    I have 200k in my IRA, would like to trade it

    In the unlikely event that this is not just a trolling post... I would highly recommend splitting your $200k into several different asset classes via ETF's and simply rebalancing yearly. You could buy VTI (total US stock market), EEM (emerging market stocks), TLT (long term US treasuries)...

    Free Shit?

    Yes, on a daily basis the media and the Dems tell the people providing the "free shit" that they aren't doing their fair share and any talk of reducing the amount of "free shit" makes them evil. Meanwhile, we see green energy company after company going BK, we see the GSA living it up on...

    Feds eye retirement-fund tax to cut $16 trillion-plus deficit

    It's revolution time if they seize retirement accounts in any fashion.

    DJIA vs DIA candle chart different

    You are correct. I guess the point I wast trying to make is that DIA is not an equal weight ETF. I'm not aware of an equal weight etf for the DJIA

    Debtor prisons are back

    My business is not farming, nor is it greatly dependent on weather. That is an example, but there are 1000's of other reasons that are completely out of an owners control that could cause the failure of a business. In a system where debtors go to jail, you would have little debt. That...

    Debtor prisons are back

    LOL. Clearly you have never run a business. I have, and do currently (successfully I might add). Please show me a business that is such a no-brainer that you would risk jail time. There aren't any, and anyone that has run a business knows there is often a VERY fine line between...

    Debtor prisons are back

    What banks are loaning money to "every dumbass with a half-baked idea" for business start ups? Credit cards, auto loans, etc.... yeah pretty much everyone can get those. But lender beware. You loan money to idiots, you're likely have a high default rate. The risk of default is either...

    Debtor prisons are back

    Yes. That is how a loan works. You lend money and assume risk of default. Our entire economy benefits from entrepreneurs and lenders being able to take on risk through lending. How many start ups do you think there would be if one had to go to prison or work off debts?..... Not many

    Building a live account - $1,000 to more than $3,000,000 in 30 years

    I'm not at all shocked that 95% of traders lose.

    DJIA vs DIA candle chart different

    Buying DIA is like buy all 30 stocks at the same time (market cap weighted). Do you think buying all 30 stocks is going to match the DJIA? Why don't you just look at the DJIA charts, and trade DIA or YM? They will move nearly identical to one another. The fact is you cannot actually...

    DJIA vs DIA candle chart different

    If you can't answer this question for yourself, you probably don't understand the DJIA as well as you think you do.

    Obama care

    You must not have paid much attention during the days when that bill was thrown together. It was complete chaos. They definitely did not pre-plan for it being ruled unconstitutional. Most of them didnt even have time to read the entire bill and have admitted such. They purposely left out the...

    Why you shouldn't use Shadowstats

    You have to take Shadowstats with a grain of salt. However, you probably should take the Fed's data with a grain of salt as well. Maybe the best thing to do would be to take shadowstats + Fed/2 to give you a more realistic average

    US Unemployment better than expected. Job creation much worse than expected???

    I think 200k is considered the number needed to keep up with population growth. Of course that is out the window, when so many people are dropping out of the labor pool. You can still have UE numbers going down, even though there is no job creation to speak of. You also have to consider...

    This is how I made my money. (Detailed methods reveiled)

    I read an article that analyzed data and concluded that if you would have been buying gold overnight and shorting during the day session you would have made a killing in recent years
