    Money From MF Global Feared Gone

    And Corzine/MF is yet another example of the complete waste of human flesh that occupies the desks at the SEC. For another, tune into the Allen Stanford trial, where it has become clear that this slime ball was reported to the SEC five years ago. His response when questioned by the fools at...

    Need Help

    Your big mistake would be recommending any single adviser. If you make any recommendations at all, (which in itself is a bad move) you should provide 3 names which you've researched, and let your friends make the choice. In this way you've provided some help, but are off the hook if things...

    Pattern Based Strategy Design

    I don't believe that you've addressed a very valid issue raised by abbatia earlier in this thread. >>>Unless you understand why a certain pattern might make sense (and unless you understand this IN ADVANCE ideally), it is very dangerous to focus on the "n" pattens that work after discarding...

    Oh..yeah.... right...volatility....duh

    TNA. But you'll need to be able to handle wider stops, as price can jump on you. Trade very small until you get a feel for it.

    Should I sell the ETF?

    Hopefully you understand that a bet on TZA is basically a bet that the overall market will fall. If you think that the market is going to drop, then hold it. If you think the market will rally, then sell it. Nobody can advise you as to what the market will do. But a good rule trading any...

    Which would you do in this trading situation

    The answer is not to base your decisions, your capital, and your future, on backtesting alone. This is especially true if you are new to the business. Because without considerable trading experience you really don't yet know what you don't know.

    911 was our fault: Ron Paul

    When we treat other people like dirt, and support governments that repress them with torture, imprisonment and death, we shouldn't expect to be universally loved and admired. What goes around comes around.

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

    How about we keep these FTT comments on the thread that's already being widely followed instead of starting another? Please post to: "1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today."

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    The common refrain now is "I'd like to see an FTT in my country, so long as we all do it together." I keep coming up with the image of a bunch of lemmings standing at the precipice of a steep ledge, squeeking, "You go first...then I'll follow."

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    And last I looked there are no dictators as heads-of-state in the EU, as much as they would like to think otherwise. Their proclamations don't carry the force of law. Let us not forget that each member nation needs to approve taxation through their individual political processes. And what...

    Dividend Stock Model Help

    Congratulations. As someone who is many years ahead of you, I'll say that you are on the right track. When you hit your 60's, you'll thank yourself for sticking with the program. A significant percentage of gains in the S&P are due to dividend distributions, reinvested. Over time it...

    Looking for partners/investors in a niche market trading operation

    >>> I have taken this concept, with real results to the owner of the hedge fund I am employed at. While he is quite wealthy, his focus is on his hedge fund and he also feels that this market is too early & too new. Plus, he does not fully understand it. <<< Well, that's not really much of...

    Perhaps this would be a good time for an ET overhaul.

    IMO, this site is more clearly organized and easier to browse than any other trading or financial site on the internet. I am not speaking here of any issues related to hacking or porn, but the user experience. It doesn't need a redesign.

    Spreadsheets of prices instead of charts?

    I know where you're coming from. Data presented in a chart and data presented in a spreadsheet format are often interpreted differently by our brain. I sometimes find that charts lead me to see visual patterns that invite me to take a trade that may not at all fit the confines of my system...
