Quote from dsq: GM's union may be bad but who stuck a gun to the ceo's head and forced him to sign the deals? The UNIONS of course. Don't you follow the news? As for GM's health care costs that is the exact reason we need a national healthcare sysytem.What we have now is a...

Everyone who is not an original native American is technically an immigrant. But anyway, in this current time, our main problem is that demand for jobs is rapidly outpacing the supply of jobs. And some of the longterm unemployed who burned through their unemployment benefits would be happy...

I have 3 browsers - IE, FF and Google Chrome. When one acts flaky, I use another. Occasionally one hangs or FF won't do certain things because of the add-ons I use, so I open another. No big deal You should also use an overall cleaner to purge your internet files, caches, and other gunk...

FROM YOUR ORIGINAL POST: Quote from ML_QUANT: As a Disclaimer I mentioned I use a Sim. Regardless even paper trading would not have changed the outcome! b. Some Absurd people deny the reality that the Call materialized exactly as predicted because I personally did not trade them AND THEN...

Legal immigrants has nothing to do with it. We are talking about ILLEGAL immigrants. the point is, that these are not normal times. When people talk about spending $500 billion to stimulate the economy, then it is FIRST time to extract people who are working here illegally. In the...

No, the blame goes to the President AND congress. The Congress ensures enough pork for their districts, and will strangle the president's goals if it does not square with their own interests and agenda.

Funny how big spending is always the president's fault and not Congress' fault...

From OP: " I am not a superior trader. There are traders much more intelligent and gifted than I." Apparently, all of them!!!

That is because houses strongly outpaced rent since around 9/11 time frame. People started stuffing money into their homes rather than into the stock market. Housing prices are only somewhat moving back to their normal longterm growth rate. Many rental properties were not good investments...

Perhaps you would care to explain YOUR logic. Illegal means "against the law." There is something wrong with not allowing illegal immigrants to remain? Why do you think LEGAL immigrants should have to spend a lot of money and years going through the legal channel, when they could just walk...

Anyone that thinks that a narcissist and major attention seeker like Mr Quantie is someone to admire, and there is something wrong when others tell him to prove it himself, must be in a deadend job and is pretty desparate for Mr Quantie to be correct. For heaven sakes, Timertrac.com is free...

scaling down is also controlled - specifically, leverage. But some people who think they are scaling are averaging down. and as quoted, averaging down is more like hoping to make your total position cheaper, when you probably should have gotten out instead. Cut losses short and let profits...

I watched unions shut down two local employers (an eastern state is all I will say) when I was younger, one a trucking/transfer company and one a major factory located in several areas. The company owners said "this is what we can afford to pay, we are under major cost pressures from others...

How much does GM spend each year in providing healthcare to RETIREES??? $5 billion? How many companies do that now? Union workers are the MAIN reason the big 3 are in so much trouble. As they used to do, go on strike at critical plants for an automaker, to shut them down for new demands...

Maybe yes and maybe no. Seeking forum opinions on this are not going to provide much of a direction.

This makes a fine epitaph or "famous last words" This is often used be vendors or paper traders, in an effort to pump up their equity curve. Averaging down greatly increases your per-trade drawdowns. There is only one thing that REALLY matters longterm. That is called "Risk of Ruin."...

The job loss is accelerating rapidly. the average workweek is falling to its lowest in a long time, and this is usually a sure sign of a lot more future layoffs. The real joblessness is estimated at more like 15%, as there are many uneremployed, only part time employed, and those who have...

A paper trader claiming to be God's answer to trading should expect OTHERS not to demand proof? When did you fall off the turnip truck?

Yes. Japan, Germany, South Korea, wealthy Arab countries and others should pay the salaries, equipment and logistics costs for anything in their country designed to keep THEM safe. We allow them to keep their military smaller and they invest those savings in their own national interests and...
