That was a 3 year bearmarket... Just in case you're wondering, a bear market doesn't mean the market will go down to 0...

buy the bid, sell the offer, repeat. Easier said than done.

Just get out of the states and open a Swift office in some tropical paradise with great bandwidth... that's just my biased opinion from Costa Rica.

Do you promise to stop calling a bull market after we go below 1250?

This is not a bear market, it's a bull market. you just gotta look at the chart upside down :D

That one backed fired on them. When NMS came around [a little while after hybrid was implemented] the SEC added this rule that allows ECN's to declare self help on [or ignore a] market that is not routing... So when the NYSE stops routing, the ECN's take over trading and the NYSE's quote...

I'm have a bit of an austrian view on monetary economics... So I like using the gold standard when looking at long term charts [take out the fiat money factor] If you look at the 20th century S&P vs Gold. You see that the S&P does several big spikes that go up and come back down. To an...

Care to explain how you got to this conclusion?

I don't think that saying "down" to zero is accurate in this case... from where he's standing zero is up, not down.

Keynes was one of the greatest minds of the 20th. His economic ideas helped the west get out of the great depression and helped capitalism get back on track... However, the keynessian measures were meant to be implemented only in very extreme and specific cases when the economy goes...

i don't think that Pure has a non display option... I'll look it up tomorrow though, to be sure...

So, you've been trading for a month. Yet in a couple of hours, you're up $150 on 200 shares lots. sounds to me like beginers luck...[or like you're taking gambles in high priced volatile securities...] Don't make the error of thinking this is easy, taking profits out of the market in a...

As long as it doesn't get out of hand... If the big USD holders start liquidating their assets [moving to other currencies] then the supply of USD would be out of the FED's hands... and into the hands of foreing devils...

That's no necesarily true. There are many strategies that can get you up big % on small money... but most of them are useless once slippage starts growing due to size increase...
