    Karen the "Supertrader"

    Humility is a great thing in the market, and in life. I don't know a damn thing about the markets or life. Keep it simple as possible. The pursuit of perfect knowledge is a fool's errand.

    Asset protection

    The point of the LLC is to create a veil of protection for shareholders against any possible liability the LLC may have in the future. What is the point if you are trading your own money, the LLC won't have any liabilities that the LLC will shield you against.

    Why does TA not work (for you)?

    I heavily rely on TA. The indicators are quite simple really. TA is not some holy grail. TA doesn't necessitate for some future event to happen. That said, I do find it to be a great risk-management tool.

    The case for ultra-selectivity

    Go for the doubles to tithe you over until the fat pitch comes. The doubles keep you in the game. The home-runs make you a winner.

    Successful Trading and Compounding - On Steroids

    Stop trying to get rich quick. Listen to yourself. You plowed through over 70k in 3 years and now, undercapitalized, you expect to double your account every 4 weeks. Seriously? I am sorry, but you are destined for failure with this mindset. I cringe with what you writing. The market...

    An offer to Volente.

    anyone who posts their calls live is probably a net-loser. Anyone who cares whether the likely aforementioned loser is fabricating his calls is also probably a loser. You take the garbage that is posted on here much too seriously.

    A trading epiphany

    This is how I tend to frame my trades. Do I have too much company on my side of the trade? What is the makeup of the people on my side of the trade? Is it dumb money? What possible exogenous events have not been priced in by the financial models that I can make a profit? Everybody is using...

    Successful Trading and Compounding - On Steroids

    I am wrong roughly 50% of the time. And I'm doing fine. It's called speculation for a reason. It's folly to think you need to be right most of the time to make money. Better to be wrong most of the time, and press the shit out of my few winners. Taking losses... just a built in cost of the game...

    Consistently profitable?

    You'll never get the right answer, because you're asking the wrong question. Develop a strategy, but more importantly learn to identify when the market is no longer conducive to your strategy... then turn it off and/or size down. The problem isn't your strategy per se, it's that you haven't...

    Wall St Jo: Student-Loan Debt Tops $1 Trillion

    Do I think the student debt situation is outrageous on the aggregate level? Absolutely. However, my point is that on the individual level the situation is still very manageable for the prudent student. Is it a win-win situation, far from it. Personally I think the spigot on the easy money for...
