    Short Housing

    Off topic but relates to the general economy. It seems like retail store inventories are thinning in my area(big city). Things like deodorant, shampoo, furniture wax, etc.. Where you used to have ten products to choose from, now only three or four. Not nearly as much selection. Bad economic...

    Indicator missing

    $5000 at 5.7%/mo for 12 years componded is $14,647,657 or 292,953%. At the end you'd have to take 732,000 share positions in $20 stocks if you used all your capital for each trade though. Your size would probably screw up your system unless you split it up between many dozens of smaller...

    The modern "Family"

    Does anybody else notice this stuff? The little 5 year old girl who was kidnapped yesterday. The police found a body today. Her mother was on TV pleading for her child. There was no husband with her. At the time the child disappeared the mother was working and had dumped the girl at her...

    Short Housing

    I know someone who's three properties values balooned over the last five years. They've only owned them for about 8 years. Because money is cheap now they refinanced, and because their properties values are higher now they were able to borrow an additional $50k(bigger mortgages), less than half...

    Andersen then and now

    Interesting note. The Arthur Anderson was the name of the ship that was watching over/guiding the Edmund Fitzgerald by radio after it lost its radar equipment and the lighthouse malfunctioned. The Fitzgerald went off course, hit the bottom and sank. One of the biggest maritime disasters in this...

    Going to hell in a hand basket

    . Big bidness LOL That would be several orders of magnitude worse than the troubles we already have. It would be like "welcome to Mogadishu". Oh jeez! God save the Queen! (Oh no, I've regresssed to a colonial mentality.) Good thing we have the law (and that a majority of the...

    Market Dreams

    Platypus, maybe after all the research your mind put "two and two together" while you were asleep. If it was me I would watch for an unbelievably big spike for the next few days, a real ripper, call it confirmation if it occurs, and double up my short position when it starts to reverse (with...

    Building a new tower ???

    Concerning the Zip or Cd burner, please excuse my ignorance, what files would I need to copy ?? A floppy has always met my past needs? . Say you have 200 50kb charts, 80 spreadsheets, emails, bookmarks, correspondences, and 50 other things you don't want to lose if your hard drive shreds...

    Going to hell in a hand basket

    One thing I did hear Bush say at a news conference recently was that he would not support the dollar even though it was falling. I was sort of shocked. Didn't Baker or Meese say that in the seventies and cause a recession? I think at the time it was considered the biggest economic blunder in...

    Going to hell in a hand basket

    You complain too much. When I was your age we only had one winning trade for every fifty, and win was smaller than the average loss. And we liked it!:mad:

    THat hot HOusing Market....

    The media has been pumping real estate and denigrating equities for about two months now. There has been a big fade going on in both IMO. Real estate is way up, equities are way down, and what they are advising the listener to do is to sell their equities and buy real estate. :confused: To...
