Same way USA built itself up through dirt cheap labor (immigrants) into a world superpower. And I would not measure a domestic market in a fiat currency. It's about production of goods & developing domestic infrasturcture so that advanced industries can start growing. After all, we don't...

Exactly. Market just chopped YTD and is up a little on low volume and futures trading constantly overshorting it. Look just give me the institutional buying of 2003 and I'll call this an all time roaring bull market cause these Bullsh*t choppy uptrends of stocks by day traders & programs...

Ahh but there is a lot more quick money in the stock swindle game with a lot less real work. 6.53M shares short and only 20.31 shares outstanding. Even without the insider manipulation of the float, this is a short squeeze waiting to happen.

Think of it this way. In 1998-2000, do you think you should have been trading, let's say, the DAX, the Nikkei or the Nasdaq. Hope it takes you less than a second to figure it out.

Hahaha that's hilarious. Hey but seriously, it's pretty obvious to anyone who does their research outside watching mainstream "business news" such as CNBC that China is mostly full of crap. Sweatshops running on razor thin margin, supported by 50% bad loans & foreign overinvestment is far...

That was one of the most depressing yet enticing threads I have ever read. Wow and to think that someone like Hitman who seemed almost like a supertrader waiting to break out ended up dwindling away at the end of 2003. If he only knew how much worse the markets are now and how much more skill...

Joey is just suckering you in. A few 5-15 cent improvements on smaller lots and then he whacks you with 50 cent disimprovement when you got size. Regardless, I'm catching more and more improvements on ECNs. NYSE "price improvement" cannot even come close to what is given out on ECNs in listed...

Sounds like you're the big hitter. 10% of Float, that's insane. Maybe 10-20% of daily volume, I've done that several times before. I'm guessing it was an active day for this low float stock. Wondering which one.

Dude, Soros did not start out as a quarter scalping, volatility killing maggot. I'm not saying they are all like that but their "mystique" and stigma of superior minds is simply false. Just like mutual funds, few good ones and most just leeching. Just because you're a hedge fund it does...

WOW :eek:

I dunno, quite the opposite for me. Being long 6 stocks as futures are ripping and taking hits was enough to realize that there is few real buyers out there. No real support and very flimsy uptrends that get whipsawed everytime a couple day traders want to get out. Much more conviction on the...

It's just one long and tedious short squeeze. Very little conviction in the buying except for a few stocks. The correlation between futures and stocks intraday seems to be near non-existent. Just day traders chopping stocks and forcing some kind of BS trend that is to weak to handle any...

Like I said, a 17 year old getting an internship that MBAs will slit throats for. If you can't figure out that he was obviously privieleged then I dunno any other way to say it. I find it insulting that these "traders" are glorified along with major exchange floor traders as if they are...

Well I didn't have the hook ups to get an internship at Corithian at 17 years old at a time when MBAs will cut each others throats to get the same internship. Regardless, I think half of their "top 30" are complete crap as I posted the link from a thread showing just that. It's on CNBC after...

Anyone see that 21 year old? So he is an execution trader? LOL that is hilarious, 90% of execution monkeys, specialists, MMs and floor traders cant trade/daytrade their own account to save their lives. This Trader magazine is obviously full of crap...

Plain and simple, if you are trading outside of the US, you can short whatever the f**k you want. If MMs can short, then there is stock to borrow.

This is all coming from a broke wanna be trader that is reaching toward Credit Card cash advances in order to fund his trading account? Get real, why don't you make a decent living from trading first before posting any advice cause you have zero idea what you're talking about. F -Trader...

You do not even know how she and her firm trades, what if they have access to info that is out of reach to 99% of people in the world.

Doubtful, look at BIDU churn & burn. So much for 1999 plays coming back.

The $100 break was the only great opportunity I saw but I had other positions to monitor and completely missed it. I did catch a 10 point bounce of the $125. The rest was a coin toss IMO with way too much risk after slippage & the spread. My guess is that a ton of momo traders & hedgies got...
