With all respect to the lives lost, the only damage Bin Laden did to the US economy was to destroy a couple of 30 year old buildings worth about $5 Billion. Bush and Cheney with their over reaction cost the US economy thousands of times more damage in the trillions by driving the country...

Thank you very much makloda for the links. Both sites have some good information about hedge funds with charts. I signed up with IASG and got a phone call from them soon afterwards. I typically will avoid anyone selling investments, believing that if it's any good, the investors will seek...

I'm in Canada and I've done well investing in Canadian Hedge funds. In order to find the hedge funds that I like, I simply go to www.globefund.com and just look at the hedge fund chart compared to our Canadian stock index. If the return is better than the index, I'll consider the fund. I'd...

Although I believe that the best bet for the future lies with solar energy, I'd be extremely careful about making any big investments. Even if solar energy makes it to the big time, only a few of the companies involved will survive. Therefore you'd have to invest in a lot of the different...

I think that there is a big future in solar power. America could solve most of their problems by switching over most of their energy use to solar. It'd cost about half a trillion dollars but thats still less than the cost of two years war in Iraq at 1 billion dollars a day. Electric cars are...

It's inevitable that India and China are going to buy a large part of the North American businesses. A study of demographics will show that the generation coming after the baby boom generation is too small to look after the boomers in their old age and buy all their equities. North Americans...

Here's a quote from dac8555 on another thread titled "Better to Predict...or React?" overall i agree with you. But, I have an image stuck in my mind of a job interview i did several years ago for position as an FX trader...The guy interviewing me did pretty well...about $600k per year. had...

Any trader, successful or unsuccessful, is trying to predict where the price is going. If you're going to "ride the movement of price", you're predicting that the movement is going to continue in the direction of your position. If you're not making any prediction, then you're simply gambling.

Should be able to do this with conditional formatting which is easier than VBA: http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html

It's not just a matter of pride whether oil is priced in American Dollars or Euros. The United States has enjoyed the benefits of an interest free loan for trillions of dollars for decades since their currency is used by almost every country for international trade. If oil is priced in Euro's...

I agree and appreciate the warning but I was hoping for a different reply. Something like, try Easy Ed's Emini Trading Signals, he won't make you rich, but you won't lose any money either. Or try the one hour breakout trading method, you won't get rich but you'll get your ten trades in.

I was interested in setting up a Tradestation account so I could learn to program some automated trading. The high fees scared me too. Then I thought the same thing, all I have to do is make 10 round turns a month to avoid the monthly fees. Perhaps I could find a trade signal service that I...

Right now I'm using Excel to get data from and send orders to Interactive Brokers. I have it set up with Sierracharts to retrieve data and Bracket Trader to send orders. Eventually I'd like to simplify things and just use Excel and Interactive Brokers without resorting to the intermediate...

I've played around with automated trading for several years with limited success. I can get my different ideas to work with Excel receiving data and sending trade signals to Interactive Brokers. The problem is that whenever I test something for 100+ trades, the result is always close to breaking...

The land up there might be cheap but that's probably the only thing. Nobody with any sanity lives up there unless they have to. Just your flight from New York up there is going to cost a couple of thousand dollars. Then when you get there, if you can find a grocery store nearby, you're probably...

I'd love to set up for automated trading and have tried to do it for a long time but have never had any success with it. I couldn't see much problem in setting up an automated system. I can do that with Microsoft Excel receiving data and sending signals to Interactive Brokers. I've tested...

Just saw a new company that advertises a lot smaller spread for foreign exchange of 0.35%: http://peerfx.com

Tried Excel 2007 after using Excel 2003. I didn't like it at all. A lot of the functions were moved to different places just for the sake of change. It just seemed like what my mother used to do. She would rearrange the furniture every year just to make things look new. A lot of the functions...

Bought a computer with Vista this year and found it to be even worse than what everyone said. I gave up on the computer and handed over to my kids. The kids complained even more about Vista. Finally I had to downgrade it to Windows XP.
