    Coming credit union debacle

    Pretty sure they keep most of their paper. I think credit unions have lost their purpose. Many started as "house" banks for factories, mills etc. Most of the original companies are no longer in operation, so the cu's have to run more like banks to survive, so the original poster is likely...

    Management plan for 5k FX account?

    I think I figured out what sssssss,ss is trying to say. By winning a contest, perhaps your skills will have developed to the point of being profitable with "real money". Still not convinced on having 4 accounts, though.

    Ben S. Bernanke, PhD, is a doorknob

    I had to laugh this morning. Watching all the candidates pose as political "outsiders", bashing the very govt. they are all a part of. Not sure if it's true or rumour, but did Hillary not have a mortgage until Bill was out of office?

    Hotspot FX

    Thank you, good article. I can't help but compare any broker in any market to bookies. Not to malign any bookies, or should I now refer to them as sports-related wagering liquidity providers? I have no defined problems with any brokers, currently. I'm testing both Oanda and FXCM. Both seem to...

    Apparently my knowledge of the forex market is rudimentary at best. Different brokers(?) use different methods of liquidity? Market makers take the opposite side? ECN's provide ? Sorry for the new guy questions.

    Oldest Profession reminds 1 of EQUALIZER

    Benoit Mandelbrot is world-famous for making mathematical sense of irregular shapes--clouds that are not round, mountains that are not cones, coastlines that are not smooth, and now, stock markets that are not as simple as previously thought. Mandelbrot, known as the "father of fractal...

    What to do with an 800 rebate?

    I'm from Massachusetts. Many people here have already forgotten about him, we realized he just needed a governorship as a platform to spring toward Washington. He left us approx $1 billion in the hole, and a "mandatory" healthcare system, of which we are still unsure how to fund. But, he has...

    Jim Cramer predicts the end to gold run

    BOOOYAH! What a dope. Still, the dope has a lotta dough. But, none of mine! I don't buy cars from dealers that yell, nor do I take investment advice from the same.

    Only beause TOS sponsors this forum

    It's just a demo account, so I suppose I can't complain, but, I can't login, their tech support is unavailable, and their main number states their office hours, which are now closed. Is this a common issue with TOS? In all truthfullness, I was with Tradestation for a year with limited success...
