Ah, but what is the capacity of the earth? With 95% of everything ( that would be the mass-energy density of the observable universe for you science challenged types) being completely unknown, no one can say. I'd guess in 100 years from now, long before we run dry the system you understand, that...

Planet earth is 1 planet in 1 galaxy out of the more than 100 billion known galaxies that make up the universe which is expanding every day.. Dark matter and dark energy, which we know absolutely zero about, make up 95% of the everything in the universe. Therefore we only understand about 5% of...

I have 5 friends who didn't go to college. 1 is VP of Sales for a national company making 250K plus bonuses, stk options, etc. 1 sells IT stuff and makes well over 150K most years. 3 own a business together that has 400 employees. I assume they're doing rather well. College is...

They're doing it in Florida already. Probably other places too.

I have several including TTN and Briefing but I prefer Fly. I load the symbols I'm interested in and if news hits I get a pop up. No need to stare at the news all day. But you're missing the point. It's not breaking news that kills you it's lack of researching current news. I get up at 6:30...

Robert, if you really want to be a trader then you need to take it seriously and start treat it as a business instead of a video game. Investing in a news feed would cost you maybe $500/yr and save you probably 50K given your history of getting in the way of frieght trains without even realizing...

Hu Jintao is the man for the job. A dictator is the only thing that can save us.

Oh Neke! Sorry about the loss but this is a great reminder about how to handle a screwed up trade so in a way I guess I'm grateful for you re-enforcing a steadfast rule I have: Always, always, always immediately close a botched trade. ALWAYS!!!! Anyone whose ever traded has had a similar...

Really? I would think it would keep you up at night knowing a country that could be on the brink at any moment and controls the strongest, most aggressive, most heavily armed military Super power the world has ever known, is only minutes away from destroying you at any moment if things get...

Bob, I've read your post for sometime with interest because I was right where you are now. I know you don't want to hear it and nothing I say will convince you but my trading changed the day I realized a few simple things. 1. "signals" are stupid and no real traders that I know of making...

I buy below the daily low and short above the high all the time, whats the big deal?

Thanks that makes sense. So really its just those dec/jan trades that the wash rule effects for a daytrader? I just never heard anyone talk about this. Everyone I know is probably mark to market I suppose.

I'm curious. I use mark to market but this talk of wash sales has me thinking. S0 long as you close out everything by year end is there any difference? For example: Say you buy 1000 RIMM at 44.00, sell at 43.70...loss -300 Then you buy 1000 RIMM at 44.00 again and sell at 43.70..loss...

Yes , you can make money daytrading and your poker experience should help a lot assuming you were successful. Most successful traders I know don't really want to be billionaries. They just want the freedom of financial security and not having to deal with the corporate world. Thats what drew...

I sort of enjoy Nascar. I hope it works out for them. I've read where Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick have offered to give back some of their salaries rather than make other budget cuts that might effect their teams performance. You would never see that in other sports.

Hugh Hefner is getting busted you think?

I full time trader my ass. More like a full time ET poster. What a lying sack of shit you are.

Reaver, lets get a few things straight. For one, just because I think your too stupid to manage your own money doesn't mean I think the gov't should. I think they should let you starve to death not raise my taxes. Second, as a gov't employee yourself, I think you should shut the fuck up...

All natural.

Clearly you either didn't read or didn't understand my posts on this topic. If you wish to debate me at least be on topic otherwise fuck off.
