    Trader Monthly RIP

    This was the only magazine I actually looked forward to getting and reading. The only other two magazines I ever liked as much as this were Omni and Discover back in the 80s. Any body have the complete set, or willing to part with some issues? I'm trying to collect the it...

    Well, it hasn't gone up as much as I had hoped, but a $2+ profit isn't bad!

    Consensus on C Tomorrow

    Will it shoot up $5 or tank to $2 at the open? I hope it goes up, cause I got my life savings in this thing.

    Pope criticises pursuit of wealth

    We should be grateful for the Catholic Church. Without it we'd all be wearing turbans, worshipping Allah. Without it capitalism and free markets would not exist as we know them. Capitalism flourished in Catholic cities like Venice. Without it we would not have modern science. Many of...

    Why predict?

    Something can be random AND have trends. If you flip a coin 1000 times and plot it (heads add 1, tails subtract 1), you will see some nice trends, including many of the formations you see on stock charts like head and shoulders. lux

    Quant?

    I got my everning MBA at Baruch and have fond memories. That was before the new vertical campus and I had to trudge around to three different buildings. My favorite was when my last class was on the 20th floor, and you you couldn't catch an elevator because of the crowds so you had to walk...

    Fidelity caved in to public pressure

    Everybody wanted companies to divest from South Africa in the 90s. South Africa was a first world nation back then with a booming economy. Soon as they kicked the whites out of power it became a hell hole. The only difference is that Sudan is a hell hole now. I guess it can't get any worse.

    Stochastics and price action

    I've tried plain stochastics with little success. I've found StochRSI to work much better, especially in the morning when the trends are clean. Does anybody use StockRSI? The only thing I wish I had was another good indicator I can compare it against to tell me if a stock is going to...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    Behe uses the example of a moustrap as a mechanism that cannot be deconstructed without destroying its essential function That's his theory. If you can imagine a way to do this, then you've just tested and disproved his theory. Regarding physics, I think its a little different than...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    Practicioners of evolutionary biology, and related sciences, such as anthropology, paleontology, etc, will always continue to publish in their disciplines, and for the majority of them, Neo-darwininian evolution as the causal mechanism for every phenomena is a given. That's why there is...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    Very interesting thread. I studied evolutionary theory extensively in college in relation to biological anthropology. I always accepted neo-Darwinian natural selection to explain what can be termed micro-evolution, or intra-species changes. But I was always a critic of using it to explain...

    lowest fees black box trading

    Hello, I'm wondering if anybody can suggest a broker, whether retail or prop, that offers the lowest fees for black box trading. The trading would be about 150-200 trades a day, only Nasdaq, at 1000+ shares each trade. Or would it be better to deal directly with a clearing firm? Ideally...

    Social Security For "illegal" Aliens

    The US is not a democracy. It is a plutocracy. The wealthy elites have always needed slave labor to power industry, regardless of their effect on the social well-being of this country. At first it was the negro slaves from Africa, then Chinese laborers during the railroad boom. Now its...

    Characterizing Markets

    I'm beginning to think that there are only a limited number of trading day "types". For example, the choppy day, the one- direction-day, the reversal day etc. The last two days seemed fairly similar. There was a rapid jump at the open, and then a steady rise upward at a gentle slope...
