    Anybody buy 1000 widgets from Alibaba for resale on Ebay?

    Oh sorry...yea thats very different. I think that would work. If its any unbranded systems, parts or replacement units I think that could work well. I saw alot of people out there with very high sales selling stuff like that. they seemed to be the power sellers that lasted and built up long term...

    Does trend-following work in short-term trading or better use mean-reversion?

    Its just one tool among many and in the long-term one must use more than one good tool. In daytrading in a strong upward or downward trend there are other tools and other analytics to use. This is an elegant tool for short interval sideways trend trading used to take advantage of quote imbalance...

    markets with the least slippage

    If you don't mind newer concepts in investment and you have some time to research the best trading platforms and clearing networks, bitcoin has probably the lowest net transaction costs.

    Moving to singapore or dubai for trading

    I do love NYC and I do love Chicago. Luis, it was an us against them thing and at the time the Malay could sympathize. The Malay don't face nationalistic aggression at the street level but rather face a kind of outsider antagonism in the business and financial world. When I moved to Singapore I...

    AAPL is going down to $35-40 range

    Yea, but MSFT had a monopoly on the operating system of 85% of every pc and laptop sold from 1995-2015. And all they did was write code. No hardware issues, no china issues, very small work force and very small overhead compared to hardware manuf. It took a decade because it was a company which...

    Anybody buy 1000 widgets from Alibaba for resale on Ebay?

    I have not ever received anything from Alibaba that was not a replica, pirate, copyright/trademark infringement, counterfeit etc... The quality is often high and sometimes higher than a non alibaba (ie, amazon or jet) item. But ebay looks very closely at the trademark or copyright of the...

    The "Poor Man's" Trading Blog. $5000 or less allowed.

    rabid. There is a unique psychology trading a small account that can not be duplicated at any other time. Kind of a free wheeling, no stress, fluid, high confidence psychology and it is a great thing to do, even if one has much larger accounts elsewhere. I try to carry some of my small account...

    AAPL is going down to $35-40 range

    Usually when a stock has die-hard fans who will defend it at length (never marry a stock) is when one has to be most careful. No, it will not happen overnight and yes it will be a cash play even after its tech is old hat, but by the very nature of cutting edge technology and companies getting...

    Three charts that hint market rout isn’t over

    Really can't say anything concrete about new rout or rout is not over...but Sept and Oct still have not arrived as some have already stated above. That, to me, is more important than many other fundamentals and tech. By the way, the timing on this down turn "in late Aug" on traditionally "low...

    Automatic stop loss IB on entry

    cant believe IB still uses the TWS. They should either buy a good front end that is out there in use by many or run the licenses of one for each new IB client by default. You have newer account holders actually wasting much time on the learning curve of the shit program only to switch and use...

    Moving to singapore or dubai for trading

    Oh and yes the Singapore police are very good and do stop all aggression quickly...its true. But it all got a little to old for me and in the end I left. Bali could be interesting as a part time residence though

    Moving to singapore or dubai for trading

    cabs will pick you up near the airport, Orchard Rd, financial district, but once you live there and want to get a ride home from the Woodlands you are SOL Yea, the "saving face" thing got way out of hand. Every little bump on the subway became an international incident. And I could not seem to...

    The Monaco thread

    Yes, this is one of the better kept secrets...living in France just across the boarder and renting a small flat in Monaco to use as an office for trading. Have not done it but watching and reading this thread because it has amazing potential. In a similar topic I have been reading on the topic...

    Problems trading futures in IRA accounts at IB?

    Forgot to say, the data feed interruptions are not very frequent (usually during extreme volitility). It happened Monday morning (Aug 24, 2015) for around 5-10 minutes. Before that it was maybe back last October during the correction for 10 minutes and it does happen on Fed decision days as...

    Moving to singapore or dubai for trading

    I was in Singapore for two years trading and doing some none- trading consulting work and left back to the US just this past Christmas to live here again. I liked the city - safe, clean, good nightlife and great restaurants...but the Chinese-Singa there have been getting more and more...

    AAPL is going down to $35-40 range

    Apple would be hard to short with any real success. Funny, I used to really like my Blackberry back in 2006. Are the technologies still evolving or have we plateaued. If they are still evolving I would bet on some of the newer smaller players stepping ahead of apple and it would happen without...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    well, ...will the talking heads cheer the strong rally and for how long cuz the idiotic Fed topic will come rushing back if we fly into Sept. You would think by now (what...were in 2015 now) silicon valley would have an app or online program that allows a forum like this to run live streaming...
