well you got me there sparky. Your observation skills are just out of this world!!

We were pretty good friends with the treasurer of eTrade and she and her husband just moved to the DC area (last June)? We lost touch.... Isn't etrade a Palo Alto, CA based company? What's the scoop here?

and please let's be honest kids.... P.S. I've voted number 2

Hello Gary, I have borrowed some of your ideas from your book and pretty much agree with much what you state. IMHO Leverage is for many a false bravado, a challenge and many sadly bite the dust due to leverage. I can attest to that from my CBOT days. I now only trade my retirement account...

yahoo won't cut it for me, I like your suggestion of a website(free) for free US, foreign pre market open numbers (kind like a free squakbox ala internet). I work at night but I have access to internet and cable TV and I like some suggestions on websites to use. TV channels are iffy -...

I did not read the initial post. Trading stocks only has it's merits BUT leverage can and will kill you. There are plenty of traders who have 30-100k to play with and they know certain stocks intimately for them it is natural to trade stocks.... There are valid studies on the double edged sword...

it takes 13 hour a day to be a mediocre stock picker. I trade RYDEX funds and only go by tech/sentiment and tape reading...I still can get surprises just not as bad as individual stock trading overnight. (I do not daytrade, if you catch my drift)

I am trading a roth ira and I rydex is better suited for that. I know I could trade index futures but I just do not have the stomach and the need for that much leverage.

New account and new strategy. My account just have cleared otherwise I would have.... No, I have never played with Rydex, that's why I only use Scottrade's $2500 trades versus RYDEX own $25,000 limit.

look at the chart - green is a buy red is a sell.... Used RYTNX for a 2:1 leverage

ETG is no more, it was bought by shoenfeld, better doa search on that....

"How I trade for a living" by Gary Smith The reason I like this book is 'cause it is unique and set apart from the myriad of BS books out there.

RYDEX asset levels are also good, public/specialist shorts versus longs are excellent as well

well I do not know about you but I have been living the USA for 27 years and watching consumer prices rather closely, if you do believe in the CPI and govt. reported inflation statistics I have a rather classic bridge to sell you in New York City.

the problem is that I do not 100% agree with his bullish views, what does cyclical bull and secular bear actually mean? I think we might very well be in a sideways market!!!!

Yes - they are the foreign ETF's, funds plus shortplay on the us indices(rydex).... PS I still like the SF for pure currency play.

this is what happens when a criminal gang of politicians(mafia) gets free access of printing money. no wonder they disdain foreign countries who counterfit dollars - they are a competition of criminals. It is not worth using as toilette paper. Want some value buy the swiss francs...

Bob Brinker's Market Timer.... I am looking at this service for LT fund switching RYDEX for my IRA anyone has any idea if the service is worthwile? His track record is rather impressive.. http://www.bobbrinker.com/portfolio.asp

yes and there is also manipulation and propaganda to prop up equities not to mention accounting fraud....

Richard Dennis (missing from the options) He actually financed his pupils. Great way to start and take no risks.... :) PS and why is niederhoeffer in a list he lost most of his clients money and never amounted much in trading.
