First of all they don't call it socialism here, they call it social democracy or "the third way". The problem is not that people don't work hard or "take it easy", that's a cliché and not necessarily true. People work hard too, you have fewer wage slaves living pay check to paycheck like in...

Newsystemtotrad, are you shill hired by amazon in China or what ? Anyway, I 'll tell you why amazon is evil, or just read the last issue of Blooberg Businessweek, it's an eye opener. Basically it's becoming a monopoly, they don't just want to offer great value, they also have an...

The point is not that they are manipulating markets, they are increasing volatility and systemic risk, and they represent unfair competition against pension funds, individual investors and traditionnal traders ( real HFT are actually not traders they are programmers, for them it's all about...

yeah used to be amazon was great, it started selling just books, Bezos looked like a nice guy . It wasn't enough I guess to sell books, electronics, dvd, sporting goods, no it had to sell everything ! Now Amazon is just another big machine , customer service sucks, marketing is intrusive and...

probably one of the better indicator of long term survival, is ET itself and active membership. This site has been around for a long time, yet something I noticed all the recent posters have registered very recently, 2010, 2011,2009, geez a poster registered in 2001 is almost an anomaly. I...

Yeah as someone said what matters is long term survival, very very few make it on that front. That's also because only a small part of those who make money derive a decent income from trading. But anyway there is no point trying to figure how many make money and how much, what matters is you ...

The market started falling on the US downgrade if I recall. I wouldn't be so sure about the Fed not being involved, it's pretty clear Bernake is up for anything and desperate. Some people say they were buying in the second part of 09, if that's the case , why wouldn't he do it again ?

What's with this rally out of nowhere that doesn't want to stop ?

I read Paul Rotter turned like 1 Mio into 6 in about 6 months when he started his firm. I think the best traders have a few stellar years ( 100- 500%) then it goes back to normal, they end up doing something else most of the time which is telling.

These occupiers are somehow heroes, I would occupy Wall Street too if I could , well for a day , I am not a hero.

you're right , when you have that kind of money, there is no reason to give to charity organizations, you set up your own foundation

why inefficient ? ETF are great to build a portfolio.

HFT traders have ruined the market. I read that it's now possible to make round trip trades in fraction of seconds (e.g.1/10th). We need some kind of level playing field , the other problem : HFT traders are sheeps, they all do pretty much the same thing. At least , since they are around...

I wonder how his options betting on America are doing and what they will look like in a few years.

I was thinking the same. And I am not sure how much experience this guy has. He should know that profiting from a meltdown is not a piece of cake, especially today with govt intervention, and certainly the average guy in the street can not easily do it as he claims. Tell you what , they do...

First of all don't say you are a trader unless you live in a mansion. Second of all work on the mansion, because no matter what , it helps a great deal. Once you have the mansion, don't forget the realities of women, don't get married. Otherwise you are much better off as a broke bartender...

com'on you just have to draw the lines properly. I am against anything that takes away discretion from the user, some chart packages have auto trendlines for example, complete nonsense from developpers who don't know much about real life TA. Besides trendline analysis is not a science, you don't...

you mean offering access to US based CTA 's ? Man (UK) has a number of programs,

The solution to me is not complicated, eurozone bonds and steps towards a United States of Europe but first with the original countries , western Europe, the thing got way too big . Then you force the Greeks and the Irish and the Portugese to cut expenses drastically, I mean drastically , not...

sorry but can't you draw your own lines ? I hate it when a developer starts doing TA with auto lines ans so on .
