I use Penson Futures, they are small enough to care about the individual but big enough to offer access to all markets. The desk I use specializes in CTAs has been doing so for 15+ years and is really the best in the business. They used to be the MF Global institutional desk, when MFG was good...

Learn how to spell the word lose and losing and maybe it will help. Maybe you are being too loose with your entries. 5yr PS It won't, but spelling correctly could definitely help at your next job or at least to get your resume together.

Maybe its so common that no one talks about it. Imagine looking at balance sheets, P/E ratios, CEOs, comparing the competitors and then making a decision on the stock... I know somewhere along the way the investor will look at a chart to see which way the stock is going, everyone does it...

Why would you want to pay for a shell? If it really is revolutionary device wouldn't you try to get financing? (ie actually bring in money) You are full of it surfer. 5yr

"Only make consistent returns".... I think that is by far the hardest thing to do as a trader. 5yr

Thats a pretty big leap to make. Can you explain further and how long is "the very near future." 5yr

I used to be in this camp (thinking its overvalued) but I have finally changed my mind. I used to think that Facebook was just a fad that was coming after Myspace and Friendster. It seems to have much more staying power and continues to gather steam. Still, the next best thing could only be...

Historically this isn't true, recently it has been true. The NYMEX contract is priced off oil at Cushing, OK. There is currently a glut of supply there, the Brent is being squeezed more from geo-political events because of this. There has been a ton of talk in the media about this strange...

The sulfur content. The higher the amount of sulfur the harder it is to refine. And yes they used to taste and smell it to judge the sulfur content. 5yr

Here is the link http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article26431.html its not a real article its fake. Quit posting crap, you got me all excited. Also the US is trying to get China to raise interest rates faster. 5yrtrader

Yeah and I am sure they will keep the $50 million with you after you tell them you have no idea what you are doing. 5yr

If anyone is happy with your first three categories, they definitely shouldn't be trading. You can easily hit those numbers at a regular job. I beleive most people trade because they want the chance at the tremondous upside trading offers, much like an entrepreneur. Chances that they will fail...

Quiz: I am currently long and short equal amounts of every equity, future, CDS, Forex and every other market one can possibly hold a position in. Can someone help me figure out my margin requirements. :) 5yr

I don't think thats exactly what the OP was saying. If we have deflation it could be impossible to pay our debts, would be a more analogous statement, in my opinion. Investment and Consumption are what drives a market economy. When cash has more value than just a means of exchange both those...

Well walk the walk and kill yourself then and stop bothering the rest of us. 5yr

Yeah and the British have good teeth and a model economy. Pull your head out of the sand and quit insulting people. 5yr

You have to do some work on your own. Look at the 2008 numbers and compare them to the 2009, the CPI was negative YOY for most of 2009. The low was a 2% decrease in July of 09 (when compared to the previous July), but was down every month from Mar 2009 to Oct 2009... this is why Bernanke did...

So I am arguing with you based on what you have heard? And I am sure when you hear this you aren't using leading questions, like "what prices are going up?" You also won't believe the only data we have to look at (see link below.) Personally I spend less than 1% of my income on gas...

All over the place. Food prices haven't risen substantially to the consumer. The price of every consumer good has been slashed as stores/dealerships offer significant discounts. The cost of Christmas gifts for my family was the lowest its been in years, 40% and greater discounts at almost every...
