About 9/11, I've been wondering: the forts by the NYC bridges that are staffed by the military, don't they have the assignment of being watchful and of protecting the bridges in event of enemy attack... when the jets went offcourse and flew low into NYC airspace, why didn't that prompt any...

Yeh. I'm not fighting with you, I'm thrashing out my argument. It's a stimulating debate topic you've posted, that's all. Have to do it with you... can't find any Amish people willing to get on the forum to post their views about the horse & buggy business.

I assume you're talking about telephone solicitation. Whether that's the only difference, as you say, I wouldn't know, but who cares what the difference is. The horse & buggy being crowded out had forces at play that propelled the auto industry forward. What does it matter if the forces at work...

Everyone is interested in money and CNBC provides entertainment in that vein. It gives all the tropical resort bars and gyms around the world something to put on that their patrons can all watch while they drink/workout. I got an idea. Let's go to HBO and pitch a whole new cable channel, "The...

Couldn't agree more. All this talk about now the power has turned to the consumer is BS. Why don't they just make it so that one has to opt-in rather than have to opt-out of every single business that on any given day decides it will put you on their list? The solicitors are only going to...

Fair enough. Some of me didn't want to see it, but thanks anyway.

My take on Jack Hershey is that, as most people are when they've lived quite some time and have found something that works for them, they get set in their ways as they become a strong proponent that their way is the only way to do it. "My way or the highway" is the way my dad used to phrase it...

Usually everytime I write someone I get a nice somewhat personalized letter back too, but that's not quite the same as a real endorsement. Are you suggesting your email is just that? Shall we call IBD and ask them if that letter is to be taken as an endorsement of your methods? Anyway, about...

(Oh my good god, on this I find myself in agreement with mrmarket.) Actually, even for free it's a joke.

With "changes of volume and volatility" as criteria, as per your first post? You could, why not? BTW, has anyone else other than me experienced that the multex site is just full of bugs? I code javascript from time to time and so I see what their errors are. I've written them a few times over...

I'm was thinking how lots of your comments seem more suited to Yahoo/Motley Fool/Raging Bull type sites and that led me to this question: What happened with you and Motley Fool that you don't frequent them anymore?

Thanks. I've read it - good book - but the quoted thoughts about money managers I had read some time ago in Random Walk Down Wall Street, I think it was. Should add to that thought that there also is 'survivorship bias' in the 80% figure. There, now I've tied in Fooled by Randomness.

Price itself is a great indicator in and of itself. In a sense, it incorporates all FA, sentiment and market conditions, et al, and distills it. It's not used, however, to help ascertain what an equity's share price may be 3 years down the road, as FA may be used. The problem is that things...

Feigning ignorance again, or is it possible to be a Wharton MBA yet have dismal reading comprehension skills? Great post, mrmarket. Insightful. Thoughtful analysis. Learned a lot about understanding and using fundamentals from it. I can see why you're interested in promoting your site.

I don't have a vendetta against this guy, and I don't get concerned about if John Q. Public may get burned. My concern is that ET is a site I came to, to learn from others more knowledgeable than I. Yahoo Groups, Motley Fool and Raging Bull are full of amateurish traders. mrmarket's stock...

HardRightEdge's 7-Bells/site disclaimer states that the listed securities are not stock picks, but the output of their filters, and so they further warn specifically against entering those positions based solely on their being mentioned on their site. They also state that they don't hold any of...

Inandlong, a bit of clarification, please. If these two statements of mrmarket's are meant as written, they seem to be in contradiction with each other. If, on the other hand, mrmarket's stock selections are not really in any way to be taken as informative (as per the disclaimer), then that, as...

Setting a target of a half run up turns out to give up lots of profit, then maybe you just want to exit when you see that $200-300 profit hit, or scale out some, or ride the rest of the way with a trailing stop, or sell some-trail stop the rest? Pick one method... or a few.

About downloading the MSN stock screener deluxe: I've done that before, but it doesn't operate from my hard drive; I have to download it every time I want to use it, although it always remembers my lists and their criteria. I tried contacting MSN about this on their contact form, but when...
