Ok, let's deduct an answer out of these questions. What attempt have you made up till now to find a mentor outside of et? And why would you post for one on a site that based on your past threads you would know is obviously full of trolls? I was where you were once and I would never seek...

Seeking mutual adulation and, trying to take the guard down a bit. A poker player reaching out to a trader and vice verca. I already have money so I am raising the stakes to give you what you want, they both say. I have nothing to gain but your knowledge. The chips are in, who will...

Who do you trust more (or less), a poker player who says he will pay $20,000 for mentorship or the 25+ members who have already pm'd him. Good luck to your all.

The real crime is he's 57 and obly had $180,000 in a 401k after working and saving for 25 years. How do you retire on $400,000-$500,000 in another seven or eight years?

Look at the long term retun of the dow, 6 + years. Not that exceptional considering economic and earings expansion. Just a return to moderate risk in the big cap. Put your thinking in context.

The market move down far faster than it moves up. Hovever over the long term, it has averaged up or we would be at 000. That is true on pretty much any time frame is just human nature.

A broken clock is right every twevle hours.....

No we don't need to use more oil. Advances in technololy will let us use less oil and expand the economy. This is all driven by market forces. They should let oil production be the same.

The US has barely touched it's oil reserves, just the low hanging fruit. The tree hugging wackos and liberal sympothizing politicans keep us from reaching the rest. You are right, if we keep sucking where we have been for the past 120 years we will run it dry.

Remember the mutual fund trading scandals a few years ago? This is a cover your ass move. I used to work for one and part of my job was to shut down market timers, turns out they were mostly hedgies trying to clear through different brokers. Shut em down with one broker one day and they were...

The world is awash in oil, and evidence that the world repenishes its reserves faster than we can use it. They need geopolotical tensions to keep it high. Not a concern. What is the problem is the lack of freedom and capitalism in oil prducing countries. Maybe greed is the root of all...

4.5% is greater than full sustainable employment without wage infation or massive productivity gains. Hmmm, where do we get productivity gains, technology! Present employment numbers mean nothing, look at revisions, that's what is amazing last few months and really had some questioning...

It's not how much $$$ you have it's the discipline and fortitude you have to keep coming back for more, be ready to fail till you are in you 70's, be ready to live like the Smith's, not the Jones' your whole life. Be ready to take a second job delivering pizzas if you don't make it and come...

10 years ago I walked away from trading the full s@p because I knew I was undercapitalized and the odds were not good even though I was successful for over a year and was offered a position on the floor with a local. Back then I had some demons and a 25 year old in Chicago? I knew I would be...

Hmmmm, that can be said about just about any career choice you might make right now. Oh, maybe a government job would be your speed if you do not like a competitve field.

Ageed. If it was you passion and you were psychologicly readdy you would go get 2 or 3 more jobs and bust your ass for the next 5 years and save up a few hundred thousand. Delay your gratifaction till you do.

Is $5,000 your total capital or just what you want to start with. If you cannot afford to loose it do not do it. If it is mad money go for it.

Gotta admit it gets a little further in the back of my mind every year as well. The price is getting smaller to insure against the inevitable, hence the shorts, puts etc. Remeber when people were stocking up on duct tape and plastic sheeting to prepare for a chemical attcack? Put premiums...

Ever since Seattle 99 and 911, there is a lot of terrorism concern over new year's eve. Every year a little less, that is what is disturbing. This is the first year I did not hear "security will be tight" describing a major event over the holidays. Weather true or not it will embolden the...

Thanks for the gut check. I always thought many more gave their lives giving us and defending, and the rest of the world, our freedom and liberty. God bless every one of them and all our military forces doing the same today.
