Increased demand shifted demand schedule to the right causing new/higher equilibrium points and market prices. Equilibrium is not a static point. It moves around as the s&d equation changes. Increased demand during the 90's was due to rising incomes, increasing risk appetites and foreing...

An AK in the hands of an average person during a home invasion scenario is a disaster. Don't think so? Next time you go to the range to practice your "skills" run a mile before you shoot, pick your non-auto weapon up as soon as you finish, and place 5 well-aimed shots in either the T-slot or...

Depends on what you need it for. If you're looking for home protection, an AK is pretty agressive and puts the lives of your loved ones in jeopardy due to overpenetration. If you live alone, on a farm, by all means get yourself a .762 version. If you live in an urban condo like I do, with...

AK's are inaccurate, sloppy pieces of work...but they can operate in the worst of conditions consistently. Alot of the ones out and about the world are made not by Izhmash, but rather local producers who downloaded the CAD design off of the interweb and now machine knock-offs in their mother's...

It was put forth with a little greater sense of urgency. The speakers admitted that this problem isn't a new one for America, but 20-30 years ago it didn't matter that much b/c we were the lone superpower. America could fool around and waste time and resources but as long as we retained the no...

I had the pleasure of listening to Fareed Zakaria and Thomas Friedman speak tonight at my school. The key take-aways for those who care are: 1. US will get nothing done under it's broken political regime. Partisan non-cooperation will be the slow ruin of America, likened to a cancerous...

I will if we post a close that is < 21.40-21.50 in SBV09. That's a pretty important demand level. The move down from 24.85 has been pretty brisk and the range has been around 18% for this week. That's pretty impressive. Last weeks commitments report showed, for the first time in a long time...

Who's going to do it?? Our broken political system who can't make a timely decision to save their lives due to bipartisan bickering?? The self-interested party members?? The economically-illiterate congress men and women?? Don't tell me you think there should be no regulation either, b/c...

You had better factor in cost-of-carry. Just a suggestion.

I can take the multi-trillion dollar bailout, I can take the socialism of America and I can take the Cuban health care model...but now this? Higher domestic beer prices?!?! A man can only take so much.

if you put a limit order out there for 10% of the daily volume, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot. Everyone would front run you like it was cool. Iceberg order probably wouldn't be a good strategy either. Talk with your broker, gonna have to break it up.

Mental Image: Don Johnson, hauling ass off the coast of Miami in speedboat, running from drug lords who are close behind. They are shooting at him, and he's performing evasive manuevers to shake them off. He can't outrun them, as their boat is fast...cocaine fast. Tubbs is at the back of...

Hilarious, yet so true.

You buyers/sellers of option premium should get good use out of this. I've provided the CORN realized volatility forecast for you guys through mid October, although I've got it mapped out for quite some time to come. So far, so good. I use my own measure of volatility, which is can be seen on...

Don't worry, CNBC has their iron-clad disclaimer programmed into the show. Watch close, and you'll catch it.

"Nod if you're with me.....arghhhh arghuh blippity-bloppity."

Okay, today (8/21) saw lower closes in almost all of the LC futures contracts, except for LCQ09, which posted a rally in the last 3 minutes of the session to take it to +.20 on the day. Interpret that how you like, but as stated above, I'm doing this for accountability reasons, and I did...

Sounds like a better route than your origional post.

Honestly, the Gub is in the phase that we've all been in as young and aspriring traders. It's obvious from his posts that he's searching for methods and systems. We have all been there, it's just part of the cycle. As far as Gann goes, it's mostly garbage. Gann was a better marketer than...

Agreed, if 21.25-21.50 cannot hold support, SBV9 will see 19.50-20.00 pretty quick. Maybe Frank Dux will come in and give it the Death Touch.
