    Detroit - bust

    You might have a point there. Perhaps public pay should be tied to results generally of the City or nationally for Fed workers etc... None of the old +3% a year regardless - oh no !! Bad years should see pay decreases which would also help the City's finances. As for the top hogs - well their...

    Now Steven Cohen is charged... why ever read another Market Wizard book?

    Just another load of crooks. Not uncommon in the financial industry. Say about 10% get caught and of those about 10% get charged. It looks like a fertile playground for the legal profession.

    Detroit - bust

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23369573 Is this really the final end to US capitalism ? Surely there are better alternatives, not just for the City that had everything but for the USA itself ?

    Fooled by Taleb

    There are other factors like illness, corruption etc. I remember playing tennis a long time ago and recall that although I was fairly good, there were some people I couldn't beat even though I was the better player. They had that psychological edge. Probably not very relevant to markets though.

    The Return of Glass-Steagall?

    SSSSSSSSHHHH Don't mention Detroit. An obvious city failure. Willl the thieving culprits be forced to cough up - well no really. Most unlikely. Something stinks about financial America. They all duck from any blame. Wot me sir ? Excuse me while I laugh all the way to the Don's bank...

    The Return of Glass-Steagall?

    It's partly down to that too big to fail argument isn't it. Perhaps it would help if investment companies and banks branch off financially independent companies as they grow. Then if they are mismanaged it won't bring the whole system down.

    There should be a minimum IQ to qualify as a Congress politician. Would 25 be asking too much ?

    Dog lovers

    Dogs are great. They give total support and love. They get one out even in the rain for a walk. Never complaining. Always happy.

    Precious metals to be money again.

    I read somewhere that one ounce of gold would buy so many potatoes in 1900 and then compare that today .............AND as if by magic an ounce of gold will buy roughly the same amount of potatoes today !! Surely there is a lesson to be learnt here ? Gold hasn't increased it's value. The...

    which t/f do you reccommend for forex

    Interesting that there are the most votes for a daily TF. In my experience the greater the TF then the greater the stop should be. The average daily range on the S&P 500 for instance is about15 points. So double that for a reasonable stop to be about 30 points.

    Europe strikes deal to push cost of bank failure on investors

    Much of this activity is a smokescreen to cover thieving by the bosses. The money is lent then is lost ( disappears ) and who then is asked to foot the bill ? Outrageous

    which t/f do you reccommend for forex

    I like to make the entry on a 15 minute time frame and then exit on the 5 minute if I am trading manually. I see daily has 1/3 rd of the votes. Possibly because they are working and only have evenings to trade ?

    Europe strikes deal to push cost of bank failure on investors

    There should be a deterrent to the younger generation imho. Those amateurs in politics know that it doesn't really matter if they make a complete balls-up. They get a big payday and a gold plated pension whatever the outcome. Letting crooks like Nixon off the hook just encourages the wrong sort...

    TSLA the next leg up

    It looks like the top of the curve to me. A TV prog here claimed the car did about half the claimed mileage and then got sued by Tessla ? Give electric cars another 10 years imho. In the meantime hybrids are the way forward also hydrogen driven cars.
