The only thing that I can find positive right now is that I feel like setting up a million shorts and coming back when they are at 0. Times when I get this negative have proved to be good opportunities in the past. That said, it is very hard to make a case at this point for anything more...

AAA, Just curiously, can you borrow the cash in Macedonian Dollars (whatever the currency is), convert it to say the Euro or US Dollar and then repay the loan with the depreciated currency? I know this was popular among institutions when you could borrow in Japan at 1% and Deposit in...

Mr Lobe, The "Easiest" way to play this would be to short some of the emerging market debt and equity funds. Both Emerging market debt and High Yield debt in general took a huge dump this week. So you are clearly on to something. The big problem with this is there is not a lot of float on...

My experience is the best in all of the above learn how to think. quoting Plato is not thinking anymore than memorizing Fas 105. But understanding and extrapolation are what causes progress.

Look at a chart. If the stock is going up the price will keep getting higher. When a stock is going down the price will keep getting lower. This will be true until the trend reverses. From second to second only the most skilled traders will be able to decifer what will happen next. Learn...

Kastro, The Bid is the price the market maker or specialist claims that they will buy your stock from you. So a stock bid 20.25 X 1 would mean someone will buy 100 shares at that price. The ask is the reverse 20.30 X 1 means the mm or specialist will sell you a stock for. With the...

Truthsayer, that was the funniest post I've read in a long time.

How right you are. For one, I would like to see an independent verification of his claim of 33K to 7 M. Where else would have been a better place to show us the light than his book? As is said, the only people who sell the tops and buy the bottoms are liars.

Dis, your choice of the word "dabbled" concerns me. There is no dabbling in this or any other business. As an aside, from about 8-4 I was at my computer. From about 10 until now I reviewed charts, news, my favorite porn sites and did laundry. 10-12 hours, 2 hours at the food bank and two...

I like to use it when I get a bad sunburn and need to keep the sheets off me at night.

Lundy, There are a few credits out there, but I would put most of them under the more trouble than they are worth section of my yellow-pad. For instance if you wanted to rehab slum properties in some areas and then rent the properties to junkies who would un-rehab them for you may qualify...

Gordon, There is an old saying the the easiest way to become a millionaire is to start with a Billion and buy an airline. So I guess is also could be said that the best way to make a small fortune trading is to start with a large one. If what you are doing is working, then work it. Build...

Since Dole is pumping Viagra, this is a natural progression. What else would be better with the new found virility than making a bunch of cash using Wusstrade and getting some hotties. And let us not forget Bush Sr took a bunch of GX stock in lieu of cash for a speaking engagement he did...

Unload was a harsh word, last year they came out with a Healthcare Fund. I started selling when I saw that, and have not been disappointed. riets have been good, I had a friend put his house on the market and sold it in less than a week for full asking price. Similar things have happened...

Cookpr, I might suggest getting a good after hours charting package. I like TC-2000, but IBD has some good stuff. And silicon Investor has some good screening software for free. Then find a few patterns that you like to trade like a double bottom or double top, and use limit orders. My...

Well, I helped the capitulation process after the close today. Changed routing methods from ARCA to SMART and accidently hit an after hours bid instead of just posting at the ask. When I heard the trade go off, my heart dropped. So the moral of the story is that was the final sale at those...

3dog, Not sure if you saw the interview (replay on Friday on CNBC) but he did not talk it up. He actually implied that we were in for years of stagnation. Indicating that the market went no where from like 1966 to 1981. Not to say that a nimble trader can not make money, but it will...

So tonight's special is how to pick a bottom. If they had a special on slapping bottoms I would be willing to miss my nap.:) But I am pretty sure that having a special does not a market bottom make. The only true way to "Call the Bottom" is to wait for Munder Funds to start advertising...
