When I decided to return to trading about 3 years ago, I looked at both Amibroker and Wealth Lab. Wealth Lab at the time was not bought out by Fidelity. Wealth Lab was a predominantly web based application with a separate $600 stand alone expert package that you could get for advanced...

Usually, when I miss my stop, I curse loudly and roundly and just pay an offer or hit a bid. I then don't trade any new positions for a few days because I am obviously not trading smart. The exceptions are when there is a strong gap against me. If I'm suddenly down 20-30% and there was no...

There are so many different ways to trade the markets that each 'system' can co-exist to a reasonable point (i.e. not all systems can be profitable) and not break the game. And the markets change so much and so constantly that your 'holy grail' might be nothing more than a relic in 10 years...

Low inflation = good for equities high inflation = bad for equities hyperinflation = great for equities as the equities become a hedge against the devaluing currency, but tend to end badly. (I define high inflation as inflation between 5-25%)

ditto. we think alike.

And if you think Orlando is only Disney: 1. Recently selected as the new home of the Burnham Institute 2. New Medical School approved by board of regents for 2009 Scripps institute, unfortunately, relocated to West Palm Beach. Can't win 'em all.

Was that shot from Key Biscayne or Fisher Island?

Forget about further hikes by the FED - that's done for the rest of the year unless Big Ben is trying to start a recession to punish China or some other idiotic concept like that. The housing bubble needs to deflate, not implode. The yield curve does NOT look particularly optimistic for...

that guy had been looking for publicity his whole life. And he finally got it.

Nope, sorry, not this year. Eventually, yes, probably. But if you can buy at $500 or under what you now can buy for $600, why? Tightening credit is deflationary along with dropping interest rates. And the yellow metal drops in that scenario, particularly since most of the people who...

Not much of a cat fight at all. Rates hiked, US economy falters, US economy slows, world economy slows more, US and world interest rates fall, but US spread higher than world rates so US dollar remains more bid than expected. Stocks meander, oil remains unchanged in real terms, bonds rally...

And that Africa trip is sure a life long dream type experience many would like to share... I'm legging out of my floaters (50% out) and into short - intermediate term bond CEF's which look bid significantly last few days particularly. Still holding a short long bond position as a multi-year...

Thanks Mcurto... Pimco selling vol at 20 year lows. Wow. Food for thought.

"I like oil. Its hot." Got that from her cell phone - she was texting with an oil hedgie she was hanging out with. Fer Sure. I really can't see Oil below $60 for any extended period of time until this administration bows out. I remain long. And note that many energy equities are...

That was a very interesting link... thank you. Wasn't aware that Nickel was the same short situation as other metals...

Yes, as that printed money isn't finding its way into circulation any more. That's deflationary. Then it will drop interest rates as all assets drop in value, including gold (all red days). Then, you can buy some more. And it may go up. Are you so eager to throw away your money buying...

Well, the last time we put on protective Tarrifs, that worked out real well... (1931?) Actually, let's encourage the chinese to further weaken their yuan, and let's continue to drive their prices down on commodity goods, so that they get less wealth in return. Eventually, we won't even...

Boy, I hope you're right and I'm wrong. I am not as optimistic.

I think it has to do with some other factors too - 1. All these cities are in 'blue' states with heavy social programs - i.e. high taxes 2. Old, 30's era anticompetitive laws abound in these areas which further hamper their chances of economic revival. 3. There exists a great deal of...
