    What would you tell your child if....

    "We wake up in the bed each morning, eat the same breakfast and drive to work down the same road. We see the same dull faces in the office, and shuffle papers on our old desks. We drive home, watch the same dumb shows on tv, have a beer, and go to sleep in the same bed. We repeat this routine...

    Still in College - Any Advice

    You said a couple pages back that your trading would be "more of a hobby." If this is the case, I'd recommend that you try longer-term trend-following. After you learn a successful approach, it consumes very little time compared to short-term trading. I'm inclined to think that it's probably...

    Fibonacci - How does it work - Does it really work?

    Here I go... In my opinion traders would do much better to limit their "tool box" to a few things that work very well and then look for geniune extreme readings in those things rather then--as most seem to do--try to find a stock/currency/future contract that has half the indicators under the...

    traders who are deeply religious

    I'd recommend any Christians here just drop the thread. "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces."

    traders who are deeply religious

    Incase you misread, it was directed to 'Trader' not 'trainr'. Not being rude, just not sure. I was citing writings to substanciate the notion that Jesus was regarded as God in nature previous to Constantinople.

    I'm normally a easy going person. But Trader, please stop this tried crap. Once more, "St. Ignatius of Antioch Letter to the Ephesians (110 A.D.): "For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God's plan" Letter to the Romans (110 A.D.): "to the church beloved and...

    I would really appreciate a response to this (i.e required age in Canada 19 or 21) as well.

    traders who are deeply religious

    Pretending that you so accurately and intimately know the personal life of the Emperor and his wife of 1.6 thousand years ago to the point where you can call that claim history is absolutely ridiculous. Anyways, here are just a few writings from the 'Early Church Fathers' on the subject that...

    traders who are deeply religious

    "Surely having decided what does exist, the onus was on proving what does exist. No onus there on proving what does not exist." With all due to respect gentlemen, I'm going to take exception to this statement and the ever-popular claim that atheism is scientific and the various religions are...

    I agree completely. I send some signals through their system and talk to customer service once in a blue moon, and I get shafted by BMO for $25 a turn? It's absolutely rediculous. I wonder if it's our big-6 banking system; I think we need some real banking competition badly. We're getting...

    Simplest trading stratedgy

    I hold between a few weeks to a few months which is somewhere between swing trading and position trading I suppose. I'd rather not tell everything about my system, but I'll give the gist. Every now and again I'll review about a hundred different sector indexes (I like the DJ list at...

    traders who are deeply religious

    1) He wasn't saying the children aren't starving, but that he found the figure of 25,000 questionable. 2) Considering a religion comtemptuous because of what one internet poster writes would be simply reckless at best. Although you didn't directly say that you'd connect the two, it wouldn't...

    Simplest trading stratedgy

    I think it can easily be overdone. That being said, I personally use indicators to help measure quantitively if a chart is infact 'low'. I don't use indicators for supposed special support levels, I don't think much of volume, etc. I buy when both the industry index and underlying security...

    Need data to make indicator...

    Hi guys. Here's the gist: I'm a longer-term swing trader. I've noticed that extremes in the Commercial Long to Comm. Short and Comm. Long to total OI indicators have an uncanny ability to act as leading indicators for trend reversals in commodities. Anyhow, I want to see if I can translate...

    What is your single biggest fear in life?

    I'm afraid of spiders. I'm afraid that the western world's ever increasing wealth and automated workload (robots, computers) will eventually result in a (more) proud, lazy, individualistic society. I'm afraid that in the not too distant future many people might die in large wars between...

    traders who are deeply religious

    "A more logical question would be as to why one should believe one or the other, which can't be answered, since logic ends where faith begins." I don't want to hijack the thread so I'll be quick. Many religious people, including myself, don't view our faith as "blind faith" or out of the...

    traders who are deeply religious

    I'm a deeply committed Christian and a trader. Someone earlier said truly devout Christians wouldn't trade (maybe a crude joke,) but that simply isn't true. We have money that would otherwise be in the bank that we'd like to put to work just like any other trader/investor. I recall the...

    Fibonacci - How does it work - Does it really work?

    Fibonacci, and 13th century Italian, made these numbers based on the breeding rates of rabbits, I've read. How these got brought into trading to a decimal point is a great testament to man's gullibility. As far as the results of the people who use it, I'd fade it; 1) people who use Fab...

    First of all, the community may have already discounted a possible dividend cut and if the cut doesn't infact come and you're short you could get hurt. Second, it's my humble opinion that this stock doesn't have too much more room fundamentally to fall. It's psr is only 0.07, around a dozen...
