Here is the record of the ball's last 3 calls. A lot of money could be made by fading it.

Major US indices will be about 40% higher at the end of 2008. I am basing this on the S&P projected earnings of $101.24 and the current 10yr bond yield.

"Tankage" means "the residue from tanks in which carcasses and other offal have been steamed and the fat has been rendered, used as a fertilizer". See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tankage "Old" and "geriatric" are the same thing.

It could also be that the recession 'thinks' that we're in the verdict mode.

Even if you can deliver an average return of "only" 50% every year over a significant period of time (let's say the last 10 years) with relatively low drawdowns (let's say 10%), the entire world would beg you to manage their money. You would be more famous than George Soros, Warren Buffet, and...

Indeed, it may take a permanent nosedive in the long-term. You have no guarantee in that, either.

OK, but there is no guarantee whatsoever that you'll reach the target. So, again, it's very possible that you'll have 100 losers in a row, so your average winner will be $0. I guess what you really wanted to say is that from your back test results (or perhaps it was a forward test), the ave...

Sounds good, although I don't understand the term "guaranteed". For all we know, if you start trading it today, it's very possible that you'll have 100% losers and 0% winners.

There is no such word as "retardedness". If the Dow closes between 10K and 15K tomorrow, the moderators will post another "important" reminder that this forum is not for chit chat or personal attacks.

Poor Stock_Trad3r's stalkers, still spending their days tracking Stock_Trad3r's posts and responding with insults. It seems like a full time job for certain ETers.

Why are you asking? Are you going to make your trading decision based on how a few random posters respond?

Great results: 100% of ETers make money, according to the poll. :) Never underestimate the power of asking the right questions. :D

She is just playing. We are going down on a pretty much straight line into close from here. I added to my short ES at 1473.75. Stop at 1478.25.

Sold more ES at 1474.75

I figured the perceived risk/reward today highly favors the bears. The S&P is destined to close at around 1438 today (yes, it's 30 points to go down from where we are now), and I would be the buyer at the close. My trade is short ES from 1471.75.

That would indeed be a good passage, but I don't think it's in the Book. I suppose it can count as "Rennick's translation" of Genesis 41:39: “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are." :)
