Yeah, Whitman (among others) should be put in jail for declaring the air safe after WTC collapse. Chertoff has been predictably ineffective. I will give Bush credit for (finally) firing Rumsfeld and putting in Gates. It is a shame though that Fallon was forced out. He was one of the few who knew...

Well, I can only speak from my past experience but it has definitely saved me a lot of money. The rub is deciding when you should move the stops to break even. If you do it too prematurely you will cost yourself more money in the long run in my opinion (assuming you have a profitable strategy to...

Maybe you should re-think that based on the clowns that Bush has put into his administration. Let's run down a quick list of his past picks for top spots and use just that as a judge: Harvey Pitt Michael "Brownie" Brown Alberto Gonzales Condi Rice Donald Rumsfeld Paul Wolfowitz George...

Yeah, dead is probably a little too strong, but he is very high on my list of current scoundrels who need to go. His meddling in the BSC debacle was alarming, especially since he is personal friends with most of the Wall St CEOs that were calling him on Saturday to do something. Someone posted...

I'm not sure about IDEAL which is for lots less than 25K but someone on here mentioned before that IDEALPRO, which is much more liquid than IDEAL, is something like 2000 margin on a 100,000 lot. I haven't traded forex in awhile but I believe you are correct in the accounting. I believe it is...

I don't know but I first heard of them several months ago when a friend told me he was looking into one of their seminars. He found them through Ninja Trader I think. I asked him about the price of the seminar and their trade style and told him to pass because I suspected it was scalping...

thanks for the thread. excellent exchange.. trading 15 ES contracts with a 10K account is financial suicide. no wonder their past clients blew up. interesting to see how these seminar trading systems "work" and in their response to this. wow!

Sounds like a great idea... craps is fun but either blackjack or poker would probably make it last longer.

My pick is UBS because I have a thing against Zurich gnomes

It will be interesting to see what they do if indeed two banks fail at the same time. I'm sure they can prop up one at a time but if more start going at once... scary stuff

Yep.. here is the playbook for the day... Release manipulated CPI number, market soars - Check Leak news of Bear Sterns, market tanks - Check Fed steps in with emergency rate cut, hooray everything is great again...

Is there any question that these reports are massaged and manipulated?? Everywhere else in the world inflation seems to be rising...

I've been trading the 30 yr for awhile but as some have noted it just seems to be the bastard step-child now. The trading volume is going lower everyday and the movements just don't seem to be working as well as they used to. I don't know if this will continue but it makes me want to start...

Glad you feel the need to spend your time trying to "educate" us about Jim Rogers. I have followed him for years. Has he made bad calls? Yes. Has he made good calls? Absolutely. I don't agree with him on everything but the man knows how to make money in the market and has never been shy about...

The next thing he is going to start saying is "I'm under strict orders not to talk about the dollar." :D

Well, I didn't see that there were three polls started all at once until now... that's a bit over the top...a poll every once and awhile is ok

Come guys.. it's just a poll. Many more annoying thread starters than this..

Best quote: "What's Bernanke going to do? Get in his helicopter and fly around the world and collect rents from bad loans?" LMAO! Rogers tells the truth as usual. Refreshing.

LOL. Truce.. I apologize if you took offense earlier. Sometimes it is easy to go overboard on here. You seem like a reasonable person and I have no reason to attack you. Enjoy...

Come on... give Barton Biggs some credit. He said short oil in 2004... two years before Bill Miller! When it went against him he loaded up some more because he said it was just trend following speculators going against him and his fundamental analysis said oil was way overvalued.
