It's a long time until election day. fwiw I think Ron Paul is a long shot but he is my man. I am sick of having to go for the lesser of two evils, the best compromise candidate, etc. I also think a "Perfect Storm" situation could be brewing. There are a lot of factors that could come...

p&d These are a couple of great quotes from Teddy Roosevelt. If you are done, so be it. You will be better able to assess your situation after you get some distance (time)from this. There is no shame in recognizing your talents may lay elsewhere. Far better is it to dare mighty things...

A link to the writings of Ron Paul. Anyone thinking Ron Paul is an intellectual lightweight should give these a look. FREEDOM UNDER SIEGE Here is Ron Paul's political manifesto, a courageous book on civil liberties and the rights of Americans that are relentlessly under assault from...

I don't know if the pop yesterday was just a garden variety short squeeze or tinkering by outside forces but it occurs to me that Ben might not want to lower rates just yet and be all the more apparent as a Wall Street patsy. It might be better to keep things up until the FOMC decision is out...

Interesting question. I have been simming an approach like that using S/R levels I have derived myself and trading with a directional bias. I start with one ES and double at each level (which could be ten points apart). At the end of the day I look at the maximum loss at each level as my size...

Ivanovich, There is an excellent book entitled "The Rotten Heart of Europe; the dirty war for Europe's money" by Bernard Connolly. He was a British state economist and was sacked for publishing an expose' on the machinations of the politicians and bankers who pushed the Euro into existence...

Best of luck in your purchase. Hopefully this won't be perceived as presumptuous but if I could point out something it would be that your paper is not worthless, it is just worth less over time as the result of inflation. So if you buy gold as a hedge you will probably do well if your analysis...
