    Capital One in serious trouble?

    Yep, stocky is one educated idiot. He learned all he knows from ET sponsor marketing.

    Why I am A loser

    1. Get a life. Your schedule indicates your happiness depends on success in trading. It won't work that way. OK, I admit that we all want to retire ASAP, but your regimine is not sustainable. You need daily exercise after trading. You need sex. You need time outside... yes, even if its cold...

    Quotetracker: can't customize, & limited backfill

    Sorry guy, I customize mine to the hilt. No problems here. If data backfill is your problem, don't blame QT. As I say in other threads, backtesting is not QT's claim to fame. There are ways around this. I program my QT to display historical charts by cheating QT into thinking those charts are...

    Offshore & Tax

    Well, fuck that. Paradise is nice to visit, but I'm not moving somewhere that has only one season. If it costs me physical comfort to keep more of my earnings, I'd rather spend more and stay comfy.

    If Banks Are So Important They MUST Be Bailed Out... at taxpayer expense

    A bank will never be sound so long as it lends more than it has in the vault. One penny of loans more than its liquidity inside or on deposit at a central bank means insolvency, by definition. Yes, I know that banking has been based on ratios for a long time, but that is how we got into this...

    How composed are you when you took big loss?

    My system forces me to take profit distributions at X account balance, so I don't run into problems losing more than "three digits" per day. On those days, about once a quarter, I turn off the PC, take the rest of the day off from research, take my family up to 15,000 ft for a nice flight, then...

    buying stock automatically if it goes up certain amount?

    Yes, if your platform supports the measurement and logic. Same answer to your other post about shorting.

    How many traders are going to cash

    Whipsaw has hurt my primary system, so I'm in cash until the VIX returns to sanity. In the meantime, I dabble in the DAX and take long weekend vacations with my wife and kids.

    If Banks Are So Important They MUST Be Bailed Out... at taxpayer expense

    I would rather just do it like the bankers did last week... get a nice fat check tax-free, plus the home equity on top of the check.

    How Regulations Collapsed the World Financial System

    The bet played by the international bankers was that their leveraged suicide would be explained away as salesmanship in lending, that the crisis would be played off as uncontrollable market activity and dishonest borrowers, that the sole resolution was to give the bankers the mortgage value PLUS...

    Offshore & Tax

    Do you know if it is possible to setup a legal entity, office, etc. in the USVI and access that location by remote network, to effectively run the USVI-based firm from anywhere on earth?

    Legendary Julian Robertson Says U.S. To Suffer Poor Economy for 10 to 15 Years

    An Indian reservation in my area decided to stop renewing leases for land where thousands of non-Indian people had new homes built. The value of those homes took a 50% hit overnight. Some owners were so pissed that they torched their own homes when their lease ran out. Other owners physically...

    Legendary Julian Robertson Says U.S. To Suffer Poor Economy for 10 to 15 Years

    That is a fact. 80% of Americans are broke. Negative equity. That's what happens when you put nothing down and ride a house into lower values, it eats up the value of anything else you own outright.

    Offshore & Tax

    To the OP: It is possible to trade and pay no taxes to anyone. The 'how' is uncomfortable, however. Matters of location and security may be traded for tax-free trading, but doing so is complicated by design. For more, ask a tax attorney specializing in offshore assets. Should cost you about...
