With all due respect I doubt you know the definition of "exponential". If you did you'd not have stated something so outlandish. And 7000-8000 suggests a 190% to 230% gain in NAZ over the next 2 to 4 years. Yeah, right! Go calculate what kind of annual gain that is and then re-think your...

7000-8000? LOL ... you've not been around very long. Then again you're the guy who only plays the long side.

There are some who post here who are not traders; rather they're buy & hold "investors" (i.e. stock_trad3r). Second, there are plenty here who can't even spell the word "short", let alone play the short side. Last, most posts on this thread should be read for entertainment purposes only...

Ummmmmm, the easiest way is to just pay off the card in full each month. You're trying to avoid some credit card interest with your approach. Isn't that what IB is doing by not paying any interest on the first $10K? So you're "losing" interest ($500/year @ 5%) and you're saving how much on...

You signed an agreement with them, as we all did. I believe each client accepts the system (quotes) as is. I too have open positions but given their reliability over the 4+ years I've been with them occasionally these days happen. I'd suggest you call the trading desk directly. Sure, they're...

Actually the bozo likely wasn't attempting humor ... go look at his posting history (all of 12 posts). At least half of his posts are anti-MB.

Trading is work .. at least for anyone who does it full time. Not much different than any corporate job where one has to put forth effort. It's not a game, as many wanna-be traders seem to think. And I greatly enjoy trading ... the freedom is the best part. Again, you can't comprehend my...

With all due respect your post shows a lot of naive thinking and/or a lack of understanding of the markets. You seemingly assume that traders only make money in bull markets from your citing 1996-1999 and post 2003. Most any trader who does this for a living plays both ways, long and short...

Why would one need to make 2-3 times their salary? Greed? If one trades remote then they have no commute, no expenses on business attire, no lunches out at restaurants, etc. That savings alone could likely pay for health insurance premiums. Paid vacations at a job? No big deal ... a trader can...

Whether you grew up with computers or not is no big deal. Anyone with the most basic technical aptitude can pick up on using a PC, whether they're 40 or 50. And as far as being faster ... maybe it helps for scalping 500 times a day. But if you're putting on only 2-7 trades a day with your...

Are you one of those virgins? If not, then why not post PAST ACTUAL results? Why would you give up a "guaranteed" system that returns 100% in less than 1/2 year to study to become an RN? You state things like it produces 2-7 trades per day. Sounds to me like you've backtested some...

You have no idea what you're talking about. I live in SC and Spurrier's season was so-so. Alabama loses 2 in the Big 10? I guess they'd only play 3 conference games to achieve that W-L record. I spent 2/3 of my life in Ohio & Michigan and the last 8 years in SC. I'll take Big 10...

I agree ... no brainer .. but Michigan gets the nod. The "weak" Florida wins over FSU (by 7), over South Carolina (by 1) and over Vandy (by 6) are not at all impressive. And Alabama had a bad 2-6 SEC record, so that win isn't overwhelming. Michigan showed they can play with Ohio State. The Ball...

Certainly shorting isn't mandatory to make $$$. But a LOT of people (who don't short) had a tough time from the bubble in early 2000 until the market finally moved up a few years later. I'm sure there are some still expecting (i.e. hoping) for NAZ 5000 again. I have no ego when it comes to...

The perpetual bull speaks! Have you ever shorted a stock in your life?

Single and female, 4:00 am & nude sound good .... forget the "pets" and the crack .... oh, you were kidding ... That guy had to be higher than a kite ... still in critical condition I bet.

If both conditions cited apply then you MUST pay estimated taxes. Not an option in that scenario. However, if one chooses to not pay them then it's not just the simple interest you mentioned. Rather, it would be penalties plus interest.

I've been paying estimated taxes for over 10 years. If you choose to not pay and have tax liability you may owe not only penalties but also interest on the amount owed. From the IRS: Estimated Taxes Estimated tax is the method used to pay tax on income that is not subject to...

You obviously know nothing about real estate. DOM are up. Inventories are way up. Sellers have to be much more realistic when pricing than 1-2 years ago. As I recall you only seem to buy (go long) stocks. You may make $$$ longer term but a trader will make money every day playing both sides...

For a lot of people the money isn't the most important factor. Rather, the freedom and ability to decide WHEN to trade is more appealing. Personally, while in the corporate world I lived well below my income level. So moving to trading 11 years ago wasn't focused on how much $$$ I could make...
