    I have never met a successful trend follower

    Trading has not only become much harder, but it has also changed. In the 1970s, the price moves were so large that all you had to do was jump on the bandwagon. Timing was not that critical. Now it's no longer sufficient to assume that because you trade with the trend, you'll make money. Of...

    Also who said you have to participate in every trend? There is no such rule.

    I have never met a successful trend follower

    It's easy to identify the trend....the hard part is to pick a spot to buy at, where to add and where to exit.

    Is the VIX Being Gamed? A Sudden Swoon Has Traders Talking Again

    I was fucked that day. Had short puts and stupidly left them to expire. Total manipulation, no doubt whatsoever.

    Disagree...the OP needs to lose fat as quickly as possible without losing muscle. Assuming he is say 30% bodyfat, fat loss of 5 pounds a week is possible. Don't go below 1200 calories, eat plenty of protein and fats and weight train 3 or 4x a week. No cardio!

    Keynes was a great economist. His ideas were supposed to be a remedy to take the economies of the '30s out of depression. But govts who want more control used his ideas for more state control. Hence Keynesian economics was born even though it didn't have anything to do with the free market...

    What is the Best Way to Lose 20 pounds and keep it off...

    Virtually all nonsense. Sugar is fine to consume in the context of a 'healthy' diet and as long as you remember that it is 'empty' calories i.e. has no nutritional content. The Hazda are a hunter gatherer tribe in Africa. 80% of their daily energy needs are from carbs (their fave food is honey)...

    Excellent that u r keeping a daily record. I would suggest to you that you take readings of skinfold fat via calipers at various body points. This can be a weekly exercise.

    Depending on where you live and the amount of assets that you control, this is something that should be looked into. I have 2 ISPs myself plus mobile phone internet but haven't considered power back up.

    Yeah, i guess you have to have a certain amount of wealth in order to spread it amongst different financial firms/banks. Probably at least $100k.
