frankly, every prediction for what is best now is just a guess. I was thinking the dollar would plunge during the crisis last year, and instead it went up a lot. the smartest person is spread widely - some stocks, bonds, gold, international, some real estate/REITs/apt buildings/commercial...

There is a lot of frightening naiveness in this post. Fib has been debunked under serious testing. And how would wave count give anything other than uselessness if not true? Trading methods should be rigorously tested and proven. Not followed and believed.

Neither do most of the people over 18.

IQ 157? That and $3 still won't buy a good latte in many areas

Nothing like having a posh, wall-street address :D

Elliott Wave is basically a well-structured farce. Every EW person looking at an equity will give a somewhat different opinion. And, since when does an equity move according to someone's theory of how it should move? There is no sound basis for putting an artificial structure on a chart...

There is no such thing as an easy 25% p.a., or the major financial institutions would employ a bunch of little traders, each turning this out on a set of equities. truth is, it is hard just to outperform the historical average of 7-10% p.a. in the stock market. Your return is based on your...

Funny, I trained almost 110 new hires in 12 months a couple years ago at one company, and a large % were Comp Sci new graduates. You see, the difference between us is, you can't find a job and assume everyone can't, and the truth is, you couldn't be further from the truth. Maybe you should...

Well, now that we have established the weakness of your powers of observation, we can safely say your earlier claims of your knowlede of StLouie's success was pretty much conjured out of your guesses and imagination...

Funny how economists each have somewhat different projections, and the ones that accidentally close (out of the unpteen thousands of them) are considered as gurus It is about as impressive as the one who was closest to "guess how many jelly beans are in this jar"

so much for your earlier claims. You impress way too easily

WRONG. As I said in above post to the other about Comp Sci, I happen to know people in the field, including new grads. And you are about the only one who is whining about "EE grad, no job since 2002." I have an MSCS and took coursework in EE. You come across as someone who took a...

Nice try. In fact, 5 of the top 10 projected fast growing in fields, including things like Security and Network Management The only problem now, is the short term economy. Everyone is suffering. It is amazing how people have nothing more than an opinion and think it matters I have...

how did all the bailouts and stimulus help? We are still in the mud, and now our debt has exploded, so our future growth will also be dampened

winning rate is meaningless. It varies wildly, depending on youy profit target, stoploss, or psychological makeup Profit Factor or Expectancy is far more useful. (total $ won / total $ lost). Of course, you also need to adjust that for slippage, commissions, spread, fees, risk/errors.

Why would anyone pay to sign up with a "psychologist" who used remote viewing? You might as well pay a psychic $10 to read tea leaves. At least you might get a cup of tea out of it...

If a broker had an edge, they would be traders If a newbie needs hand-holding, they should be sim trading. It is hard enough for many to make a profit. Keeping commissions low is critical.
