    White House to Allow Bush Tax Cuts for Wealthy to Expire

    Not really. The super rich are typically for more taxes because they got theirs and they're not worried about falling back into the middle class. They're more worried about poorer people getting angry and taking what they have, so they mouth platitudes about bigger safety nets and planetary...

    Book value

    Being a slum lord really doesn't appeal to me. The reward of monthly rent isn't worth the risk of being shot.

    Invincibility zone

    Instead of asking for free psychological advice on an anonymous message board, maybe you could hire a shrink, that is, if you really do have all this money and can actually afford one.

    I just want to trade profitabily

    The light at the end of the tunnel is the realization that the real profit is in selling books and seminars, not in purchasing them. What do you think Charles Kirk makes more money at? Selling his Kirk Report or trading?

    How can I gain 50 years trading experience?

    Why didn't you trade with a simulation account first? Do you have a trading plan? If so post it. If not, make one. First step of your plan: no trading with real money until you have shown at two consecutive months of profit with your simulation account.

    Don Miller Trading Style

    I thought the deal with Don Miller was that he made 1.6 million dollars trading 600,000 contracts of ES, which works out to about $2.67 profit per contract. Anybody with the same profit margin and not having an exchange seat would have lost money using the same technique.

    If you were recruiting traders...

    I think that's the best answer right there: scalable consistency. That's what I look for in a trading system as well. I don't want a system with huge draw downs, even if it is profitable overall. Not only is it important to be profitable, it is also important HOW the profit is made. However, if...

    If you were recruiting traders...

    Yes, the corporations should bankrupt themselves. It's sort of like destroying the village in order to save it. So what if the workers will be out of job shortly after they get their raises and the company goes tits up.

    It's those phuckers in Africa, they're not doing their part. If they would stop fighting over food and buy some ipods, this depression would be over in no time. Instead of sending food to Zimbawae, the relief agencies should send shipments of ipods.

    stock price and position sizing

    Keep it simple. Allocate the same amount of money to each stock, say $5,000 for a $100,000 account. If A goes up 10%, you make 10% on your five grand and the same for B. If the stock goes to zero, you lose 5% of your account. If you want to complicate it, you can adjust for volatility...

    Does prop firm usually hire international students?

    Well that depends? Do you have a credit card and are you willing to pay a $25,000 training fee and a $25,000 deposit? Well if so, then you're in.

    The true profession of a man is to find his way to himself.

    That's the dumbest profession I've ever heard of. You want to find yourself? Look in a phucking mirror. There you are. Now go do something useful, like coding up a system that will consistently scrape a few ticks of profit out of ES. Save the new-age tripe for the unemployed or under-employed...
