The Barak Hussieniaks are on a rampage and he is going to win the White House. The Hussieniaks will flip out and riot every time one of his dumb ass ideas (actually his idea's might not be that stupid, I have yet to hear him actually come up with solutions to the multiple problems he lists off...

I think its pretty obvious to anyone who would bother to look that the "war on terror" is the most halfassed battle we have ever waged. Not only that, there is too much money in the sickness for them to change a damn thing. To continue locking up non violent drug offenders though is insantity...

Administrative costs in the United States are huge. Medicare/Medicade also screws over providers in terms of what they will pay in many cases. I know that right now paying cash to the clinic I'm only paying about 1/3rd of what my insurance company had to pay for similar procedures, when I asked...

One major expense that Canada does not have, that the US does, is defense. Why? Because why in the hell should Canada maintain a milatary that would be suitable to defend itself with, when they know that if anyone harmed Canada the United States would run in to the rescue. Ditto Europe. I've...

Thats a nice theory, but how do you actually do it? The insurance companies, HMO's etc have a lot of people working for them, a lot of shareholders getting money from ownership in the company etc? I'd love to have free universal care, 7 months ago I hit my lifetime benefits limit and have about...

I've just turned on the debates and in Hillary Clinton's opening remarks she says, "Its illegal in this country to discriminate based upon age, race or gender. It aught to be illegal to discriminate against those who are sick as well!! (idiots in the crowd go wild!!!!)..ARE YOU F'N KIDING ME...

Just wanted to bump this back up so that if anyone is interested they can use these.

IMO 100% cash is a terrible position in pretty much every enrivonment except a market panic. You are basically limiting your after-tax, after-inflation returns to 1-2% at most, and right now it is probably negative With the Dow down about 7% for the year and the Nasdaq down about 15% so far...

I agree gnome. It seems like all the guys we have running right now are in the pissing and moaning business, the looking good on stage business and assorted others that do nothing to address the very real problems we have in the US. Obama has a lot of "solutions", but I wonder how we will pay...

Gaps seem to be a popular subject here on ET the last several days. I did a video on my approach to them about 2 years ago, and little has changed. If you'd like to watch it, you can find it at www.brandonfredrickson.com/gaps.html Brandon

Wednesday was essentially the mirror image of what we had on Tuesday, markets gapped lower across the board on worries of inflation, highlighted by the oil closing above $100 and various other commodities breaking to new all time highs. By the end of the day though, the market had shrugged off...

Michael Lauer, who was featured in the first edition of Jack Schwaggers "Stock Market Wizards" book has been indicted, along with three others, for fraud. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/02-19-2008/0004758802&EDATE=

Be careful, they have no problem sending the lawyers after you and actually sueing in the LA Superior Court, which is what they did to me.

Again I hate to defend a company that I hate, but I find myself compelled. I hope I don't get sued by the Canslim funds now too, but if you read their documents they are not true Canslim. One of the rules they have, for example, is that they always have to be at least 80% invested in the market...

So many people seem to have a mental lazyness about them and they want to be able to take everything exactly as it's laid out. That will never work in the market, because the market is always changing a bit. The concepts behind IB are, however, very valid. If your a true follower of IBD you...

Either one is fine. Natural Gas is also looking strong. (UNG)

Tuesday was the first day of US Trading this week due to the Presidents Day holiday. The American markets started off on a good footing, with the Nasdasq up as much as 1.3% early on, but as has often been the case recently investor fears crept in, and by the end of the day all major markets...

I don't really think thats the best analogy, but I don't really have the words right now to express why that is. I will say though that there are a lot of traders who will walk away after they are up X on the day, for awhile I did this as well, but really what that is is lazyness and fear. You...

Read the Market Wizard's books by Schwagger or Hedge Hunters by Katherine Burton. Either will give you a good idea of what people do. If you can consistantly do 15% + per year your pretty good, if you can do 30% + per year your a trading god. Warren Buffet has done pretty well averaging around...

For awhile we worked with Doug and his partner Jeff when they where eLocaltrading. Both Jeff and Doug are standup guys with experiance alot of integrity. I had went looking for eLocals site some time ago and could not find it, I'm glad to see Doug is still around.
