This is where we differ. The origins of democracy had it's roots in homogeneous societies where people shared an upbringing but brought a difference of opinion to the table. Today, I rather feel that democracy succeeds because there is no better replacement in sight. George I believe is...

Not a bad summation at all. Unfortunately for George, the empirical planners forgot to read Sun Tzu 'The Art of War' Had they done so, today's problems would never have transpired, but sadly for George he would not have received the nod in 1999. regards f9

"Moving average no longer working" MA is a blunt instrument that is a simple derivative of price in most cases. The Trader is a sharp instrument who takes a position and stops based on price plus in some cases blunt instruments. Oopps ... I have lost my way. Just remind me which is no...

exactamente mi amigo. The attitude down here is why encourage the little buggers to steal and stuff-up with tax money when they were voted in to lead. And so we have sent 20M disciples north of the border to show you the way. Look at the Thais cordialmente f9

There are too many assumptions. Why not give all players 30 days to register their CDS and get them onto the table. Then they can be strung together. Who is to say that leaving timing aside, that the attrition rate will not approach 100% This being the case then just fire off the CDS...

Honestly, how hard can eye surgery be. I will download an ebook on the subject today and read it tonight. Just to show you all how mature I am, and to impress myself, this is where I am at right now. I will keep my loses small. Firstly I want to be paid up front and I will only operate...

Well you have just wrapped up this thread Mr J. FWIW I thought that I would have a go at becoming an eye surgeon next year. They seem to make a great deal of money and it cannot be all that hard since our eyes are so small. These two features combine into big easy money which I find very...

Interesting comment. I have often wondered if the market for "positive thinking" was aimed at fearful people on a rising market. The alternative is a balanced view and as close a sense to reality as one can muster. regards f9

Johnny, You say you wish to undertake the journey of a Trader. Well that is your choice. It is a journey that will take you from a head full of thoughts concerning what you would like and wish for, through a stage where you cram your head even further with detail to support your wants...

"Warning Family about the Economy" Perhaps it is better to start a discussion about the irrevocable change in lifestyle that is underway and the part that the economy plays. This way everyone has his/her say without feeling threatened. Other than that, just wait a couple of months from...
