In this environment I'd say stay out . . . Caution, caution, caution, first and foremost. . . Look, even the greatest players such as Jim Rogers, Linda Raschke, Marc Faber, Michael Covel, Dr Brett Steenbarger and Mark Mobius are having a hard time playing this market. I'd say stay out...

Jim Rogers is a well-known economic philosopher, and his thoughts about the Euro should be taken seriously. HiddenAgenda http://dr-morpheus.blogspot.com/

Interesting, isn't it . .. Here's another interesting tool, NYSE's MarkeTrac: http://marketrac.nyse.com/mt/index.html It didn't make me any money, though. But it's still a nice picture to look at. What it gives you is thrill. And, arguably, that's more important than money. HiddenAgenda...

To the OP: thank you for the list of blogs. I am sure many of them should prove useful. Then again, because we can't really verify the claims of bloggers (without invading their privacy), their success stories should not be taken at face value. HiddenAgenda http://dr-morpheus.blogspot.com/

Amazing! What a market! Next week should be interesting. Be careful out there! HiddenAgenda http://dr-morpheus.blogspot.com/

I've stumbled across an interesting experiment. Find out how the S&P "sounds": http://dr-morpheus.blogspot.com/2010/06/music-of-markets-s-500.html Price data is from January 1, 2008 through end of April 2010. This uses a scaled transform of the price series into music notes (midi values...

I'm surprised Russia isn't on the list, maybe because we have more billionaires than millionares :D One thing is certain through: they didn't make their money by trading online (well, neither did Warren Buffet, for that matter). They made it offline in the 1990's, by "converting" (many...

Whatever I don't think he meant it

It may seem a little counterintuitive, but sounds like the right thing to may be to just get a good, liquid ETF, e.g. SPY (or a broader one based on the Wilshire 5000), and relax. Unless you're a good algo trader with thoroghly backtested ideas, a pro. Just do what you REALLY like - sailing...

Hey Iron Dog, good link, interesting article! When it comes to gold, it's best to take a metaphysical view, in my opinion: http://www.financialsense.com/Experts/2008/Taylor.html Because if you don't, it's very difficult to figure out how exactly the precious metal is being manipulated...

Interesting mix of views. Thankfully, the tone of the discussion is polite and respectful. It's interesting the interview mentions small-cap stocks as a market with some potential for applying TA successfully (if I'm reading it correctly). Any good sources, blogs or publications which...

A friend of mine has a Ph.D. in Sociolinguistic Analysis. I showed him your message, he says you sound like a loser at the bottom of the social ladder.

The SHOCKING news is that the solution often lies in the area of criminal law, not exact sciences :D Check this out, a research piece by a hedge fund due diligence firm: http://www.castlehallalternatives.com/upload/publications/2507_ManhattantoMadoffPaper.pdf It turns out that the...

Here's a good read: Three cheers for the death of old economics by Anatole Kaletsky http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/anatole_kaletsky/article6892820.ece "The orthodox mathematical model took no account of reality. . . . Nobody seemed to notice that all this...

We know all this . .. Again, what's your point? What's the point of everything you've been saying here? Right , psychology . .. Nothing new . .. What else? Quite frankly, I just don's see what exactly you're trying to say!

I'm sorry, but I think you have to do a little better than that. Everything is about psychology. This is just another commonplace statement, which can be applied to any area of life. Quite frankly, I don't see what your point is.

Of course, if we're talking about people like David X. Li, I'm with the skeptics. http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/17-03/wp_quant?currentPage=1

"July 8 (Bloomberg) -- John Meriwether, who roiled global markets when Long-Term Capital Management LP collapsed in 1998, plans to shut his current hedge fund, according to a person familiar with the matter. JWM Partners LLC is closing its main Relative Value Opportunity II fund after losing...
