these poor Third Worlders here?”...

    Don't forget about the Atlantic Conveyor. And the possibility of tipping points.

    Polar Temps... warming... all guesswork

    There is also the niggling detail of putting the "pause" into the context of centuries, much less millennia . . .

    Making A Killing In Index Futures

    Doesn't really matter whether it's true or not. This is written by someone who's studied books, not the market. He'll blow up at least once, and that may be all it takes. Why do people insist on losing so much money before they begin to learn their business? They'd do so much better if they...

    The Foresight Thread

    As far as I know, no one who has studied the pdf from beginning to end AND studied W's course AND read all my threads has any trouble with this. I have asked those who claim to have done all this and still don't understand it to open journals so that I can address their issues individually, but...

    The Foresight Thread

    Sorry, but I barely have time to trade this time of year, much less re-address this topic. It's not complex. Just follow the rules. The only people who post publicly about this and who are also successful with it are Gringo and 40D, but then they follow the rules (the rest who are successful...

    And who says that behavior is unpredictable? :D Stimulus, Response. One can always depend on Jem the Obscure to head right for the food pellet.

    The Foresight Thread

    Actually, in terms of intraday trading, they're not that vital at all. Unless a particular zone or level is important to a larger group of market participants, e.g., those who are trading hourly or daily bars (or weekly), price can cut through them like a hot knife through butter, which is a...

    There really is only one solution for racism. . .

    I'd agree with this. There is a tendency (I'm being charitable here) in animals -- humans et al -- to believe themselves individually and in groups as better than others. This manifests itself in many ways: jingoism, racism, ethnic hatreds, exclusive and restricted clubs, genocide, the P&R forum...

    There really is only one solution for racism. . .

    Or eye color (remember?) People who are prone to hatred will find any excuse for it: where you live, how much you weigh, what your sex is, height (short people ain't got no reason to live), where you're from, how much money you have, how pretty you are, how ugly you are . . .

    Who Here Backtests Manual Strategies ?

    That's what I thought as well, but I may have misunderstood. You "liked" this, so I'll repost it here. Whether it is pertinent to the OP's request or not is up to the OP. Put one way, backtesting is the process of determining what might work out, or what seems to work out. It can't be much...

    Who Here Backtests Manual Strategies ?

    And if you google "technical analysis" you get references to indicators and patterns and predicting the future. That doesn't necessarily make the definition true (most of this stuff is written by people who think trading didn't begin until 1998). But one can call it glommitch if he so chooses...

    Who Here Backtests Manual Strategies ?

    Traders were backtesting long before computers were available to them. That some reserve the term today for computerized backtesting doesn't mean that the definition has changed, anymore than the definition of "technical analysis" has changed simply because most now define it as having to do...

    Author who declares "Cain's wife was an ape" files lawsuit against evolution

    Funny you should mention evolution. I was just reading the other day that the Repubs seem not to have considered the fact that a party made up largely of old white men has one unavoidable problem: old men die. So all one has to do is bide one's time . . . :p
