    US going to hell in a hand basket?

    few will believe it now, but in ten years no one will believe it'll ever get any better...the memory is short and the students are few, give it a couple of years and the Fed will f**k you besides, i personally enjoy gloom and doom - it is very entertaining. nothing like a church burning on...

    Stay with Scottrade?

    I am fairly new to the game and also started with Scottrade. I opened an IB account a couple months ago, and I now have about an equal capital balance b/w the two. When I don't have access to my cable connection I use Scottrade to keep in touch with quotes b/c it is quicker. My biggest...

    Does anyone trade only 1hour?

    Yes, kudos to NihabaAshi. But I honestly would not expect anything less from (a) someone who provides consistently high-quality posts, and (b) anyone who would call themselves a professional. I may never be George Soros (or even NihabaAshi), but I had better as shit be profitable every fuckin...

    the evil of drug war

    It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time. Simply make all drugs available and sell them at cost. Label each drug with a precise description of what effect--good and bad--the drug will have on whoever takes it. This will require heroic honesty...

    The Learning Curve

    Thanks Harry, you've done well showing the second dimension to what I posted earlier. I think athletics run many parallels to trading. The fine line between the absolute disdain for failure and realizing one must accept small failures at face value so as to learn from them, to be willing to...

    The Learning Curve

    I've been trading for roughly the same length of time and with roughly the same mindset as you until recently. After having made three consecutive bad trades (the knid of trades you know are bad from the outset no matter what the outcome) a thought popped into my mind. In every single...

    who can answer this one???

    The fish never jumped. So, take care when your actions depend on those of another for they may not act as you have assumed they would. Better yet, rely on your own and not another's actions to determine the path you will blaze.

    Karl Marx on Money

    Correction: It is the pursuit of wealth, represented by any form, that is the largest determinant of the course of history. "Money," cannot be a determinant alone, for it is but a means to an end.

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    One could probably employ some Game Theory, eg: Sklansky's Hold'Em For Advanced Players (Ch. 12?). Not easy, but it's a start.

    How to deal with those non-Americans messing with threads on American National Intere

    Indifference to all, and to all a good night. I would suggest searching for a greater sense of balance, for either course of action: engaging or ingnoring if taken to an extreme will yield less than optimal results. On the one side, engaging every word of any would be detractor is a...
