or maybe it's that American stuff Saddam will use against coalition troops. Don't forget Saddam has been armed and trained by the US to go against Iran, but your little brains can't go back that far. Too bad ;)

Guys, you gotta stop your american mumbo jumbo idealistic CNN, FOX news, Jerry Springer driven minds and understand that cultures differ. America is a new country, wasn't there about 200 years ago, but France, UK (which just follows the US like a sheep BTW) and Germany have had colonies and...

I like to think there are people who believe there is a 'best' trading system ;) Makes me hope that there still is money to be taken from the market. ME??? Cynical? Hell nooooooooooooooooo ;)

wow, still talking about Mr Market "The legend", guys? As long as you keep talking about legends, they stay alive. You must be bored out of your mind, your sex life must be at a all time low, or is it your trading??? Just my 2 cents :) Study: Testing reverse psychology on the masses.

Syracuse University gots one too.

Your thinking is so simplistic it is appaling. Go and check out statistics on how many businesses fail within the first two years of operation. When you have the statistic bring it back to me. Everything in life is difficult, even finding a job is hard, I'm sure most people get at least 90%...

Nitro, good call on flexibility. I hadn't noticed you were the poster. Well, it seems you could play the oil futures story many different ways, and obviously you would want to have the best risk/reward scenario. The synthetic call seems to be the best scenario IMO. Although, what asset would you...

Just buy Crude Oil Futures Contracts and to protect yourself, you could take put options on these contracts at a level that you feel comfortable with (at expiration before or at futures expiration). If you really want to play the crude oil story with stocks, XOM could be ok. I'm just wondering...

or it might just be that you believe any little piece of information that the media feed you (and that are being fed to them by the power that be). North Korea has nuclear power, which doesn't mean they have nuclear weapons. Whether they will build one or not, you will never truly know ;)

I agree with InandLong, the market is full of opportunities. All opportunities, however, do not fit every trader, but that's the point, each trader has to find its own trading style with which he or she is most comfortable. Some people are not comfortable with losing money, even the tiniest of...

Lack of realism is one of the first cause of trader's demise. 1% a day on average is not impossible if you talk in arithmetic terms. Some people have done 250% per year (250/250=1%) Arithmetic doesn't mean anything though. If you talk in geometric terms, the figure is a lot less flattering if...

but the problem occurs when you have a high efficiency ratio and high losing streaks rarely occur (like max 4 statistically), which somewhat mitigates results when you have one losing trade between two profitable ones. Just a thought.

Ron (funny nick BTW), are you trying to make the longest one man thread in two minutes marathon ? ;)

I had this idea a little while ago, and it could work, the only thing is that you may have to be a SWAP artist to deal with currency exchange risks. But I do agree that this can be done ;)

IR is at zero. Cannot go any lower. Real Interest Rate can be below 0 if inflation is an issue, but in Japan the issue is more deflation, which means the IR is probably around .5 - 1% depending on the delflation rate.

No seriously, the best MS products ever made were Win2K, Word and Excel, end of story. The rest is complete crap, especially WinME ;) If you're happy with what you have, stick with it. I've been running Win2K for over 2 years and sometimes it's been on for two months straight (day and night)...

No, it is not due to a worm. It could be a virus which would have attacked your bios and create some kind of fatal overclocking and push up the voltage from the motherboard to the proc but again it's doubtful.

but will not affect integrity of your data or of your hardware/software. Good thing it happened on a week end night, nothing worse than having delay on feed or broker.

As you may see, even those managing large amounts of money make dumb/accidental decisions. It is hard to stick to a well balanced, sound plan especially when you have this kind of money to play with, one would start to feel light headed. Well, I'm sure the master trader has a hell of a head ache...

hope? If it's based on hope, get out.
