Yes, it's down. Problem at the exchange, according to IB.

US stocks are cheap, and cheaper still now with the $US dollar as low as it is. P/E ratios make quality stocks a steal. And, besides, what other asset classes would you buy into? Gold? Oil? Real estate? Other commodities? Nah, stocks are the pick of the crop. Fundies will try to...

Dude, Get back in the saddle. Climb back on your surfboard. Perseverance is the key to this game. This quote from Churchill helps me get me through my Black Dog days: "Success is going from failure to failure without losing momentum." Forget the past. Draw a line in the sand. Focus...

Seadog, I'll share two quotes that help me get back on the surfboard of life each time I stumble: Hemingway: "Every man has fears - those who face them with dignity also have courage." Churchill: "Success is going from failure to failure without losing momentum." A word to GodsGift...

Bears 1: the Fed 0? More of this and we're back where we started, wiping out all of Ben's hard work.

The Fed and other central banks are clueless. In Europe Trichett said repeatedly last month nothing - over my dead body, or something like that - would stop rates rising in Sept. Well, the Bank of England and the ECB left rates unchanged this week. Trichett must be feeling like a dickhead...

Vetten, Get Darvas' book and re-read it if you have to. It's freely available. He explains step-by-step how he traded, what and why. And it's all still relevant today. Some of my greatest profitable trades were Darvas-like. And furthermore, the book's a fantastic read, one of the best...

That a boy. Stuff the critics. Keep posting your great work. There's gold in them charts.

Funny how everyone wants a one minute crash course in learning how to trade. I bet you journalists, engineers, doctors etc... are never asked over dinner: "Can you teach me to be a brain surgeon?" Why is it different with trading I wonder? The other question I get is do I double my money...
