Hi guys! Do you mind if ET's FFL reigning Regular Season champ (whoof, whoof) joins in? rs7, you in buddy? Vulture?

Eminently corrigible, at that! Turns out I also had a lot of pent up ruth, too! :) I'm still on for hoisting a cold one with ya, share a few war stories and all that. Just keep the idea on ice for a while; I'm 10,000 miles away in location and in mind at the moment. Jem, pardon the...

Inandlong, it's good to hear from you, you are a class act. You were always able to look past my hysterics and treat me with the same civility you extend to members much more deserving than I. If you're half the gentleman in real life as you are on this board then Chicago's a lot better for...

Friends, ‘Tis with a heavy heart I report to you that after many a moon spent laboring on this, most fickle of passions – trading – I am a broken man; my funds are depleted, the profits that once freely flowed to my purse are but a distant, bittersweet memory and all I’m left with...

What are some of the metaphors* people have for the markets and for trading? *Eg, 'All the world's a stage' (Shkspr) For example, the latest one I've adopted is 'trading is a game'. More than just a slogan or a catchphrase, that statement is really quite representative of how I've...

I'm doing terrible this year, (especially compared to last year.) I've actually stopped trading. I was on fire last year (especially the first half). I really thought I knew something. Maybe I was just lucky, more than anything. I've been bleeding dollars this year as consistently as...

if they voice that sentiment, i think that should qualify... although, it would be pretty hard to prove they were serious from a post on a message board...

NO! are you for real dude? or are you just having a bit of fun here? if the former, haven't you yet realized that anytime someone sells something using the magic words like, "secrets of" "wealth" "freedom" "master.." "incredible" "in your spare time" etc that it is 99.99% likely...

look up the thread surf -- i took you up on it right there. it's a bet! :) (SP500 12/31 < SP500 1/1)

i think it's more of an oxymoron..
