You went sniffing around in his earlobe? Yick!

At least banks qualify for these. IB does not. This you can answer yourself. And were do your funds reside at IB? The tooth fairy? The funds still have to be at a bank, dumbass. That's what this thread is reall about. So not only do you have bank risk, you have doubled up on risk with...

IB is safer than a bank? Are you high?

Oh really? I haven't even noticed you until yesterday. :p I kid, I kid. Alright. Actually, I probably will start a journal similar to neke's heck, I might even turn it into a gambling adventure. ;) All the best.

Since you asked to nicely. Sure. :)

The definition of gambling (as in the Las Vegas sense) brings with it an element of complete loss of control over the outcome of an event. I actually consider any form of trading (even high risk strategies) to be less risky than gambling since you have so many more resources under your control...

1) SPIC cash coverage is not as automatic as FDIC coverage. You have to make a claim first. 2) For anything above 100,000 USD you have to go through Lloyd's of London (assume that at least a year of your life is gone. Insurers don't make money by paying out). 3) IB's S&P500 credit rating...

You know for a fact that I trade equities? You believed that post? I guess most did. Well, you have it all figured out then. Again, you are just mumbling a bunch of sentimental american crap about achievement, smiling, blah, blah, meanwhile talking about facts, etc. and not even posting...

War is business. You are way off. WWII jump started the military industrial complex which solidified U.S. position for the next 50 years. There was little destruction of wealth in the U.S. There was however the creation of many jobs because of the war effort. Don't forget we were in a slump...

Indeed, and I gave fact. I find it very interesting how you openly ignored my comments and chose not to respond. And now you are using the "credibility" argument as an exuse not to address the points I made... very weak! Why the hell do I need to show performance in order to prove that a...

Your words: So according to you neke is gambling at the same time you think one should learn from him. You are full of it. Oh and you say that investing is easy... another falsehood. And no I'm not stupid enough to share my statements. But YTD, I'm up 22%. (You win! lol)

For now he does. The question is for how long. Watch and learn? Learn what? How to blow my account? If that's what you want, be my guest.

' Asking for performance like this is the first sign of a complete noob. Investors who know what they are doing ask about risk first and performance second. It's not high performance that counts, but how much you are able to max your yield while keeping risk as low as possible. Oh, and...

Let me give you some adivce: How about reading the post you are responding to. Funny, you are under the false assumption that I trade equities? When did I say that I invest in stocks? All I said was that the only way to safely grow your capital is through compounding (I didn't say not through...

What stock currently pays the highest dividend?

Americans are addicted to shopping and are spending money that they don't have. Every thought of that?

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/17/opinion/17buffett.html?_r=1&scp=3&sq=buffett&st=cse He basically says that it has gone up before in the face of so much turmoil (including WWII) so it will continue to do so in the future. First, this is a classic case of the fallacy of historical...

Just because some doom and gloom is already priced in doesn't mean there isn't more to come. I love this beginner logic, "it's gone down 73% already, can't go down much further!"

Really? Then why is his equity curve not smooth? Most of his huge gains were made recently in a few gambling trade. Could have easily gone the other way.

Just because I posted you think I placed a trade on that analysis? You are an idiot! And you are assuming that I am a short term trader.
