    The final collapse of the US dollar it is just around the corner

    I really don't want to believe this. And I'm sure 99% of the population does not want to believe this. Anarchists must be having huge parties! Oh wait they don't organize. No this is actually kind of depressing. History does have a tendency to repeat itself and I recall from a history class...

    Unbelievable: Jobless Rate For Young Is 25%—and Rising

    Too bad for those little ones. I hope by the time I have teenage kids the economy will have recovered but seeing as I'm not even married yet I've got at least a decade and a half to go.

    The rise of the anti-Keynesians

    It seems to me that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have managed to fix or even propose a viable plan of attack. There is so much disagreement and so much focus on re-election that I really don't think any effective policy will pass.

    If this is what caused the 2008 financial disaster then I'd love to see it reinstated.

    Every second $5000 or $158 Billion per year (Porn industry)

    I have to admit these statistics made me laugh. 20% of men watch porn at work??? I would never even consider doing that! Maybe its just because I don't have my own private office with a window to my back but damn... And porn seems to be really lucrative! I'd love to get a cut of that 2.8...

    Goldman Sachs Misled Congress After Duping Clients

    Its the sad truth! Goldman is a money giant who can scare the crap out of anybody who has the balls to mess with them. With all their influence behind them, I don't know of anybody who is willing to stop them.

    Who Creates Billionaires? Stocks or Forex

    Billionaires are people who found themselves in the right place at the right time and were prepared to take advantage of the situation. Better to prepare yourself than to talk idly about becoming a billionaire.

    Take the speculators out of the oil market and oil will drop 50%!!!

    The world does not stop to ask anyone's opinion. If you want to play, take note of the situation and play accordingly. Don't play by your opinion of what would be ideal. The situation will never be ideal.

    Day Trading is a destructive addiction

    Seems to me like the best way to go about it is to trade 1% of your money. This would make both gains and losses small so as to reduce the emotional rollercoster effect. Keeping track of personal trade statistics is also a good idea. The key thing is to use small risk capital and personal...

    Why do 95% of retail traders lose?

    The main thing I got from this thread is to pay attention to what newbies do so one can take advantage of their mistakes. Essentially, don't play the chart, play the men who are trading the chart.

    Killer Trading Movie

    I read somewhere that the myth came from some brain experiments on rats. A scientist was able to cut out up to 90% of the rat's brain without killing it. It definitely did not function like a normal rat. Essentially, we can survive with only 10% of our brain. People eventually warped the...

    Pros and Cons: LLC vs S-Corp

    I got this quote from a website: "In other words, you don't ever actually make an "llc vs S corp" choice. Rather, after setting up an LLC, you either accept the default tax accounting classification... or you elect to have the LLC treated as a regular, C corporation or as a Subchapter S...

    Building your own trading computer

    Thanks Bolimomo, the thought of getting a new setup has been floating around in my mind but I don't do anything about it because it is such a hassle. This looks like a pretty handy guide.

    Short term memory / long term memory

    Learning is a skill. When learning something new I've always focused on getting the basics solid before I try to do more advanced stuff. Must be a habit from years of music lessons as a kid.

    Building a team in San Francisco

    I used to live near San Francisco. It is a great city to work in. I worked in San Mateo, which is a bit south, but I always enjoyed visiting the city. You really should give a brief bio about yourself.
