Reitberg - You are right on that communist remark. When I first read this site my heart really went out to these farmers. They are really in a precarious position. Coffee bean prices are low so what do they do? Plant more to try to make up their income on volume. What does that do? Sends...

Here's some alternative commentary on Coffee by the folks at MakeTradeFair.com. I'm not sure if I agree with their politics but it definitely shows the extent of the depressed coffee market. I learned of this site by watching Coldplay perform on the MTV Europe awards. The lead singer was...

Dr. Ari Kiev, author of Trading in the Zone, stresses that setting a hard dollar figure goal is essential to being a top trader and outperforming your own expectations. You can see his speech here: http://www.clicklive.com/NYMEX/symposium_2003/kiev.htm I believe this idea has validity for...

Acrary is a true gem on these boards. The man has given me as much help, guidance, and inspiration as anyone else I know. He shows us all that it is possible to be a top trader. With proper statistics, methodology, discipline, and above all a hard working attitude we can succeed. His recent...

Maybe you have. Is that legal?

Gentleman, This 20 something has something to add.

I'm wondering what the best move is now. I may wait for some semblence of order in a stock like IFN and consider shorting then. I'm kicking myself for not shorting this morning. Very obvious in hindsight. Ahh... hindsight. We actually won't know if this is a real transition until a number...

Hot Indian Market? Sensex is down 4.7% in the last two days! IFN, its US ETF type counterpart is off a whopping 14.5% in the last 3 days!!! Maybe starting this thread was a contrarian indicator? It seems that every emerging market manager has to be invested in India by now. I wonder...

Puffy Gums - You are correct in calling Rogers out on his record. I have heard other instances of his fallability. The guy is definitely part entertainer. I do enjoy reading his opinions and hearing his predictions though as they definitely make you think. More importantly as a trader he...

More excellent information from waggie945. That's no surprise. You are correct about the use of "structured products". The difference here is the lack of diversity amongst the products. If this "always-get-your-money-back-on-hedge-funds" note takes off it could be a potentially further...

easyguru, It seem like we've found a bona fide expert in you my friend. Thank you for the links and the additional tickers. Can you supply us with any other interesting tickers from the Middle Eastern markets you follow? I do agree that India may be poised for a very long term bull...

ET members: I check a number of charts of world markets each day. This is a process I've only started recently. Lately I have been amazed to find that each day I look at the intraday chart of the Bombay India Index (SENSEX (^BSESN)) I see a smooth upward trending slope, each and every day...

I was happily surprised to get a few PM's wanting to see that article. Below is the excerpt I mentioned: "In their rush to cater to hedge funds, investment banks are also aiding and abetting the creation of new types of fundraising vehicles that make even hedge fund managers nervous...

There is a new type of portfolio insurance that is creating a sort of systemic instability. It is that of hedge fund insurance. Various funds of funds offer the ability to insure that you preserve your principle. The fear is that if enough hedge funds are holding the same losing position and...

Maverick, do you have any links or company names where I could investigate this medical discount card? Thanks.

Just to confirm, when you say follow the side of the most volume do you mean if the bid side volume is larger than ask side volume you go a) Short or b) Long? I know this seems basic but I have seen instances of each.

waggie, You are the real deal. Thanks for all the informative posts.
