    IBD - Canslim Performance

    Thats a poor proxy to use as to how a person who is correctly using the Canslim method is doing. I think I do a good job applying it, and while until the recent decline (which I made nearly 14% on) I was underperforming the market for the first time since 1998, there are reasons outside of...

    Top 50 Trading Cities

    Maybe its all that nuc exposure then that's made Bob so bright and his accounts grow to extremely large size? Could I be on to something? Heck if thats all it takes I think I might go volunteer to be a nuclear test dummy a couple times. :)) I was nuked enough the last year anyway..so maybe I...

    Calling All Jimmy Jams

    Is the value of your life measured in dollar and cents and toys? Certainly some of it is, I know from growing up poverty is certainly no fun, but I also learned that if you have $1 to your name or you have $10 million to your name you still have to take a shit each morning and if you dont wipe...

    any good chat rooms in Paltalk & Hotcomm?

    We actually found that about half of the people very much prefer text to voice, about about half the people hated voice, they found it very distracting, and logs are not available for later review. Each person has a different way they learn best, and you can not accomodate them all. I think as a...

    Calling All Jimmy Jams

    Probably gets sick sour people who don't know anything about him or his service bashing it when the people using it are very happy with it. I spent a few days in there to check it out and would say its one of the better futures trading rooms I have ever seen on the net, and judging by the...

    Markets way oversold

    It's important for traders to remember that in a bull market there is no such thing as overbought. Most of the time they don't have a problem with that. However, the reverse of it is that once a bear cycle starts there is also no such thing as oversold, and for some reason people have a hell of...

    Abolish oil futures now

    This is true, but we would be wise to start dropping, rather than continue to add to their type of socialism in our own system. Singapore or Hong Kong are both great examples of how to run an economy. Note I did not say a country or govt, but an economy.

    Abolish oil futures now

    The boom in commodity prices has more to do with the death of the dollar than it does with the fact that futures trade on oil. However, since the majority of our oil comes from overseas, and oil is priced in USD, its natural that with a sinking dollar those people will demand more of them for...

    Homebuilder valuations

    Keep im mind that the homebuilders have always been cheap, so the fact that they are cheaper now should not shock anyone. On a price to earnings basis I can not recall seeing any of them come close to matching the avg S&P500 P/E even during the peak of their moves up, in fact I can not off the...

    What caused the '87 Crash?

    I think that during the crash you had a situation in which sellers became very aggressive as opposed to buyers. That is, they where willing to sell for less and less, but buyers still had now willingness to step in and buy. This type of action of course leads to lower price. This type of...

    My name is stupididiot and I am a dip buyer

    Do you have a little brother named Stocktrad3r and some cousins too? :) Anyway, dont beat yourself up too bad, its easy to fall for the hype..and sometimes the hype is right. When it is you will make money. The trick though is that you ALWAYS have to keep yourself observing it and not a...

    PureTick Live Trading Room - - FREE open house

    What might have happened if they send out newsletters and whatnot to people is that your ISP could have them tagged as junk and be blocking the stuf. This happens often, so people think they are being ignored, when in fact they are not. I'm not familiar enough with puretick to know what the deal...

    Why are traders such smug SOB's!?

    Someone is probably going to bleed eventually, but most likely you from the nose :)

    Why iPhone to cause AAPL to tank

    Yes. There are a lot of people with a lot of money to spend on the newest toy and they will. That all said I think that AAPL is in its own little mania and it'll end ugly.

    Nobody should Lose Money this Week

    Your correct, his thoughts are flawed and the market is not a zero sum game, it is in fact a NEGATIVE SUM GAME. Each time you make a trade you pay a small spread, you pay a commission, you pay for data, you probably have newsletters and whatnot you subscribe to. So, the market is not a zero sum...

    Which is the most important stat to you?

    Hips, waists, and breast? On a more serious note though, I tend to be more concerned with my drawdowns. How large are they vs my upswings. How long does it take to recover from a drawdown? How much of my return depends upon the market? Things like that are important to me. Plus Hips, Waists...

    Will Bear Stearns be the next New Century Financial?

    Yep, they are gonna be out of business in a few days now. Look out below, the sky is fallin, the ship is sinkin..get me my life raft, forget the woman and children this baby is going down.... well...Anyway, certainly BSC is in a strong downtrend, and fundamentally there is no reason to see it...

    Caxton Hedge Fund In Trouble??

    yawn, many, and maybe all of those things could be true. However, Kovner has been around forever and has probably "seen it all". I guess anything is possible, but I do not think he would put himself in a position to be blown out. He is not some 27 year old hotshit with too much money and way too...
