Here's a link to a chart and statistics published by the National Association of Realtors. http://www.realestateabc.com/graphs/natlmedian.htm Note that the median real estate price has never declined in the period shown on a nationwide basis. There have been times when particular areas...

Good thought...but the question is, how many of those "large wins" do you eliminate by NOT taking the risk of a large loss? OldTrader

Thanks for the comments TGM. I'm not particularly tech savvy either, and have noticed that Futures Trader 71 seems to be really knowledgeable. Here's why I asked. I already have a Matrox Quad type card. But the situation is that I'm thinking about buying a new computer. That computer has...

FuturesTrader71: You've put some great technical information out regarding these panels and their workings. Thanks very much. Very helpful. I wonder if there is any rule of thumb regarding your statement above on the "software driver conflicts" on the video cards. In other words, does a...

Thanks guys. OT

How does it go 20 for 20 when there's only 6 arrows on the chart? OldTrader

Here's a quote from an article. The link to the article is below: "After apprenticing with Arnhold and S. Blichroeder in the early 1970s. Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund, a global-investment partnership. During the next 10 years, the portfolio gained more than 4000%, while the S&P rose...

Just a few thoughts on trendlines. When one says that trendlines "work" or trendlines "don't work", it implies that one is attaching a set of expectations to a trendline. Interesting in light of what Edwards and Magee in "Technical Analysis of Stock Trends" has to say about trendlines in...

If his objective is to begin with $5K, I'd forget it. He'll only lose the money. Kinda like showing up to a no limit game with $100. And no, there are not "tons who have done it". My guess is next to no one has done it. Let's look at it another way. Capital in and of itself can be an...

Probably the biggest difference is that we all need some place to live. Therefore, we are either renters, or we are owners. Most owners are owners regardless of price....until such time as they can't afford the place anymore. The reason they might not be able to afford the place anymore has...

Nope Steve...there's not a guy here who understands real estate. They "think" they understand stocks, and they "think" that real estate acts like "stocks". I have this picture of millions of people panic selling their homes that they have sub-6% loans on, so that they can go rent...

I think you gotta call that knowing when to "trend trade" and when not to. LOL. That's why I'm wondering how Rollins and his professors define the trend. If they wait for the circumstances we saw that particular morning then it's no wonder their "tests" don't work. OldTrader

Rollins: You claimed to have done some testing regarding "trends". So how did you define the trend to find out if it "worked"? I'm absolutely certain you used NONE of the definitions on your website or the one above. How did the study recognize that a "trend" existed? OldTrader

He's been avoiding that definition since the beginning. I've asked several times. Good luck on getting an answer. OldTrader

You're disappointed?:D At least he answered your question....more than I can say for you. OldTrader

Certainly it puts it all in a new perspective for us though now doesn't it? You're the guy running the 50 yard dash trying to explain to the marathon runners why their race doesn't make any sense. Thanks for the answer....I now know what value to put on your comments. OldTrader

Perhaps you should re-read my post. I was not "replying to the challenge" that you presented. Nor did I attack you. Here's what I said: Seems to me that after reading page after page of your comments on "trend following" that it is a fair question to ask what you believe in. How do you...

NickleScalper: I have reading your pontifications on "trendfollowing" for page after page. One question arises. Do you have a "method" of trading? Or do you simply "scalp" for a "nickel"? We all know what you don't believe....it might be interesting to know what you DO believe. OldTrader

And your stop would be where? OldTrader

Which set of facts have you produced in any of your posts? Seems to me that what you have produced is a set of "assertions" with no proof at all back them up. In fact, when I requested a link to these alleged "studies" that you mentioned, you did not produce even one, nor did you bother to...
