    How much is enough to retire?

    At least 4 million after taxes. Assuming you were to retire today, that amount would net you about $80,000 a year (before tax!) from a savings account. Of course, after a few years of retired life, inflation nibbles away at the earning power until $80,000 buys what $10,000 used to buy...

    End of the bear?

    According to Phil Erlanger, a jump in short interest usually signifies that the greatest part of a decline is about over.

    Mind Control and Financial Armagedon by John Kutyn ex-banker now financial analyst

    Tim LaHaye makes a fortune writing books about doomsday, and making appearances. He applies literal interpretation of biblical prophecy to current world events, that is, current to whenever he's writing, be it now or years ago, so it can change, and religious folk who seem to not know better eat...

    Is it possible to run/open 2 Quotetracker programs at the same time on one computer?

    You may want to try installing QT on a different drive than where you've got the other installed and see if that works.

    Joint Account Taxation

    My father set the account up this way so the funds would not be subject to the probate process or fees. That's usually a big reason people set up jt accounts. A much better way to set up anything like that is simply through a living trust. It bypasses probate. It has a tax advantage of a...

    Joint Account Taxation

    About joint accounts: You may want to consider the type of ownership of your account. In a joint account (with rights of survivorship?), each party is presumed to own the whole account, not 50% as commonly thought. Therefore, if you or your partner, for any legal reason, is subjected to a...

    If you could have any job, what would it be?

    It's a combination of the best things I've noticed. I'd like to be a pampered housecat (nap, get fed, get stroked) who is a musician (sleep late, have fun, drink while you work, get all the girls) owns a home remodeling business (lucrative, no need to actually return phone...

    Anyone uses or knows the Triple Screen System?

    I use it in any way. But I don't daytrade, at least I'm trying not to just 'cause my head hurts from staring at the monitor, and I want to not be glued all day long, so I'm more interested in trading the larger time frame. To me, it seems sensical that once your "favorite" time frame points...

    Huge Run Up

    So you decide not to follow the system, and what happens? One of 2 things, mostly. The position rises even more, or it tanks. On this individual trade, you will either feel you left money on the table or got out just in time. Of course, no matter which one you experience, look at the stock's...

    Adding to positions

    1. Add to postitions if they move in the expected direction 2. Buy increasingly smaller amounts of shares rather than equal or larger amounts: if there is a subsequent pullback you stand a better chance of having a profit.

    Broker for swing trading

    Firstly, it may help you to understand the difference between direct access and the non direct access brokerages, and secondly, the difference between using a browser-based trading platform and a stand-alone platform. Other than that, Brown & Co. over a certain amount of shares...

    Infomercial?

    I once met someone who was an editor in one of those "salesman opportunity" type magazines and we laughingly discussed those full page ads where the guy is pictured in front of a rolls royce parked in the driveway of a huge house, and the ad copy is always something like "I was broke, about to...

    MONK traders

    And, if you decide to say give a property to your children so as to help them along, do you give it to them exclusively or do you put it in both your daugher's (or son's) name AND their spouse ? Usually not in either name. It's typically better to place the house in a living trust, where the...

    MONK traders

    It would be great to be able to finance some worthwhile charitable projects close to my heart now while I'm alive and after I'm gone. Make a difference in the world. Leave my mark. That, and a nice beach house to retire in.

    price channels

    reactor: There's a substantial fact to be infered from bobcathy1's post, and that is that BB and Keltner will each give you different prices for your S/R. What's more, different settings for those different indicators will give you different prices. What's more, different time frames for those...

    Trading Book -- 2

    pantherproject, with all respect, allow me to suggest: A stranger is outside my door, so I call out to him from inside the house, "What do you want?" and he says, "I've got something helpful for you." Who wouldn't be hesitant opening their door and welcoming the stranger inside their home...

    Setting Up Corporations

    I'm thinking along the lines of bringing investors in on my various web projects (have several websites). Perhaps there is a better way, maybe similar to a group of doctors bringing a new doctor into the firm. I would likely need a larger group of investors though. LLC is probably the...

    hate all this prayer crap

    If God brought the POWs out of captivity in answer to prayer, then, why didn't anyone pray not to be captured in the first place? Seems to me that if I were a believer, and I was fighting in a war, that's the first thing I'd pray about every night. In fact, I'd forgo my usual "bless this meal...

    Should I route trades through SMART on IB for fastest execution?

    If it's a limit order going long, you're getting filled at market. Perhaps that's why you've experienced speedy fills with limit orders?

    Free Original Turtle Trading Rules....

    These are probably the newer rules, just off the top of my head: 1. Use profit targets rather than a 10 day low stop. 2. Enter on a breakout of X, rather than 20 or 55 days. 3. Control fear and greed with Prozac.
