I absolutely did. It just came across as very funny for all UK users I'm sure as we only use "articulated" for "articulated lorry", which is what you might call a semi.

Sure articulated is a real word, but you used it as an adjective.

Good suggestion. However, "articulated"?

All possibly true of course. But some of the biggest companies we all think of as major corporations are actually franchises. If there was only a 1 in a thousand chance of making money out of taking a franchise they wouldn't be so popular amongst would-be entrepreneurs. They're doing great...

So it can be done is what you're saying. As I suggested, franchise is a way into running a business. Most new businesses in all sectors fail within 3 years so what have you got to lose?

You sure can in the UK so I'm sure you could in the US.

Look closely at the franchises you can buy. They're less risky than a completely new stand-alone venture as they have a proven business model, they have a structure already that helps with marketing, HR, accounting etc. and they're a fine way to learn how to run a business which could be started...

Journalists love a good story. Even when there isn't one.

You have to be kidding. We all love a joke but just in case you're serious - The max risk I would take for years has been 2% of the account. In the last year I have increased this as I became more familiar with and profitable from the strategy I'm using. I have very rarely heard of a trader...

I could only trade how I know will work and I'm familiar with. I'm in UK so I can spreadbet on the indices. I'd take the Nasdaq100 as its responsive to risk tolerance but lower risk than an individual stock. Go long at any price which is not a new high, with a capital risk of 5% of account. When...

That's just not right, I don't like that.

My own rule for trades is that if the trade set-up fits my plan, I go in with the max risk my account will allow, never more, but never less. I'm looking for asymmetrical r:r: I'm already happy with the set-up and the capital risk so there's no need to just dip a toe in the water. And imagine...

It very much depends who you talk to, rather than the community as a whole. But that's the same on any forum, same in any pub, same on any train. Some are less mature than others, some just come for an argument.

There's insufficient information given to believe that stock is imminently going to move from 20 to 30 (or from 20 to 10). So no strategy I can think of has a better than 50% chance of success on this one right now. A 50% probability of a 50% gain or a 50% loss to me sounds like a coin toss...

The use of aircraft as weapons on 9/11 could be a Black Swan as defined by NT but the market itself was already in a downtrend. From that point of view, the subsequent drop in the Dow etc. was a downtrend continuation, and nobody should have been surprised that price went further down. That...

I agree.

On losses I agree. The old advice, "Nobody ever went broke taking profits" should be changed now and forever to "Nobody ever went broke cutting losers early". On NT, I 'm sure you have a higher tolerance level than I do. I can't read anything more by this man. If he cared what I think I'm sure...

Haven't done my weekly TA yet but as the US indices remain closed above the 50EMA, likely I will be putting buy orders in above today's highs.

I can't take it that sampling snatches or instrumental lines form other musical genres is the same as being influenced by them, nor has the same value. Musical form + influence = development of a new musical style which is neither of the originators but draws from both. I don't think copying is...

Spoofing is illegal. Its like getting shilled at an auction with false bids. Useful though it may be, its still illegal and market disruptive.
