    Well, I do like Dos Equis...though that guy has at least 15 years on me.

    I'm kind of ticked off

    I dabbled in T.A. in my early 20's. Didn't bother with it again until my mid-40's. Now I'm making decent money. I have to wonder where I'd be if I just hadn't given up way back when. I could kick myself for that! SM

    Hey Trader Zones!

    Geez...this thread still has legs? I'm the Original Poster. I just read through all this. If I can interpret the responses, it looks like Trader Zones wants me to sign up for some kind of auditing system. And someone else says this makes me "owned"? Pleez. My response is "No". This is...

    Ooops! Everyone re-do your costs for Global "Warming"

    Interesting. Seems like there could be variations in the heat output of the sun that are too sensitive to measure because it would fall within the error of the measuring device, or be due to calibration. I mean, I understand that a satellite could measure the heat from the sun much more...

    Ooops! Everyone re-do your costs for Global "Warming"

    My hobby is amateur astronomy, and one of the things you learn when you study the stars is that many of them are variable. I don't know if there have been any studies on the heat output of the sun, but that would be interesting to correlate it to our heat cycle. Imagine what a 0.01% change in...

    What good is money

    It isn't always about speed and newness. Sometimes its the nostalgia and the feel of the road: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1959_Porsche_356A.JPG

    Need a 2x or 3x leveraged spot oil ETF

    Hey all, I used to play DXO, but they closed that out so now I play DYY. I don't like how hard it is for me to get an updated quote on Yahoo. (I'm a swing trader, so I don't have a dedicated terminal). Can anyone suggest another leverage spot oil ETF? SM

    Having trouble focusing at my day job

    Thanks. No, I haven't been canned. Like one fellow predicted, I'm starting to get used to it. Still making good money...like almost as good as my salary, but since I think this could end at any time, I'm trying to accumulate as much as I can while the gettin' is good. Not spending any of it...

    What good is money

    x2. My wife likes curb and gutter neighborhoods. I'd like to be able to see the Milkyway. We compromised somewhat but someday I'd like to have an observatory out in a cow pasture, stuffed full of collector cars. An attainable dream. SM

    TZA vs TNA today?

    When does it occur? And is the next one going to be published? If so, seems like you could just short it the day before. SM

    What kind of percentage return do you get per day?

    I've never messed with options, and I only know a little about it. Can you illustrate this in terms an options noob like me can understand? I invested $10,000 in TZA a couple days ago and made $700 on it (7%). I figure if I was wrong, and it went the other way, I'd have lost $700 before I...

    What kind of percentage return do you get per day?

    Emini, I have a method that works, and I wanted to know how it compares to others. This lets me know if I should keep looking for something better. Also...I swing trade, but my method can be applied to day trading...wondering how different the returns are. You must know that asking...

    What kind of percentage return do you get per day?

    Thats where I am. I swing trade ETFs. I started a new method at the beginning of the month. So far, so good...1% a day on average compounding. But since I'm a swing trader, its more like 6% a week. SM

    What kind of percentage return do you get per day?

    Just curious about how the returns stack up for different trading styles. Please list what type of trading you do (generally) and what kind of returns on your investment you get per day. Feel free to give it as a range if you're more comfortable doing that. I'm talking about your entire...
