  i'm starting this thread for those of us that love the process and rewards of trading and investing.

  contrary to popular belief, the markets are not rigged and no one is ever "set up" to fail.

  the markets are an open format for capitalist's to take advantage of.

  Day trading for Forex and Swing trading (hold for 1-12 months) for stocks. You will always do better holding stocks bought at bargain prices. Forex is a differennt story, very tough to hold for a long time, you want to capture your profits quickly.....15 mins. to 48 hours.

The markets are an open format for capitalist's to take advantage of. Anyone can trade, invest and profit....if you know how.

  I watch CNBC and Bloomburg Business and Finance. I have been Investing and Trading since 1993 and I remember my first trade online. When online trading became accessible, it was a whole new world. Now the "average Joe" didn't have to rely on the intelligence (or lack therof) of a broker. My first trade was with a new airline called Frontier Airlines, I made a few bucks and I was hooked. I eventually learned about trading on Margin (trading twice the amount of actual cash in your account - essentially "borrowing" money to trade more shares). Later, I was looking for bigger and faster results and discovered Forex (Foreign Exchange) where trading ratio's went as high as 500:1. That's trading $500.00 U.S. of the broker's money for every $1.00 I put into the transaction. So...at 500:1, I could trade (control) $500,000.00 U.S. for $1,000.00 U.S.

  I've studied both Fundemental (Business and Macro forecasting) and Technical (Chart reading/interpretation) analysis for many years and I'll share what I know here.

  I will be posting my trades and investment ideas here for both Forex and Stocks. Anyone can feel free to contribute.....

  A Few Moral Dilemmas

  by DT in

  1. jw

  how do you judge what makes a certain action moral?

  do you feel that morality is determined by universal rules (either determined by a deity or by general agreement) or do you feel that it is more important to consider the consequences of a decision and its affect on the greater good depending on the details of the situation?.

  for example, would you be willing to kill one person to save two, or ten, or a million?

  I love these, "what if" scenarios, that never seem to actually mean anything.

  Let's do a "what if" Obama were a good president? Would less people in America feel hopeless? Now those are some real questions....

  • Money?
  • Housing?
  • Electric bill
  • Views on God
  • Spousal questions

  You get the idea.... Once you begin to write it out you will see what is bothering you the most. I've done this exercise quite a few times and it really gets me focused to identify the "big stuff" and the "little stuff". Eventually you realize that life is what it is, and you can change some things, others you cannot.

  Tomorrow morning the sun will come up. Monday morning... the sun will come up AND the Stock Market will be open again!!! Wooooohoooooo!!! Now THERE'S something to be happy about!

  Hope that put a smile on your face....
