As a practicing physician for the last 15 years, currently treating patients full-time in hospitals, I have several comments after reading all of the posts in this thread: The threat of a malpractice suit causes me to order at least twice as many tests as I would normally consider necessary...

My approach to trading is to wait for several independent variables to line up before making a trade. Volume is one of those independent variables. I believe that volume is objective, not subjective. If one or two out of five variables line up, I don't take the trade, even though "the train may...

Volume always seemed confusing to me until I discovered VSA (volume spread analysis). Now I find volume to be very helpful. I initially found out about VSA during a free trial at Advanced Trading Workshop (ATW). There are 2 free videos on the website describing a few of the best VSA...

Thanks for the hint. So Goldman Sachs receives large amounts of cash from Treasury sales and uses the money to buy stocks? Feel free to spell it out for me, since economics and finance are not my field. Thanks.

Thanks for the link to Chris Martenson's website. It looks very interesting, so I joined it. On his site, he states that the dollars that the US is printing to buy Treasuries are ending up in the stock market and is fueling the current rally. But I do not understand how that occurs. If the...

I have been a stock market bear during this entire recent 4 month rally and missed out on some pretty hefty gains. However, the 200 day moving average is starting to move up and I agree that the massive government money-printing program has temporarily turned the stock market around. However...

From a seasonal perspective, corn and soybean prices tend to trend down this time of year until harvest, unless we get a drought. http://www.spectrumcommodities.com/education/commodity/charts/c.html http://www.spectrumcommodities.com/education/commodity/charts/s.html The large...

I live in Missouri and drive by farmers' fields frequently. Thanks to the heavy rains and moderate temperatures, the corn and beans are lush and green! I would love to see prices rise so that the farmers can get a good price for their bountiful crop this year.

I will always remember a story that Wayne Dyer told when he was trying to illustrate the law of attraction. A stranger found out that Wayne lived in Florida. The person said that she had always wanted to move to that city and she was wondering what the people were like there. Wayne said, "what...

I heard Russell Sands, one of the original turtles say once that the turtle trading system no longer works without modifications. However, that may be because he teaches his own methods. The original rules can be found on the web at...

Buy TBT.

Some junk silver may come in handy to buy groceries.

Haven't all of the economic events you described also been present for the last 3 months while the ES has soared? I am just saying that the ES is in pause mode and waiting for some news event to propel it up or down. I think the Iranian election may be just that event. Actually, I keep...

If Mousavi beats Ahmadinejad in the Iranian election, it will mean that the Iranian people want to move away from nukes and closer to the West. The ES has recently gone above it's 200 day MA and seems to be hoovering at a key S/R level with dojis every day for the last week on increasing...

The Fed has already printed over a trillion dollars of new money and is using it for bailouts and to pay for it's own treasuries (monetizing the debt). It is not an assumption that the money supply is increasing at an astronomical rate, it is a fact. Plus, commodity prices are rising rapidly...

There are a lot of good threads on this site about trading. Here is one: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=113456&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 Here is another: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146764&highlight=ironfist+price+action I am sure that...

I did not really understand why everyone said inflation was imminent either, until I read this article. Below is a quote, followed by a link to the entire article, which I also posted on another thread: "First, it is important to have a proper understanding of inflation. Most people believe...

This article clarified the issue of inflation in my mind and confirmed my feeling that buying physical commodities such as gold and oil is the best way to preserve and increase wealth at this point in history. http://www.investorsdailyedge.com/inflation-is-not-coming-it-has-arrived.html

I live in a large mid-American city and almost half the vehicles on the road are trucks, SUVs and Mini-vans. Once oil prices came down, almost everyone lost their fleeting interest in hybrids. America's love affair with big vehicles combined with the government's monetization of our debt leading...
