Counterproductive at best. I'll be voting for Obama next fall unless something changes my mind (I'm looking for the smartest candidate who has the ability to think on his feet) but rants like this from the 'liberal' side detract from the validity of making a change.

We still do have some/lots of control over the price but it will take a focused and concerted effort to bring that to bear.

I used to work with software (though mainly installing and managing) and am always blown away when I see software like that, with that support.

Seems like we should at least see the oil inventories build pretty soon - everyone I know is cutting back. Of course, I don't live in China.

Ensign rocks though I'm using thinkorswim now and their charting is enough for me. I never understood all of the criticism of Ensign in the reviews here.

I can't believe the jawboning didn't work, especially with the credibility that the President has worked so hard to achieve. It's embarrassing to me to even read about the attempt. Conservation. Alt energy. Nukes (with improved technology). Improved relations with certain oil producing...

I think if you're talking about the major indexes only, devoting a certain % of your funds to a scaling into weakness, scaling out into strength strategy is a very good way to go - in fact, it probably works 80% of the time in the intermediate term and more in the long run. I wouldn't ever come...

I have a 5th rule and it's called 'the rule of the dog'. It states simply that the best trades are those that are 'sniffed out' in a maddeningly patient style of sniffing sniffing sniffing sniffing ... walking walking .... sniffing sniffing sniffing .... walking walking ...; repeated far too...

Sure feels difficult to game but feeling too underinvested right now. Dip buyers should show up early though they might not stick around for more than a few hours. GS raises their oil price 'target' - thanks a bunch.

As far as the market goes, the more important thing is gaming the reaction to the #'s in the context of where the market has come from - for today anyway. The validity of the #'s are not nearly as important short term as the herd direction is. Those are the #'s the we have to react to today.

For today, the reality of those #'s don't matter - just our perception of our perception of our perception of our perception of what the herd will do.

True but the good thing in trading the NDX is that tracking the top 10 weighted stocks for that is relatively straightforward (compared to the SPY or IWM).

BTW - who IS shorting the NDX? :)

Detailed trader I was in between on a lot of choices but needed to pick a or b so ... I don't know. Questions like Do you trust: Experience Gut instinct were muddy to me since I think that 'gut instinct' largely comes from experience (can be more or less close to reality)...

That's odd - I've done well in the long run doing the exact opposite - buying weakness and selling strength in indexes/futures - not day-trading though.

If you think you're losing money from slow executions, you're probably overtrading.

If you're going to buy T-bills/notes (and who wouldn't want to pull that 1.75% down), you might be better off just using treasurydirect.gov (plus, they have a fun and amusing security system online - no one is getting your money out of there but you (same with IB though)). Another thing -...

OY! You presented some very good ideas for Ebay - TY! The only problem with that is the time consumingness of dealing with all of those buyers.

I have a water powered car but I'll be damned if I'm sharing the technology with y'all - I am long 10000 CL from 57.25. On the subject of this thread - just being alive is much more of a negative impact on the planet (too many parasites on the host) than trading but I am selfishly continuing...

You don't have to be an f'in vaginal sissy liberal to realize that the Iraq invasion was one of the biggest blunders in history - and that's with my conservative hat on. Invasion justification - unbelievable abuse of power with no analysis. Invasion execution - horrendously bungled for years. No...
