The Bull Case for Hedge Funds (Yes, Hedge Funds)

You mention "High water marks" and the losers have to overcome last years results before they can make money. What about starting the "new " fund game that's played by the same bunch of losers? They just start a new fund when they have a bad year.

Think the Dow's Decline Has Been Bad? Check Out the Nikkei

The S&P went from 16K to 8K in just twelve months that pretty brutal.

I guess our S&P going form 16K to 8K in twelve is nothing!

Is the Bear Market Almost Over for the S&P and Silver?

User173148 sure makes much more sense and I beieve is correct. We will test the 888 level of the S&P of 03 shortly. That's 100 more points on the downside.

Free-Fall or More to Come?

100 points more to go on the downside for the S&P

Everything Financial Rolls Over: Is a Bounce Likely?

I think this article was very informative. For a turnaround we need a long tail candlestick on a daily chart..ie a typical washout down day with a recovery to at least even or up. Go back in time we never hit bottom without such a candle formation. Whoops... never say never in the market. A bounce today is a posssibility but the bottom is not in yet.

Is Trading for a Living Wise?

I've been daytrading for 30 years and at 57 I would also say that it sure beats a 9-5 dead end job. But start out with very a small acccount especially if you are trading the dow and S&P eminis. Big learning curve in futures trading. For day trading stocks you have to have a plan like all the books say. Good advice also to keep a journal. I like trading the S&P emini most of all because I got sick of buying a stock and having some idiot analyst downgrading it the next day.

I use Tradestation and its platform for trading is one of the best I've seen. The charts are as good as it gets. In the past four years I've now been developing Black Box trading systems....that is automatic trading and Tradestaion handles that as well. This sounds like a commercial but I've used Etrade Ameritrade and some others and Tradestion is by far the best. So if you are just starting out give it a try you won't be sorry. Having several screens helps as well. I don't reccommend trading pre market at all. For stocks I think beak-outs is the way to go using boxes flags and pennants etc. Good Luck and check out BlackBoxDow.com to track some automatic trading systems.
