I thought this was funny.
New York Times originally publishes the story that stocks rally on Fed cut, gets picked up by Google News, but by the time you clicked on the story NYT had the story changed. Thats the type of day it was, up big, then down, then back up bigger, then back down, [...]

So Tim Sykes sent me a pre-lim copy of his new book, An American Hedge Fund. It was released October 1st, I received it in September, but since everyone was posting their review on the 1st of October, I thought I’d help him out and give a little hype once the big boom of press [...]

However, you more than once will have to ignore complete and utter garbage as well, but as you become experienced [...]

You know a few days back I bought MPZ. After buying it wrong and then seeing it go down hard on an intraday basis thought I was forcing a trade so I sold it for a 15% loss.

My predictions went 5-4.
The big fight was a loser. Rampage won it. I’m a fan of both these guys so it didn’t matter as long as the fight was good. Chuck got caught with lazy looping hook that dropped him and then got some shots to the chin while on his back knocking him out.

I read this short piece by Rich Kiyosaki over at Yahoo Personal Finance. Its pretty good for reinforcing what the smart trader already knows. The comments contain some other good info as well. The article is not brainy or filled with a bunch of BS economics, just simple, buy low sell high stuff.
