I am sure Saudi Arabia and a lot of other more moderate arab countries are not thrilled about an Iranian bomb.

Should also be limited to those with some minimum of posts. There is something about spammers and having less than 50-100 posts. Maybe require some minimal form of verification for this (paypal, a non-free email ID (like comcast or verizon), credit card, whatever..., or else...

Ignore them. You have said a lot of stuff that makes sense. There are always people who give opinions and do not know what is critical or not. Just use the ignore button and weed out people who are still reading "Trading for Newbies."

+1 a good trader goes long, short or flat, increases or reduces positions, diversifies, etc. at the right time. There is nothing special about going long, except the market tends to rise in the longterm (inflation, etc.) You learn to trade price action and trade what you see. You don't...

yes, the past 12 months has been hard on everyone. But 2002-2008, EE majors at the decent schools were getting multiple offers. Not just the experienced ones.

you sort of ignored the request. How do you have all this intimate knowledge of St.Louis trading ability????

Do you really want to put to a vote to traders who actually trade, whether they think slippage is important or not? do you also think they consider things like commission or reliability of brokers as unimportant? Perhaps they conisder trade and money management as unimportant? But from a...

How in the world would you know? Show which posts show you have had longterm serious dialogue with StLouisTrader on ET??? Is this what he told you or have you been to his house every month, watching him trade??? Successful traders don't start threads proclaiming they are one of the top 13...

I agree with the other poster that said you must be hiding something. You sat around for 7 years filling out applications????? Do any internships? Have any experience? Ask for $120K coming out of college? I find your claim extremely extremely unlikely unless you went to some place like...

Quote from BPtrader: From the viewpoint of a trader, competition among brokers is welcomed. The better broker wins over customers. the desperate broker tries a sales pitch amidst discussion of of a pretty good broker. frankly, it stunk. From the viewpoint of a broker or an employee at...

if you stop to think, obviously the poll has nothing to do with one trade. It has to do with an average. Kapish? :D

Yes, You traded 3-4 months and you can predict the direction? Not even multi-billion dollar financial institutions can or claim to have this ability I would say that you somehow convinced yourself you could do this, but in reality you are completely wrong. That aside, you need an edge...

you trade and you don't understand slippage?

Would you have started this thread if you had MADE $600 ??? You are not a serious trader if you are hanging on one broker. I had bad experiences with a few. That is called "LIFE."

Blogs appear to be allowed, but this seems like you should be apologizing instead for SPAM

So, this means it will be nationalized by Chavez???

You use reasonable leverage. More volatile, less leverage

the problem is, you post a couple of events (which is statistically meaningless), and keep assuming it is the presidency that had anything to do with it. The economy generally ignores who leads. Did a particular president create 9/11 or the telecomm/internet bubble collapse or the Y2K scare...

Joe had to turn off his PMs due to being inundated, so thanks but no thanks on your attempt to redirect. It would be a nice addition
