Hows this for a visual. Picture a dumpster or large bin connected to China by a large chute. Out pour sneakers, laces tangled , flecked with blood and rat feces, colors unsorted. An American worker press fits a lace eyelet ( value added federal tax only for the eyelet), then cleans and...

Pound that 401k hard to the tune of 10% salary pre-tax. 8+ years at your rising professional level and you probaly have something there already. Up to 50% loan usual. Pay yourself back with interest at your own pace. Not saying this is smart... Just saying its a way to access money...

Right, so whats the point, well none really. Just that tech gets a lot of attention while stealth comcerns like AIZ a dental PPO provider is up better than Priceline over the last 12 months. Auto parts and sequester battered defense stocks are stright up also. Again, no point really, just saying.

With a rip roaring 5 year eps growth rate of 2.5 % during the great recovery and a stellar 6% eps growth rate this year and a "koolaid" projected 10% for 2014 this hot company Is still up 40% in the last 12 months after getting cloberred on a downgrade today due to what? Why valuation for...

Listen Robin Hood, With a band of recruits extacting from Wall Street and giving back to The less fortunate......Excellent trading advice preached on this site: "Stop being delusional" .

Jack, You are a predator of some sort and you smell fresh meat.

Poster, I will drop you a pearl here if you are really quite new, as you say, regarless of toes stepped on. I must agree that William O'neil of IBD is a good starting place but......do NOT go down The Jack Hershey rabbit hole. Unless of course you beleive there is a spaceship in the...

Us treasury rates have been discussed on this thread. Pretty big move in 10s and 20+ today with rates rising out there and falling close in. Tightening recently on taper anticipation and good economic news but i cant follow things now so i dont know whats behind this. Off to work.

Etfarb, as one hobyist, home gamer to another who makes their living in another manner (my apologies if i am wrong about that), I picked up and put down Soros's Alchemy of Finance 30 years ago and i wish that i did not. I can read it now(barely). Get the book and sit down with google and...

Fxintruder had a nice journal "Neither Tech or Macro". He was a currencey trader primarly. I learned some things from him. He was very thorough and i think one can learn some from his process , knowledge and work ethic. I have a feeling he was a Market Profile user, but, he never said...

Thanks for great insight. I for one really appreciate it. Funny, as a home gamer, amateur I figured that a shop of professional spreaders would have their statistics and spreadsheets of their products on screen. Quant / mechanical stuff where say, 65% ineficiencies that are profitable when on...

I can say that Uncle Sam pays $200 for a single power transistor that is not extreme quality. Any time you can invoice the government you are fortunate. It wont be any different for underwriting additional healthcare plans for the government. It costs what? Ya, ok, sure , thats alright, next.

Yeah, thats right ..... "Show us your papers!"

Its all good for Cigna (CI)

How about melt up behaviour. Cant be a panic squeeze here. Daily limits on ES seem about 6-10 handles. Disruptives tricks and traps that all traders are expect do not happen. Support and resistance on a daily bar time does not apply(all time highs daily). 180 to 185 once it starts will be...

Came across a peice on the "great sag" of the late 1800's in the US. A twenty year period of deflation. May have been caused by the industrial revolution. I guess the textile loom and other machines put a lot of people out of work and decreased the price of goods. Fast forward and...

Maybe a " which way" Wednesday coming. Europes CPI print was imporant recently. US cpi and fed minutes coming Wednesday. Oil down big and SOME October gov shutdown effect on CPI . Surprise low cpi print? Would be nice to take it down tommorrow for Wednesday. US is at 1.7ish cpi now and...

Times are tough. I am looking to sell my pedigree dog and sink the money into stocks.

Jeez, an unintentional slip where i meant "directs" rather than "derilects" As to the hedge and proxy volatility suggestion i guess i mean two, yet not entirely seperate things. It shouldnt be this way but it has been for five years now that in a rising stock market , US T- notes and...

Last couple auctions of 5 and 10 year notes have been snapped up by directs, and derilects, leaivng low 30ish percent for the primary dealers. I take that as the market saying. " this is the best rate you are going to get for some time now. 2.7ish on the 10." If the funding requirements...
