Thanks for the horsesh*t. Any product you buy is made of taxes: sales tax, corporate taxes, and taxes on goods and services which make up whatever goods and services you or I buy retail. If I spend instead of saving and investing then the more taxes I pay through my consumption. So do...

It may seem a long time since Greenspan took the Fed Chair and I'm certainly only interested in the present and future but long long before that Wall St and others used to put big weight on his pronouncements on the economy and interest rates. He was a big wheel before the Fed. :)

One accepts that each one of us is in his or her own cerebral compartment. Far from creating your own reality, it is the only one you have and there is no escape from it. The point here is how can your material advantage (a la trading) be best increased by relating to the "objective reality"...

No, what I said was not NLP. I guess I'm going to have to spell out the obvious difference. Trading for a living. Here the aim is How much? You are attempting to produce a stream of sufficient profit which you wll happily extract to live on. The nature of your enquiry is to establish this...

Discretionary trading is in the same category as price action trading. It will not lead on to your fortune. Consider this. "I want to trade for a living." This is the usual unworkable horsesh*t idea repeated endlessly. Consider this. "I want to amass a fortune from trading". Why are...

Stop trading. Pursue a different living where you don't lose. :)

Well, hell, everyone needs to think well of themselves and their skills. Now the truth about trading. Trading knowledgeably is not attempted by the all and sundry who try to become (or stay) independent traders. Best it gets is interpretations of live price on a chart to try anticipate what...

Amen.

Sorry, no, you're not unique. Prospects at age 33 of becoming a well paid office stiff in broking are slim to nothing. Try by all means. But trading .. forget it.

You need to be reminded of your own history and grievances which colors what you argue. The fact is you couldn't get your own snout into a big enough trough. Have a nice day, Thunderdog. :)

What is the best thing to trade? Index futures. Of those I put the Dow first. :)
