Oh yeah I can, the guy has incurred more current and future national debt than all previous Presidents combined. Top that one, in less than a year. As for your sweeping generalization, he did not originate most of these problems, he just made them worse with his choices. Yeah, there's change...

The US govt made it illegal to melt currency for metal value.

I would give Obama high marks from the bankers' perspective. They have never been wealthier. As for his domestic spending and debt management, the boy needs to go to school and learn something. Nobody can get out of debt by incurring more and more debt. Ask anyone with a credit card.

For trading, I am still on XP machines, and have not been impressed with anything newer from Microsoft. Since XP is no longer widely available or supported on new machines, I'll wait until mine die, then consider what is out there. I have tried Vista and a beta of 7... neither is faster than...

I am entertained by posters who claim they make millions per year trading the YM, a vehicle worth $5 per point. Such posters never back up their claims of riches with broker's statements. Why?

Welcome to ET.

Why do you need anyone to trade with? If your methods are profitable, why not use them and scale up as you go? 2% per day profit is not that great, considering you trade every day and your market exposure is very high. Why would successful traders add their time and attention to a system that...

Just opened with DB. Their service is miles ahead of the feminist American staffs.

Respectfully, I think you are under the impression that: 1) The masses' minds are not owned by the media, 2) The masses test candidate character prior to voting, and 3) The masses have any source of right and wrong outside of fashion, their temporary emotions and their favorite public figure.

I don't give half a rat fart which way it goes, I am profiting either way; and there is not a damned thing I can do about the nation's economy, so I don't worry about it. I just prepare for the worst and enjoy the best. Buy gold and silver, prepare for events which stir the masses to do stupid...

You can lose your whole account in a margin call. Depends on how long your broker waits to liquidate your positions after your margin has been exceeded. Legally, they can do it as soon as a margin call is triggered. Practically, they can wait until your account is in the red. I know of three...

When your money is out of your hands and out where others can manipulate it, one would be foolish to not use a catastrophic stop, unless their eyes are glued to the screen, or have alerts set up to wake them up 24/7, should a level of danger be approached. By then, it is too late. Maybe oil is...

The OP's question assumes the free market is in charge of the DOW, which is not the case. Read it up. Gold is inverse to the dollar, and yet the recent dollar moves have been parallel to gold. The DOW "industrial" average is not industrial, as more of the companies in that average are overseas...

While I applaud the patriotism in these posts, and throughout the video, the common sense displayed therein is no longer a priority in american education, due to politics changing what is taught in class. Further, parents have retreated from doing their jobs to raise their children. The feminism...

I thought trading without stops was only for idiots. I guess there is nothing like watching a losing trade for hours and HOPING it will turn around... lol! Classic bonehead who didn't use stops until AFTER he bombed 25 large on the old ER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk3hmifWLhE

I asked around. It's fine for newbies. The YM is an excellent vehicle for lower-volume traders. Their performance record indicates success, and the guru fee is among the lowest I've seen advertised. Pity it's not scalable to larger emini vehicles.

Balance as of 11/20/09: $3,430.32.

Inflation is not the cause, it is the symptom. Anything of value becomes less valuable when more of it is produced, and the paper fiat dollar is no exception. Helicopter Bernanke told us years ago he would run the printing presses 24/7, so the money supply is out of control. The component known...
