Maybe you can get on the inside by paying for the seminar, who really knows? I recall when the "Nothing Down" course in real estate investing came out way back in the day. Everybody said "it is a scam, why would they tell you.....etc., etc. ad nauseum. I knew a guy that had a part time job and a...

Like a lot of things in life, it's about the funding. Funding attracts good managers, good managers and funding attracts the talent. Rutan and his crew is definitely talent so here we go. I am really getting elated about the prospect of flying in that thing. I have to start working out so I...

I want to go on that ride!! Think of the view! 4 minutes of weightlessness is what I think I read, not like being in orbit but hey, weightlessness + view = once in a lifetime experience. Max

Taken from John Mauldin's letter.. An economist and an investor are helplessly lost on a hike through the peaks and valleys of the Dow and NASDAQ mountain ranges, well, the Rockies. The investor sticks a wet finger in the air to find his direction via the prevailing wind. The economist is...

Agree 100%. Once you get in the habit of doing your own thinking including your own research you will be surprised as to what you can learn and how far ahead of "the experts" you can get in so many areas of life.

Thank you, that is one less thing to worry about. :D

I think Qcharts has the data but they did not have a backtester last time I looked. Tradestation 2000 is really difficult to deal with but if you use it for backtesting and use QCharts data or Esignal data you can download bid/ask tick data into your computer and backtest on it. QCharts probably...

With a cash account you can't use the proceeds from a sale for 3 days. The firms that were ignoring that were in violation. I know that Mytrack would not let me use proceeds for 3 days in a cash account. The trick was to get a margin account, not that I wanted to use the margin, I just did not...

The state never had an energy crisis until the summer when the state of Washington had a heat wave and did not have energy to sell to them. California had not produced enough electricity to meet it's own peak needs, due to environmentalists blocking every attempt to get new electricity plants...

I thought it was odd when FERC took no action at all but put yourself in their shoes: One state (California) is run by a left of center government for decades and is heavily influenced by environmentalists who fervently oppose energy production of any kind. The other states produce enough for...

I blame California for being so WEAK in the area of energy production. Traders saw a wounded dinosaur and they killed the thing and ate it. If they did criminal things I won't miss them while they are doing the time but hey, they were traders, they just overdid it. The lesson to other states...

I like Bollinger Bands, many use Average True Range.

If volatility falls way down and stays that way for awhile typically you will see a big move after awhile. Predicting which way is the hard part and if you can't predict the direction you will get stopped out in false moves in the wrong direction. Max

Stick with Quote.com and you will become so adept at trading with bad data and outages that you will someday become a leader of the Yahoo forums!! Max

Yes and about all Ney did in his "expose" book was to publish some charts and then make hypothesis' about what insiders (company leadership) were doing. I don't think he proved anything at all. Ney's stuff is right up there with other conspiracy theories. Max

The people aren't that bad at all. I know many here in Southern California, I joke about them from time to time but basically they are shaped by their krappy 10th century culture in Iraq of recent years, give them democracy, high speed internet and DirecTv and they will do fine. One of the guys...

I have had my salary capped by the corporation that I work for for several years. The first thing I did was to make a list of "what can I get out of the place before I get out of the place" and the second list was "what can I pull out of the deal". Believe me, once that salary cap went into...

It's too late, they are all living in Southern California.. bomb it too, it is your only hope!! Max

The insurgency in Iraq has about 10% support there from what I hear. Democracy is working in Turkey and Algeria, can work in Iraq. Maybe we can turn the govening and the insurgency problems over to Iraqis and they can succeed where we never will? Max
