The more time I have spent in trading, the more I realize that this is true. I too encourage people to stay away from trading,. The stock market and all other types of markets are treacherous. If one know how treacherous it is, maybe they could navigate the risks and maybe they could make...

This is an interesting thread. It makes me think to the old poker adage, scared money loses. If one plays the market with money that is not absolutely essential to them, they will have less emotional volatility, and greater success. Trading is very hard, and one must have all the odds...

I agree with most of what you say. Trading is very hard, and very few people here make money consistently.

What part of that simple sentence do you not understand?

Thanks for the article. I'm gonna print it out for a in depth read. However, I have a hard time believing he gives away his secrets.

I truly wish you all the success in the world. I just want to caution you that trading is very very hard and most cannot make a living at it full time.

Interesting insights I must admit. Honestly, I really really hope you're right. I'm not saying that nightmare scenario is probable, but I think it is possible. It's another compelling reason (if there weren't enough already) to short the USD in the future.

Why would someone go with DXO (or any other oil price ETF) over USO considering the following numbers? I just don't understand it. DXO is supposed to be "double exposure", but it's anything but. (all time high to Friday Jan 23 closing price) Crude oil: 147.27 to 45.75 = -68.93%...

I agree. Judges should be elected just like any other public official, and their record should be under scrutiny. It is shocking to me how soft judges are on crime.

Obama is the biggest hype job of all time. Closing Gitmo is a huge mistake. It seems like he's coddling terrorists.

I think it is possible that Obama will precipitate a trade war between US and China. This is realistic considering that Geithner has been calling China a currency manipulator before he was even in office. Also, China has been voicing its discomfort with Obama. This trade war could lead...

Just accept the fact that there are alot of very very rude people on here. It can be a cynical, arrogant bunch. However, be happy that Elite trader has the best ignore function of any message board on the internet. I for one have absolutely no problem with the trolls here. I just ignore...

Trading CL or QM is not an option for small time traders. The size is simply too big. The best way is through USO. It offers the best correlation. DXO offers very poor correlation. Do the math and you'll see that it's true. Since you too are also in Canada, STAY AWAY FROM HOU. It...

Thanks for that reply. I do feel better about ishares now knowing that professionals are not at all worried about Barclays going bankrupt. I still have in the back of my mind, "what if", but I do feel alot more confident. Thanks again.

Alot of Canadians on here. As a Canadian myself, I will say that the world needs America and its leadership.

I don't care what part of the political spectrum you're on. But if it weren't for America, the world would be a very different place right now. The world would be dominated by either: nazis, imperial Japan, or most likely the Soviet Union. Think about how horrible life was under communism...

Its funny when I see people arguing on Elite trader. There's simply no need for it because it has simply the best ignore function of any message board on the web. The person simply disappears from existence. For some weird reason, no other board has this. None of this "show post" stuff they...

If Barclays goes bankrupt, does anyone know what will happen to the ishares? I use alot of ishares in my trading. Just be safe, I'm gonna sell all my ishares for now. Any responses are greatly appreciated.

LOL @ Canada and England. Actually, I don't know about Mexico. Its situation is deteriorating fast due to its drug gangs. It may well collapse.
