Why the Price to Earnings Ratio of a stock matters. The Price to Earnings ratio is a simple measure that takes the Price a stock is trading at over the years EPS. As an example if a stock is trading at $10.00 per share and has earnings of $1.00 its price to earnings ratio would be 10. As a...

We are only just now figuring that out?

On Thursday we saw a continueation of Wednesday's gains. The S*P500 closed up 13.47 points to 1352.07, The Nasdasq was up 44.51 points and closed at 2360.92, while the DOW Industrials gained 108.44 points, closing at 12,378.61. Volume was high, but vastly lower than Wednesday's levels, so this...

Fred Thompson has just announced he is dropping out of the race. I saw him several times in Iowa and you could tell his heart was not really in it. That was very obvious Saturday night when he spoke as well. Unfortunatly with Thompson out I think that a lot of his vote goes over to Hucklebee who...

anybody?

Does anyone have this that is willing to sell it? Thanks, Brandon

It's likely that 400,000 of them wont come this year, and many will go back home due to the economy. Whenever America, or any other countries, economy expands it has a line of people ready to come in by whatever means they can. When things slow down many of them go home. Go to a pawn shop in a...

Asprin, Tylonol, Ibuprofen etc etc. More people die from the long term use of NSAIDs each year than any from all narcotic OD's combined. Kidney stones call also cause failure, many famous historical figures have died this way. Too much booze, the list goes on.

I wouldnt want to kill that person, I'd keep em alive and torture them every day :)

Welcome back stocktrader

Sorry, I assumed that most people would be aware of the current issues that the polticians are talking about and people are concerned about. I next assumed that by reading the text you could figure out for yourself what some of the problems are. Again, my bad, after all you know what they say...

Not doing too much today, just watching the market continue to go down. Since I'm maxxed out risk wise on my shorts, and not planning on buying anything at this point I'm left thinking about politics. Is it just me, or is anyone else sick of everyone bitching, but not offering a single solution...

Why does anyone care about rate cuts? The Fed started cutting rates towards the end of the summer and the market is lower than when they started because many people feel that the rate cuts are a part of the problem, not the solution.

They are not the same, but not all that different either. In most cases when you get a major correction in housing you can get a place at auction for about 1/3 of what its peak value was.

I think a group of 5 year olds could drive better then the average Floridian, but overall I think its a nice place.

Let em cut, the more they cut the more the market is going to go down. Of course they can't go and take America's dope away and raise rates either.

No shit, it would be much more cheaper to just hire a whore.

Its been a long time since I read the Phantom's book at Futures Mag, but it was definatly worth the time, and certainly the price. I learned a lot, but that does not mean I would agree with it all. In my own trading I make money on about 1/3 of my trades, lose on about 1/3 and breakeven on the...

I've always liked you, your a farmboy hick from Iowa just like me, and young and interested in the markets just like I was (I got interested when I was in about 6th or 7th grade), plus you actually know about the greatest little exchange in the world (that would be MGEX). In any event, all of...
