Agreed - TA still works, but because it's largely self-referencing now it's a lot more complicated than it used to be. Simple formations used...
I know nothing about RE, but what kind of % were you looking for? You can margin a short on any stock and double your money if housing tanks.
No pity. We all have problems. Some people die of starvation 6 mos. after coming into the world. I've seen a reference to GEB on this site...
You're talking about a pretty sophisticated style of trading; the more power to you. My main concern is the longer-term implications of what I...
No. Due to vision problems I can't read for extended periods. I've been turned off books because it takes me half an eternity to make my way...
I think that our ponderings might be more applicable than mere philosophical rambling. If you accept the notion that the whole market collective...
Unquestionably program trading is a major contributor to the new trading rationale. The first explanation I heard for the crash of '87 was...

Too bad. Sure could have used some wrong advice. Seems the right advice always costs me. Best of luck.
Do you see further consolidation here 390.00 - 400.00, or do expect a push through next week? personally, I shorted golds today in the hopes...
They are clueless, but if you're masterminding your own straightforward equities trading you can bypass your broker. The biggest problem I've...
OK - so forget TD. In October I placed 2 orders for 200,000 + @ .305 and .21 and couldn't get a break. (two worst trades of my life!)
Glad you're not offended, HT. Looking forward to your dissertation on BB's; they seem to be one of the better indicators - especially when...
OK. Half a trading day tomorrow. Good luck.
Probably nothing.
Try TDWaterhouse @ 1-800-387-1722. Press "0", then "2" to get a Rep. Explain your situation to the Rep who can pass you on to a manager; the...
I was in such a hurry to respond to the first part of jbtrader's post that I didn't get the interesting notion presented in the last paragraph (...
