Yes. Women traders are hotter.

Ingot, If you agreed with everything I posted, we would be bored. There is no way they would ever have pulled that off. As far as 911 is concerned, you really need to look at how poorly we do things to grasp how impossible it would be for our government to orchestrate such a plot. Incidentally, I know of a family from my town who was on the first plane. They were very real people and not part of a conspiracy. Did they try to use 911 as a reason to invade Iraq? yes. Was it inevitable to the rest of the world that we were going to invade no matter what? Look at the way we handled iraq once the sand cleared. We broke one of the major rules of war. I said we weren't cunning because I thought that we were embarrassingly transparent in our objectives, in spite of our attempt to be deceptive.

I want to take a vacation every 10-12 weeks. I am starting to feel my age.

My comments were a mock provocation of both Ingot and Siuya who are Aussie Nationals. I have not reason to think that Australia is depressing; frankly, I would suspect just the opposite. Sorry for the confusion.

Everyone might be overlooking the intended consequence of the prank: Laughter. How many people have woken up in Australia feeling suicidal and not committed suicide because they got a laugh out of these DJs? How many wives or children have not been beaten because someone was steered away from angry thoughts and encouraged to laugh by these DJs? God knows it is depressing enough to be in Australia. Let the people laugh.

Well, then I am the fool and fortunate, I suppose, that my wife's pregnancies were uncomplicated. No need for another thread. I would rather not flatter them by thinking about them further than we already have. I suspect that they are flattered, rather than sickened, by the suicide of the woman.

Come on now. They have lively debate on whether to call a guy, they met, back or not. Such topics are so difficult to figure out by one's self.

Hospital attention for morning sickness? Give me a fucking break. It's a shame that anything "royal" is of interest to anyone. The " royal" family thrives on "royal" attention. And, there is no end to the attention that the populace is willing to give.Cease and make them fad away like an old Sgt Pepper's album cover.

You can also claim that we provoked Al Qaida on 911. I think either claim is a stretch. The US is not that cunning. Reactionary and opportunistic, yes. Cunning, no.

You might be seeing an error that was reported from the exchange. The volume doesn't seem to look odd so it might just be an error that will get corrected.

I do appreciate a fast learner especially one with a good sense of humor.

I am not trading in the space that you guys are trading in, but, but, and but I do not see any reason to be short.

You should have a gold "C" so that us non "C's" can quickly identify you and know if you are drinking at the right water fountain. Personally, I don't let my children mingle with the children of "C's". When you say real time trades, do you mean demo real time?

Delta ( contracts at ask-contracts at bid) is helpful. The rest is experience. More art than right edged science.

In spite of the cliff rhetoric, I think there will be a resolution soon. The shorts will be bloodied. There are lots of shorts which leads to buying pressure. 1500 is within spitting distance. I am comfortable thinking we will see s&p 1750 (arbitrarily chosen) before we see s&p 1250 again.

New highs in the next 3-6 weeks. New highs for the year and possibly an all time high.

The most important things in my life are the commitments I have made. Family is a commitment. I would never do anything to compromise that commitment. If you lose your family because of trading, you do not know how to focus on the important things in life and likely lack the ability to focus period. Without the ability to focus, I doubt someone will be able to trade at all. Gamblers have a similar mindset. They will risk the grocery money on a sports bet or a blackjack table. I do not have much respect for those people. If you are not making enough money trading and causing issues in your home, then you should seek help. Save your family and drop the trading. Too many other things in life are far more important than watching a screen or trying to get a better hand at Blackjack than a dealer. No doubt trading is fun. It would be great to be able to do it full time all the time. If you are not profitable, then you have an issue. If you are profitable and you do not have enough trading capital, you also have an issue. Either way, you cannot spend your time trading if you have obligations that you have committed to and either do not make any money or cannot make enough money trading. Would I risk my family like the OP? Fuck no!

It would depend on how badly my economy would suffer if I decided to stop trading with you. I suspect that in most cases it is best that I allow you to kick the can down my road if you owe me money, until a more stable trading partner emerges.

At some point you are going to have to learn about having the right account size and appropriate position size for your account. You need to decide if you want to learn this before you lose your $1k or learn by losing your $1k. Some people never learn. If you learn now, you are ahead of the curve. Instead of dabbling, I would recommend dribbling. I suggest you take your 1k and get several relatively decent prostitutes; local market conditions will vary. Regardless of market conditions, you will be a lot more content dribbling than dabbling. Dribbling puts you at the right end of the stick no matter how much it costs.

I became concerned when I read the title of the post, but it's all good.

It is not as if the rest of the Non US world is sitting on a pile of dollars that do not want and will one day not want them because they are losing value. The dollar's shrunken value is already accounted for in world markets via the goods and services that are traded with dollars. At this point we are in the process of refinancing all our debt at near zero interest rates. The real question is: What is the haircut that our creditors will accept in the comming years? 20%, 50%

You can continue to play as long as you realize that Dume is only one of many possible outcomes. The least likely outcome is an end of the world scenario. Hard to say what the most likely scenario is other than status quo.

Keep it going, we are not yet at 96%

Well, a square is a 4 sided polygon with 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. A polygon is a closed shape. Since all of the 16 square shapes are not closed, then there are no polygons in the image. Since there are no polygons, there are no squares.

I trade only when the conditions are right for me to take money. I go long periods without trading if the conditions are not right. There is some seasonality to it, but not always as it was not the case this year. Practicing patience doesn't really add to gains, but it adds consistency to the gains.
