mike i understand what you are saying, and in some ways i agree with you. the assumption you are making though, is that a smoothing out of the equity curve by scaling out is necessarily successful simply because the attempt is made to do it. ie, the trader goes for smaller $ amount gains (by...

wan2be, think about it man. how in the world are those "professionals" gonna be able to pay their taxes unless 25% is withheld till year's end? hey, how'd we all know which firm smokey's at? :D

hmm, i think this thread's gonna 'whipsaw' you nitro...

i see you haven't lost any of your evading skills 'dolt. i'll give you another shot. what period of history AFTER this 'fall of man' (groan! i can't believe i'm talking this shit, lol) was better than today? don't bother, i'll answer it for you. NONE.

er, let me make a slight correction to those figures don. 90% of businesses fail in the first year? wow, the legend grows... mind telling us where you got this stat from? or was it just a mental slip, as the figures i most often see are 80% in the first 5 years (cos, as we both know, a...

hahaha! i think you're even more obnoxious than me! :D but you are definitely wrong in thinking that share volume is any measure of how good a trader someone is. definitely wrong. and i'd have to agree with aphie on this one, it does seem that you've just woken up and realised your...

what do you mean by that ? hope you're not saying your'e too big for the eminis...

hey canyonman, if ya ever run for office dude, lemme know, i'll be your right hand man! :) just a bit of an issue with that last paragraph.. i wouldn't say that's where race acceptane BEGINS,... i am truly shocked that in this day and age somebody would still have issues with race... (U.S...

p2, i think that's the one most people tend to have a litte trouble with.. :)

agree. and just in case some out there haven't heard it, here's the old plug again, "when you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have them."

i disagree. at the end of the day what truly is the most important is the dollar amount of profit or loss, not the smoothness of the way you got there. i mean, that's how you determine whether you've traded well or not isn't it? by the amount of money made or lost. making money and doing it...

yes, i have found from speaking with people that they usually don't REALLY know exactly why they are voting for a certain candidate. or, if they didn't actually vote, but are bitching about a particular candidate's election to office, they usually don't REALLY know exactly what their gripe is...

well yeah, i do "feel" that the world is a great place in its present condition, but not only do i "feel" it, i think that i'm backed up by all sorts of evidence. so i am most certainly NOT without reason. we can compare the world to how we THINK it should be, which normally proves to be an...

and if markets really do overshoot on both upside AND downside, then we should probably expect Dow 3500-4500 too..

but that's not doubling down then, is it

when it comes to the markets, they both amount to the same thing. in my opinion.... (or, wait a sec, i'm convinced that's the case:D) daytrader, imo, with some types of trades there can be a point where you feel the stock might adversely move, but rather than waiting for it to move there, you...

trading is probably a little easier in a bull market, and if this decline continues on for much longer, there's not going to be much of a stock market left to trade, but to say that "the point of trading even when you're net negative is the slim hope that the market will turn around in the...

hahaha! we MUST be getting close to the end of an economic cycle when you start hearing doomsday predictions like that... i'll take the part about capitalism being destroyed as a joke, but do you seriously think it's LIKELY the economy will stagnate for 10-20 years? possible, but i'd hardly...

what's really amazing is how some people can always find a cloud in every silver lining.. i'll answer the rest of your drivel later, but just quickly, when you post insanely stupid comments like the above, honestly, how do you really expect people to take you seriously? millions more...
