Hmmm. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=TRT&p=W&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p78206318903

The move from 250 followed a huge triple top/h&s. I don't see anything here like that.

The bad trade was posted and I acknowledged breaking my own rules. In fact, I acknowledged breaking my own rules AS I posted the trade. Afterwards, I posted changes in strategy and listed some of the changes. If you can find helpful suggestions in her post, you're welcome to them.

I don't use margin or options, so I don't see why it would matter.

BONT is interesting. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BONT&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p89419428967 Nice coil on the weekly chart with decent volume. Recently broke out of the coil. Trading at .10 of sales, debt recently retunred to par, so EV of .43/sales, much cheaper than competitors. Still...

I don't really know. I had problems with settlement before moving to IB, but that was only when I sold within the 3-day settlement period. Otherwise never had a problem.

The trap was laid in BTH when I posted this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/printthread.php?threadid=247545 If you don't bother to click on the link, I rec'd the stock at $36 or something and it went to $46 two days later. I got a little cocky and then when the stock went back to...

Is there some way I can block Nodoji from this thread?

Those are two different activities, like practicing tennis and playing a match. There may be an empirical relationship between them, but that is not to say that one is created out of the other, like a cake out of flour.

So we have a genesis story in which there is no immaculate conception of money - first the banker must get with debt before giving birth to dollar bills. But this is complete nonsense - he can just print them! No debt was involved in the creation of those dollar bills. Do you think Mugabe...

Among my somewhat nutty charting hunches is the idea that dojis appear right before news or major turns in a stock (not just as bottoms or tops). I've posted on this before, but TRT is a good example. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=TRT&p=W&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p60732108272 TRT is very...

This trading (longer term swing trading) journal probably deserves a quick death, but in the interest of journal honesty, my last two listed trades were duds. After a big gain on LPR, I gave back the gains and ended flat. As for BTH, I took my biggest loss in years on that position. So after...

If the USG runs a $2T deficit and net debt rises only $1T, then it's printing $1T. It doesn't matter how that discrepancy comes about, through monetization or not, it's dollar printing either way. So this "money from debt" argument is bogus or definitional. Either way, wrong.

Glad we're clear on the idea of "debt free currency." Kinda puts the kibosh on "all money is debt," no?

Good idea.

If I put in a trailing sell stop like this: price: $2 trail: .30 stop: $1.85 does that mean that the sell order will execute even if the trailing amount hasn't been reached, ie at $1.85? or what if I add a limit order (to the same order) at $2.05? does that mean no execution until...

Gov't can also just pay government salaries via printing. No debt. If you define the salary as a "debt," you are proving too much. So I don't see how "all money is debt." If you define money as debt, then yes, you are trivially correct.

If debt came before money, what was the debt paid off with, if not money? I always thought money came from paying soldiers (we can't afford to give you any gold, so here's some money, it's just as good). I wouldn't worry too much about this either way.

Larry Kudlow has a knack for being exactly wrong. Here he is on November 21, 2007, ignoring all the signs of impending doom: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/222912/three-more-years-goldilocks/larry-kudlow Three More Years of Goldilocks? That said, I think the election-year...

This is too easy, but Dow 36000 is notorious. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1999/09/dow-36-000/306249/ Stocks are now, we believe, in the midst of a one-time-only rise to much higher ground—to the neighborhood of 36,000 for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. After they...
