    Second War Has Begun

    This is not the second war it's the WAR not just against Iraq but against ISLAMIC Fundamentalists and the oppressive dictatorial regimes that fund and support them. This is a process and it's amazing that people are so shocked. Call Bush slow or not polished, hate the guy for his politics...

    Bay Area Real Estate Market

    I never said World Class CLUBS! I hate the trendy aspect of miami and South Beach is not Miami. I very happy that crowd stays in South Beach. I do hope Miami Trendiness is played out.

    Bay Area Real Estate Market

    Ok all the Miami Bashing is forcing me to step up. If you have decent money and like the water Miami is the place to be. Fishing in the Keys, waterfront properties, great residential neighborhoods with actual land around your house. Worldclass nightlife and eating at half the price of NY...

    What the tape is telling..

    I don't like the look of the transports they confirmed all the previous moves to the 50 Day MA in previous times but this time they broke through the 50 day MA. I feel the same is coming for the Dow & SP. Looks like the NAS will be the first. If we have a down day tomorrow can we expect a big...

    Gary Smith challange, any taker?

    I am very skepitical of the claims myself, that there are hundreds of Joe Traders pulling money from the market everyday. The very nature of the trading enterprise dictates that there can only be a few who can make a living only trading and even less who can make a living only trading over a...

    Better Paper: WSJ or IBD?

    WSJ.com $6.95/month. Paper is dead. More informative than helpful in trading. It's a good way to see where opinion is going in the market and what the big picture is. FT.com is also good. Heard on the street is good Column is good. (most of the times) Ahead of the tape - eisinger is not bad...

    Use credit line to buy stocks

    You know you shouldn't do this. :confused: Part of becoming a good trader is having the discipline to build a bankroll paraphrasing Marty Schwartz. But if you have to ask you clearly are going to do it. The only way to do this is to request checks from the card company telling them you are...

    personal money skills

    I think the point is that the path to financial independence, and that for me is what it is all about. It's not about having a million in the bank it's about answering to no one, the path is different for everyone. In fact the traditional path of going to school, get a master, work at Global...

    MSFT info is great I've been eyeing the stock wondering why it's been such a laggard. Although, If the insider selling abates the chart looks like it wants to move to the upside. I they hadn't sold 20 Billion this stock probably would've doubled I love this manipulation, 70 years ago it was...

    Sure..in the long term the trend is up:cool: Regarding the VIX. Everything I've read and what I have personally seen the VIX in it of itself is useless as a sole indicator you need to put in context with market direction, volume, short and long term trends and correlate it with other...

    I'm 75% short, $100K

    What's your profit target on the short? Looking at the charts Short-term pullbacks on the QQQ have been worth 2-3 pts. I think there is even more money on the sideline waiting to pile in on any pullbacks. Is your target 36-35? Best of Luck
