No, because our entire retirement system is underfunded from social security to pensions. We basically borrowed trillions counting on 10% returns to make up the difference. When it comes time to pay out those pensions there won't be any money there. Also, if you want me to introduce economic...

Regarding the Mark Fisher interview. It's funny how he and I think so much alike. One of my biggest concerns going forward is what I call the 1% growth problem. With all asset classes at all time highs, bonds, equities, real estate, forward returns in everything are going to be near zero...

Actually this is a pretty good thread for beginners. Unlike most threads who make trading look easy, this thread focuses on the boring hard work. Think about it, just to participate on it you have you to read 100s or 1000s of pages. People come here asking for a one page summary and I joke...

Who are you responding to? Our thread has almost no resemblance to what Fisher does or at least I'll speak for myself. What I do have nothing to do with Fisher. And my background if your interested, yes, I worked for a prop desk, ran a regional office for a prop firm, and was a former CBOT...

The Fish Man will be on the half time report tomorrow on CNBC talking oil.

#Wheat King, are you hoarding all the wheat again in Chicago? :)

US Dollar getting lit up. If I run out of toilet paper, I know what I'm going to use. :)

Yeah I really hate when technical analysis gets thrown in the same category as quantitative analysis. Technical analysis is like religion, you can't prove it works, you just believe it does. Quantitative analysis "proves" it works using statistical analysis.

I think there is definitely a switch to European equities with the strong Euro tailwind. This has somewhat suppressed demand for US equities. I think what ultimately is capping us equities is low growth.

You provided a valuable resource that few on this forum will utilize. Good course.

Yes, I'm aware who this "kind gentleman" is. I'll have to shore up internal security procedures to keep leaks from getting out. :)

No, you missed the point. Three months ago I was very bullish. SINCE then, cracks got whacked and gasoline spreads rolled over hard. I have not been bullish the past few months and won't be bullish till gasoline spreads and cracks catch a bid.

I follow Lisa on Twitter. Her stuff is outstanding. I doubt most here would understand it but it would behoove them to learn more about this stuff.

Apparently you don't look at the cracks because they have been crushed. Both heating oil and gasoline cracks. The refiners are the marginal buyer of crude and with crack spreads decimated, they are not going to buy.

If I were daytrading, I would ONLY trade products that were confirmed. Let me ask you this, if Gold had a +30 NL and all it did every single day was close on the highs and the ES had a 30 NL of +2, why would you choose ES over Gold. Gold is telling you to buy every dip. ES is telling it's...

Congratulations guys, this thread is now officially the most responded to and most viewed technical thread in the history of ET. We crossed 1.7 million views! :)

I see I'm being summoned to this thread. The 30NLs still matter. In fact, they make up 98% of my trading. The NLs do far more then just give you bias, they also describe the type of market environment you are in and provide relative value information. As has been said countless times, they...

Then why post the trades? Like you said, your trades demand focus. Why even bother? To further add to this, what stops you from adding some comments on some quiet sunday morning saying, here is what I'm thinking. It's not against the law, but this is a message board and the purpose of it is...
