As for making the Shuttle look like the cutty shark, several things need to happen. The three biggest are: 1) advances in propulsion - the SSMEs are still 25 years after being developed the most effecient rocket engines ever made. 2) Advances in materials - een with todays lightweight...

I think that the SS1 concept is a good long-term investment opportunity. However even with the advancse in technology a private venture could not build a space shuttle counterpart without being subsidized by the government. Now, I do agree that a smaller less capable craft that is only...

Once again not to discount Rutan for his acomplishment is truly special and he is one of the brightest minds in aviation but comparing space ship one to the the Space Shuttle is like comparing a bicycle to medivac helicopter. Two totally diferent operational concepts and capabilities...

There is a dramiatic difference between SpaceShip One and the Shuttle. Not to discount what Burt Rutan has done because I belive it is to date one of the greatest achievements of modern flight but it in no way compares to the Shuttle. Private industry will be many decades away from having a...

It's all a conspiracy, the Jews are taking over the world. Stop them now while there is still time lest you be there to witness the destruction they will cause.

Try a mini forex account (10k lots) or at Oanda which has no minimum size order. Never trader anything but forex so I am baised.

Oanda suits me quite well. Their charts are a little lacking (but are improving) so that is why I use metatrader for charts.

In afganistan we are fighting the Taliban (terrorists) in Iraq we are fighting those who were once a menace to to their society (former regime personnel/terrorists), those who are afraid that a democracy would marginalize their influence over the people (Sadr/terrorists), and foreign fighters...

Do they just not realize that by giving them (terrorists) what they want may be easier in the short term but far more damaging in the long run? Are people in general really that short sighted or have they just lost their spine?

Just off of the top of my head I have seen the 1hr chart time frame, stops that can be modified from the chart, and an indicator or two that were suggested to OANDA appear on the demo and then after testing with the software they were moved to the live version. I am not sure but just...

Sulong, I have been trading with OANDA for a litle over 6 months now and will answer your questions from what I understand. 1) There is a way to capture just the chart. You can open a seperate chart that is just for charting adn use the print screen on it. Check the message board at...

I think that if 1 loss can wipe out 20 winners then you need to work on your money management and risk parameters. I have herd on this board that it does take 4-6 years to make it as a trader, but it also takes several years to make it at anything beyond flipping burgers. I was also once...

Just a thought, instead of thinking in terms of dollars, think in terms of percent of account balance. If you have 10k and are risking 1% ($100) for each trade then when you have 20k in your account you can still risk 1% but it is now $200. While you have increased your $ risk twofold, your...

I am in graduate school and learning to trade. I do not have a mentor but then again I have so little time avaiable that at this stage of the game it would be hard to have a full time mentor. I would like someone to kind of bounce the days or weeks activity off of and to have a meaningful...

I haven't had any problems that caused me to bust a trade. I do not use them as a broker so I always use my broker provided charts as well. I found out today that one of the reasons I was having connection problems is that I was using thier backup server instead of thier primary server...

I use use it and am pleased. however for the past day the data feed has had periods of severe lag. sometimes I can;t even connect to get a feed. This happens about once every couple of months. Other than that it has been a wonderfull tool. and the best part is that it is free.

AAA makes a great point on classroom discipline. This is another area were unfortunately I have seen too many problems through experience. In the schools my kids go to as well as the schools where I have friends that teach the teachers are powerless to attempt to control an unruly student...

I have first hand experience of how a good teacher can improve a bad student. However, the biggest improvement comes from the involvement and interest of the parents. Without strong parental support and involvement money spent is usually money wasted. That is a fact from seeing it over...

This is more of a venting session for me than anything else. On the side I ope that others can learn form it. This week was a rough week (-5.5%) but still within my loss limits that I have set. Now why did I lose so much this week? Because I sabotaged myself. After having a couple...

It good that you made a few pips eventhough you were wrong, but did you go long the dollar afterwards?
