from a confluence of African and European music traditions. From its early development until the present, jazz has incorporated music from 19th and 20th century American popular music . Its West African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes , improvisation , polyrhythms , syncopation , and the swung note . However, Art Blakey has been quoted as saying, "No America, no jazz. I’ve seen people try to connect it to other countries, for instance to Africa , but it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with Africa". The word "jazz" (in early years also spelled "jass") began as a West Coast slang term and ...

I am sure that you have seen a news report or two that claims that 90% of all day traders “bust out” and lose all of their money. Further, the report usually depicts some poor fellow who has spent the family savings and is in the process of bankrupcy or losing his home. Is it true? Well, in a certain sense the stories are true. As a long-time trader, I have seen more than my share of day traders lose all of their money and been forced to leave the profession. Sometimes these individuals have left high paying jobs to day trade full time and are forced to re-enter the workforce under-employed, or at least at jobs ...

The observations above are troubling: Goldman’s trading is by no stretch of the imagination better than average. In fact, in 2008, the firm’s prop trading was on par with some of the worst performers on Wall Street. Which begs the question: just how has Goldman managed to transform itself into a behemoth that over the past 6 months has had only three trading days of losses? The answer is simple: with no Lehman and no Bear to curb its tentacular dominance of all aspects of the Fixed Income market, Goldman can now rely almost exclusively on its monopolist agency position vis-a-vis mutual, pension, and hedge funds who ...

There's just 104 days left until November's Congressional midterm elections. Not a lot of time in the world of politics, especially, as many pundits argue, most voters' minds are made up as they take that last bite of July 4th BBQ. As such, President Obama needs to immediately shift gears and start aggressively touting the major, unprecedented accomplishments of his administration and Democrats before it's too late. And he needs to point out the unprecedented obstructionism of Republicans. He needs to do it all in a clear, concise, soundbite-effective manner that the poor, the middle class and independents ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
I asked a question about trend following earlier and decided against it, however the strategy ive been using with success is almost random. I literally just pick a stock and look at its chart and use technical analysis like bollinger bands. I look for band trading or breakouts or new highs. Each trade is different depending what i think. I also do a simple fundemental look and look at headlines and upcoming events. I basically take an educated guess from past performance. Most of the time like 6 or 7 out of 10 times im right. Call me lucky lol. When im wrong i simply cut my loses and look for something else. I also trade the ...
Please don't take this the wrong way, but this is like asking how you become a good pianist. You have to practice, practice, practice, and you have to have a natural talent for music to begin with. Stock trading is exactly the same way. One of my businesses is developing software for day traders to automate their algorithms, and I've seen a range of personalities and intelligence levels. There's no common thread here - you're either good at intuitively sensing what the market is doing, or you're not. A few pieces of advice: 1. Systems don't work - don't ever buy a book with a system in it. If ...
