    i agree 100% it is directly linked to most every product we see or touch, and hence inflation....this is 1 reason why i am bearish on 2006.

    yes, lots of people have done this and think that they are "the choosen one" the next market wizard. I was there too. The biggest mistake you can make right now is to say to yourself "i am smart, i know what am doing, and am going to increase my size and profits". Dont go for the...

    How to get a Clerk Job anywhere

    although i agree with the concept of taking risks while you can... Reputable and Prop firm are not in the same sentance on wall street. I think going on the floor would teach you more and expose you to directly connected people who you could walk up to and introduce yourself. prop...

    buying intel at a 52 wk low ?

    the RSI and williams %R seem to be decent technical indicators for INTC. They indicate it is in oversold conditions, but you need to wait until it gets buyers in before you pull the trigger. your thoughts may have some merit...check those indicators to see what i mean. good luck,
