    Sony In 'Meltdown'

    Sony? The more expensive but not necessarily any better Samsung? The company that's been sliding into oblivion for the past two decades and has only managed to stay relevant because of a gaming console? The company that muscles in on the territory of innovative companies after they've...

    The End of the Financial World as We Know It: Michael Lewis

    You're not a fan of insurance right? Good thing you weren't living in New Orleans. You'd probably have scoffed at the notion the levees were susceptible to being broken and stayed there.

    Some just don't get it when it comes to eating.

    So when you talk of "Some just don't get it when it comes to eating," you are talking about yourself right? :)

    best ways to tell that S or R is holding?

    In other words the value of entering at S/R lies not so much in increased accuracy as it does in assessing the amount of risk versus the possible reward. There is a way to increase accuracy too but people ignore it so much.

    A comparison of 4 bear markets and where we are at today...

    Buy in August? That seems a nebulous idea to buy just before the historically two worst months of the year. Buying in January is higher percentage, and if it doesn't work out quickly, stay out for the rest of the year---if you aren't a trader.

    We're About To Get Hit With A Sh**storm: Bernanke Has Lost Control of Velocity *Chart

    Excess needs to be corrected so a recession of some sort was probably unavoidable but that is different from saying that a Depression is necessary. Better policy can help to mitigate and alleviate the situation. To think otherwise is self-flagellation. What textbook are you reading? One...

    how come not all stocks pay dividends?

    In bull markets investors make money on stocks with appreciating prices. In bear markets one realizes how flimsy nearly all the justification for stock prices are when one does not see a return. Earnings are largely theoretical, dividends are much more tangible. Why don't all stocks pay...

    Oregon looks at taxing mileage instead of gasoline

    Haven't given it much thought but wouldn't this eliminate the incentive for switching to environmentally friendlier cars? If you're going to be taxed the same for driving 1000 miles, where's the financial advantage to the taxpayer for using electricity instead of gasoline? It seems to encourage...

    I made $7 million USD in 2008

    Abandoning trading entirely all of a sudden especially if you are successful at it seems premature. Even if other things in life eventually start to distract you, increasing the danger of not properly overseeing your positions, the risk can be dramatically reduced by just banking $6M through...

    Why does Hamas fire rockets?

    What a dumb article. If you read the Bible it will also state that when Moses and company got out of Egypt they had confrontations with and threw out guess who? Answer: Canaanites.

    WORST Political Leaders In History... NObama Will Be On The List!

    All these allegations against Obama for supposedly being ineligible for POTUS all seem to come from conspiracy enthusiasts. The galling thing is the ones bringing this up are also the previous supporters of George W. Bush who won less of the popular vote than Gore---and that is a lot more...

    Is now the time.

    As long as you are aware that this market can fall another 50% and the odds description of that is "possibly" and not "unlikely" then this is as good a time as any to start looking. Two years from now might be safer though.

    Would you pull a Madoff if you had the chance?

    Couldn't Madoff pretty much have accomplished the same thing he did legally like most of the other losing funds? Probably other funds out there losing billions. Exposing himself to jail time is stupidity on his part.

    Metatrader Alert Problem

    Someone is bound to have coded this already. Try doing a search for something like "Stochastic with alert mq4" or "RSI with alert mq4" with Google. Even if you only find something similar you can look at the code and adapt it. What I know of coding I've learned from deconstructing the MQ4...

    Keynsian economics is dead

    Funny title. If anything Keynesian economics is alive! ALIVE I say! Moreso now than before the crisis. It seems quite a few people here don't realize that Keynes was a foremost economist very well versed in classical economics. His General Theory for which he is now known was developed out...

    ***Citibank Internal MEMO......in their own words***

    If this financial disaster leads to a war then maybe these concerns raised are a possibility. If not this is all a bunch of crap. Sounds like a bunch of spoiled people who have never lived through a time of adversity now going paranoid with gloom and doom. Softies.
