How could the DEMOCRATS shut down something that helps Big Business? I thought the Democrats were for the little guy. :)

Well, Behe does not just say something. He provides *evidence* for his claims. And keep in mind, he is a molecular biologist. One of the things he says in his "Darwin's Black Box" books is that it's one thing to present evolution on a logical level (which is being taught in the public...

btw, why not disclose your rules here? :-) What could happen if these were made public? Would they stop working for you or would they be reinforced and be more true?

Science should be about a quest for knowledge, but why is it that so many scientists tend to ignore the and censor those who disagree with them? For example, Michael Behe, a PHD in molecular biology, writes that the complexity of life forms cannot be explained by Darwinian Evolution. Yet...

That conclusion is wrong, in my humble opinion. To most Christians it's not important to know that Mother Theresa was a Catholic. Not knowing that she was is not the same thing as not knowing facts about Christianity in general. Catholics may not know how many baptist association there...

Let me ask you something. Does technical analysis work or does it not? I'm confused by what I'm reading so far. I've got Dr. Alexander Elder's Trading for a Living and in the book he says, on the one hand, that you can't figure out the market since the market is human psychology and...

I like this thread and the poll. Though, I wish there was a way to ask how much money you had to trade. In other words, if one had $500 and lost it all, they may appear smarter than the person who lost $100,000, because they lost a smaller amount, but in reality, they lost all of it...

two questions: 1. How do taxes in the US work? Lets say (very hypothetically speaking) that I've started out with 10K and earned 40K this year, making my net profit 30K for this year. If I decide to keep the money (all stocks) in my account, will I be required to report this as income or...

confirmed that I can do what I asked about with thinkorswim. Though they said that I need to maintain 2000 min to maintain a margin account. So, if I don't mess with trading on a margin, I can open an accound with 3.5K then take 3K out and trade with $500 or lower.

I'd like to open a trading account with thinkorswim and understand that they are looking for a min. opening balance of $3500. Does that mean that my account should be valued at 3500 minimum? In other words, what happens if I buy 3500 worth of stock, but it drops the following day and my...

WOW... thanks for that info. Btw, what are the minimum deposit that is required for trading and how does Capital Traders Group, et al make money by having newbies sign up? Also, can there be a legitimate reason an instructor won't provide their trading statements for the previous year...

Ah.. but it's their own information, right? That's the system I was thinking about. Also, I've learned that Dr. Mel has passed away, and a new guy took over. Makes me worried about the course.

Hi Jack, not sure if you are serious. Probably a joke. How do you know what my evaluation skills are? Which courses have already been evaluated and where are the reviews?

Is this 1% success normal? I realize often times that the testimonials are usually taken right after the course and tend to be upbeat and positive for many courses outthere. Yet, if it's only 1%, I'd imagine there would be some sort of an outcry. Lets say you buy a course, follow it to...

How would you go about evaluating their (or anyone elses) trading history? And btw, where do you see them showing zero losses?

Well, unlike real estate, which in a sense is limited, what does the trainer have to loose if their methods are reproduced? Supposedly, this person guarantees that any future software updates will be included along with the tweaks.

Okay, thanks for that explanation. Though I'm confused as to what happens when you have 1000 shares and you want them sold . What price to they get sold at? for example, (GOOG) google trades at 615.15 as of 2:14PM EDT today. What if one placed the order to sell 1000 shares, what would the...

Okay, a few weeks ago I requested information about the books on making money trading. I'm getting the books from the library. In the mean time, an acquaintance of mine mentioned going to a trading class held in GA, USA a few years ago. (Not sure if I can mention the class or the name of...

Thanks for the ideas. In your example, if I loose the ticks, can I loose more than 10K and actually owe money with your example? I guess that's where more education (for me) would come in handy, but I'd like to know this now if you don't mind.

Also, if you don't mind, please let me know the anticipated expenses for a new trader. What software (if any) is absolutely essential. Lastly, knowing what you know now, and presuming you only had 10K for trading, how much would you be able to make in a year from this 10K?
