Ben Franklin said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." The problem isn't obtaining intelligence information, it's acting on it in a timely manner in an appropriate direction. All the necessary information to prevent...

Well, if you want to base it on morality, there's a lot of other things Isreal's doing that I find much more troubling on a morality standpoint. A little insider-trading is the least of my worries. If the guy shorted companies and businesses he had on his list of bomb-targets OTOH, I'd be a...

Researching "what" something is, like how it's structured and set up isn't as fascinating as "why" and "how". Read up on the background of the formation of the Fed in "The Creature from Jekyll Island". :)

Here's a chart of the action for a week beforehand, didn't show up under hot-linking above: yea, shorting the firms that had offices inside the towers as well as the insurance companies is a sure bet as well. Also going long on the weapons manufacturers is another sure thing. Any one of...

Hmmmm, looks more like a short play to me. I'd wait for confirmation of the breakdown. Maybe if it drops below support of 55-56, then I'd short it. Otherwise, personally, I wouldn't go long unless it broke out above 67 or so on strong +100% volume increases.

It's not must on 9/10, the activities had spiked the week leading up to it. The records were never ever released (like the blueprints & engineering details of the WTC). How the 9/11 Commission came up with their data is suspect considering the "science" used in the analysis of the...

yeah, you can get those ATI cards pretty much for free. They only cost $39 or so when new a couple years ago... And they'll actually go up to 1600x1200@60hz as well. :) Plug that into a 20" LCD and you're set. Of course, it won't be as sharp as using DVI, but you'd barely notice the difference...

I'm gonna back up a bit here and point out the big-picture patterns of how we learn. Obviously, new information must be learned by the beginner in order to get into trading. HOW and WHO you learn this from is vitally important. This unknown knowledge must of course come from someone else, either...

I would've learned to trade the downward trends just as well as the up...

Well, the highly-desirable areas typically aren't affected by the crazy mad-rushes and downturns very much. That's because there's only a limited supply of these homes and a limited supply of buyers who can afford such places. As such, the prices of these homes seem to be much more steady...

I don't see what the big deal is. It's nothing compared to the 6000-9000% increase in puts activity on American & United Airlines in the days leading up to 9/11...

yeah, just a bunch of sheep and lemmings. I've found it's usually more profitable to just do the opposite of what the analysts recommends...

Yeah, for the original-poster's goal of losing his handles, 1-hour/day of exercise is more than enough. About 5-6 hours/week of exercise incorporating various types from weight/strength workouts, HIT (intervals) to steady cardio/aerobic will be fine. This will result in a 1-lb/wk weight-loss...

Gee, for a 146 views, we've only got 13 votes. What's up?

Yeah, It'd rather pay 28% of a %100 gain, than try to eek out a 10% tax-savings and end up with only a 15% gain...

I agree. I doubt posting your account totals, the real P&L, will in any way hinder your future results. Even listing the trades after-the-fact won't give away anything about your strategies and tactics.

Look at what tariffs did for the US small-truck or LCD-panel industries. By artifically raising the cost of imported goods, you just give domestic companies a blank check to raise their prices up to that same level. The domestic companies sit pretty on their bigger profits (coming out of the...

So THAT'S your secret system, eh? Trading DRUNK !!! :)

I've never believed in magic 'til now...

The learning never ends...
