    Why Do People Trade when the Failure Rate is So High?

    Are you kidding me?! Didn't you see her question?: <b>"should retail investors be allowed to trade stocks without some type of certification or training?"</b> Can you come up with a question any more <i>female</i> than that? Women generally think that the proper role of government is to...

    USO , huge discount

    <i>First off - spot futures? I'm not familiar with spot futures. I know spot markets and I know future markets. If there are spot futures, please keep me updated.</i> -->Spot month futures= Front (closest) month. <i>Second, look at this link...

    USO , huge discount

    Here's the answer: USO is NOT holding spot oil futures, but rather they are positioned in the (lower volatility) back months. No free money arb here. Keep looking...

    The Neocons Ride Again

    <b>Hey LoZZZer! John Mark Karr called. He's asking that you tone it down a bit- Your personality is really creeping him out!</b> :D :D :D :D :D

    Is it just me or are there a zillion stock market infomericals on tv?

    When clueless fish come to sit at your poker table, is that a bad thing?

    UN once again proves uselss

    Who did this to you? I mean, your completely distorted view of Israel must have come from <i>somewhere</i>. I'd like to know the source. Were you given these opinions by websites such as whatreallyhappened.com and rense ? Moonbat blogs? Robert Fisk/Guardian/Independent? Al-Jazeera? Or was...

    Event Trading: '06 Elections

    You got it. In mathematics, as well as politics, a double negative equals a positive. The country is historically much better off with a <b>power gridlock</b>. Keep the two lousy big parties fighting each other, and they'll have fewer resources to oppress the people. All this is based on...

    Position sizing

    The wording here is all wrong. Trades are trades and investments are investments. "you enter every trade with an investment of $5000 consistently" ...is like saying- "When you play basketball, do you prefer to play quarterback, or would you rather play first base?" No offense intended...

    GM Brings Back Camaro

    Good commentary, triple A. However, to be fair, GM didn't <i>voluntarily</i> ruin the sleek & unique front end styling on the last generation Camaro. The government made some kind of law against recessed headlights, and GM was forced to comply.

    The small account catch 22...which market?

    Sim03, I thank you for your detailed response. One last question on trading spot metals at Oanda: Is the tax treatment like stocks (=regular income), or is it like futures (60/40)?

    java using 200 MB of memory with only tws

    Right click on the top of the player. Go to Tools --> Options---> Performance. Then lower the video acceleration bar from full, to the medium level. Now your videos will quit blacking out in the middle. Problem solved. :p

    The small account catch 22...which market?

    Meanwhile, GLD is $61.68 x 61.69. Unfortunately, it's not a leveraged instrument. EDIT: "pays/receives carry on shorts/longs." Say for example I'm long gold (at Oanda), leveraged 10-1. How much am I paying to carry this position? Like 7% APR?

    The small account catch 22...which market?

    Wait... their market is <b>80 cents wide in gold?!</b> Was that a typo? Did you mean 8/10ths of a cent?

    The small account catch 22...which market?

    What kind of leverage does Oanda give on spot gold & silver? How wide is Oanda's typical spread in these instruments?

    Giant Yellow Jacket Nests

    I still haven't figured out- Are homeowners better off putting out yellow jacket traps to get rid of the annoying things... or is it better to just leave them alone, since they eat other insect pests?

    OT: Can anyone say they ever used a decent mover?

    In the Chicago area, <b>Golan's</b> is top notch. Make sure you get a team of recently discharged Israeli soldiers (They do constitute the vast majority of Golan's employees).

    Forbes on Fox just announced that Oil is going up...to 100 bucks

    That's exactly what I'm expecting too. You're like the only guy I've ever seen who says intelligent things in AIMspeak. I think we keep sloshing around in the current range until after the (early November) elections. Then comes the parabolic spike top. Note: My long time-frame market...

    Obese Americans

    I predict science will come out with a revolutionary new weight loss medication within the next decade or two, providing Americans with a quick easy fix to the obesity epidemic. Just look at erectile disfunction and baldness- both nicely solved by science within the past decade. Providing an...
