You sure about the risk being in their favor? Don't these types of cases take years of time and thousands of dollars of the lawyers' own money? Given that plus the fact that these types of cases are almost always taken on a contingency fee, means that it's not in the financial interest of...

maybe we'll see an ridiculous bear market in our time, the kind of money making opportunity only those willing to short can capitalize off of.

Ok, so here's a hypothetical-- If a new bull market sets in, the likes of which you all are reminiscing about, would it be wise for people to quit there jobs and trade? Now, mind you I'm not talking about plumbers with no knowledge of trading. I'm talking about people who understand stops...

So if the true skill isn't in finding cheap companies, but deciding whether their cheapness is do to an insurmountable problem, then the process is highly subjective, and therefore you CAN lose. But thanks for getting to the heart of the matter. Every time I hear value investors speak, they...

What's an acceptable max dd? Quarter of total profits, so that a system that returns 100% can have a 25% max dd? Is there any rule of thumb?

If it's that simple, why are most value mutual funds taking a bath? It seems that if one follows the value mantra, finding winners is as simple as plugging in a few requirements into a screener. I'm not saying you're wrong or it can't be done, in fact, I have no experience with value investing...

Is it just me, or does value investing only work during a bull market? And if that's the case, there's nothing special about value investing because a monkey can make $$ in a bull market. Then again, I suppose you could make the argument that over the long haul, the stock market is one big bull...

You're short hpq? What time frame?

Oh, so that's what it was like!!!:D

What was the late 90's bullmarket like, for those of you who experienced it? At the time I was not very interested in the market, in fact I became interested right after the bubble popped, so I wasn't paying much attention at the time. I can recall hearing about IPO's rocketing up 200 -300%. I...

Turns out it was a programming mistake, and I didn't find the holy grail after all!!! Does this mean I'm not gonna be famous anymore?

well, it's long only, buys at the open of the next 5 min bar after certain criteria are met. It exits based on opposite of entry criteria, 1% stop loss, or the end of the day. It's ridiculously simple. Makes 4-5 trades a day. Highest % returns come from low priced stocks. Avg profit is about...

But slippage shouldn't be a huge deal, this isn't a scalping system

what's the standard practice? how much money are you supposed to start out with in testing?

Ok, the reason I'm posting this is because I'm new to system development, so I don't even know what is good or what means anything. So I've been tinkering with system development for a while now, and I've come up with a system that returns about 200% a year on stocks, no margin, 1% of total...

Ok, I had a great idea the other day. First, I think we can all agree that most of the time when people cannot financially support themselves, they run into serious trouble if they have babies. So, it is established that when poor people have babies, it usually ends up costing society. Soooo...I...

Ok...so your key to the career puzzle is joining the military?

Just know that in addition to 4 years of med school, you'll have to do another 7-10 years of residency. I think it's something like 4 years general surgery residency, then another 3-6 of plastic surgery residency. These 7-10 years of residency will consist of 80+ hour weeks and a generally...

You want my opinion on the daily? I see a rising price channel. Take a look at the chart.
