    World Bank Warns of Social Unrest, Serious Social Upheaval b/c of Rising Unemployment

    I was flipping through the Chicago Tribune the other day, came across the classifieds and it was four pages -- as in 1, 2, 3, 4. This included the section for nurses. Not long ago there was a massive shortage of nurses. What happened? The nursing section alone was more than 4 pages. Phew --...

    The 'Dollar Is Going to Crash' Crowd Are Oblivious...

    I just got back from Chili's and on a Saturday night at 6:30 the restaurant was barely 1/2 full. Ordinarily, you'd have to wait 20 min's. Don't know if the gloom and doom forecasts will come true but the current economic conditions are as bad as I've seen.

    Smoking and Trading

    Perhaps it's too late to edit the poll but shouldn't there be a selection for smoking a doobie while trading?

    Obama And The New Auto Regulations

    Cut a big ass hole in the hood and throw an inter-cooled twin turbo on the bastard. It will fly :D And ummm....maybe we should put wings on the sucker. It's sure to lift off the ground. It probably only weighs 800lbs.

    SEC head Schapiro salary 1.99 & 3.1 million in '06 and '07 - conflict of interest

    The SEC is almost as corrupt as the FDA. The FDA takes the cake, the Fed is right behind, and then the SEC. It would be fair to argue the Fed is more corrupt than the FDA though. Oh wait, I forgot about the CIA. Shit, can anyone name a government agency that is NOT corrupt?

    $9 Trillion cannot be accounted by Federal reserve

    Times definitely are different. It's not like you can run off to a foreign land that takes months to get to. I suppose the outlook for this country is just dismal but throughout history, governments have been overthrown. Who knows what will happen but no one should be willing to give up the...

    $9 Trillion cannot be accounted by Federal reserve

    This is all true but does that mean we should all lay down and wag our tails? What would the world be like if the early American settlers just bowed to the mighty King?

    Execution Trader Jobs ???

    I've been trading for 2 decades and turning the corner is easily the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me. If I had to do it all over again I couldn't run fast enough from the markets. Take it from a guy who has been in the trenches for a long time -- Do Something Else...

    What do u do to stick to your rules? 1. Place hammer on desk. 2. When rule is broken hit head with hammer. 3. Repeat as necessary.

    Automated trading doesn't work

    Enjoy it while it lasts because it never does but when it's broke it doesn't mean it can't be fixed. The true measure of success is the ability to adapt.

    Has ever been a profitable REAL TIME journal on ET?

    Exactly. They don't have the time or the desire to post. There is no way you can manage a trade and post it in real time at the same time. If someone wants to post statements after the fact then that carries a little more weight. A lot of journals have started because the trader wants to...

    System to stay intelligent after graduate school

    OMG! You guys need to get a life. How about shooting 18 and getting drunk on the 19th, then trolling for Ho's? Integration by parts? Yeah, I remember something like that sophomore year. Never actually used it.

    Holy Grail Journal

    If we get over 96.75 we should run for a bit. Trading the ES blows right now. Bonds and 4X are the best things to trade at the moment.

    Social Security Sinking Us Sooner Than Thought

    We're witnessing the Rise and Fall of the Great American Empire. A country can only run for so long on perpetual debt. Just amazing how Congress has raped this fund.

    If I trade ES and use 1 point stop loss, what are the pros and cons?

    Anyone who says this about trading is a seasoned trader. Very, very few understand that trading is NOT about timing the market. If a stop is your only method of managing risk you're done. Stops most certainly limit losses but they also gaurantee them.

    If I trade ES and use 1 point stop loss, what are the pros and cons?

    No one can consistently time the ES within a one point margin of error. Any system that uses a 1 point stop is destined to fail. Those who do not understand the theory of randomness are destined to get ruined by it.

    Citigroup Claims Higher Unemployment Won't Lead To Big Credit Card Losses

    You gotta wonder how the economy ever survived before credit cards. Oh yeah, people actually had to save money before they bought something. Go figure :confused:
