I find this whole thing rather tragic. The land of the free turned into the land of the powerful. The middle class and lower classes pays the bill for the rich and famous, who get more each year. For crying out loud... American citizens cant even trade without having 25k. Cant even own a foreign...

Its not my friend http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781359.html Now on 20th. Behind a lot of other countries. Only Belgium is behind in western world OR

The US is probably the most socialist country in the western world. No other place will you find more complicated government system, surveillance and little flexibility. Nor lack of freedom for so many groups of people. Also forgot to say lack of ownership rights. I mean as us citizen you...

Why would this be the case? Bush have lowered taxes, but still dont manage. This isnt the Reagan years where taxes were complicated and too high. In US you see too huge differences now between the poor and the rich. Its gone so far as to statistics showing that if you are born poor, you have...

There are a lot of people out there making good money in intraday trading. But it is extremely difficult. Ive found that experience is everything... At least for me. Some of the psychology reports Ive seen say that to be successful trader you need more good traits than in most other...

I forgot to say that I do not trade oil yet, but I am working on strategies that have yielded great numbers. Considering it now. I am a stock trader, and do not have much time. My point is this.... When you followed the oil market a few years you always see that the analysts have...

I have followed the oil market for years. What is happening now must be the stupidest hype ever. This season the oil inventories always fall, yet the analysts predict an inventory increase every single week. Why is that? Is it because they dont know better, or because they want to create a hype...

Oil is the new internet hype. It goes up on speculation, and just go and go and go. Inventories arent that bad. Is like an analyst said. Oil goes up because it can. A lot of alternative energy is already coming in. New and large oil fields are getting worked on. There is enough supply...

That is what I fear. Too often you see this before the news come day after now. This isnt a coincidence. No way. I have never seen the finance sector do this kind of jump in a weak market. OR

I am not surpriced. Yesterday banks and finance shares went to the roof on NYSE in a weak market. I think it was more than 3%. Today FED reduces the rate 0.5 %. Who made the dirty money? Who knew this before it happened? OR

Anyone here know about a good service to download historic oil data? Either brent or crude. Any help is greatly appreciated! ORM

I dont trade oil, but I look at it from time to time, as it is sort of an interest. Lately Ive noticed that the volatility must have increased a lot. Anyone here that trade oil that can verify or reject that assumption? In a 30 min timeframe the oil goes +/- a dollar. Its pretty insane...

Those who believed the scam some of the bigger brokerages made on oil is getting hurt now. I wonder how some hedge funds are doing with this. It became almost like the internet hype. ORM

The economy consist of a lot of different areas that need to function in order to be as efficient as possible. Take away an accountant and the economy wont suffer. Take away all, and you will get chaos. Take away a trader and nothing will happen.. Take away all and the economy will suffer...

Sorry but this is a ridiculous comparison. You cannot say that opportunity cost in this case have anything to do with the stock market. You sell for 50k profit and put it risk free in bank. You earn interest risk free. Stock market involve risk. If you applied that you would always be...

Trading is like any other business. 80%+ fails, 15 % do ok, 5 % very good. The markets will never be perfect. As such it will always be possible to make money. Within the next 10 years you will see another extreme period that late 90s/early 2000 were. For now you got to work for your return...

There is a journal by Goodpunk or something like that who started out like you I think. You can find it in the journal section. If I were you I would read that over and over and learn from his mistakes. It is really good read. Then work 14 hour days until you get profitable.. And if you cant...

Most people seem to forget that the long term bias of the market is up. Therefor the easiest way to trade trend would be on the upside. Saying this I do not say however that it is impossible to make money on downtrends. Just that it is more risk (unlimited risk). The markets can never be...

I have a question.. Im currently a US stock trader trading from Norway. Due to time differences though it is hard to trade the "full" day in US. Therefor I trade only the first 2 hours of the day. To trade German, Italian or French stocks would be brilliant for me in addition to my US...
