Depends what your end game is. If you are a daytrader who profits from the daily gyrations, you care not at all about what you posted below, however if you are an investor it's more relevant.

I guess my point is, you need to better inform people of your perspective so that your definitive statements aren't blanket statements for everyone in the trading world.

Quote from Aaron Copland:

History shows that the first year of a Presidentâs four-year term is the worst for stocks.

But I remain optimistic that opportunities will pop up from time to time.

Quote from gnome:

I have a friend who used to work for NASA who went to Berkely...

Don't forget who runs the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Home of the Atomic Bomb, among other technological advancements.

Quote from Aaron Copland:

After two years of the Obama admin the market will start to move up.

Look at past admin shifts in relation to the stock market. I just donât see a catalyst this year.

Markets always make their move with the least amount of people on the right side. If it happened any other way nobody would make money.

Nice office!
But is it really yours?

I'm sorry Aaron, you lost all credibility here on ET when you posted that photo-shopped P&L of your imaginary 100 lot ES position from a "Demo system".

Remember Page #12?

I do.

Lets see your office, do you have one?

Yes, it does!
In the classroom and lab, and on the field as well.

Here is a LIVE view of the Bay from atop the campus.
A wee bit chilly today, but expected to get up into the low 60's this week . . . Don't forget to check out the "timelapse" movie of the view. Pretty amazing!

Yes, I do.

But given that you haven't posted since Dec. 1st, and then you come out of the "woodwork" TODAY to defend your "buddy" Aaron on this thread - - - not too mention that your very first post on ET was regarding me . . . please excuse me for not replying back to you and having you on ignore.

Best of luck to you.

I am here on ET since 2003 and under the current ID since 2004. Over all of these years I got to know a handful of real traders. The rest of the posters here (95% of them or more) are not traders at all. They are here for different reasons, I guess.
