    predict Spitzer has been pimping Cramer

    Teddy Kennedy and Jorge Bush are pretty much the same clown, irregardless of which corrupt political party they represent. They both misspent their youths in drugged and drunken stupors, but because they came from families with reputation and wealth they find their way into politics screwing...

    C going under?

    <p>This country may be finished, but I ain't sure it is about C. The American people have done their darnedest keeping sitting Representatives and sitting Senators from the Presidency. But this year, it seems they have no choice. One of those three buffoons is going to be President. The opinion...

    In the month of February, I only traded three different stocks. I traded the same two every day. Those two were Dow thirty stocks. In the last year I have only traded two stocks outside the Dow thirty and they were listed big caps. I do some rotation, but I have only ten stocks on my board. I do...

    So how do all the "pro's" feel about not watching CNBC?

    Let us make a distinction. Losers listen to CNBC. Particularly, when they look to CNBC for trading advice. There is an old saw, that you hear constantly on CNBC, and that is traders do not want to be long going into the weekend or traders are squaring up positions for the weekend. I am certain...

    Insider Buying more than Selling; Shorts at Highest Level since 1931

    In some years, taking advantage of shorts to sustain a rally could be very likely. This year is very hard to figure. The politics of this election year is weighing on the market unlike most election years in recent times. I do not see many , market professionals commenting on the effect of...

    Don't fall into the fallacy of hard work: you actually make money for waiting.

    The margin of error in my trading favors being too late rather than too early on entry and being too early rather than too late on exit. And that is even more true with the volatility that we seen over last 9 months to the last year.

    Why Old Traders Are So Strange

    I got cellphones when they first came out. I had them for five or six years and I haven't had one for about ten years. I call a life without a watch and a cellphone, freedom. People think I am strange for not being wireless, but just what are the effects of cellphones? Would I be stranger in...

    Buying a new monitor (suggestions please)

    <p>My newest monitor is over three years old, but all my monitors are NEC with something called "opticlear". It gives that type of look that you are talking about. I was unaware that any other manufacturer was doing anything similar. They seem to be easier on my eyes than other LCD's that I...

    Call me stupid, but I were short I take some profits on the mother of all gap downs

    I got no dog in tommorrow's opening. I daytrade. I am all cash. I traded for twenty years and I have never seen this kind of potential gap down on the open. On August 9 of last year the futures were down 28.60 at the open. I believe that was even more than they were down after the reopening of...
