Try studying the Asian currency crisis and the Great Depression. Then you might not be so naive. On 10/19/1987 the market went down 23% in ONE DAY with much smaller problems. In just one week, this orderly 25% decline could turn into the greatest percentage rout in 80 years.

Can I suggest that EliteTrader make at least SOME effort to clean up the broker ratings? They are useless if they become a dumping ground for people who are just trying to average out other reviews. InteractiveBrokers has at least 10 reviews from several different people. They keep adding...

that IS how it works in the USA. People who think they can walk away from their home without declaring bankruptcy are sorely mistaken. Banks are ruthless about it. They also have the right to sue the homeowner for ALL their legal costs while pursuing them.

JP Morgan took over and has Bear Stearns Barclay's and others took over Lehman's IB units... Goldman and Morgan didn't go anywhere Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Suisse, UBS and most other international IBs are unchanged. So what were you reading again?

most industries are cyclical. Aerospace or Petroleum engineers are unneeded at one point, then 5 years later, they are hot. 5 years ago, people thought all the IT jobs were going to India. The number of Comp Sci majors plunged. Now, it is hot. In other words, by the time you get out...

i dont use ninja, but if your search the IB or ninja site, i am sure it is mentioned...

VantagePoint is complete garbage. Do a search on the site. {VantagePoint è immondizia completa. Faccia una ricerca sul luogo.}

If you go to: http://elitetrader.com/br/ and look on the LEFTHAND side (ignore the "featured firms") - they are just advertisers you will see a list of brokers - these are links to reviews from this site. FWIW - Interactivebrokers is probably used by about half the people here. You can...

The men in canes is a figment of your imagination

Yea, right. Forex traders should be moving to futures.

This is the mantra of the 95% of traders who lose all their money. You see, compounding works in both directions. It is the most powerful force on earth for making your money disappear also!!! Unfortunately, many have to blow out their account before they learn this lesson. You are well...

no, there are not "sure" trades. If there were, then you would be a multibillionnaire, wouldn't you? Cashing out is not a sure thing, it is just arbitrarily taking a profit. As much as not, if you got out at a number, it will go up much more. remember - buy strength???

I don't think buying stocks was the thing to be doing after Black Monday in 1929. They went MUCH lower after that. I think this is what we may be facing if this deleveraging really gets going.

No such thing as "almost sure thing" in trading. Great traders use superior money management, and try to exploit inefficiencies to make more money than they lose. No single trade is "almost sure."

healthynfit is spamming the forums. I responded to his misposting under community loungs about a seminar in Buffalo, and then I realized he is also doing them in Toronto!!!! http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2077879#post2077879

i would not say "dying" he is getting treatment and we hope he eventually comes out fine and happy with no longterm effects. He is a good man. As for passing onto others, why do some people try to take the easy way out, and expect to sponge off of others instead of learning to trade for...

I would also add, I would worry that someday, anyone with enough details on my account could call in to a little broker, and have the funds wired out. Or hack in and cause chaos with the account. Or these $300 emini day margins could cause one to go belly up. At least with IB, they have the...

further, you are a stranger here, so no one was talking to you in particular, obviously, so no idea why you take things personally
