Well, well, well, congratulations Candleman, you've certainly been doing some homework. Glad to see I'm not the only one interested in exposing Islam for the evil BS that it is. (Here's that link again: http://main.faithfreedom.org) Certainly, let's widen the discussion. For starters, I...

And yes, terrorism does pay. Not for the suicide bombers (maybe a little for their families), but they are just brainwashed pawns. If you don't believe that there is a profit motive for Saddam and Arafat, then I suggest you give it a little more thought. Now, in my opinion that is a pretty...

RE: Perma-bulls I highly doubt any these people really believe their own pronostications. (Did anyone mention Joe Battapaglia? there's another) It's just that delivering anything but a bullish message doesn't help their cause at all. What possible benefit could there be for someone...

How do you know about the "widespread popular support"? This is opinion is based on what? Certainly not the arabs that live in Israel. I take an interest in the issue, and from the news sources I read, I gather that the anti-Israee movement does enjoy popular support. It's certainly an...

OK....Don't let the facts interfere with your beliefs. Gimme a break. As if I'm gonna turn to the propaganda site of a self-interest group to search for "facts". Is that the most credible source of information you have to back up your claims? In what way were the "palestinians" forced to...

What? Come on man! What pure unadulterated bullshit! Astonishing! The Palestinians can hardly be said to have "left Israel", when the state of Israel didn't even exist (as a recognized entity) at the time of the first Arab-Jewish conflicts. These conflicts eventuall lead to the formation of...

WHAT? OUTRAGEOUS! The nerve of some people! Expecting to make a profit!! How dare they!! Those damn breadmakers, leeching off me like that. Well screw them! Last time i'm eating bread.. :) Optional, you really, really, really do not have any idea,do you? I suggest you pick up a...

shortboy has been trading since 1996. And he has trounced the S&P according to AUDITED results for 6 straight years. Then why does his (your?) website only show results from mid 99? Surely having AUDITED results from Wharton graduates (with the appropriate disclaimers) would merit being...

I doubt they hate daytraders enough to make it not worthwile to daytrade, when you consider how much liquidity daytraders provide.

I agree with you completely up till this point. But the question isn't "why"? It ought to be, "what to do about it?" In all seriousness, it needn't be "long and deep" or even "extremenly personal". Investigate the neurophysiological structure of subjective experience ("subjective"...

No. (just realised there's an "Elite Member" rating - ooh baby, got something to live for now..)

I think you and shortboy are both full of shit...but it's quite amusing talking to you. I think anyone that would only trade one side of the market (regardless of market conditions) is a total dumbass. If you think this is worthy of praise, you are even dumber. Now, as a rule, I never...

LOL! You have got some sense of humor candleman! Babe to be!! :) More like a restraining order waiting to happen! (read his journal to marvel at the the methods of courtship he employs...he doth boggle the mind!) Ming is quite a babe, easy to see how the Hitbozo could be totally infatuated...

What's "fair and orderly" got to do with it? The only people I know of who are mandated to maintain fair and orderly markets are specialists. I'm not aware of any specialists initiating mass buy/sell programs.

I just read your statement saying that "cut your losses short" rule doesn't really work for you.. Do you mean that allowing average losses to be bigger than your average wins, in which case your system would have a greater than 50% (most likely better than 65-70%) accuracy? Or do you mean...

wrong, wrong, wrong. Should you be really giving advice on things that you don't know about rs7?

“Does Technical Analysis (TA) work?” is not even a very good question to be asking. What does that question mean? If it means, "is it possible to make money based on decisions made using technical analysis?", then the answer is an unequivocal "yes". If it means "can technical...

Nihaba Ashi, you make a lot of good points, many of which are not TA related. And understandably so. What is the purpose of TA? To give a probablity on the direction of the market after -insert your timeframe- period of time, right? A small, small, small part of trading.

A trade. If I bought a company and expected to share in its earnings, that would be an investment. If I bought a company (a business) and could sell its assets, pay its taxes and debts and still come out with more money than I risked, that would be an investment. If I lend money to a...

And that is the inherent problem. The market (to paraphrase a popular saying) can price a stock irrationally for a lot longer than you can remain solvent. Personally, I have my doubts as to whether purchasing a stock in hope of price appreciation can really be termed "investment". (For a...
