I just wanted to comment that I believe widening income inequality isn't necessarily a reflection of economic direction. More than anything it is a resultant of the age of the capitalist system. If you think of a population forming a distribution curve that curve becomes more defined and...

Do Dark Pools affect price or is the market unaffected by their volume? If price isn't affected this is a way for institutional traders to trade size and not get killed on the fill. IF that's true it sounds like a fairly large advantage to me. If not ignore my complaint. This also allows for...

I guess I just don't understand how this system would work. If we run out of gold in a year then who do they sell the rest of their oil to? Great they have gold, but it is still only equivalent to a years with of oil production. Can they purchase things in gold? They would still have to sell the...

seriously 3 years later? anyways it appears that he takes break out trades. buy at close over resistance, sell at close under support. SL below or above structure high/low.

Learning to trade, but still in school. Just an Econ major with a good bit of math and statistics work. I have no vested interest in keeping algo's alive. Merely an observation.

I believe I quoted the range of their electric motors on batteries to be a couple hundred miles. That happened between Japan and Taiwan. Within the range of a diesel electric running silent on batteries. The difference between that and crossing the Pacific is significant. Although I was...

I only used his comments which said the armaments were torpedoes. I see that it says missiles next to it. I have spoken too quickly twice, but if you continue to think that China would risk war with the US at this stage in the game you are crazy. China is mad because they need to stall another...

I thought I would add that this class is still incapable of vertical missile launches.

I stand corrected. But do you really think they are willing to risk a full scale deep water naval war with the United States because they may have 5 subs? US Navy 433,500 personnel 289 ships 3,700+ aircraft 11 Aircraft carriers 10 Amphibious assault ships 9 Amphibious transport docks...

Genuinely not even a remote possibility. The Chinese navy has no where near these capabilities as they only have diesel electric submarines. They are extremely loud when running on diesel engines and only capable of going a few hundred miles when running on batteries. Furthermore, the Atlantic...

What human would have stepped in front of a 1000 point DOW drop? Only an algorithm calculating it as a six sigma event would have executed in that environment. The market broke major resistance that day, it would have dropped hard even without algo's. The question is would it have come back so...

I mean I don't know who voted for him, but in all fairness he never imagined he would end up where he is. He was just a guy down on his luck. Let him enjoy his fame. It seems like the guy really needed a break. I'm sure this experience will change his life. A democrat wasn't winning that seat...

Definitely not strange. Think military. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/oct/20/chinas-rare-earth-monopoly/

I agree, we are capable of producing and refining these elements. Unfortunately, it will take at least a decade if we start now to get production to the point where it is at all significant. Again, we better hope we have significant stock piles if we intend to wage any new wars.

Who cares about prices? The main point of this article is that rare earth minerals are a major link in the military supply chain. China produces 97% of the worlds rare earth minerals. This was a strategic move that will play a significant role in world politics for the foreseeable future. It is...

I respect your opinion, but I just wanted to put in my two cents. Economic prosperity is directly correlated with a decline in the population replacement number. A number of 2.1 children per woman is required to keep population constant. The United States is just above this number and declining...

And here is the best college education you could ever recieve. Information singularity is going to change the world. http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page

IMO Higher education is definately a bubble. If you think about it, this was bound to happen and was undeniably encouraged at every level of our economic and social system. Increasing college participation rates created an entire new section of the economy. The local school near my home town has...

good idea minus cops.

My question is are you sure you are interpreting the oscillator correctly? The way I would read something like that tells a completely different story. Maybe a short term retracement but what does that much of an extreme tell you? I feel more compelled than ever that we aren't going to take out...
