    WTF - Fortis, RBC, Barclays, GS - all calling for a FINANCIAL MELTDOWN!!!!

    I do not know this tax which you speak of. Why? I do not CONSUME. I have a garden, my wife makes bread and pasta. I ride my bicycle. I go to the library. I know my neighbors. I have solar panels. I plan ahead. I'm not fat or lazy. In short, I am not dependent upon the actions and...

    TRADER MONTHLY BROKE? doubledown folds???

    I think you mean to say buy buy buy. Less money spent on ad revenue equals more profits. sales remain the same as pikers who read TM don't buy those watches anyway.:p

    Stopping shorts from borrowing your shares

    The first part of the statement is untrue, the second is true. If you to do not margin your securities, then they cannot be lent out. But that obviously affects your buying power. Why do you care if "your" securities are lent out? Your securities are in street name and the whole arrangement...

    We've never had...

    How come no one was keeping track of how high prices were going during the bubble? Its amazing that everyone talks about losses in housing prices, but nobody complains about outrageous gains. Same as stock market bubble. I bet that prices are still higher than they were 5 years ago...

    CPO startup

    Can someone explain the difference between a CTA and single member CPO? Is it just in the pooling of funds vs. separate accounts? My understanding was that CPOs distribute funds to different CTAs, who in turn do the actual trading/investing. What sort of documentation does one need to become...

    Government Will Award $300 million For The Best Battery

    Awesome. Who decides the winner? Just another way to send govt. money to cronies of the politicians who in return will get a cushy "job" and shares, etc. The free market does a FAR better job of compensating those whose ideas and innovation deserve it.

    Trading from a handheld device while getting road head driving at high rates of speed on a bumpy road is generally not a good idea.

    What about the price of your home? Everyone knows that home prices aren't allowed to go down, it makes people feel less rich.:p :p

    Stop vs Risk

    Then why bother with the stop at all? If you are going to exit trades at a loss but ahead of your stop, what is the point of having one? There is not enough information to determine whether or not you should increase your leverage but based on the fact that your system seems to be more...

    Stop vs Risk

    Hell yes! What you are essentially saying is that you have a system that is profitable 97.5% of the time, with minimal drawdown. Beg, borrow, and steal and load the boat!

    Real Estate Trends

    Manhatten is a totally different animal and should not be used for comparison purposes. My friends just sold on the UWS and had to come down 12% after 6 months on the market. The problem in NYC (or anywhere else for that matter) is real estate agents. They will NEVER tell you prices are...

    Defining Middle Class Income

    Then MOVE! You can live an hour outside of these cities and take public transportation to work, live within your means, and have a perfectly comfortable lifestyle. The problem is that lazy and greedy people want what they can't afford and will vote for any idiot who will promise it to them.

    Defining Middle Class Income

    The difference is that you don't get taxed on how "rich" you are, you get taxed on how much you make. Go to flat tax and then tax consumption. Democrats are just pandering.... and trying to expand the scope of the "Obama tax cuts". They are talking out of both sides of their mouth and now...
