    What is your religion or lack therof?

    I am a Christian. There was something missing in my life before I accepted that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for my sins and I asked Him to come into my life as Lord and Savior. It is one of those things that I knew deep inside - that something wasn't quite right. I did not have the peace...

    Better ETFs to short other than DXD ???

    Thanks for the reply, do you find QID to move faster/more leveraged than DXD? Any other ETF suggestions? I didn't want to paper trade the eminis to start, as I knew I would react and think differently with real money on the line. So, I am trying to prepare myself for trading the YM...

    Better ETFs to short other than DXD ???

    I am trading ETFs to begin to learn trading and understanding price action. I watch the DOW move up and down from open to close every trading day. I first used DDM for price moving up, but I now use EWZ and FXI as I get stronger moves up even though the correlation isn't as direct. I...

    Mistake to short Friday's "Rally"?

    This was posted in the economics forum by austinp. "I traded thru the pair of surprise rate cuts in Jan and Apr 2001. Both were bonafide fed-fund rate cuts, both ramped price action as one would expect. Both sold off within a day or two which led to considerably lower lows from there. No...

    Mistake to short Friday's "Rally"?

    I'm probably like every other novice that thinks the market will eventually head back down - then at some point late Fall regain its strength going into 2008. I'm just too jumpy as I'm not used to losing money as I'm in real estate and have never lost money as I buy extreme value/fixer-uppers.

    Mistake to short Friday's "Rally"?

    Opening IB Account - Questions

    I went to IB online to start the process of opening an account last night so that I can start demo trading and watching real-time data to begin to understand and learn price action. I did not finish (but saved) the application as I had a few questions: 1. I understand that there is a...
