    agriculture for inflation?

    If you're buying it because you fear hyperinflation, debt would be the obvious answer. Buy now at whatever prices, then pay back with hyperinflated worthless dollars in the future. If you're asking what to do to actually physically purchase silver, go to a pawn shop. Check your yellow pages...

    Fundamental analysis doesn't work

    I figured he was referring to Yannick_Buffet who is well known for his ski mountaineering but lesser known for his equities trading strategy. :D

    Avoiding Curve fitting

    Wow, this is pretty consistant. Can you reverse action and rerun? (Meaning go short when the signal says go long) Very interested to see if we can mirror this into profit. I always need more short strategies to look into.

    Is Peak Oil a Fallacy?

    Saltpeter is the oxidizing agent in gunpowder, a major component for war tools like guns and bombs. (Stay with me, I do have a point.) For a thousand years or so, people made saltpeter out of wood ashes and various combinations of poo and pee, bat guano being the best. Basically, if you...

    Remember Kerkorian and Ford? Anything to learn from this?

    At 91 here's what he ought to do: Put almost his entire fortune into an old "American" company, like Ford. Set up a college scholarship program for Ford employees' children. Take out a full page ad in the Journal and the Times like "I believe in the American spirit and the values that...

    THE Crash Of 2010

    Everybody loves a good prediction list! He's entertaining enough, but people have been predicting doom and gloom since the beginning of time.

    200%/year for an AVERAGE trader according to Acrary, still true?

    I was responding to riverstopper. I didn't see his postcount before authoring my missive.

    200%/year for an AVERAGE trader according to Acrary, still true?

    That's absurd. If you started with 150k and made 200% per month, you would have more money than Warren Buffett in a year. If you meant a trader could generate 300k per month, but only have a system to keep a constant 150k in play, the yearly return would be 2400%. I don't doubt there are...

    Going Bankrupt how will it effect series 7 and trading?

    Didn't you get an HR manual when you started? Check that and see what it says. My wife works for a company that runs its own trucking. They pay top dollar for the best drivers, on your 2nd ticket you're gone. They have the policy where you are required to inform them immediately if you get a...

    buy stop order price

    I would ask your broker. Also, a trade that so precise with regard to price should probably be more actively watched, either by your own eye or by automated code that you wrote.

    How to research and verify trading ideas

    Talon, I haven't been paying as much attention to this thread as I wanted over the last couple weeks, what with Christmas, New Year's and getting married. I worry you have gotten away from neophytes like me. Is is alright if we back up a bit? From the posts of respected traders here, we...

    anybody else stuck in gold from $1115?

    That's cool. It doesn't take a bunch of money to drive the price, what with all the gold bugs out there that have double and triple downed. I'm in it as a trade, not a lifestyle. Buy, hold, sell when it falters as China and the EU debase their currency against USD. I'm betting on a mild...

    Americans just can't add.

    Ignorance is inexcusable in this day and age. But trivia is equally meaningless. In what circumstance will I ever need to know the location of Iraq in a tighter timeframe than I can google it? None. You speak of Vietnam (100% analogous to the Iraqi war, good for you to notice!). There were...

    Americans just can't add.

    Just curious: why should I, as an American, care where Iraq is on the map? Will that make anyone's life better or more complete? Mine? A random Iraqi's? It's just a piece of trivia. Just like knowing what song was #1 on the Billboard charts the day you was born. It doesn't hurt, but it...

    Anyone ever heard of real-forex.com??

    Just for the sake of being complete, is there a central authorizing body we can look to? A site could say it's licensed by the "National Ministry of Finance in Freedonia" but who do we talk to if they disappear with our money?

    Is 2010 the year of the food crisis?

    We won't feel it!?! I called my green grocer and instructed him to deliver some organic frisée to garnish my arugula salad for the soiree, but I had to settle for Escarole. The horror! The boys from the club are never going to let me down for subjecting them to this indignity.
