Would be rather silly to buy Puts at the moment as I don't really see China crashing for a couple of years yet. At least I don't go around telling everybody "This time it is different"

This is just another wat of saying "This time it is different" This has been said before every crash in history and serves only to hide one's head in the sand. Though no point in arguing the point as only time will tell.

You make a good point there, the problem is although it will definitely happen at some time nobody knows when!!! But when it does happen it will be a serious event. My guess is it will happen in a couple of years but that is pure guesswork. The Chinese situation does not appear to have achieved...

This was true as I remember the Nikkei index reached great heights about 35,000 as far as I remember as part of th big bubble. Japanese property prices were also part of that bubble. I was working for a US company at that time and in common with other US companies we were frantically trying to...

Don't mean to be insulting but if you have this problem are you sure you are cut out to be a trader! Or maybe you are trading in a way that does not suit you! Are you making money that is the main thing nothing else matters really.

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator I have read this book twice and it is an excellent book with many useful anecdotes which are as relevant today as they were all those years ago. However I certainly cannot subscribe to the view that he was the greatest speculator ever. Don't forget he earned...

I generally disagree with quite a lot in this article. In so many cases people should quit trading of that there is no doubt. It is a very wise person who knows that they are no cut out for a certain activity in life and it takes courage to admit it. Regarding drawdowns and quitting, how does...

Well Well that says it all, no more posts from me I am going back to the sanity of the financial boards, one cannot argue with a closed mind. The post would be quite funny if it wasn't so utterly sad.

He is a concept who does not exist !!!!

I concluded that you were uncomfortable because of the way you accused me of "castigating" with no basis whatsoever. You have views, which I find quite frankly ridiculous. I am sure you find my views quite ridiculous also. I can live with it and I hope you can !!!

I am sure that if you read my post you will find that I did not castigate anyone, merely expressing a point of view. I realise that you probably feel uncomfortable that anyone should express views contrary to your own views.

To base one's whole life on the contents of a book seems to me to be a bit irrational. And is it only these books that can pass on a MORAL code as it was put, can I not have a moral code or is that not allowed because I am an atheist? These religious books you mention are hardly historically...

Danfreak, The last thing I wanted to do was to insult your particular religion. My tirade was against the religious bigots of all persuasions who seek to impose their beliefs and will on others. This is what has been the root cause of so many deaths in the world in past centuries and continues...

Unfortunately it is in most religions nature to want to curb peoples freedom, in varying degrees. The whole concept of religion was invented in order to keep the masses under control and curb freedom of thought and expression. They want to mould peoples views (brainwash) into some predefined...

Is this now a religious propaganda thread? Looks like this thread is now becoming a religious propaganda site. The sooner all governments dispense with this ridiculous superstitious nonsense the sooner the world will be a better place to live in. Religious faith is a cop-out for the...
