Exactly :confused: Click on the picture...

Could it be no one wants to hold over this long weekend, just in case something "happens" on the 4th?

Hey, why doesn't the SEC just ban all selling, long or short. Yeah, that's the ticket! :p

Going way way back to the first page in this thread... [...] (major snippage) http://www.iol.ie/~afifi/BICNews/Health/health19.htm I think the simplest explanation is that this "God module" evolved because it gave a survival advantage to the group, if not necessarily the individuals in...

But what does that mean? As soon as you think you know the characteristics of that God, you are stepping into the realm of religion, even if it's your own personal one. What's the point of having faith in a God you can't know anything about?

Maybe not, but it is popular among creationists who want to discredit evolutionary theory. Besides that, there is good evidence that the "heavens" and the earth were not created within the same 6 day period. If one wants to argue that these time periods given are merely metaphors, then why...

As in the "God the watchmaker"? Created the universe and set it in motion and basically has been hands off ever since? I don't see much harm in it, but I also don't see much point either.

There is plenty of evidence for evolution in the fossil record, and in our DNA. There is also plenty of evidence that the earth is billions of years old, not thousands, as a literal interpretation of the Old Testament would hold. If anyone wants to believe that, the best they can do is say...

This must be the sequel :cool:

The only way you could have inside information on the trade is if you somehow knew which ways the coins were going to flip. (Fundamentals would be meaningless if everyone were flipping coins) The problem is, once you know this, you are going to be competing for fills with the coin flippers who...

That is freaky. I was about to post the exact same thing in very similar words, but instead I went looking up "optimal f" on the web a bit more. When I came back I thought I accidentally posted until I looked at the name.

It is simple to prove that if the markets were truly a random walk it would be impossible to have a positive expectancy. Yes, random walks do exhibit trends, but no matter what kind of system you use, no matter how tight you make your stops, no matter how much you let your profits run, you...

I would be curious if anyone checked whether other stocks which were not mentioned by Maria had similar patterns just before her picks were aired. If traders were simply anticipating likely candidates for her picks, and caused activity in a wide range of stocks 10 minutes before her picks were...

LOL I guess I missed this stuff, must have been before my time...

Is he that bad? I found a copy of his Compleat Day Trader on sale for $12 so i bought it. Didn't look that horrible and maybe I can get some idea out of it that I can adapt and use. I haven't read any of his other stuff so i can't say. The real jokes to me were some other books I saw. One...

Snake? I thought you were dead... :cool:

(Trader, unshaven, in boxers and t-shirt being interviewed in his home during market hours) .... "Look, did you see that? I just made $13 like it was nothing" .... "Oh no! I am destroyed! ... no, wait, I'm back."

It would be interesting to see how he compared chart patterns objectively, when they are so open to interpretation. A little off the topic but so often I see someone trying to illustrate a chart pattern in action, they draw in the pattern on the chart, and then they go and mark entry signals...

I've often wondered if it makes any sense to use typical candlestick patterns on an intraday chart. For a daily chart they kinda make sense since there is a natural open and close to the trading day. On a one minute chart for example, it's kind of arbitrary as to when one minute ends and the...
