Wicked Data, many thanks!

Very interesting bone, especially that last one ha! Appreciate it, will read up!

Thanks bone. But isn't $10mm chump change these days with the numbers these investment banker, etc. traders are throwing around? Why did they charge the guy from the UK or what not with a crime, he will probably not see the light of day, but charge the big banks slap-on-wrist penalties in the...

Thanks Tiddly and Suffering! Suffering, on babypips, I started, but I was on my phone as my wife just gave birth and we were in the hospital. Babypips on my phone did not seem to be recording my progress, it is a wealth of info but never seemed to record how far I was getting. Home now with...

Well in your example eves, wouldnt one have to produce the code, and the code would be tied to new info coming in assuming its not spoofing? i mean theoretically. what i hate even more that that is the almost certain slective application by law/securities enforcement. markets go nuts? haul...

I just might do that zenemini! But would love some thought on him generally.

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts, mainly with the Chat With Traders guy, and a lot of people praise WD Ganns. Apparently he was quite good in his day. But if you read, and try and follow him, today, will you gain anything? Or has his stuff been built upon into better, greater things...

CANSLIM Select Growth Fun was FLAT in 2008? That is AMAZING if so. I mean, they were in the stock market 100%, which stock market cratered 50% to 60%? If this is right, I REALLY need to look into that. I looked before but I was always under the impression it underperformed a bit.

Yea, but what if you could make ~10% in the market IN ADDITION TO the 4% on the calls. :)

I was just doing some digging, and I saw a post from 2008. I had assumed ET was a more recent thing. Anyways, what where ETers saying back then? When Lehman fell? Bear Sterns fell? Market dropped like a rock and then kept on dropping? Did a ton of ETers see it coming, or at least catch on...

Andersonbands, thanks! Curious, are there any long term analyses showing how investing in the ones with the high swing ratings would pan out in the long term? Thanks!

" New You keep switching topics. Nobody claimed to be able to "call the stock market 100% of the time" . You brought it up from nowhere. If you don't have conviction then stay flat. Simple as that. But holding a long position when you believe the price will trade lower shows you apparently have...

LOL, what is ABSUBD is that you think you can call the stock market or any market 100% of the time. Neither you, nor anyone else, can. Sure, if you were 100% sure the stock or market or whatever was going up, go long 100% with as much leverage as possible. Same on the short side, only...

I think I see what you are trying to say, but that does not discount the other guy's point that paying 5 cents per share out of capital, leaving the company with 25 cents of capital per share, is much less intuitively an "income" event than is collecting and keeping 5 cents per share on an...

Haha just listened to this Chat With Traders episode. I heard absolutely nothing helpful or interesting in the podcast.

Anyone know of any long term studies that show various currencies are on average stronger or weaker in some sessions versus others?

So maybe selling options is a bit different than playing roulette because there is no built-in house edge? :) Funny, I've actually seen selling options specifically as generating income, as compared to dividends on publicly traded stocks and REITS, where they drop the stock price by the amount...

"Why would you hold a long position in an asset that you believe might trade at lower valuations." Well, any asset MIGHT trade at lower valuations... so taking your logic to the max we would never hold any assets! Selling puts historically has generated a higher return over time than selling...
