Isn't capitalizing the first word of every sentence part of "writing ability".

as mentioned, it is what he will do going forward that will cause this, at the current rate the debt will be 20 trillion before he is voted out of office.

Given the cynicism and attacking nature of nearly every post I wonder how many people on ET make even 6 trades per month...or about 1 a week??? next Poll will be how long before they delete this poll...in seconds.

I want to risk $100 per trade...on the mini ES that is 8 ticks.....with an option it is 100 ticks....I really dont understand why nobody here gets that it is almost as if none of you trade........lol that was sarcasm and funny how not even one post here addressed the topic of this thread...

if it continues the deficit spending: http://stockpreacher.com/2009/10/23/moodys-warns-usa-may-lose-aaa-bond-rating/ amazing what Obama has accomplished in a few short months.

even the employees thhink its a waste of money: The Business Insider wrote earlier about Goldman employees thinking the mural Blankfein commissioned for their new 200 West HQ is ugly and a huge waste of $10 million. http://www.businessinsider.com/more-bad-news-about-goldmans-new-art-2009-12

It is going to be in the 30s and low 40s here in Wasjington DC for the next ten days; with snow predicted for 3 of those 10 days. Its not like this until February here and usually not even then. Does this mean Al Gore is a genius for fooling the sheep? Ironically Obama will be...

why would anyone need to go to a prop shop to trade futures......by definition you get leverage and dont need cash unless you want to trade 20 contracts which would be nuts for a noob.

yeah its kinda like blaming obamas problems on bush for everything that happens a year in........notice the hypocracy?

My sheep indicator: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=206771574224 tells me support is decaying.internally. moveon.org apparently no longer supports the president. This group has 700 people but none of them can afford the trip to DC...only 16 have RSVPed. 16 sheep on the mall is...

Its free this week http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,665182,00.html Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference. Now, the prostitutes have struck back, offering...

Im glad I am not the only one who noticed that the markets tanked shortly after Pelosi and Reid took over. Ironically this helped Obama get elected as the crazy left used it as another chance to take shots at Bush.

thanks but I really like to keep my risk at 1% or so of my equity....with futures, that would be 10 ticks or so. I am no scalper, it doesnt fit my psychology at all. I made this post because not everyone has 25 gs....and this will allow them to get in and out a few times during the day if...

no I shorted a call.....and out of 500 or so trades this year I lost 130 once and more than 100 maybe 3 times. how do you guys ever make a trade, or decide what to have for lunch?? when going to lunch you could get hit by a bus. struck by lightning, or attacked by a mountain lion most of...

when wasnt he a sycophant, when did he have a spine? didnt all the twitching tip you off?

I trade SPY with a $1 stop, entered with my broker. I guess if it were close to my stop one day and gapped open 100 points the next morning, I could lose a max of $200 or so, manageable with my account. I certainly would not do this with google or a volatile issue but to date i think i lot...

I should of thought of this but think it works: I trade the SPY options...right now the underlying is at $110 or so this morning at 10 AM i shorted a 102 call at $10.15 just before the crash. towards the end of the day I wanted to short again so I shorted the $103 call again at $10.15...

I shorted the SPY a little after 10 am and am wondering when we will get a down move of a few points......annoyingly I was up $2 after an hour or so, but lost my connection to IB for an hour......not sure if I would of exited but...........
