I was watching some show on the travel channel, I think Bordean. He was in India eating at this resturaunt and the two guys who run it worked 60 + hours per week to run the resturant to provide for their families. Both of them where also fulltime students working on graduate degrees in...

Real Effects of a Bear Market

I think thats close to true if you are a discretionary trader, but if your trading on an algorithm and using automated strategies thats probably not true. I know of a very successful trader who uses nothing but automated strategies and he has well over 100,000 lines of code in his system, which...

Of note that I'm not involved in this business, so I don't know everything. I was having coffee about a week and a half ago though with the manager of the local Grain Co-op. He complained alot about how the Ethonol plants pay a premium for the grain, so he obviously does not get as much. But a...

I know that there are a number of people who enjoy reading this thread and I want to apologize for not updating it over the last several days. On Wednesday night I started to come down with shakes, a fever and body aches. Since Weds. up until now my temp has not dropped below 102 degrees, and...

On Wednesday US Markets ended the day mixed, while having mostly traded entirely with-in the range of Tuesday's trading action. Federal Reserve Chairman Helicopter Ben Bernake signed that with the most recently released economic data showing a slowdown in the American Economy the Fed is set for...

Over the last few days several people have questioned, and a few even challenged me on the relatively large cash position I have been holding for most of this month. As I write this the S&P500 is down 3.8% for the year, the Small Cap Russell2000 index is off by 6.2%, the S&P500 is down nearly...

American Stock Markets started off lower on Tuesday after the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index fell sharply to 75, following an 87 reading in January. Next came the Core CPI, the Core CPI excludes food and energy costs since none of us really needs food and driving is bad for the...

IMHO having a hard cutoff is somewhat appropriate if you are managing OPM or you have a discipline problem and can not trust yourself when you get a small housefire so to speak. If thats the case, your likely going to have some difficulty staying in the game long term. Push, esp when things...

Vista and Microsoft both suck big fat hairy molded monkey nuts. EOM.

I'm considering hiring another analyst. You look like someone who really has it together and understands "how the game really works" wink, wink.. Genious I tell ya.

According to some people the market sucks all the time. Back in 1999/2000 all the losers said that the market sucked and that they wanted a return to the good ole days before. During the bear market from 2000-2003 they wanted the bull market back, and during the bull market that started in 2003...
