“The inferior reasoning of crowds is based, just as is reasoning of a high order, on the association of ideas, but between the ideas associated by crowds there are only apparent bonds of analogy or succession. The mode of reasoning of crowds resembles that of the Esquimax who, knowing from...

Couldn't ask for a better demonstration than that! - brilliant post. Gets right down to the basic ingredients - the different people in the market, how they feel, what they do, and why they do it. This is true market reading and understanding. Doesn't mean you can't gain an edge another way...

Combined price is good, but read these for comparisons and reviews: http://www.adslguide.org.uk/ http://www.ispreview.co.uk/ http://paler.com/ I was with freeserve/wanadoo/orange for many years, but reliability fell apart earlier this year when they upgraded to 8Mb and did LLU (whatever that...

Thanks for the comments guys - very interesting. Generally it does seem that Dell are not as cheap and nasty as some of their dearer competitors would have you believe. Expandability now seems to be a key selling point on their higher priced models, which didn't use to be the case...

I’m currently looking at various options for a new PC in the near future. As well as the usual internet companies (Dell, Evesham, Mesh etc) I have seen adverts by more specialist suppliers specifically directed towards trading. For example: http://www.tradersworld.com/computers/index.htm...

If you go to the homepage link under his name I think you may get sample sections to review before buying. I found it very informative and helpful - have a look and decide yourself. D

Same here - good to meet you all. I shall have to be a bit more adventurous with the choice of curry next time! :)

Maybe - and if so not just for t2w but also for the vendors who use it. The sugar laced patronage of Socrates in some quarters is as clear as it is understandable. Having the local loony dancing in front of the shop window is something no vendor can risk, if a significant proportion of their...

Seriously though, the issue of moderator bias just goes round and round. I think people tend to stew on things until they blow up in threads like this, by which time it's too late. Personally I have never tried using the 'report bad post' button as Rosso has suggested above, and has...

He didn't tie her to a chair as well did he?

T2W, I have no wish to stir up further trouble but there is something that is bugging me and I must ask. It relates to a question asked earlier in this thread, and I would like a member of the T2W staff to answer if possible. Other than posting on the forums, does Socrates have, or has he...

Relatively high activity levels continue, and the Dow and S&P have lashed back and forth in volatile ranges over the last 3 weeks - certainly not a quiet consolidation. The recent move away from the range lows preceded an upwards break yesterday - but the closes on the futures were...

The straight up and straight down price action last Wednesday/Thursday looked familiar. Looking at previous lows on the daily chart price often becomes volatile with obvious long 'buy' candles being completely retraced the next day. Could this be an attempt to shake out some additional...

As (I think ) I understand it, the slope of a demand or supply line represents the difference between the "value" of a security (as perceived by buyers and sellers respectively) and its current price. The greater the difference, the steeper the lines. The distance between the lines shows the...

I don't generally look at horizontal volume display as I think it's usually possible to get the gist of what's happening from a standard PV chart. However, the attached illustrates the point with regard to the 2050-60 area over the last year.
