Thanks - that gives me something to think about. I've got a certain amount of stats through (believe it or not) 6 actuarial exams on top of the...
Thx. That's what I thought someone was going to say, although I did not realize that the statistical side of things was so important.
Two reasons I don't see myself working for a prop firm: 1. I've got a good IT job, so I don't want to quit what I do, plus I can't really watch...
Out of curiosity, say you consistently beat the indexes for several years in your own personal account. What are the chances you could be hired...
Oops - I didn't notice that it doesn't have RS which is your main interest.
I noticed that you're interested in low cost. Below is a great first-cut screener that is absolutely free. (It does what I want anyway.)...
I'd think these guys were geniuses except for one thing: they come up with a way to predict market crashes and then tell the whole world about it...
Thanks for the info. That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm swing trading quite conservatively in a Roth. I didn't know about the five year...

I'm just saying that I will not go heavily long, because I think that there is a reasonable chance that terrorists will cripple our economy (only...
With all due respect, this IS a trading issue. I think one would be foolish to be heavily in certain kinds positions should someone contaminate a...

I think that, for now, the threat of a suitcase bomb is negligible. But the threat of a dirty bomb is much more likely. I've read that a dirty...
I thought some of you might be interested to know that Wade Cook has been indicted....
I just got injured on a swing trade on a great stock with great ratios. I was convinced it could not go any lower and, of course, it did. Later...
