I had an uncle who worked on a Ford line for many years. His favorite joke: Q: What time is it when a Ford passes a Ford? A: Tin pass tin. Disclaimer: Long Ford

In my opinion, anything that reduces the birth rate anywhere is a good thing. 60-minutes this Sunday had a report on Melinda Gates and her work in helping Indians to reduce infant mortality in poor villages. This makes no sense. The money would be much better spent in providing family...

I was told it was 6,000. :mad:

Far out, man. "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz. My friends all have Porsches, I must make amends."

Because the financial press and investment advisors have always fed the public the line that the 'market' will always come back, and they need to stay in for the long haul. But smaller funds are more personalized, as individuals are making trading decisions. So from an investors point of...

Family is a bitch. 30 years ago I recommended a single stock to my father. He spent 3 weeks researching the damn thing, then got in too late and bailed for a loss on a natural pullback. So for the next 20 years, no matter what success I had in life, I was a bum when it came to any area of...

Before you even think about any type of fund, get the experience of trading for even one other investor. Doesn't matter if it is friend, family or business associate...so long as it is someone other than yourself. The experience of trading OPM is MUCH different than being answerable only to...

Agreed. They've done a great job with it.

Long 5000 @ 2.02 That entry was the easiest decision I've made in years.

According to recent census figures, 1 in 7 Americans now living in poverty And the fat cats living off our taxes in D.C. continue to play games and point fingers. It is a national disgrace. Fire every one of those idiots in D.C. who have been hired, elected or appointed in the past 10...

If I may add my 2 cents...your bigger concern should be taking on 33 contracts of ES with only a 100K account. You're assuming that any stop losses you have in place will be 100% reliable. And you can't ever make that assumption.

Any 'strategy tester' that offers 'click and test' isn't worth your time or money.

Like trading, the only way to learn to sail is to do it. Many charter operations will provide a captain if you want one for a few days, and you can learn from him. Learn the basics, then take it on your own for a week or two. My advice...best place to do that is in the British Virgin...

As past performance is NEVER a guarantee of future success, only a fool would take that deal. However, a better bet for both you and another trader is to share in profits while he handles the mechanics and you go fishing. Or sailing, or whatever. PM me if you are interested.

"According to Standard & Poor's, the dividend component was responsible for 44% of the total return of the last 80 years of the index." Note graphs. Worth further research. http://www.simplestockinvesting.com/SP500-historical-real-total-returns.htm

These are all good comments. However, I would point out that credible academic research has shown that over time a porfolio of conservative dividend stocks has outperformed the S&P by a wide margin. The question seems to be the best way to mitigate overall market risk, since so many of...

I'm a trader, not an investor. But I have extra cash with which I'd like to create income instead of just sitting idle. Here's an idea I've been kicking around. See if you can shoot any holes in it. 1. 100K account. Buy a 200K basket of dividend yielding 'blue chips' paying an...

What if it's foggy? What if it's raining? What if it's snowing? What if the road is icey? What if there's construction? What if there's a new pothole? What if you blow a tire? What if its rush hour and you're stuck in traffic? What if your wife or kids are screaming in your ear? What if...

You're putting the cart before the horse. The first thing to do is determine your strategy, then build your watch list based on the strategy. As a very simple example, if your strategy depends on a certain level of volatility, you would want to filter out symbols that do not ever exhibit a...
