    Why doesnt Radio Shack go bankrupt?

    Tons of stuff that's hard to find anywhere else. Odd cables, connectors, phone batteries, and often people who can answer a technical question that would get you a blank gaze from a sales person at Target who just got off the boat.

    Holy Cow: Intrade!

    Obama underestimated the stupidity of the American public in an election year. A rookie mistake that will cost him the election. He should have tapped Clinton and be done with it. An easy trip to the White House. If he goes into election day even close in the polls, he'll lose big time...

    Ice down (9.8.08)

    Can't wait for the ER2 rollover to ICE in a couple weeks. That should be a lot of fun trying to navigate downtime.

    Try to explain this contradiction in trading philosophy

    IMO, you are taking something that should be - NEEDS to be - simple, and trying to make it more complex. Simple: Place your stop based on (A) Your experience, or (B) Your system parameters. If price hits your stop, you are out. Period. If you don't KNOW where to place your stop, and...

    System Presentation

    Based on your inside experience, it would be interesting to know what is considered a "decent" system in terms of Percent Profitable and Average Win/Loss. What are some examples of realistic expectations for systems in place at firms that are trading systems for equities and futures...

    Successful entrepreneur looking to partner with a successful trader

    It would be very interesting if you would return here in a few weeks and generally report on the responses you receive, if any. Of course names and numbers aren't important. But the fact that you do receive responses according to your specs...or you do not...would be useful information...

    Is John McCain a hero?

    IMHO, lack of cowardice is NOT heroism. McCain's father was Commander of U.S. Forces in the Pacific. (CINCPAC) He was the top dog and a mean S.O.B. Would you have wanted a free pass out of prison camp only to then face your father with the consequences for him and your family? He...

    Is John McCain a hero?

    LOL. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. Actually, what he said was, "Sarah Palin works with her hands and her nose." She must have been a hot date!

    Is John McCain a hero?

    McCain/Palin in the White House - very, very, very dangerous. McCain is a rabid militarist. And she'll play to his worst tendencies. The last thing we need right now is another "maverick". His particular military experiences are NOT a positive thing for independent judgement. We...

    Bright trading and any thoughts

    LOL! Don's job is to promote his business and attact traders to his firm, at which he does a good job. As a trader, I don't know that he's ever claimed to be successful. Don't confuse the two. Because he doesn't. To his credit.

    Obama wants to drop taces on 95% of Americans including capital gains for small biz

    Well, this may the best reason I've heard to start an LLC and trade through it.

    Who is this dumb bitch that McCain picked as VP Nominee?

    A terrible, awful choice. And an example of McCain being a loose cannon who doesn't belong in the White House. Can you really imagine her being a heart beat away from the most powerful position on the planet? (And am I the only one who thinks she looks and sounds like Tina Fey?)...

    Deducting trading expenses with a full time job (job not related to trading)

    I must disagree. Filing for deductions for trading/investing expenses when you are employed elsewhere is asking to get red flagged. And once flagged, your chances of an audit each year increase. The aggravation and potential expense in answering to the IRS just isn't worth saving a few...

    IB and Russell 2000 futures

    As of Sept 19, Russell 2000 emini will have new symbols. On IB, the underlying is RUT, and the futures contract is TFxx. It is currently trading as TFU8 (Sept). Go figure. It is contrary to the normal symbol convention, and really screwing up my software platform. The woman who...

    I still have to know a daytrader who makes money in the long run...

    Yes, it is all mental. The best system in the world won't amount to anything if you can't master yourself.

    If the ES is crashing what is a good way to hedge?

    You do nothing. What do you expect? If your position has crashed for whatever reason...as in PAST TENSE...short of having a time machine in your garage you're toast.
