neke, are you certain that it is worth putting your money in single stocks (even if it only intra-day)? Look at what happened to MTXX! have you considered the other commodities such as corn, OJ, etc?

Blow-off top? Lol, just hatin' :D

Are we talking intra-day here? Most will not be able to tell you, since they do not have sufficiently profitable intra-day methods. (And just because somebody posts a video of themselves in-front of 6 monitors does not by a long shot mean that they can either). In fact, it could be a signal...

The powers that be have a lot vesting in pushing the SP500 up. Everybody watches it as it is used a general proxy for global (nost just U.S.) business activity. Money losens up everywhere in a bull market. The HFT theory might have some merit, however, the March bull run did get started with...

A great example of why there will be no middle class in 5-15 years.

When the Brits go cold tureky, we know we're in trouble! :D :D :D

Now there is an idea that might her her money back! :D

You just contradicted yourself. And yes, wikipedia is known to be an oh-so reliable source of accurate info. You are quite educated, Sir.

Ok, so you are part of the "hyperinflation" crowd--nothing new there. There is little in your little essay that contradicts what I said. However, you failed to mention that even with the M0 expansion, how much wealth has been destroyed vs. liquidity pumped (NOT PRINTED) into the market. So...

No, it is not. M3 has hardly grown more than it has in past years. This kind of misinformation results in the "hyperinflation, printing press" hysteria (and causes bubbles). Dump money hard at work...

USDs are not being "printed".

"dollars floating around out there"??? Economics requires us to be a bit mroe specific than that. LEt's start with M0.

No present tense. It still is going down the tubes. Don't confuse a blimp on a chart with a new bull market (or govt propaganda with reality for that matter). No. Over the last decades, there was nothing local about the real estate boom. It was driven by the boomer demographic and easy...

Come to MA, it will change your mind. Buyers here are recently outbidding each other. 5 years from now the rest of the supply the banks are holding will have been dumped onto the market. Not to mentioned the resetting of higher level mortgages that are also seeing increasingly high default...

There are currencies and the eminis. What others are there? Thanks!

travis, indeed, the order of the factors up for discussion is paramount. As is the order of the general factors of trading that one should consider. Let me therefore propose a possible order that the three elements of trading might be grouped into (in order of consideration). 1. Money...

Preferable one that allow off-hours demo trading. Thanks!

Unless you perform a detailed risk analysis, this is a blanket statemtent that may or may not be true. Housing is a VERY illiquid asset and if you get stuck in it, you can be stuck for a long time. Liquidity risk is one of the most important risks to consider, or else we would all be trading...

A clear sign of hysteria. There will be plenty of additional supply hitting the market when additional mortgages reset and bank supply hits the market. Statements like this are what got the bubble going in the first place.

We'll see. Nobody has a claim on predicting where the market will go (and if it can go further down). Right now, I don't see how value investing is possible in real estate. Prices are still out of wack.
