It depends, in certain endeavors natural gift is a must. I can work extremely hard and practice all I want, but there is no way I can become an opera singer. Such gift distributed randomly. But than hard work comes into the picture in order to become great.

Nicely said. They did pull it off and made most Americans beleive that we are fighting to help freedom to spread. The way they look at it is this, we are making bundles of money and if the side effect is a potential for a another democratic country, even better. But $ come first of course...

His secret is randomness. There is a statistical probability that if you have unlimited time and millions of monkeys clicking on type writers, one of them sooner or later will end up with a complete novel. Same thing with Buffet. Out of an army of investors, there will always be few that...

velocity is a clearing firm where global is intoducing broker. They both are good. X-Trader with TT feed is industry standard. The fastest execution I have seen. I heard about a new feed called zin-fire, which is supposed to be even faster, but I have never used it. X-Trader gets in you...

I use 2 velocity futures and vcapfutures.

Polls should not be trusted too much since they can easily be biased. I sure hope that Republicans loose, but quite afraid that they still might hold on to majorities with tightest margins though. If the country still decides to retain Republicans, I guess we will get what we deserve. I wish...

Scottomatic, Welcome to my world. I am doing exactly what you are trying to do. I also live in New York, have 9-5 and trade between 3am-7am. Building grub stake for full time trading. European markets are where the volatility and liquidity are at these hours. I trade DAX futures, they are not...

By the way US, gets almost no oil from middle east. We import 40% from Canada, another 30% or so is ours, then smaller amounts from gulf of Mexico, Venzualla and so.

On the retail level, if you want to trade currencies, futures is the only way. Forex is not real, it is just a virtual place where everything, even including a price, is controlled by your broker. Those who realize it look somewhere else, the rest just fool themselves that they are trading in...

Of course it is not worth this much. When the bear comes, it will be one of the first to correct itself. One thing was sure though, do not try to pick a top.

ROTFLOL. I needed a good laugh.

i do not understand why more companies do not implement token IDs. By the way, these device batteries are good for years. As a precaution, you can order a new token once a year or replace battery.

Not ours, but from a small bunch of arrogant leaders who disregarded all warnings and painted a rosy picture that Iraqis would great us with flowers. Bush has a personality of someone who would never reconsider once he made up his mind, but that's not how real world works. Keynes coined it with...

This is fantasy land. Black boxes do not work over any decent period of time and AI does not exist.

Not following???

I live in Brooklyn. There are condos being build on every corner. Average 2 br 500-600K, 3-4br from 650K to 1 mil. I wonder who is going to buy them???

I did tests on the following executions/feeds for futures: NinjaTrader on TT Feed NinjaTrader on PATS Feed X-Trader on TT feed X-trader with its native TT feed beats others by few hundred mili seconds all other things being equal. For charting TradeStation, E-signal and CQG are good...

But trading and quote feeds fees are tiny these days. No way they will go back to what they were in 70s and 80s. If a trader is somewhat successfull, it just does not matter becuase they are peanuts.

Totally agree.

Oh really. Last time I checked energy prices are materially up since 2003, Halliburton pocked billions on contracts and so on… Do not get me wrong, I fully understand that people with power will always screw the rest of us, and if any one of us ends up on the top, we will probably do it...
