According to some geologists, the current eruption may be only the precursor of a much bigger one in the weeks or months to come. If this happens, it could affect air traffic and weather for many months, maybe even years. Yes, I think the economic impact could be quite devastating.

Looks great.

@crgarcia: It's pretty obvious from your previous posts since 2006, that you tried (day)trading and failed. Now you try to rationalize your failure by opening 'it can't be done'-threads every other day. I think failed traders split into three different groups: Group 'A' accepts that...

Actually, EFS is quite elegant, because it follows the ECMA script standard syntax (like, for example, Javascript, Java or C++). In fact, EFS is just kind of an extended version of Javascript. Much better than EasyLanguage of Tradestation. It's NOT clunky, if you are used to this syntax...

Why even argue? It's pointless.

"This time it's different"... Seems that this false belief also applies to customers hopes about each new version of Windows. When will you guys ever learn? :D

Yes, looks good.

An attached stop order is the best solution. I would refrain from a conditional order. Just because the market reaches your limit price, there is no guarantee that the limit order is actually filled.

Peterffy is right.

Funny thing is, GLD is one of the largest positions of the Quantum Fund.

About 25% of Berlin's population live on welfare. Also, Berlin is notoriously known for it's 'left scene', which are more or less militant socialist activists. Every year, a few hundred luxury cars go up in flames in Berlin, set on fire by those 'activists'. Of course, there are also very...

Chavez is a complete moron.

Holy crap. Have you actually read that paper? It's socialist propaganda at its best (or worst). It is true that pay based on market price may not always reflect the true value of work. But what is the alternative? The only alternative is redistributing income according to what...

Why should "CNBC anchors" and the like have any clue about trading, let alone basic math? :D

Ever heard of... manners? But I should have been warned. Over 1500 posts in less than a year. Oh well... No wonder almost all interesting and/or successful people have already left ET or keep far away from it.

You have a point (but it doesn't invalidate my argument in its entirety). Regarding the ET poll: No thanks. No interest in that. The result would only be that everyone here trades and everyone makes shitloads of money every day. :D

Anaconda, I normally do not engage in such discussions, but you have at least one serious flaw in your thinking. You obviously must think retail traders/investors "take something away" from institutions, so institutions would be interested in keeping (self directed) retail traders/investors...

Works here. Also Europe.

The irony is that the skills required to select a long term successful trader are almost the same as the skills required for successful trading itself. Think about it. Selecting a successful trader is just like making a trade or an investment decision.
