    Short Newmont Mining (NEM)?

    Notice you like Fleckenstein. So let me ask you, do you think the above? Or does Fleckenstein? Listening to the fundamentalist fundamentalists (not a typo) can be dangerous stuff. This guy was bearish on stocks from '96. He sounds so cocky with his, "I told ya so" attitude, but the fact...

    Kazaa

    It's a bit worse than that Aphie. I have a couple thousand MP3s. Sure I might not have bought them all, but now I haven't had to buy any. (2 years now!)

    3rd Party as American political force

    What are the prospects of a 3rd party ever becoming a substantial political force in the US? From what I can see the only two possibilities are with the Greens and Libertarians. Does anyone think that either of these two could ever attain any kind of 'critical mass' to make an ideological...

    How about a ECONOMICS forum?

    Lol. Any more forums and I'm gonna burn out my mousewheel!

    Short Newmont Mining (NEM)?

    I could try. I was long this for couple months, got out at the absolute low of June 10! Argh! (Faulty crystal ball.) How much room do you plan on giving it?

    who play?

    Oh yes very smooth. I invite you take a punt on any of the commodity markets, they're virtually entirely professional. A few limit days against your position should help you decide just how 'smooth' they are.

    market tv shows suck

    I actually kinda enjoy watching market shows. Obviously not because I plan to get any investment advice from them -- no shit! -- but to me it's just fun listening to people talk about the markets. Cavuto's show is pretty good, one of my favorites. Jim Rodgers has definitely proven himself...

    Unrealistic expectations or a bunch of market wizards?

    How have you calculated that damir? $50/1000? But you're dividing points by dollars. The ES contract is worth 1000pts x $50. To keep the unit the same, wouldn't you have to divide dollars by dollars? $50/(1000 x $50) ie, .001, like Gap said? Therefore, to make the same daily dollar...

    Yuk, yuk yuk Wow. You can tapdance, you're a comedian -- and to think I was mourning Bob Hope.

    Jokes

    Sitting at home bored one day, Superman decides to check out what the other superheroes are doing while there are no crimes to stop. He flies past Spiderman's house and sees him relaxing with a beer watching the game. Thinks to himself, nah, that's boring. He flies past Batman and...

    Nah, there is only rubbish. Clueless dreamers and more clueless dreamers. ps -- Even you used to write very good posts! :)

    The old threads.

    I have spent some time reading through the older threads on this site, from a couple of years ago. Very good information there! Much, much more interesting and informative than the junk that gets dicussed now. Some very clued in folks used to post on ET.

    what are bonds and notes?

    Well, I'm going to laugh at you Gekko. How the hell you could you have been trading since 1999 and not know what a bond is? Obviously you don't have to know in order to trade stocks, but I must admit that I find it truly surprising that someone could have been around financial markets for...

    Unrealistic expectations or a bunch of market wizards?

    No. When we used to live in the same house I used to watch him trade, but I wasn't trading then. I'm on IM with him a lot during the day, and I ask him about positions, opinions and stuff, but I'm no daytrader -- well, rarely, anyway (and I suck!) -- so whatever he's doing doesn't really...

    Unrealistic expectations or a bunch of market wizards?

    True, it's just that if you're holding positions for 10 days, it seems a little silly to be saying, "I average X pts a day". The entire notion of "per day" has daytrading written all over it and daytrading, rightly wrongly, tends to be associated with scalping (whatever is meant by...

    The End Of An Era!

    TM, that is one funny ass post (even if it does belong in my gay thread). :D ! Ps -- is that what they look like in America? man, that thing is ug-lee. The ones in Australia -- "people movers" they're referred to as -- look much nicer.

    Gay marriages

    Do you? Why is the onus only on me? I've argued my points well. Any idiot can see that they're not of the sort that require data for verification. Let me just ask you -- are you actually questioning whether some men have been, have "thought", they were heterosexual and only later...

    Gay marriages

    TM, I am truly thrilled to say that for once I truly agree with you 100%. This is beside my point, but I too am absolutely sick and tired of hearing homosexuality promoted -- yes, it's UNAVOIDABLE in the media! -- as this alternative lifestyle choice, and not as the totally abnormal, deviant...
