What would you set your stops out in this market? I have been successful trading $SLW this week with very tight trailing stops. As @stevenplace sez: it pops, drops and chops every day like clockwork.

The reason the kids sit with their hands folded is that the Great Teachers' Union protects tired, bored, unenthusiastic "teachers" who leech on society and then collect $100,000/yr for life pensions because they put in 20 years. No wonder US is 2nd class country. Annual proficiency tests would eliminate 75% of the deadwood.

"It shouldn't be about demanding excellent grades in school, then punishing them if they don't get A's."

But if you don't do that, you won't be able to write best seller "Tiger Mom" book.

[A newspaper interviewed you? Who reads newspaper anymore? ;) ]

My 4-year undergraduate degree (at top-rated NE school) and 3-year law school degree (also top-rated) cost a total of $14,000, the 10-year 3% student loans included.

Do I expect anything less than a graduate degree for my kids? Of course not. Will it be worth the $400,000 price tag? Never.

Your premise that a college degree+ at all costs, at the risk of losing sight of the big picture, has much merit. For those who are not upper middle class the myth that a college degree is the GPS to a pot of gold remains as strong as the myths of religion and politics and hard work leading to success. Myths die very hard. Can we say "Buy and Hold"?

Middle class families believe the "sacrifice" of mortgaging all to the walls to get the kids a 'good college education' is just one more cost of living in the 21st century. They are blind to the reality that the business of college is not to educate but to perpetuate the college business. Education is merely a by-product. Just like the business of the pharmaceutical companies is to make money for their shareholders. Keeping people less sick is merely a by-product.

Years ago, when people still read business magazines printed on paper, there was a column in which the (very wealthy) author posited the same thesis: college is a waste a time for most attendees and that it rarely results in achieving advancement in the 'real world'. The Gates, Dell, Jobs examples were thrown out as exceptions too.

The real problem, as I see it, is that average middle class parents would be guilt-ridden if they didn't buy Junior a college degree, even though they know the family cannot afford it.

Unfortunately, your cautionary vision will not be read by the very people who need to heed it. Instead, it is being read by the handsome/beautiful, above-average intelligence StockTwits-community ilk, who know better. Living within one's economic means is Life Job #1.

For the last 10 years I have been a Worden TeleChart subscriber http://tinyurl.com/2dawlr8 .

One of the most useful features is "Slide Show". I can create a list based on any filter(s) as Roy described, fire up Slide Show and a chart for each item automatically appears for any duration I desire. On weekends I go thru all S&P 500 stocks in about 2 hours. The chart patterns for stocks in the same sector quickly becomes apparent. I also speed through all of the Indexes looking for patterns.

I started P90X 62 days ago after 7 years of daily 4 miles on treadmill and weight training at the fitness club. While my cardio was fine there was little physical changes. The results after just 1 month were visible to me (lost 14 lbs and look 5 years younger) and generated many favorable comments from total strangers at the club. If you can get your hands on the DVDs and the Diet and Fitness books you ought to try it. The Sat sessions are brilliant. I've told Howard you deserve a raise.

A friend, who is an MD, has lent me the DVDs and books. He is on Day #49 and has lost 12 pounds. I was certain P90X was another fad diet until I found this WIKI. You have done the world a great service for all of the time you have invested in compiling this information. Thank you. P90X is my summer project.

Much good health and prosperity for 2010.
