    % Poseurs on ET?

    I've seen quite a few characters who start posting as total newbies and 3-4 mos. later claim they're making BIG bucks and giving out advice like they've been trading for 20 years. Also see others who begin posting claiming they're doing 10-20-30 contracts and have some super-duper way of trading...

    A possible CFTC solution for REFCO LLC

    I suspect that maybe Refco and their top guy(s) may have been "set up". In other words, maybe some competitor or other entity somehow figured out a way to get these guys to do something foolish as sort of a trap and then wham! A few other people had to be knowledgeable participants/advisors...

    System Development with acrary

    acrary, I have a question. The files you've been attaching as ".txt" files appear all garbled up and unreadable on my end. Any idea why? Thanks!

    Ford????

    What relationship? Chrysler is essentially a Daimler/Mercedes division. They could sell it. But last I saw, they were making a big push with Jeep in Europe. Why sell it now? The Chrysler brand sucks but Jeep has a good design/reputation.

    How will you rate this system?

    Of course I thought about! But without disclosing you system (which you haven't and I can understand that), how is somebody supposed to give an honest, informed opinion? You haven't even supplied an equity curve chart!

    How will you rate this system?

    What you STILL don't understand is this: Since the system had a $17K drawdown, if you funded this acct with $20K and that drawdown happened soon after, you would've been wiped out! That's not a 20% drawdown, that's a BLOWOUT! Comprende yet?

    That 95% failure rate

    Interesting use of spam in disguise.

    Safest Investment Options?

    Well, if there were, god forbid, a severe recession due to some 1918 flu-like pandemic, real estate would probably be toast. So, it may not be wise to put all your eggs in that basket.

    Working automated system with backtesting

    I'd be interested in 'collaborating' but would like to know what each party would be expected to contribute? In other words, what would traders involved in this effort effectively gain? Each others' techniques/systems?

    That 95% failure rate

    How is an industry that sells the 'good life' dream ever going to divulge the failure rate of their account holders? What will they gain from it? And the percentage of failures is no dought higher among small <$25K accts, so unless some thresholds of capital are used in these calculations the...

    That 95% failure rate

    So if you think it's just like anything else nowadays, quit yappin' over here and get to it! That's the funny part. Some people just NEED the approval of others before commiting to something. Get off the fence! The markets welcome your cash with open arms. Then you won't have to defend your...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    I guess you must be their US rep? If I were 1 of their 55000 dumb and clueless investors, after seeing this video, I sure as hell would rethink the stupidity of paying them huge fees for decorating their offices just to sucker in more dumb money. Maybe another year or 2 of crappy returns will do...

    CME to launch Asian stock index futures in Q1 '06

    CME needs to show HIGHER revenue! Maybe they can engineer an Asian bird-flu virus futures contract soon? Wonder what the volume on that would be?

    Are there too many young and inexperienced traders and hedgies out there now?

    I wonder when these jokers will blow up? It's just funny. They look like an advertising agency! http://www.superfund.com/downloads/...magefilm_EN.wmv
