Nice run-on sentence. Is that another savant trait? I'm not concerned with a single trade, though. I'd like to see proof that you've outperformed the S&P 500 for the last two years (or more). If you have it, send a link. If not, this conversation is over.

Sorry, TJ. Maybe you can try proflogic's method next if you want another trading thread failure.

1) I tried his service and chat room back when he had one. I spent hours with it, trying to make it "objective" (as he called it). The results? Nothing more than break-even at best. The more I studied it, the more I realized it was pure sophistry. He always used hindsight analysis to show...

I looked up his house once and it was estimated to be worth around $350-375. That may mean it would sell for $300K if he's lucky. If his trading ability was even 1/1000th of what he claimed, he'd be much better off. And let's not get into Buffett comparisons. Ol' Warren lives cheap but his...

I call someone out on a blatant logical fallacy and he responds with a bunch of worthless platitudes...and the burden of proof is on me? Nope. I doesn't work that way.

+1. This is like a kid secretly starting a fire in the neighborhood park -- only to rush out with pails of water once people notice it. The Fed is supposed to take credit for preventing something it helped start? In what kind of backasswards world does that happen?

You're ASSuming all kinds of things. The Fed didn't save anything, though they certainly helped us get into the mess. Just go on being a happy, dumb, quiet little lamb. The more you type, the less intelligent you appear.

You didn't answer my question. Maybe you'd find Pravda more to your liking.

So if the Fed says it, it's ipso facto true. ..

But MartinHowltAtTheMoon approved that statement. Please respect the Fed's junior apologists on here. If we don't respect them, no one will.

Oh, but if we only spent $XXXX millions more on edumacation, all our problems would be solved.

What happens to all these highly-educated geniuses? They end up in sky-high tax brackets, and have little motivation to innovate or do great things. They can do just as well living on the dole. That's why you don't see many great innovations in IT, medicine, manufacturing, etc., from these...

I haven't looked at the P/E data carefully, but small-caps have been on a tear. In addition, the Russell 2000 recovered from the 2000-2003 and 2008 crashes more quickly than the S&P 500 or Nasdaq (which is still well below its all-time high). If any index is in a bubble, it's the Russell...

Wow, you actually believe that? This assumes that the law would be adhered to exactly as written. http://money.cnn.com/2013/10/28/news/economy/obamacare-deficits/ In case you haven't paid attention, the law is having about 3,000 hiccups, deviations and discrepancies a day right now...

I don't like any of these gov't medical boondoggles, but to bring up Medicare Part D during the middle of Obamacare -- by far the biggest train wreck yet? It takes a moron of epic proportions to try that. BTW, Stupidity: 2006 just called and wants their news item back.

Define "help." In what way? At what cost? In what time horizon -- short-term, mid- or long-term or what? It's funny how many people with advanced degrees can't make basic distinctions or spot fallacious thinking.

Dumb generalization. "People do not have the right to unregulated rights in this country." Al "Socrates" Sharpton

Well, it's 4.5 years later. What's the truth since none of the links work? :D

Nice to see we can be frank, non-PC and non-racist at the same time. If I said TX-Mexican border towns are being overrun by Mexican gangs, that's not a slight against all Mexicans. Likewise, if I said "Irish mob thugs ruined that neighborhood 60 years ago," I'm not slamming all Irish folk...
