    How to "sit" on a position during a big move

    I personally prefer the scale out approach. I am quite risk averse so I like to take profits when I see them and limit my downside as much as possible. Scaling out allows you to take profits, limit risk, and let a portion of the trade run. Yes, it limits the upside potential, but reduces the...

    The Ivanovich Memorial Thread - Ivan has left the building...

    I have never seen a thread in chit-chat that didn't belong there. In fact, I'd argue that even MORE threads should be moved to chit-chat.

    Japan Fin Min Noda: Yen moves clearly one-sided

    I for one am watching for BOJ intervention. If/when this happens, get ready to short JPY. For the time being, however, I will stick with the trend.

    Potash Corp. rejects $130-share bid from BHP

    So when you said it's a good time to short POT, you really meant it's not a good time to short POT? :p

    Jacko's managed fund goes bust, investors seek refunds

    I've been reading about this guy on Forexfactory for a few days now. Rough break for those investors. I feel no sympathy, however. Anyone who gives an anonymous forum poster their money deserves to be scammed. This is the exact reason the ETers jump all over new users who hint at selling...

    Is It over For the U.S. - The Ecstasy of Empire

    The reason everyone talks about the US debt crisis is because they are the world's largest economy. It makes sense for everyone to be more concerned with the USA than any other country. If (when?) the USA goes bankrupt, the economic impact will be huge and will affect every other country, so...

    Potash Corp. rejects $130-share bid from BHP

    POT is absolutely nothing like Yahoo. The fundamentals and growth prospects are very strong.....Yahoo....not so much.

    Point of picking your own stocks vs say SPY or DIA ?

    Simple: higher risk, better reward. It all boils down to personal preference.

    Potash Corp. rejects $130-share bid from BHP

    $130 is already out of the question so this is irrelevant.

    Why are we borrowing even more to give Pakistan more aid?

    My comment was anything but uneducated. I've read Cold War history and am familiar with the historic relationship between the ISI and CIA. The fact of the matter is, the CIA and ISI collaborated VERY closely (as well as the GID) when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. I never once said...

    Why are we borrowing even more to give Pakistan more aid?

    Great post. Pakistan has been an ally of the USA since the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.

    Potash Corp. rejects $130-share bid from BHP

    Harper has already stated that any takeover/merger attempt of POT would be reviewed as per the Investment Act. Doesn't mean it won't still go through at some point, but it is possible it will be rejected.

    Favre is back! Go Vikings!

    I have no complaints about him missing training camp, preseason, whatever else he wants to miss. He deserves preferential treatment for sure. But I actually find it most disrespectful to the team. The team has no idea if he will play or not, and therefore they have no idea who will be their...

    Struggling with staying focused

    A simple solution I would suggest is to simply take a 5-10 min break every hour. Get up, go outside, do whatever, just get away from the screen for a few mins every hour. That is, of course, unless the PA is going wild and requires concentration. But at times like these, it is not difficult...
