    Tax Free Savings Account

    I talked to the people at IB yesterday and I was told that there was a high probability they would not be offering the account. I've looked at several sites and I have yet to see futures on the list of possible instruments... possibly due to the leverage... as mentioned above. B

    Historical Data Pace Exceeded with IB

    If You Need To Buy GM.....Think Pink

    The cheap crappy interiors of ALL GM models hasn't helped them along the way... can you say "Thanks Delphi". I had a Cadillac CTS-V. It had the worst interior of all time... "Thanks Delphi." B

    If You Need To Buy GM.....Think Pink

    Excellent post... except for the last sentence. They have (imho) the worst product lineup of the big three. Chrysler is a very close 2nd last place. B

    What is the hardest college major?

    YES... and I was a biochemistry major at University. I used shake my head at my buddies who were taking 'psych' or whatever because they didn't have to take any labs. Christ, all those labs were a pain in the ass. B

    Can anyone reflect on taking college psychology or behavioral finance for trading?

    A good approach IS the Macro view. Follow Cutten and some others around this site - the Eric P's (just created a thread that you need to read), the Lescors etc. B p.s. Another good book (my favourite) is Pit Bull by Martin S. If you can approach the markets like this guy, you don't need...

    Can anyone reflect on taking college psychology or behavioral finance for trading?

    Take statistics instead. It's been the biggest applicable university level course that has helped me with trading... means, data collection and interpretation... The rest is discipline and following your rules... which Mom taught you when you were 3. B

    Trader lifestyle

    I could be wrong, but improvement in trading for me was an awarness of price. Price is everything. The idea being that I won't enter unless I get the price I want. The only times I loose money (significantly) are on implusive moves, usually due to an entry outside of my desired price. The...

    Swiss likely to approve prescription heroin

    How has (or does) 'H' affect your trading... apparently it makes your writing less than acceptable? What kind of affect can a criminal record have on your ability to trade? I imagine there isn't one but I haven't been on the other side of the fence in a while... B
