    Winning Edge -- Dr Ned Gandevani

    People like this know that if 100 trader wannabes see his ad or site, that maybe a couple will sign up. There are hundreds of charlatans selling things that used to work or never worked. But newbie traders keep thinking they can just cut the lengthy time required to learn trading, by...

    There is a reason for the pricing. storage, risk, and a whole lotta other things. If it were this easy, every hedge fund and investment bank would be all over this like ugly on a warthog...

    MB Trading

    What was with all the complaints about this thread? For crying out loud, MBT is a sponsor. They pay for the right to market and discuss with people about their company. And Gubinec has 400+ posts and has discussed many things besides MBT. Shills are usually people with 6 posts asking...

    good luck, morganist... Thanks for taking on this role. 1) Biggest problem in "Hook-Up" seems to be trading businesses masquerading as individuals. They seem not to like the concept of paying ET for a sponsorship, so they like to pop in here and troll for possible customers. Often looks...

    I'd like to send you my thanks Mr President.

    Hmm. Funniest part was where Dems were talking about the middle class getting back more money (tax refunds, tuition reimbursements. What they don't talk about, was how this money came by enormous deficits. So the middle class will not have their taxes raised, by having their descendants...

    New Trader Tips

    I have been trading over 20 years and have worked a few years at major financial institutions. Your ideas would be roundly laughed at during entry-level trader interviews... There is the cheese and there is the mouse. Give it a few years, and you might even make it to the level of...

    Quote from sebastionay: These are elements I have been thinking about a lot with forex although obviously its more important with options. I suppose another question of mine though is are options better when you do know about them than other methods of investment. Forex are a terrible...

    Options trader vs equities trader

    Quote from hajimow: I believe the answer is : 1- Option is more long term and most traders in prop firm don't hold any position overnight because of high leverage Options can be traded as actively as any other instrument. You can scalp reasonably liquid options (who would want to?) or...

    Debt collection and credit cards

    If someone is foolish enough to even consider restarting to pay an old debt such as these, especially after bankruptcy, they can open up making the debt viable again. Personally, if benevolent dictator, the whole credit reporting industry would be eliminated at one stroke of the pen. Along...

    I am not a prop trader, but I would guess because what you say here is not true.

    New options trader needs help.

    be very very slow about options. Options writers (sellers) tend to make some money and them blow up suddenly Options buyers are purchasing a leaking balloon, hoping to make money. If you have an edge, buying & holding options is a great way to give up that edge to time decay. There is...

    New Trader Tips

    Quote from Cheese: Learn anything from you? No thanks. Based on the post, I gather that you are not particularly interested in facts. It distinguishes the educated from those who like to post without thinking. Now focus on what I wrote, namely, commissions are incidental and a very...

    Obama: Why go to an asteroid? Maybe there's gold in them rocks.

    There is a certain brilliance to the idea, though. We could have off-world national wealth. Countries could uncover critical assets, and store them in space, even trading/exchanging them for others. Sort of like a futures contract, etc. Wouldn't have to bring them back here. Of course, you...

    Obama: Why go to an asteroid? Maybe there's gold in them rocks.

    Well, returning a million tons of this stuff to earth is a mega-project in itself. Cannot just drop it onto earth, have to bring it in by ship, through unbelievable heat of reentry. One shuttle launch was $500 million apiece. But that does not even tough on, do we really think we can scrape...

    RIAA Wants Gov. to Delete Your Illegal Downloads

    It was painful reading this response. Lousy spelling, trying to substitute personal opinion for prevailing law, 3rd grade logic, aimless content... You did a better job of debunking yourself than anyone else could :D

    How would you trade peak oil?

    This is still basically a myth. We are sitting on so much natural gas, whose total keeps climbing rapidly, that as oil goes up, people will pile into natural gas for energy/power, to power cars, for heat. It is very cheap at the moment. And there is abundant LNG, hydrates on the continental...
