This article, although interesting, is over a year old. It talks about house prices cooling in Britain. Well since that article was written prices have continued their inexorable rise upwards (up 1.7% in October alone). There's little sign yet of the shit hitting the fan (unfortunately)...

Hi to all the traders back in the UK. I have a personal pension with Norwich Union (taken out many years ago before I left the UK), that I wish to transfer to somewhere where there is more choice of funds. I see Fidelity have a presence in the UK now but I'm sure there must be others who...

There's certainly a lot of varied and interesting opinions here. Just to set the record straight I have no debt currently (apart from the judgement). we use the credit card sparingly and it's paid off each month, We have no house and thus no huge mortgage. The cars are owned. We...

Thanks for all the responses so far. Dandxq: Apparently Texas does have homestead laws that can help protect ones property. However, as I didn't have the foresight to buy any property the issue is unfortunately moot. Katesdp : I don't want to sell the 2 cars as they are both 10+ years old...

Hello all. Due to a series of catastrophic events I find myself in a position where I am considering filing for bankruptcy. This is not a decision I have taken lightly but I am at my wits end and just can't see any other way out of my situation. I live in Texas and have limited assets - a...

I'm in Allen. I agree that there seems to be a dearth of traders in this area.

Same here. My lovely wife works full time to cover all of our expenses and get us medical coverage. For my part when the markets close I tidy up and make the dinner. A good arrangement.

Just to clear a few things up. I am swing trading, although as I'm not working at the moment I have had lots of opportunity to watch the market during the day. I think this has led to me jumping into things at the wrong time. I'm trying now to just put my trades on (with stops) and then...

Interesting advice, Jango. Something for me to dwell on. A planned stop loss is something I do have actually. Of course again my "gut instinct" sometimes makes me ignore it, usually to my peril. The problem here stems form the fact that I had a couple of big wins early on from stocks that...

I'm sure this is a pretty common thread with beginners. My problem is that I plan out my trades but sometimes don't follow the plan with the inevitable result i.e big losses. An example: I spotted a stock (using candlesticks) that was moving up nicely and approaching a previous gap. I...

Firefox is excellent. It's fast and very customizable. The tabbed browsing feature is one of it's main strengths as far as I am concerned. But it isn't without its problems. There is a known bug with some pages that use extensive Javascript that causes Firefox to hit 100% CPU. Unfortunately...
