    Guess?

    After all the T/A and indicators and Fundamentals a good trade is still just a Guess. NOBODY (even the big guys ) know exactly which way the market(or an issue) will trade(otherwise they would own the world :-) ) Hopefully we make more good guesses than bad guesses(or we make more on the...

    Interest Rate Scenario ?

    That is certainly a plausible scenario and I agree with Greenspan trying to keep a finger in the dike. The dollar index is holding on by its fingernails to around the 105 level. If that support breaks I do not believe it will be very good for the markets. Gold did have a nice rise up until...

    GG, HATES "What Is Trading?"

    I like to think of trading as challenging and fun- the money is simply a by-product of having fun AND doing it well. (I suppose it(the money) is kinda like a barometer )

    New at trading stock

    1. I am asumming you have the physical stock certificate- this will have to be posted to whichever broker you select(by certified or registered or Fedex) 2. If the stock was bought from the company before it was public, it may very well be restricted- meaning it can NOT be sold for some...

    NASDAQ 100 Index Calculation?

    Does anyone know if the NASDAQ 100 Index Calculation is price weighted or just exactly how this is calculated?(briefly) Price weighted- I would expect ERTS to have a much great influence than, say, ERICY, for instance. Thanks.

    Anybody here trading MER ? ?

    I have what I think is bad data on MER for 9/11/02 It is showing it opened @ 39.81 (the high of the day) and closed @ 36.42. However, IF these prices are accurate, could this be construed as a "reversal day" just wondering. . . . . (perhaps the specialist just running some 'short...

    The "Holy Grail"

    To Aphexcoil, I am afraid I am inclined to agree with your sentiments in your opening post. I am not sure whether it is necessary to discuss the merits of TA- Some can't trade without it and some can't be bothered with it- Each to his own, I say. :-) It is exceedingly easy to make...

    CNBC real estate bubble

    Based on posts and anecdotal evidence, it appears the housing bubble is dependent on low(and getting lower!) interest rates. From what I can see, there does NOT seem to be any danger of rising interest rates. The interest rate trends still appear to be down as far as I can tell. Any...

    state income tax

    Traden4Alpha- You Hit the Nail right on the Head ! The complexity of the tax system is beyond comprehension- how about we label it just plain stupid. And what is even more incredible is that people(taxpayers, congress, state and local politicians etc, etc.) collectively tolerate it...

    state income tax

    Just a reminder, A close friend of mine(& mentor) who is a VERY successful trader likes to say paying more taxes each year is a good thing because that simply means he is making more trading(Of course, he or no one else wants to pay any more than absolutely necessary!) I can hardly wait...
