    It's official: Merkel seeks German F.T.T. at NYSE

    This is simply not going to happen.

    Broadband Problem / Load Balancer

    I am raising hell but to raise hell effectively you have to know what you want. What I want is not financial ... it is service. I'm not sure these imbeciles can deliver that. In the meantime I need to solve my problem not just fight the good fight. the good fight sometimes ain't that good!

    Al Brooks - Trading Price Action Trends

    I think it is worth the "wade through" but it is a fair comment. The first book Bar by Bar was really tough!!

    Bank recall of Mortgage

    Hire a kid to stand outside your branch or better yet their headquarters or regional headquarters with a sign headlining in under 15 words how you are getting screwed. It works wonders. Social media can get a result as well. I know longer deal with big $$ customer service issues in life any...

    Broadband Problem / Load Balancer

    Lovely numbers you have on your test but as I said: "BTW ... Fios has not yet reached where I live or I would switch in a heartbeat."

    Is anyone else worried about Penson Financial?

    You're welcome. One further point: You must resolve to never again wire money ANYWHERE until you know who your counter party is and until you have made the judgment that you are comfortable with that party holding your $$$. No pro ignores counter party risk ... and neither should you. It...

    Al Brooks - Trading Price Action Trends

    I think it is probable he was high, drunk or under distress or at least I hope so. if those comments came from him sober than i have no idea of the mind we are dealing with. The comments are astonishing. BTW ... that does not mean I am anti-trend following. It simply means PA and trend are...

    Broadband Problem / Load Balancer

    I use a cable hookup from Time Warner and i get it that I am sharing the pipe with every Tom, Dick and Harry and my MB will degrade as others come online. Only recently have I begun to do a fair bit of scalping so I called TW to find out if for a modest price I could upgrade my service. My...

    The best investment advice you will ever get.

    I'm not an investor ... I'm a trader. But if I were to invest I would stick quite closely to the advice in piezoe's post. Read THE BATTLE FOR INVESTMENT SURVIVAL, then reread piezoe's post, mix in two cups of a patience and bake for 30 years at 350. That is a winning formula ... a big winning...

    Is anyone else worried about Penson Financial?

    Yes, IB = Interactive brokers. I'm not suggesting that some or all of the introducing brokers would get shut down... they would still exist as business entities but what must be realized is that your primary financial relationship is always with the clearing firm which is Penson. Those...

    When the boomers lose their pensions. That's when it will get violent.

    They rarely lose the bet. The citizenry loses and those in the ruling class, with few exceptions, leave great wealth and position to the next generation.

    Governments inflate their way out. Period.

    New PC, Need Assistance

    I tried a handful of antivirus garbage over the years and none did the full job. For the past year I have used Symantec Endpoint -- FLAWLESS!!!

    Natural Gas

    Are you saying the demand for gas is not relatively static vs the blow out in supply? Relatively being the operative word. I'm not saying on an absolute basis it is static but I believe it is vs supply.

    Natural Gas

    It seems to me that the Nat Gas demand is relatively static -- not as many people/industries shifting to it as the price seems to justify -- while the supply side keeps blowing out every day. They get better and better at fracking wells and they keep finding new domestic fields that are...

    A Strange But Serious Proposition for a Not Yet Profitable Trader

    Mav, Martin: Thanks for the support guys but I'm all right with the hard time. I've had interesting PM's from guys from Bangkok to London and points in between. Many who don't have the room have offered me lunch, dinner etc. if I hit their town and valuable advice on broadband reliability...

    A Strange But Serious Proposition for a Not Yet Profitable Trader

    Thanks for the trade2win suggestion but I'm probably going to wrap this up here -- the nuts are just sooooo far over the top ... lol -- and deal only with the few who have PM'd me. I have met a few interesting people whether I travel to them or not. I will probably simply just send my wife...

    A Strange But Serious Proposition for a Not Yet Profitable Trader

    No ... I won't. I will, as I did in my initial post, reserve those words for "those of you who are tempted to tell me how simple it is and that I must be a moron to consider it complex" There seem to be a ton -- maybe two tons -- of guys who think it is cool to tell everyone that trading is...

    A Strange But Serious Proposition for a Not Yet Profitable Trader

    Oh my gosh! I did not realize how arrogant and grandiose my initial post was. Bragging about being somewhat better than a minimum wage trader is clearly the type of statement that shows the swelled head I have. For me trading is a hard skill to pick up. I do not think I have much to teach...
