This site lost its way a looong time ago. You still haven't realized it?

Obama promises to "unleash prosperity for everybody, not just some..." I can't believe this was quoted. As if he holds the key to unlimited wealth for all. Whatever happened to hard work, discipline, receiving what one earns. ...excuse me while I go puke a little....

Their ratings page is worth a chuckle. Looks like they are selling calling cards.

I may be wrong but one of the biggest things they have in common is that you were the parent of each one of them. So speaking of jobs...what kind of job did you do as a parent?

I think I get your point, but in the end you are flat out wrong. I have an aunt and grandmother who have never worked a day in their lives after coming to this country decades ago. Simply put, they live off welfare and medicaid. I do not agree with this.

True for me long ago. For the most part, posters here are either new or just trying to make it. Now I only visit this site when bored or searching for info I can't find elsewhere, which fortuneately is not too often. That this site is called Elite Trader is ironic to say the least. I...

Is anybody here trading thru the Professional Advisor (not the regular individual) side of IB's Friends & Family? 1) Are you using any entity for the trading? 2) What licenses (RIA, CTA, etc) do you have?

Audit is fine. Do you know of any such services?

NFA says no such list. They couldn't help me with any information.

Are there various websites/services that allow you to submit your brokerage statements as a verified track record?

I've been following Mike for almost 2 yrs. He was early but got it completely right. And more so, he traded it exactly right. Returning well over 100% for his clients last year. Unlike Peter Schiff, et al. However, as far as litigation, his previous litigation against Lennar cost him...

He made many trading/bottom/rental calls in the columnist conversation of Realmoney. I follow it daily. Some pan out, some don't. Here is an example. There are more if I were to keep looking: Doug Kass Memo to 'El Capitan' 1/8/2009 3:57 PM EST I believe yesterday's pullback...

Calls are a dime a dozen. He made numerous bottom calls last year. As the market goes against him, Doug Kass has a tendancy to become more vocal and his writings become more elaborate. Eventually when the market turns, many perceive him as calling the bottom and remember only his latest...

Can anyone recommend other futures brokerages that allow advisor accounts? I already have one setup at IB (Friends & Family), but am looking at opening another. What other choices are out there nowadays?

All they have to do is suspend mark to market. While I do not advocate it, I don't understand why they don't do it. It is no more reckless or ineffective than what they have already done. All that hoarding of cash by the banks would ease and possibly open the spigot.

I will say that both of you are wrong. Simply printing more will increase base money supply, but it will not necessarily increase money velocity. And in our case, I will flat out say it will not. This also is not necessarily true. Simply look at a chart of our monetary base and a chart...

Interesting article. I thought about how it might relate to successful traders vs unsuccessful traders. ...Morgan found again that brain chemistry makes a big difference. The amount of neuropeptide Y you pump is closely connected to your success—the more, the better. Morgan also found that...

Simple is better. Works in trading, works in almost everything in life. Like a teenager that has overborrowed and overspent, there is no solution. He must get his share of punishment, learn his lesson, and save to pay off his debts. Maybe Obama should rephrase his own words. "There will...

True, one reason banks are not lending is that many are insolvent. My point was that there is also the matter of return on capital. Why would they lend when assets are depreciating, unemployment is increasing, and business revenue is declining everywhere? I've spoken to neighbors and...

Your solution is little different than what has been done. Banks have been given low cost capital for lending. But they are not lending. Businesses are declining in this economy, so why would they lend? Employers given low cost workers will still not hire as much as you think. Again...
