If it is just you and your wife - no kids - then you will probably be much better off with two individual policies, and not a family policy. A family policy is generally more expensive, because it assumes you are also covering children.

Joe, what about this situation: Short term capital losses in 2000. 3K of that was applied against earned income in 2001 and again in 2002, but there still remained a capital loss carryover "balance" from 2000 that was not used. (None of the carryover was used to offset capital gains in...

It is my understanding (I am not a CPA) that unless you file as marked-to-market, you can only carry forward a max of 3K per year on your 2002 losses, for as many years as it takes to reach your 40K.

Okay, well, ah...then you are asking $150/month for a service that provides access to a "signal", which apparently lists stocks that one should "sell" or "buy" according to your site, but you have no results to report, and you don't give any information on how the signal is constructed. I...

Didn't ask about the settings. Asked about the results, either in backtesting or actual trading. What are your results?

What are the results of the system's picks, either in backtesting or realtime?

And the very sad irony here is that this person took his time on Christmas eve and Christmas day to create a thread with such negativity and insults to the closely held beliefs of others, clearly demonstrating that he is the very person who is MOST in need of a spiritual experience. His own...

And with thousands of posts here on this site, I wonder where this fool has displayed a single one of his 144 IQ points.

If your move was for personal reasons - meaning it was not required for you professionally, or it did not improve your professional standing - a deduction will never fly. You'll just be asking for trouble.

Seems to me that if you have gone this far in creating and backtesting a strategy, you should by now have an indepth understanding of how and WHY it works, or does not work, in each market you've studied. There is a logic and rationale behind every successful strategy, and you should be able to...

So far buying the stock of good companies on weakness has been around for about...oh, 400 years. So I wouldn't worry about the strategy getting overplayed! The trick is the level at which you are buying, the fundamentals of the company, and the tune of the overall market that's playing in...

So sorry, but your post did not at all address the issue of why you bought at this time. You only touched on why it has recently dumped. I'm not too old to learn something new, and was looking for your reasoning on this, and why you think the chart looks good.

Good luck. But as the fundamentals on this company are pretty awful, and from a technical view it is overbought short term, what was your reason for buying at this level? UPDATE - Allegheny Energy says may put core asset on block Monday December 22, 3:59 pm ET By Nichola Groom NEW...

No, but I picked up a few hundred shares yesterday afternoon on a lark after I saw they were going to report earnings. The Blackberry is gangbusters with the corporate cubicle set. I used an early model when I was inside the corporate world, and they are addictive. I couldn't imagine they...

Well, I'm a pro and I don't. Don't need to. If you are trading stocks, there are more than enough long opportunities in any market environment. The added risk - and it IS added risk - of short positions is not necessary for a good return.

Only you can answer that question for yourself, based on your trading style, your hold time, your profit expectations, etc. etc. You are not necessarily looking for all charts to align. You are looking for confirmation of your setup in preparation for an entry. For example, if you are...

For Gods sake, Chris, I've never seen anybody so anxious to trade. How about you wait until the friggin contest at least gets started! Geez. And to encourage any other futures traders to get involved (I am not one), I suggest that whichever hand you use for your mouse, you are required to...

I'll play, but not unless some standards are set for margin that equalize futures and stock traders. Maybe you want to split this into two, otherwise it will get messy. One contest for futures, and one for stocks. The other issue is how you are defining swing. Some folks think that means...

IMO, that's just splitting hairs. Any broad based index will do. You just want a general feeling for where the market is before going long, in relation to it's MA.

January is typically a flat to down month for the overall market, and given the run-up we've had, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same this year. But for those of us who are long swing traders, it often offers some good opportunities for nice entries.
