Volatility is almost always a mean reverting thing. I'd dare say that we are not too far from the time when daytrading Crude Oil will not be as viable as it currently is, (I'd not guess the same thing about Natural Gas though, as its always been very volatile, much more so than the S*P500.)

I don't understand why recession has become a dirty word. It's always been a part of the economic cycle, but it seems like in our I want it now and I never want any setbacks new world we have forgotten anything like that.

Thanks. I already found it. I had gone to the seminar, read most of his other courses and his book etc but did not have this particular one and could not find it anywhere.

All this stuff is helpful enough, but in reality its a pretty simple thing Just like the Nike commercials say "Just do it!" Thats the only way.

Any skilled metalsmith could mint a coin and then put a D on it. Does that mean he did it at the Denver mint? Besides, the Canadians have no reason what so ever to agree to this. It would be stupid for them at this point.

The Euro is at least as much of a house of cards as the dollar ever was, if not more.

Tah Dah!!!! Thats the entire point about this entire naked short shit. It doesnt matter, if a company has value, real value to it, its not going anyplace.

I dont know how high you can compound, I stopped taking new accounts at $26 million and my returns had compressed substantially, but still remainded slightly over 25%. As I said though, I have no idea how far I could have scaled it up, and the simple fact that I may not have been able to do it...

It wont go on forever, but it tends to go on a hell of a lot longer than people think it will. Tends to be that the area which starts the mess goes much lower, much much lower even then anyone thinks is possible. Its not entirely unreasonable to expect that the housing and financials will be...

I have a bunch of old data on gaps I shared on ET. The size of the gaps is likely a bit different now, as it changes with market voaltility, howerver the premise on the size of the gap remains very much in effect.

Not to be an org..but we need one of two things for inflation to come down. Either large increases in production, or a lot more starving kids (children) in the third world. Ideally its number one.

I'd argue that the turtle trader situation proved very little in regard to "anyone" can trade. The reason is that, from my understanding, they did not let just anyone in. There was a pretty extensive interviewing process to seperate people out. I also do think there is an X factor. Anyone can...

Here in a bit I will have something to say about life and keeping on keeping on. I find myself back in the hospital with a strep infection in my hip and leg after having had to have the lymph node in my groin taken out. I have a pretty lenghty surgery again tomorrow and will likely be in the...

Why? He pretty much summed up what the next president will have to deal with and what we have in front of us right now.

Why in the world would you delight so much in the pain and misfortune of others who have nothing to do with your own success or failure? Its kinda sick.

I agree with some of what you say and disagree with other parts of it. The primary point that newbies vastly over-estimate the easyness of making a fortune in the market. My cousin recently asked me if he could give $10,000 to his wife, have me send her a PM on Yahoo Messanger on what to by and...

No suprise they are going broke. I canceled the free subsciption they sent me, god knows why anyone would pay to get it. And I doubt that any serious traders, those who are "29, making 400K a year and spending all of it" have the time to look at the rag between work and impressing their friends.

On the heels of a rather dovish Fed yesterday and $140 oil today the major market averages fell sharply. The Nasdaq, which had been the clear relative strength leader fell the most, losing 79.89 points (3.33%), closing at 2321.37. It was no day at the beach for the S&P500, which lost 38.82...

If he lacks the discipline to follow a plan it hardly matters if that plan is vague or specific. He could have the best plan in the world, but it will not do him any good. To the poster, I wish you the best.
