Another post to you, sorry for so many. It's kind of a question/comment and observation. Do you think that the Fed could truely lower rates? I mean anyone who is out in the real world can see that prices of goods are still going up, no matter what the fancy numbers DC comes out with say. Also...

They did get a bit creative with it though. Typically it is my understanding that they will only take Govt backed security pledges for loands, but the last few days they have not taken those, claiming that the market for Treasuries is strong due to flight to quality and they don't want to drive...

You'll have to forgive me disagreeing with you, but I hardly think this will qualify as the best buying opportunity EVER. A good buying opportunity, sure thats possible - at this point I'm open to the idea that my bearish scenario and analysis, while spot on, is going to take awhile to play out...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from Brandonf: Coz thats how markets have worked for as long as there has been markets. Markets top when the news is the best and they bottom when its at the worst. At this point we have the Fed bailing...

I want to explain what I mean by this point, that they are taking on the dirt and Mainstreet is going to bail out the greedy bastards again. Traditionally the will only take US backed securities as collatoral from a bank when they give money, that means Treasuries, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. They...

You could be correct, I've already changed my mind about the prospects for the market five or six times this month, which generally to me just means I don't have anything real solid and so I'm still keeping my biggest position in cash. I was quiet bullish the other day, yesterday kinda threw me...

Coz thats how markets have worked for as long as there has been markets. Markets top when the news is the best and they bottom when its at the worst. At this point we have the Fed bailing out all the idiots who took on the subprime dirt that we are all worried about, so wall street is throwing a...

I think its important to take the idea's and philosophy of any method and read into them everything you can. If it makes sense to you, then take that and turn it into something that works for you. I would agree with you that trading it exactly as O'neil advocates is difficult to impossible...

You must be one of those starey eyed new folks that thinks he has finally found the way to make money, and its how everyone else does it too.

I tend to agree with you, but your wrong here. If the Fed lowers rates all they are going to do is continue this mess for a little bit longer. Ultimatly the piper is going to be paid. They should still have an inflation bais, have you been to the grocery store or the gas station lately? Have you...

There is not really too much to report. Of the stocks I gave the other day, all are handling the decline pretty well. HWAY took off nicely for a few days and should have produced profits to cover the losses/flat trades on the rest of them. In any case it looks like we are back into the bear...

Where's all the new buy the dip, this is a buying buying buy opportunity threads? Come on guys, ya'll are BULLSSSSS..grab it by the horns. There is blood on them there streets.

That is what I thought, but they did not agree. I said it on a commercial site and their opinion was that I was cashing in on the good will and brand they had built and that it could harm them. I still dont see any harm, and in fact I know of over 100 people who subsribe or subscribed to IBD and...

I'm a little bit like Santa Clause when it comes to the markets: I'm always making my list and checking it twice (plus I sometimes give free things away to good traders on top of it all!). I think that this has been a very important part of my overall success as a trader since 1998 (When I was...

We have given up the milatary too. How would we fight a war against China? You think they are going to pay for us to fight it, or let their neighors continue to finance us. Fat chance. We can do what our creditors let us by with doing at this point and not a whole lot else.

Why do you need a book to do seminars, newsletters, websites and whatnot. I never wrote one and did very well with my sites. Brandon

pretty much

If its genetic how come 30 years ago we didnt have all obsese people we have now? I'm not saying it could not be, but its hard to see the relationship. I think you can say its behaviorhal, children tend to pick up their parents habits. Brandon

if you fit in why would you stand out?

I would agree with that, its also an excellent place to find short candidates when things turn ugly, that does not make the method's overall long term performance any less impressive though. Brandon PS. I'm defending them even though the bastards sued me for simply saying O'Neil...
