Sounds great on paper, but I'd feel funny living there what with being a unilingual caucasian american and what-not.

An idea I've floated with the wife is to simply move somewhere cheap within the US. We live on the east coast near Washington and it's very expensive to live here. And it isn't just real estate prices. Food, gas, property taxes, electricity are also pretty expensive. I've been thinking of at...

LOL learning Spanish is one thing, but learning to read Cyrillic is a whole 'nother matter...

Yeah, but what hoops does one have to jump through to get this status and maintain it?

My wife's researching destinations outside the US to move to (with me of course). Mostly she's focusing on real estate prices, though. Out of the blue recently she suggested Canada (!). That's exactly the wrong way for a Yank to go. The US is a tax haven compared with Canada. (Plus too...

You still young enough to learn a foreign language?

Just because you observed two or more phenomena occur simultaneously, it does not establish cause and effect. It is merely interesting.

The "endangered feces" quote is from Gilda Radner's "Rosanne Rosannadanna" shtick. No one seems to have picked up on this but I guess it goes to show the age demographics of this place. She was on the original Saturday Night Live from the mid 70's. I watched this show all through college...

That was better looking than some of the postings on hotornot.com

The current PDT rule came into effect in 2001, right around the last bubble burst. I don't think futures are quite there yet, but you can see it coming. Goes to show, make all the money you can in this racket while the rules continue to favor it.

Also, be sure not to swallow too much saliva. They say that swallowing saliva for about 70 or 80 years causes death.

I count breakeven trades as losses due to commish.

You've gotta be kidding. I only use my real name and address for doing actual business involving real money. Anyone who gives their real name/address/phone to register for a bulletin board is insane.

There are people here who think this is a "loser" strategy, but how about scaling out? Sell 1/2, move the stop to BE. Since you can't predict the future, scaling out lets you bank some profits, reduce risk and leaves that lottery ticket sitting out there just in case. Of course, this...

Whenever I see this guy post, I think of this Far Side cartoon:

Who'd wanna save it anyway?

LOL you picked a helluva month to start buying stocks. Many long-only stock investors/traders are in cash right now. Compare how much you're down against the Dow or S&P500. You may find that you outperformed the market even though you're down some. At the very least I'd wait and see how...

Nope, I believe that'd be agin' the law. (SEC rules) At least as far as stocks and options. Index futures and forex aren't subject to this.
