Came across this today from Reuters. Pretty good article that puts all the goods vs the bads of USA status quo. Almost bullet point in style, it is a quick read, current, and gets its arms around our condition and prognosis...

LOL ! ! Programs ? PROGRAMS ? I don't need no stinkin' programs. Readers of this thread (from when I first posted in August) know I don't use any. (I am a closet wisher of a program that finds what I am looking for, though.) Now it's just lots of barbaric hours on charts...

The above is referencing Short HON Long BA I posted the subsequent additional levels that got put on in Pair Trading Strategy Journal thread (Journals Forum) A GREAT 2 days for holding on after a week and a half of the snot geting kicked out of you (actually opportunities to add...

Good one ! Only an hour and a half into this morning's session. I will make this chart better probably. Gotta run now. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3636948>

Relief break. (No, not the wet kind.) Some fun with the somber: Manufacturing WHAT ??!! R e v o l u t i o n So for all the cryers in the group fatalistic about America's leadership and future, finding pearls wherever possible is akin to feeling successful in plugging SOME leaks in the...

This picture (link below) is worth a thousand words, pretty much illustrating my first post on this subject (the quote above). Particularly when knowing it was just a few ticks away from adding a 3rd layer at an obvious place on the chart (about the middle of the chart on the 14th). I...

Remember this from Sept 9 post (see quote above...the chart) ? (above quote omitted verbiage for brevity here.) Just for fun....look at the plots today, mid-session. (link below) http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134253&perpage=10&pagenumber=277

Just for fun.......... Look at stock plots two weeks after position opened and subsequently closed. The train kept going. The purpose of this chart is merely to affirm the original consideration for the trade had merit. <img...

Got it !

LOL LOL Exactly ! That is why the fundamentals impact my position early in the trade. Over time, time mitigates the bad, and the good gets dimmed in memory. There is a tendency over time for these things to dampen out (to varying degrees, certainly) which is all the more...

You said: "I just answer what works for me," in response to me stating what works for you is exactly opposite what works for me. Importantly, we were targeting how fundamentals don't impact you short term, but rather longer term. For me, short term dramatically affects my positions while...

Here is a case where Fundamentals can beat its chest and slap itself on the back: Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Lehman, Bear Sterns, and other big investment houses not only accumulated mortgage backed bonds, but were doing so right to the END. Credit rating firms were on board, too. Burry...

TheMickey just posted, "Trading / investing successfully is fraught with twists and turns..."

"Is fundamental analysis SOMEWHAT useless ?" Just about everything is SOMEWHAT. Asking a question like this needs some more definition. I search the internet for answers to questions and find what turns out to be very different answers that eventually I learn all of them turn out to be...

SUBJECT 1: Holy superturds, Batman: I didn't know what a supernote was until I researched your use of it. VERY interesting link including Korea's purpose for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar Why it matters is because I want to whine. It's bad enough living with fiat...

Maybe it is best to take this discussion somewhere else than this thread because it doesn't contribute to it. But let me just say for now: 1. We may not be on the same page. Shouldn't be a surprise, we don't know each other's trading. Duh ! 2. Forex is a currency trading market...

I d u n n o about the illegals impacting to the extent of a spike. I DO know it was the straw (ONE BIG STRAW) that broke California's back. Reminds me of when I was in Spain 3 1/2 years ago and the financial cable channels had not heard of Spain's plight. There was no one who had coined...
