What I think of technical analysis is that it works, but the machines/algorithms see the crossovers, trend line breaks, etc, a gazillion times faster than humans, so unless you have an automated system directly connected to the market like HFT firms do, you are fighting a losing battle. Fundamental ...

pmward, I have read through Sophie's responses, and none sound like an attack, more like her strong opinion. I don't think she's going to try to convert 100% of your allocation to the pp. That said, I am 52. Not sure how old you are. I have tried it all, day trading, options, spreads, covered calls,...

If I could go back and change one thing about history, it would be to wipe out Ancel Keyes. He should have been fired and forced to retract his papers, given all the scientific misconduct (cherry-picking data) and logical flaws (e.g. ignoring the effect of cigarette smoking). Yes!

Anyone buying physical metals over the weekend in response to recent events in the Middle East? I came close at least three times but held back. I would buy at 1300/oz.

Well, that didn't last long.

Gold is quite volatile!

Hasbro is debuting a special edition of Monopoly which “celebrates women’s empowerment” by giving female players mor...

One assault or rape is too many.

But like dualstow says, what's the percentage? Below is a recent yearly total. This happens a lot. Crazy.

3 1/2 months left in the year. PP was up 17.5% a couple days ago. Up 15.3% today (yes I am looking daily) Weird sense in my stomach that someone is going to pull something out of their a** and that 15.3% is going to be in the sub 5% range by Dec 31st. Gold back at $1200. Crap like that. But I also d...

Now you feel good??
