just heard on the radio that poverty rate in argentina rises to 58%.... just think what it would be if they actually ever made a payment on foreign debt or god forbid actually reduce the debt. this probably increases chances of cramming down the value of existing debt. then we start all over...

maybe you can get something out of this. 7 years ago i was miserable. just plain miserable. i hated my business although i made good money and worked at home so i could see my children everyday. i didnt like my wife, hated my in-laws, resented people around me, etc. i got pissed off when a...

have you tracked how many range expansion days there are on relatively low volume? ... i'd guess very few, and the majority of those id wager are to the downside (like those days when there are just no buyers). when you introduced it in your thread, i was kinda looking for the range to be the...

i trade the QQQs. i was thinking that when it gets close to the target, my patience gets short - im not looking to give up profit on a reversal. there is a volume component for me - lower volume, lower volatility? also, im less likely to go long near the range extreme - i know ill miss some...

db, your comment about staying with a trade rather than exiting just because it is profitable was worth its weight in gold. i agree with monee too. i had already realized i was taking many profits too soon and not accepting the potential for wiggle or for a trade to go slightly against me in...

looks like 1.5% of value mr. dinky... i think california's is going up to 2% of value from like .6%. there was mention of a large new tax that might impact someone trading in and out of stocks. has that been addressed?

if you are replying to me, im not a rabid goldbug.. i also realize that inflating the money supply does not create wealth and that commies are as guilty as capitalists of trying to solve fiscal ills will a little pape and ink. the title of the thread is FED, ECONOMY and gold rush... as i...

the money is not leaving solely due to war fears. i posted before, its the double whammy of declining asset prices/values and too much USD (supply), which lowers its value.... if you were a euro slime, would you be looking to buy US equities, have the values decline and then have to convert...

i think sammy chua uses one.... he spoke at daytradersUSA meeting monts ago and i liked the set-up... i have it somewhere... its like the bar's high is THE HIGH of the last 20 bars. the last bar hits the high and closes off of the high - maybe in bottom 1/2 or 1/3 of the stick. this is...

i think phil's point was intended to illustrate something and not yank your chain.... isnt your stock in consumer credit company?.... try this link and check things out... http://www.prudentbear.com/archive_comm_article.asp?category=Credit+Bubble+Bulletin&content_idx=19587 you may not...

FIRST: the gold buggers: what has been the relative performance of the 2 assets classes over past 10 years? i do not know - maybe you do? SECOND: as to your question - why dont you answer it - you introduced the nikkei to the discussion? THIRD: im not gonna argue. too many threads...

and what has been the result in the nikkei and their economy over the past 20 some years?

babak, great post! i'd like to add the impact from credit expansion and the potential for credit-quality implosion. alot of hot money chasing anything with a yield - particularly real estate in "hot" markets - and including MBS REITS, some with like 8 to 1 leverage and some are lending long...

the "war" is a convenient scapegoat for the markets. there other more difficult problems to resolve. once the war is resolved, the markets will bounce and euphoria will reign supreme. that will be an excellent time to short, unless something changes for the better in many areas of the economy.

IMF/Argentina deal: $6.78B "loan" package. $2.98B standby to cover loan payments that will be due in in first 8 months of 2003. 1-year extension on $3.8B extension of loans that WOULD have come due in first 8 months in 2003. according to IBD, this little slight of hand clears the...

i tear the tags off my pillows! :D

really? how else do you get the collars on your shirts just right?

my kids wont even eat there. thats enough for me - even if its a real estate play. when im on the road and im forced to eat there, the filet of fish sandwiches are almost always cold or tepid at best. i dont even eat the fries - the cokes are always good though. i can remember sitting...
