You seem to treat these opinion pieces as fact.

My last post is not meant to imply that the holes here are not even deeper and more frightening but it is amazing what you can cover up and for how long when you are the lynch pin currency.

The "holes" in these countries will be exposed and it is scary.

New is great, vintage is great and so is used. No one is buying second hand underwear but you can always change the wrist band on a watch if you're fastidious so the bottom line on asthetics is that it can be difficult to find what truly rings the bell and, when you see it in your price range...

That type of behavioral changes only comes after the massive deflation. It never proceeds it.

I'm a guy who is dead set against buying a British car (OK ... the Rolls/Bentley is the exception) but the new Jaguar seems like value if you are looking for a sports car that is not rediculously expensive. It is a good looking vehicle. PS ... if you are an electrician you can buy British.

Just what I want to do ... emulate Ms. Kardashian! Quote from slumdog: These phones prove the old saying that money doesn't buy class. The Vertu is the kind of phone you would expect Kim Kardashian to own.

We all love our toys but CalVolibrator is correct in his view that the idle rich who make them a fetish just because they are expensive are rediculous. When I was a high school kid -- in a working class neighborhood -- the father of a girl I knew had a serious stamp collection of very...

The Offshore Automatic goes well with the luge. http://www.prestigetime.com/item/Audemars-Piguet/Royal-Oak-Offshore-Automatic/15130bc.zz.8042bc.01.html?utm_source=GBase&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GBase&gclid=CIbTtYWhiLkCFQyk4AodO24Arg

Let me add some points from a marginally profitable PA trader -- better than the minimum wage but not much. I trade full time and can afford to do that because I have owned a variety of businesses over the years that have given me some capital. 1) I think markets do repeat the rhyme...

I think in actual practice you are going to have to be worrying about size at a much lower level than 50 but I have zero experience trading size. Anyone here ever trade CL at 20 contracts or larger?

How much can you really push into CL or GC at those moments when you most want the trade without horrible slippage? I've gotten some really bad fills on a one lot. If the liquidity is there in some size I find your argument convincing; I just know so little about what size actually is in these...

Copy that ... I'm done with it.

I think the consensus is that it was all Gordon Brown's idea. It was, of course, pure insanity even at twice the price. GB might not be the financial power it once was but a country like that really does need a lot more gold that it currently has to meet uncertainty. They will rue the day...

That characterization is certainly incorrect. He is the whole damn turd.

I'm not disagreeing with the main points in your post but I certainly think a trader running even $20 mil can consider lots of strategies that don't fall into the sub few hour range and can certainly deal in less dramatic movers than gold and crude. Why not deal in ES or other slower movers...

I would say it is always a great bet. Even Morgan thought so.

Although it is cetainly not easy to change ingrained behavior, I agree with this attitude completely. No one can afford to think any other way.

Clearly access to cash governments, carry trades and the like can be edges that retail (and many prop firms) do not have. But to equate that to PA not being profitable is absurd. One does not need a full range of edges to be profitable and a retail trader can determine if keeping 100% ...

Amen.
