Is it me or has anyone else noticed that trading forums are getting less and less active over the years. It's weird, i would think that the progression would go the other way. Anyway, regarding your question, definitely, gold is the worst! I mean, you can't even trade the ZG anymore due to...

So you're not saying what Lennin/Stalin, Moa, Hitler and Castro said, which is: Socialism, socialism, national socialism and socialism, is the key to utopia on planet earth. Got ya.

Is this a joke? I don't believe that you even understand what socialism is, lol. Most of the places you list are the most capitalistic places on the planet, lol. Here is a ranking of the top capitalistic countries on the planet: http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking The USA is currently...

I'm a big time Ron Paul supporter, but it just wont happen. I don't think many people understand just how this thing works. There is an establishment elite in this country and perhaps the world. It's not like they are sitting around twirling mustaches and coming up with evil conspiracies...

It's a well known "secret" that the USA has transitioned fully to empire from Constitutional Republic. While the tentacles of the government of the United States stretch the world, the people's rights at home are being destroyed. I don't want to argue whether the USA is an empire or not, since...

I don't like the "averaging up" and i sure as hell don't like the averaging down. Obviously no one should average down, that is insane. But to average up is also not my favorite thing to do. I'll tell you a story of how averaging up just failed me big time in the gold market. I believe it...

The capitalist system did not die in 2008, since it did not exist at that point in time to die. There has never been a purely capitalist system, although the USA from its founding until about 1913 came the closest, but it still was not a purely capitalist society. The obvious diversion from...

Anything over 10%-20% is "gambling?" LOL. Keep telling yourself that. The truth of the matter is that most traders are losers, but some are very good and they use a variety of different systems. Just because 10-20% is all you can make with what you refer to as manageable risk, doesn't mean...

It is a shame when folks are not educated on very simple definitions, like capitalism, socialism, etc. The current system of the USA is NOT a capitalist system. It is a mixed economy, you have capitalist tendencies and socialists ones. As people have written over the ages, a mixed economy...

It's a bull market, that's why. There are three distinct different time periods in all investments in my opinion: short, intermediate and long term. Intermediate and long terms are cyclical and secular respectively. We have been in a secular bear market in equities since 2000 and a secular...

There is a difference between an investment and a consumption good. The sales tax does not relate. I just traded a few million dollars worth of oil futures today and basically made no money. I'd be paying something like, let's figure it out: $2,000,000 x .01 (if it is a 1% tax) =...

It really depends on just how fascist these socialist become and how extensive their power becomes. If they just pass this on the USA, then it will do nothing to traders, just destroy the American financial system. But still, most of us will merely take our capital and move it to hong Kong or...

Let's hope it doesn't get to that point. I always find it rather perplexing that people don't study history, or perhaps it is the government controlled schools which teach them faulty history, lol. If you care about the average person, there is no economic system that provides what free...

Yes, it is a disgrace how the socialists stole one of the great words in existence and thus changed its meaning. I am a liberal in the true sense of the word, meaning of and pertaining to freedom. The current "liberals" merely stole the word. A liberal is a free market capitalist, a believer...

Yes, it is horrible. I hear something like 5/6th of the laws in Great Britain are made for them by technocrats at the EU. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny. This is the very birth place of classical liberalism. The intellectual foundation of free market capitalism and liberty came from...

So, let's get this straight: Government continues to grow massively and the middle class continues to shrink massively, lol. Why do most of the uneducated think that big government is bad for the ultra rich and good for the middle class? Big government is good for the ultra rich, they are...

I see that Herman Cain is jumping to the top in the polls by advocating, get this, an EXTRA TAX. And the Republicans are falling over themselves supporting this ex Federal Reserve director, while this ex-Federal Reserve director is proposing to them NEW TAXES, lol. Literally, it would be...

You got the problem correct, ie the FED, but the process you're outlining is not correct. First off, printing money is not OK. Secondly, if the government prints money "with no interest attached" doesn't make it ok. I assume you are proposing a government which prints money and spends it...

I've already explained one way. JP MOrgan was the founder of GE, GE owns NBC/MSNBC. Here is an excerpt from a biography on JP MOrgan: His next task was the electricity industry. In the late 1870s, Morgan had been very impressed by Thomas Edison’s experiments and, against Junius’s...

Well, GE, who last year paid $0 income taxes due to loopholes, own NBC, and obviously MSNBC. GE was started and funded and perhaps still is a JP Morgan operation. This is the biggest problem most people do not realize: big government is NOT good for the middle/lower/upper middle class of...
