    BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

    Being suspicious is always a good thing. Doubting people, even family can be sometimes better than blindly trusting them. I love the fact how some subscribers always idolize the guru. Even with emini-addict, which has the lowest subscription rate i know of, this subscriber is in awe that he...

    BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

    If the book doesn't explain what to do is it useful? Here some excerpt from Amazon.com reviews, hilarious: "He trades strictly price action, no indicators, which is the only true path to trading success. This style of trading goes all the way back to the greats like Jesse Livermore." :D...

    Hedge Fund/Trader Documentaries

    How do you objectively determine what is bad news and good news? And how do you determine whether market is legitimately rising or doing a quick run to the upside before going down? "Right before any big drop you will probably get a quick final rise, and right before any big rise you will...

    Which real live future trading room I should choose?

    FB123, do you trade an advanced form of tape reading - i.e. watching the price/DOM tick by tick to trade the news? I could never find a way to trade the news profitable. "... after a runup like that and good news coming out, if it doesn't spike higher immediately and keep going, it's...

    Which real live future trading room I should choose?

    I would only recommend him if the person wanted to see one style of trading in action. His style is definately not fit for everybody and likewise not the type of trading that will make you a millionaire through trading. Use to think he was a nice guy too but the picture just doesn't add up. Is...

    Freddie Mae and Fannie Mae are long term solvent

    Bronte’s position At Bronte we have thought that the pre-tax, pre-provision profits were sufficient to recapitalise the GSEs for a while. We purchased large holdings of these securities below 2 cents in the dollar. Eventually the preferreds started rising leading to some financial-press...

    Freddie Mae and Fannie Mae are long term solvent

    Implications I have tried modelling this half a dozen ways and the result is fairly robust. If anything the GSEs (especially Freddie) are solvent quicker than the model I have presented suggests. Indeed if the tax losses are allowed to be bought back as capital they will reach solvency a...
