    1% a day consistently: possible?

    The poll question was "1% a day consistently, no down weeks: possible?" Yet 50% of responders say it's possible. But then people who say they make 1% a week talk about large drawdowns. Are people even reading the poll question before answering?

    Profitable?

    1) I've been profitable the whole time. But it took about 7 years to become CONSISTENTLY profitable. 2) No book(s) helped my turn the corner, but there are a number that helped me improve my trading. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Market Wizards, Pit Bull. Of course, it really...

    1% a day consistently: possible?

    1% a day? Don't make me laugh. I've averaged 10% a day for the last year. My worst drawdown is 0.5%. I started with $10K and, after numerous withdrawals, my net worth is about $200 trillion. Don't ask me to prove this because I won't. You just have to take my word for it.

    IB Suggestions & Improvements

    I'd like to get historical charts of IRX and TNX. I always want them on Fed days, but they don't load back data.

    Will the S&P hit 1300 in February?

    How is that showing off? Because I've made a few cents on my position???

    Have you been trading profitably for more than a year?

    Which is somewhere between enormous and humongous, for those keeping count.

    Will the S&P hit 1300 in February?

    I noticed that too. How ridiculous are these people. As for me, still short since 11/25 at 127.04 on the SPY. Fortunately, I've done better on the 10-yr bond short.

    What time is the 30 yr auction happening today?

    I know something is wrong, but that's what it says everywhere (except Bloomberg). http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/ http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5ETYX&t=3m http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?%24tyx I know there has to be a good explanation and I assume it has to do with switching to...

    What time is the 30 yr auction happening today?

    What is going on with the TYX today? The bond is up a little, but the TYX is down big time. http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?%24TYX Is this just a technical factor due to the 30-yr bond issuance yesterday?

    Will the S&P hit 1300 in February?

    We are now below the 50 DMA. Everything is looking down. A decline tomorrow could seal the coffin.

    Will the S&P hit 1300 in February?

    H&S. Lower highs, lower lows. Negative divergence in MACD. Doesn't look good. Right now, we are fighting at the 50 DMA. Today could be key.

    Will the S&P hit 1300 in February?

    Ole turtle? I thought it's the old turkey. And I don't think the old turkey would say it's a bull market right now. With the stock market moving nowhere for the last year, I think the better advice would be: "There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but...
