Gee that is going to be hard, since questions have to be asked in order to find concrete evidence. I can't find any flaw in the logic. So, I quess I'll keep asking the question, with your permission of course. Its funny how thing work. I've seen a few news stories speculating that Goldman...

Great! But, any reason why we shouldn't ask the questions?

Is that a reason that the questions need not be asked?

That is all fine but something is left out. Just expose all of that to the domocrartic process for a number of years and we will see the shape of things after a few years have passed.

Those who deman answers at this time don't have a loud enough voice. This is issue is a gift to Democrats. But Democrats are lazy. Democrats won't consider an issue that can't be explained to them in one sentence. Republicans aren't interested because they think private accounts are a...

1.) The only way to privatize social security is to do away with it. 2.) Private accounts are not a free market solution. 3.) Private accounts are a new government program. 4.) Private accounts are a subsidy to the securities industry. So called "free market solutions" easily become...

Is it true that? 1.) George Bush's Treasury Secretary, Paulson, has but together a consortium of privateer firms that is artificially pushing the stock market to new highs. 2.) The participating firms will be rewarded when the republicans are successful in creating private accounts...

In a democracy, leaders cannot be reelected to office unless they promise and deliver uninterrupted economic growth. Once tools of monetary and fiscal policy are fully exploited leaders start looking for other ways to boost economic activity. The newest tools are what I call asset enhancement...

I am not yet worried about deflation. I do question some cherished assumptions that are made in economics. One, is the idea that all money that is available will be borrowed. Although it has worked out that way so far. In our current economic situation, one exception could be a big problem...

I am familiar with that kind of stuff. There are ways to present an argument without attaching some wierd agenda. Lets seperate arguments from entertainment. q

Can anyone here make an argument that the U.S. faces a deflationary risk? q

A number of years ago I did a number of epherical studies envolving several lunar cycles and securities prices. End the end I was convinced that there was a relationship but it was too small to be of much value in trading. Have you ever done any empherical studies with astrology? James

1.) Learn some candlestick reversal patterns. 2.) Trade when the candlestick pattern is confirmed by one or more divergence indicators. (RSI or Accumulation/Distribution line, for example) That will improve your odds by a slight margin. James Quillian

mhashe I think a time stop is a better idea than a price stop loss. I have some respect for backesting. But, just deciding to close a position without a particular rule to follow has always given me good results. Everyone who thinks they come out a head using stops should also do backtests...

let it run I don't have an objective way of shifting my opinion. It is all subjective. I close positions when I am convinced that they are not going to work out. I don't do anything that is arbitrary. Most of my decision to hold these losing positions comes from my overall negative read on...

Babak: You are right that the capital I had in BEBE may have been more porductive somewhere else. I thought about that every day. Then again, If I would have switched it, I might have ended up being even worse off. I seldom get 100% committed. You have to remember that I work with whole...

Let it run: I have lot of confidence. Its all a matter of how you look at it. Placing stops, for example, may or may not contribute to good money management. I know traders who got stopped out of ten positions in a row and ended up with losses that exceeded mine during the same period of...

I don't look at fundamentals as much as you might think. IMO the stock market is mostly luck, good and bad. Technical analysis does not (also IMO) give people the margin of certainty that they believe that it does. What it can do (also IMO) is point to situations and configurations where the...

Very frequently, I do. Also, I don't hide my bad trades. Q&T is down about 8% for the year and that is almost totally due to the short portfolio. I would not do this if I shorted an index or even just one stock. Google (GOOG) is one of a basket full of shorts. When I short a stock its for a...
