    Can this market get any more pathetic

    Trafding is addictive in many ways. You've got to be careful with any career: any time you don't want free time, that's a potential warning sign something's wrong! I'm not saying that's your case, but it's something to look out for...

    Can this market get any more pathetic

    My two cents: don't know your style, but I believe swing traders can do almost as well if they are a little more selective right now. There are bargains: I just sold RYAAY today for 42.30 after getting it for 40.10 yesterday. The market is going into its typical indecision mode, but even so...

    Can an average guy make a living at trading?

    Here's a few things that have helped me greatly: 1. I think the #1 thing that kills you when you're beginning is the varied market conditions that occur in the course of a typical year. You have to change your thinking as the market changes personality and this is often seems...

    Hotel California

    I've heard a 100 different times from a 100 different people that Page bought Crowley's home. Here's a link from a skeptic's site that shows the connection to Jimmy Page: http://skepdic.com/crowley.html

    Hotel California

    When I was a kid, rumor was that Hotel California was a "house of prostitution". And we spent a lot of time looking at that little figure of Satan on the cover . Good luck figuring out 70's lyrics! These people were all on the other side of the Looking Glass where it was fashionable to...

    Trader's Stuff

    I'll prove myself the geek's geek with the following question: has anyone seen any sites with good trading ? I'm most interested in screen savers, posters, hats, etc. (Please no paper weights, shot glasses, coffee mugs, etc.)

    How old are you?

    fyi: There's no reason to experience significant mental declines as you age. I'm 43 and I believe that I am learning music and trading at almost the same rate that I would have 20 years ago. The only thing that slows me down is having a preschooler (and I wouldn't trade him for a million...

    XP... Slowww Boot... Help, please

    Don't forget that XP has the ability to go back in time. One time I found that I could not connect high speed and I simply went back two days and all was well.

    Oih

    I bought OIH near the open on price action and it's stayed in positive territory, which is good, but I don't like the feeling of not knowing what drives the price of co's like Halliburton, Schlumberger, etc. The price has been swinging around rapidly and I guess I'm asking how closely it's...

    IB Is VERY Slow Cashing Checks...

    I stand corrected. And, yes, I'll quit whining. Sometimes, when you're the little guy, you assume the institutions do things to squelch you (a la the PDT rule). But, as you pointed out, IB always the opposite philosophy which I genuinely appreciate. I'll try to subdue my paranoia in the...

    IB Is VERY Slow Cashing Checks...

    *************************************************** You should check into the fraud that def points out. A guy wrote two checks for two accounts a few years back and arb'ed them against each other. He only had enough funds to cover one of the checks in his acct. Sure "money is money", but you...
