    Mortgage Payments

    Most people that send in extra funds want this applied to the principal only since that is what is used to figure your interest amount. The fact that most of the interest is disproportinally paid in the beginning years of the loan is why this maneuver would help you especially. You are in the...

    Roth IRA holders will be nailed with 9-9-9.

    My current understanding of the 9.9.9 is that they represent a FLAT 9% tax of EACH of the following,...corporate, personal income, sales tax. The idea is that corporations would have a low tax and incentives to be in US. The personal income tax would be low at 9% and thus we have more money...

    Roth IRA holders will be nailed with 9-9-9.

    My understanding of the 9% sales tax is a FLAT national sales tax. I do not think it is in addition to the state sales tax that exists in most states. However, I am NOT certain about this as I have not studied his plan extensively.

    Roth IRA holders will be nailed with 9-9-9.

    You DO realize that you would STILL have to pay sales tax even under todays rules dont you? Roth IRAs just mean you do not pay income tax on the capital appreciation because you already paid income tax. The entire point behind Roth IRAs and conversions is that those of us that think INCOME...

    We are the 1%; We stand with the 99%

    Sounds about right. 30 years ago a millionare meant something. Now a days it isn't shit. You need at least 10-15 million in my mind to be wealthy. Today 1 million is like a $100K 20 years ago. As our $ is devalued and we have hyper inflation because of Uncle Ben we will all be...

    Medium Frequency Trading (MFT)

    I have a system that I trade that SEEMS similar to this. I have been trading it and had great success with it. I will give you one piece of advice that has worked for me and that is to match this system up with the weekly chart. Only trade those where the 60 min and weekly agree. This has...

    Anyone trade just on news flow? NO TECHNICALS!

    That's fine to each their own. However, you really should keep an open mind that it can and IS being done. You may consider TA hockus pockus and more difficult than the way you trade but I find that it suits my personality and mindset perfectly. I dont go around saying fundamental analysis is...

    Anyone trade just on news flow? NO TECHNICALS!

    LOL,...seriously I just do NOT get why people seem to think if TA does not work for them then it MUST be useless. Thats like saying to a carpenter that his saw and hammer are a piece of shit because you cannot make the same beautiful desk and dresser drawer that he can. TA is not for...

    What is your margin equity level poll?

    Have left? You mean right now? How does that help discern anything. My trading margin equity changes daily,...sometimes multiple times daily. I may be in trades with no margin and may be in trades with margin a few hours later... I guess I just dont see the reason for this thread. Please...

    WE are the 95%!

    So I have to ask why are you here if you are obviously not a trader? I am assuming you do not trade because you think small traders are crazy. How do you define small trader...under $1 million to trade? Also ALL BIG traders started as small traders. Keep thinking that YOU CANNOT DO IT and it...

    The dangers of shorting

    +1 This... Never trade long OR short an instrument that cannot be liquidated in 30 sec or less. Also, if you set STOP LIMIT orders where the stop is the trigger and the limit is some OTHER price close to but within an "acceptable" range of sale prices from the stop price, then this will at...

    WE are the 95%!

    So do you think that the MIT team which I believe was made up of only about 6 people are the only winners on BJ? Did you know that the most successful of the BJ guys on the MIT Team is now a professional POKER player? Would you say that the poker players have similar characteristics? How many...
