Also anything about finance with the word "forecaster" is also bogus. Even weather forecasting with all the satellites and scientific analysis is no good more than a week out. There are no 'price satellites' indicating what's coming next in a price series, yet naive traders still believe in...

It is often a stupid cliche because not everybody is doing what they do just for money. But some people obviously are in it for the money, e.g., traders, and most economists. And of course some stupid people do get rich (pro athletes, other 'celebrities', heirs and heiresses, lotto winners)...

You're actually in a pretty good place. Like you, I have an engineering background, which means we come to trading unencumbered with silly assumptions like EMH, which somebody with an economics background gets burdened with. Just start looking at price movements with fresh eyes and ask...

Somebody should offer him some cheese with that whine. :mad:

Gurus. :eek::p:D

Gone for good?

Good communication skills are always relevant, especially on a message board where all anybody knows about you is what and how you post. So far you're just a semi-literate noob with delusions of grandeur. Good luck with that. :D

It's impossible to take seriously a 'guru' who doesn't know the difference between there and their. :p

So far Cantor is the only incumbent Republican to get turfed out by a tea party challenger. So much for a "trend".

Exactly. This was not a tea party victory. The facts are that Eric Cantor made himself uniquely unpopular, and it wasn't confined to his stance on amnesty. His ratings before the election were 30% favorable, 63% unfavorable. He would have lost to "None of the above." :D

I watched it a few times during its first season, then it got old. One guy described it perfectly as "the sitcom that pretends to be a reality TV show". This was long before the Phil incident.

I'm amused by the fact that Cantor's pollsters kept telling him that he was way ahead. Anybody who sucks that badly at their job should not only be fired, they should be required to refund at least half of their fees.

S'okay, I was being sarcastic myself. Like I give a fuck whether Cantor gets renominated or replaced by somebody even batshit-crazier. But there are some conservative Jews (yes they do exist) suddenly realizing they don't even have token representation in Congress anymore. Interesting times...

Hmmm ... righties get rid of the only non-Christian Republican in Congress. So much for "diversity". :D

Rather than just assuming we know what you mean, why don't you give a brief description of each choice/category? I'm not yet convinced they are mutually exclusive and comprehensive. For example, right now I can easily see overlap between swing trading and trend following, which means your...

He gets all his money from books full of anecdotal nonsense and scam seminars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyosaki#Controversy

That's just a small sample of the sewage in your head but more than enough to make my point. Here's the bottom line, klanboy. You for whatever inbred reason decide to interject race into this thread with all the subtlety of Godzilla stomping through a big city, you get called on it and then...

I'm not offended by the picture, I'm offended by the poster. That would be you: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showpost.php?p=3005708&postcount=9 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showpost.php?p=3262333&postcount=39 Geez, dude, you post all your racist shit and then you act like nobody can use the...

And naturally left unmentioned is the picture you posted. Clearly you are clueless on the concept of a dog whistle. Or you're foolishly hoping the rest of us are. Given your posts in p&r, perhaps you shouldn't bring up the names of your fellow travellers like David Duke. Alas there are no...

I'm willing to accept the premise that trading risk, as differentiated from risk in general, is bound to uncertainty, as long as we avoid the fallacy of equating the two. Given that starting point, how should we proceed?
