<i>"If you really want to learn how to trade the stock market, then check out a few books at your local library for free and start reading. Don't waste your money on these frauds that come on these websites and try to sell you their losing systems."</i> Please give us a list of specific books...

Excerpt from TradingMarkets.com directly relevant to the topic of this thread: <i>"Equity Market Dreads Slow Growth/Rising Inflation By Kevin Haggerty ... It was kind of funny listening to Fed Chairman Bernanke yesterday telling us that inflation is the biggest threat. Sounds to me...

<i>"Where people have no access to clean water supplies. Where water scarcity is killing of agriculture? Where literacy rate is around 20%? Where the inflation rises faster than the regular wages?"</i> Those are all problems currently found in this country, or on their way in the scale. Not...

<i>"If you are a trader with lets say 70% accuracy, increasing size won't change your strategy, only your profit for the better right????"</i> I presume your current personal approach to trading enjoys a 70% accuracy rate. Do you know how it will perform in other market extremes? How have...

Please name one dynasty from any part of history that did not rise & fall thru the exact-same cycle we see U.S. traversing in its time. I can list at least two dozen dynasties thru all continents that built far greater empires than U.S. ever has, and all are dead & gone. What will prevent...

<b>rateesquad</b>, I hate to ask which class loves football, big-game hunting and bullhead fishing {wince}. I've always marveled at how those with a "money-lack" mentality center their entire thought process on what they have, don't have yet and how they will get = keep even more, while the...

Peak oil theory assumes crude oil on planet earth is a finite supply commodity. In other words, a limited supply exists per the balance of production versus consumption. Can we agree that whatever balance(s) of crude oil available on earth right now is all that exists in our timeline? Let...

Peak oil? Heck no... they're making more of it all the time. Just squeeze it out of sand or lift it from 10,000 feet below sea level with contained production costs. We'll be paying $50 per barrel for the next 50 years, right?

I intend to be here in 50 years... 40 more, at least. If you join me for a toast in 2046, we will see a world far different from today. I respectfully suggest you dial out your vision further than two - three years from now. Always remember, every fallen dynasty since the dawn of man has...

EURUSD 3120 is a triple layer of key support. Broke it yesterday, tested prior resistance now presumed support at the low tick today. 3270 is next short-term upside objective

We will live long enough to see the day where USD is world's third currency. Before then, $$billions daily in bonds and USD floats that keep our economy afloat will wither and dry. But for now, all's well inside our economy :>)

The few books I've read on system writing - building were a complete waste of time... total garbage, to be polite. If <b>lescor</b> or some of the other system traders here writes a book on system design, I'm a buyer at any price (grin). Anything on the shelves right now is not worth your time.

<i>"back in the summer we tumbled 2%+ a few times. happened before spring as well if am correct..."</i> Must be a heavy indica you're enjoying, <b>Bit</b>. ES would need to close down -28 points intraday right now to register a -2% day. Don't recall any of those in the past year, although I...

<i>"how many times a months do days like today happen?"</i> In years past and again in years to come, days like this will be commonplace. That's all part of adjusting systems for evolving market conditions... nothing is static, systems need to be malleable for survival over long-term periods...

<i>"You need to stop autotrading and seriously learn how to successfully trade the markets by your own hand FIRST. Anyone with 6-12 months of discretionary trading under their belts could have picked up on just how strong the downtrend was going to be well within the first hour of the trading...

I spent the day deer hunting in Westfield, Pennsylvania with friends... had a great time in the outdoors, but truck came home empty. One look at the ES / ER charts shows screaming sell signals immediately off the open, no questions asked. Just sell both symbols and let 'em ride... while I was...

Back from a morning of tramping thru the woods, fields & swamps... totally outwitted by whitetail deer, which sneak circles around us hapless hunters and probably snicker to themselves in the process. Then again, they've been on earth since the dinosaur age in present form and the U.S. deer...
