I don't understand why someone would limit themselves only to day trading, especially when your strategy is based on TA. Why not go where the opportunity is? After all, the TA is the same for intraday as it is for swing.

Runningbear brings up an interesting point-- the catastrophic event scenario, e.g. nuke in NY, 9/11 part 2, etc. It's highly unlikely (maybe not), yet it is something that all should consider. What are some ways of hedging against such an event? RB already mentioned never comitting more than...

No problem. Already an English major at a small liberal arts university similar to that one. Either it'll make me a great investor or the butt of jokes when I try to find employment. Something tells me the the latter is more likely...

And on another note, does anyone know of some organizations that track hedge fund performance? Are there many? Is there one which is very popular in particular? Where would one post his performance results exactly?

You know it's funny that you should mention that. I'm about to graduate from college, and my dad is really pushing me to go to law school, which I normally scoff at, but the more I think about it, the more I realize there may be some utility in becoming a securities lawyer. The trouble is...

How easy is it to find clients for a hedge fund? Just for the sake of discussion, how easy do you guys think it would be to draw in money if you did the following: You have a couple hundred thousand of your own money that you trade. You create a hedge fund structure then start to trade...

Make CNBC free and have analysts on 24 hours a day touting the coming year's "must have" stocks that are "dirt cheap bargains."

worthless... Simply having some association with 9/11 doesn't give value. How about a bottle of Nyquil that expired on 9/11? But that's not to say some guy on ebay won't pay you a couple bucks...

You guys still haven't answered one question. Yes, I understand that an ivy league student is more likely to be hired. Yes, I understand that they have more connections and access to money. However, in the hedge fund industry none of that matters! The only thing that matters is good...

So I'm reading through the article detailing the top earning hedge fund managers of this year. I can't help but notice how many of these people had ivy league educations. Link: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12280 Now the question is, why do so many of these...

The one common absurdity that I find in both Raelianism and Christianity is that in both cases the supreme being(s) chose to communicate their message to only a chosen few, or in the case of the Raelians, the chosen one, Rael. If these omnipotent beings want us to be aware of them, or even...

lol, you might get the chance in 18 years!

Or the need for Prozac...

GG, I agree completely with you. Check out this comparison: RAELIAN BELIEFS: Aliens flew down to earth, used their advanced science to create humans, flew away, and they will eventually come back to share their secrets with us and create a better world. CHRISTIAN BELIEFS: A ghost...

I stand corrected

I know that Oanda offers 50:1 leverage on fxgame by request. I don't know if they have the increased leverage option for the real thing.

http://www.transtopia.org Ok, so a few weeks ago I stumbled upon this link to a website for a cult. These people basically believe that because computer power is growing exponentially, in the next 20-50 years we'll see technology grow at a rate beyond our imaginations. They believe...

I don't think you can because there is no central exchange. But you can tell when the volume drops off because spreads widen.

- Greater liquidty - Greater margin - 24 hour trading - no commission - can start with smaller account (on oanda anyway)

canyonman00, I never said anything about whether the terrorists were right or wrong. I simply said they were brave. Period. If one agrees that the definition of bravery is feeling fear yet going forward anyway, then if the terrorists felt fear and went forward with flying the planes anyway...
