    10000rpm hard drive?

    No. The biggest difference is when loading/saving files, and starting apps. Apps that do tons of file access will see an improvement too.

    Predicting is ***Unavoidable***

    The problem here is that the map itself is a prediction in this case. A map implies you can see the road ahead. Since you cant do that in trading (you cant see into the future), your map in this case is a prediction, a best guess.

    Predicting is ***Unavoidable***

    "Prediction is ****avoidable***. Just look at the map so that you know what the turns in the road look like." oxymoron

    Is fully automated trading a fantasy? Your opinions here

    This idea that you cant make more money with an automated system using a small account is completely unsubstantiated. It seems nothing more than the discretionary crowd trying to make themselves feel better.

    Forget about a rate cut !

    Take a close look at this graph and tell me what is wrong :D Anyone who understands mean reversion will scream SHORT, especially after interest rate hikes, tightening lending standards, the crashing subprime market, and the record breaking foreclosure rates and housing supply.

    Forget about a rate cut !

    There is evidence that they cost us more in free govt services , than they save us in cheap labor. Add together the free ER healthcare which costs 10X than a regular doc visit, the lost tax revenue they dont pay, the schools they put all their kids in, and they are a net drain on us.

    A consistent 15-35% a year would beat the vast majority of mutual funds. Nothing to sneeze at. Not true. There are good and bad auto systems, just like discretionary traders. Again, only true for bad systems. True for discretionary traders too. A well written system will die a...

    90% Profitable Setup

    Aaaah Spectra, lets add to my example Same rules, flip a coin, 3 cent target, hold forever, but lets now add a stop. How about a stop 50% below your entry price? How about 25%? How about 10%? How about 1%? What you will discover is, that as you make your stop tighter, you...

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    If anyone thinks 1990 couldnt happen again they are smoking something. Foreclosures jumped 250% over last year. Less then 5% of people can afford a home using a regular loan and regular risk. Only couples with combined incomes can afford to buy a home now. Most spend an entire paycheck...

    daytrader loses it all.

    The absolutely worst thing that can happen to you when you first start trading is a streak of big wins. Your ego inflates, you think youre a genius and cant lose. What you dont understand is, that it was pure luck. Youre a guy who just happened to end up on the end of the bell curve...

    daytrader loses it all.

    He's a college student who probably wont graduate now, $300,000 is going to take alot longer than 5-10 years. In fact, it took his dad his entire life to accumulate that kind of money.
