That's OK, I'm learning a ton from this discussion. I have answers to questions that I didn't even know I had to ask. :thumbsup:

Heh.. I must be blind as a bat, eh? Those are Google Glasses. Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Vuzix, and Intel all have some version of "smartglasses" in development. Any Technical Equity Research Analyst worth their salt could tell you that. :D Anyway, the consensus answer seems to be that that...

Dear All, How do you tithe on your earnings in the market? The way I'm trading, my money is always vested in something. I do not sell out or cover; I reverse positions. If I think that an asset will increase in value, I go long; decrease, short. Example: if I'm long 500 shares of IBM, and...

This makes no sense. What if Benjamin has 30 years in tech, and produces valuable, profitable observations and research?

Thank you!!! :thumbsup:

Dear All, What is the financial industry job title for someone who analyzes the equities, products, services, and market forces in a specific sector of the market; e.g., technology, financial, pharma, etc.? Example: Benjamin goes to work every day, and specializes in the tech market. He spends...

I got jittery, sold out, and missed the upmove, but shorted on the way down and took about 0.5% out of it. Could have been better; could have been worse. I didn't want to get greedy. Thanks, vanzandt!

You have to pay to play in this game. With any of the discount brokerage firms, you are at the bottom of the list, which looks something like this: The Inner Sanctum, Uncle Sam, HFT firms, exchange co-located firms, big brokerage houses, hedge funds, other brokerage houses, prop shops, mom & pop...

Had to share this one. Yes, this is for sale on Amazon. It's also right up there with Tuscan milk and the Wheelmate for funny reviews.

(EDIT: Apologies, I missed the "non-programmer" part of your post. I will leave this comment here for posterity) If you're with Interactive Brokers, then you're half-way there. They have a solid API. You can code your stuff in C#, Java, VB, and C++. Check here...

What about cable? Don't you have Comcast/Xfinity in your area? Also Verizon. Fiber or DSL?

Well, that settles that! Good post. With all this big old money behind the Clintons, I don't see where Trump stands a chance.

*BRGAWK!$%*! (Spills Coffee...) Vanzandt, my friend, how can you POSSIBLY call for a downward march in the next two weeks with the election in two months? If Wall Street wants Clinton, there's nowhere for the S&P to go but up up up! I've been thinking about this day and night for the last six...

Imo the key underlying factor is the upcoming election. If the Santum Sanctorum want Clinton, the market will maintain its steady increase, and the S&P will continue to set new highs. If they want Trump, we may be in for a surprise interest rate increase. Although Slick Willy proved his...

O M G, Look at the difference in the campaign contributions received by each candidate! If these data are to be believed, then this is a horribly lopsided race. Sources: https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/contrib.php?id=N00000019 https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/contrib.php?&id=N00023864

Thx Deut! I'll fix that today. FYI: 300: No community involvement program. 301: Community involvement program not aligned with Judgment of Nations

Yes, another good observation. Thank you :thumbsup: I'm striving for unity in this effort, and doing my best to steer clear of denominational divisions. I'm taking a similar approach to the Orthodox Union (OU) version of Kosher; they don't distinguish among the different denominations of...

Tone forgiven. As a Christian, forgiveness is my business. :p Anyway, good question. This opinion is based on Church teachings; in this case, Humanae Vitae, and the Catechism. Regarding tobacco, the teaching here is moderation; use is distinguished from abuse...

One could argue whether a product that takes years off of its consumer's life should be on the market at all. Almost like arguing for Kosher cigarettes. It's debatable, as well as categorized "Debatable." :) Pornography, morning-after pill, contraception. Reference Humanae Vitae, Saint Pope...

All products and services are categorized into three mutually-exclusive groups: Acceptable, Debatable, and Ineligible. Firearms are currently a Debatable product/service; like cigarettes, or alcohol. Products/services categorized as Debatable cannot be rated an A or B.
