LOL I especially respect you humorous comments amongst such a derisive audience.:)

Our prisons are more filled than any European country as well.

Yes, I would do all the things you mentioned. My turn: Would you please define "conscience"?

Your response is stupifying. Are you really proposing that what has occured a mere 225 years ago no longer has bearing on the US decision-making process? Do you do realize our constitution is nearly this old? Is its lack topicality reason enough to dismiss its content? How would I possibly...

I would do whatever my conscience permitted, which I think is what Saddam's regime is doing. The differences in what their consciences, my conscience, or your conscience permits are debatable ethical points. And I hereby dare you to take any standpoint and make an argument of ethical...

I Missed Boat, Thankyou for clearing things up. KymarFye, I don't watch TV and missed the POW videos. The other evidence you site is reasonable save one - Soldiers out of uniform dressed as civilians. Actually, maybe it is reasonable but not one the US has always followed. During the...

I am not good with the obvious, please elaborate. In other words, please provide the evidence.

I forgot to mention that when "in the zone" occurs (as experienced by myself on the athletic fields and at the poker tables) it is not thrilling. I have not pinned down an exact definition of what the zone is exactly, yet, but have a few descriptions: Relaxed Concentration (see: The Mental Game...

Thankyou for the post, although I am a tad confused as to your point. I did not mean to state, or even imply, that the markets are random. Quite the contrary! As far as the timeline for understanding variation I tend to agree, though would like to expediate the process.:) P.S. To Jack...

Eyes, good or bad, ended and I was left with the same sick and disturbed feeling as I had with many of his other films. It doesn't sound like a good thing but those are the movies I always come back to. I have seen Eyes 5 times and still don't truly have an opinion on its content. Also, has...

Thankyou DB for your assistance, I'll be leaving Elite Trader shortly to begin my self-matriculation.:D

Is proper format known 'a priori' or 'a posteriori'?

Two questions: (1) What understanding of price action does one gain from a non-mechanical approach and how? (2) Would this understanding not aid an individual in developing a mechanical approach to trading? p.s. I concur with your conclusion wholeheartedly that a mechanical approach...

I have downloaded and begun reading your suggestion. This one will take some time to digest, thankyou.:)

Db, Your point is well taken. Eventually I must always return to the charts and more simply, price. Here is an example of my current dilemma: Given two "systems" (1) MA crossovers or (2) MACD crossovers how is a decision made as to which is superior at any given point in time? More...

The simplest version of my previous post: I apologize.

oddiduro & links, http://www.investorhome.com/psych.htm Fascinating! Tversky and Kahneman ... "found that individuals are much more distressed by prospective losses than they are happy by equivalent gains." I have been told that Call Options are proportionally held to expiration at a...

dbphoenix & longshot, Emotions such as greed, fear, etc. are useful in identifying present-state qualities of the individual. When one can identify a fearful individual, one can then make certain decisions about that individual's future behaviour. However, two questions come to mind. One...

I stand corrected. It is by necessity that prices are determined by the traders' reactions. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool. My new question is, what drives a trader's reactions?

More condensed than this and you have silence. Which if you're into the Eastern religions may be an optimal way to trade. Under a bo tree one will find Nirvana... or Amazon at $6:p
