    The stupid and irresponsible "home owners" bail out is happaning

    This is the guy who understands how it really works now. 10 years ago he would be out on the street and sued for the negative equity, now he gets to stay in the house. Some of us are stuck with stuff from 20 year old text books talking about taking away the punch bowl just as the party gets...

    I Quit

    Tend to agree, forget all this High School football coach stuff about never quitting. A businessman does not persevere in a low return market to prove to the world that it can be done against all odds, he looks for the easiest market that gives the best return. In the real world you might be...

    Doesn't anyone remember 2000?

    Problem is anytime the market looks like it is going down the bent Fed comes in like clockwork to stop this happening. Big positions take time to unwind so the Fed string pullers need to buy time and keep the propaganda machine cranking so that they can liquidate onto the CNBC viewing sheep...

    Vista or XP?

    Only advantage I can see in Vista 32 is the ability to use a thumb drive in a USB port as a substitute for the PC using hard drive when RAM is exceeded, but then again Vista isusing 2GB of RAM just to run itself. Only advantage I can see of Vista 64 is the ability to up RAM above 4GB without the...

    gann theory price and time,

    IMO Gann knew something, but you could waste a lot of time studying Gann. Gann is not around to tell you if you got the cryptic clue right in 'Tunnel Through The Air" or anything else so how will you know if you are following his methods correctly? Keep it simple, e.g. Gann Dates are worth...

    ET members tend to play options rather than stocks?

    Puts make more sense than stock for shorting, especially when you factor in the easier ability to sit through spikes. For me, that psychological aspect negates any mathematical advantage stock may (may) have if you were to factor out unlimited losses due to ability to close. If the price of an...
