i think it was a very smart choice. i like romney, but he is so damn rich that he'd be a burden to the ticket. I don't know much about her except that she is really popular. Mac is obviously going after the disaffected Hillary vote. Could have a woman prez soon, and not the one everyone...

I believe we should keep taxes stable and only tweak them once per decade. It makes long term planning difficult when you change the damn things every few years. I'd prefer if they left taxes right where they are. We are receiving record revenues after all. most countries don't tweak their taxes...

not true. I have been at this as my sole profession for years, and my accuracy has hardly changed at all. I can estimate what I am going to make based on how many trades i make. I get a certain average per contract over the long run. This number does not change in summer markets, etc. markets...

They'd just give themselves yet another raise.

Dude, if you have 70% winners, assuming your R/R is at least even, then you are one of the best traders around. Go to a 2% risk profile and ramp up size big time (running a risk of ruin scenario with these #'s gives virtually no chance of failure). if i had a 70% win ratio, i'd make millions...

Its called the Laffer Curve, and it is VERY valid. The politicians are very aware of the fact that when you raise rates, you reduce revenue. They don't care. This is valid only in certain ranges however. Raising rates from 5 to 10% would increase revenue as it would not induce much change in...

windows itself has the ability to run something like 10 monitors? or is it 16? Anyway, its usually a matter of the mobo or slots isn't it gnome? just curious.

2 years? damn. mine expired in 1989. i'm screwed.

depends heavily on acct size. How big is your acct?

or move to the west coast and do it anyway. I have only been working the first 3 hours a lot lately, but for me, that means about 90 mins before you equity traders as bonds get cranking around 8:00 EST. Thing is, I live in Cal so that means 5am. So yes, lately I have been done at 8am...

i have Roadrunner cable. Never goes down, and its ripping fast.

my HP laptop, purchased a few months ago, does not have one. i am typing on it now, and just looked!

Absolutely true. What kills me is Clinton taking credit for balanced budgets when he was not a fan of doing so until it was forced upon him when Newt and Co swept into power. That was their PLATFORM. The republicans balanced the budget, not Clinton. This was not difficult actually due to the...

yep, spot on. i don't even have a P&L on my screen. Don't want to know (cause it messes up my trades). i just get angry if i do something stupid as in breaking a cardinal rule (chasing for example). If following rules, losses don't bother me at all as i know that situation won't last long.

BINGO!

You don't know any DAY trading pros. That is what the thread was about wasn't it? try calling Bright in Vegas (and they are only retail, but they will speak with you), and ask for their top trader. Then ask him how long he has been doing it. oh, and what he makes. Dude, you obviously...

Then you don't know any pros. What makes day trading any different than longer term? If you don't over leverage, no diff, just time frame. For the record, its all I've done for 21 years now. Full time. I used to work in an office with 20 of them, and the few I am in contact with are still...

I think its going back in the direction of 2.00. This thing was way over done. Also, Brazil is also still very dependent on commodities. If they continue to correct, so does the Real. That said, I wouldn't pick it up right here.

Anytime someone says a market HAS to do anything, I immediately think they are either a rookie, or an idiot. Equity markets, or any other markets for that matter, don't HAVE to go to any specific level. We are in a dynamic world. Things change all the time. I do agree that they are going...

All I care about is income tax. The pay as you go shit doesn't bother me, and I move too often to buy a home (don't want one anyway). Just looked it up, and I stand corrected. It was Vermont that had higher income tax than Cal. No one else. However, if you make over 1 million, Cal is highest...
