    discipline Key word in life, in trading success

    Yeah. To paraphrase another Ed, Seykota, everyone gets what they deserve out of life. Van Tharp devoted an entire 174-page volume of his classic 5-volume "Peak Performance Course" to the subject.

    Energy consumption of my laptop

    It should be added that, before Step 4a (but not 4b), the battery needs to be fully charged. For both 4a and 4b, the closer the battery is to its original spec, the more accurate your power consumption estimate will be. If the battery's output capacity has been degraded, say, after hundreds...

    TRADER: The Documentary Paul Tudor Jones

    Yes, you would certainly think so. However, consider, if you will, that even that little paper of record, the NY Times -- with all its resources, connections and in-house research brainpower -- ended up buying "Trader" outright, on DVD (from me, of all people), for that feature story on PTJ...

    Paul "The Man" Tudor Jones in the NYT

    Landon Thomas Jr., the NY Times correspondent who wrote that story in last Saturday's paper, managed to track down no one other than yours truly from my old ET posts (offering new sets of the Jack Schwager Trading Course below wholesale on behalf of someone in need, with "Trader" as a free...

    More proof, your dollars are worthless

    Damn, so close to the record (for contemporary art at auction), but no cigar. The day before, for a tad more, $72.8 million, you coulda had "White Center", Rothko's 1950 magnum opus. If that's not depressing enough, consider this: "Seasoned auctiongoers noticed that last night...

    Ex Goldman CEO "Shocked" & "Appalled" By Wall Street Pay

    CT Hedge Fund Manager goes wacko

    "Albert Hsu, 43, will spend at least 30 days in a therapy program in Brewster, N.Y., then must live with his parents in Bayside, N.Y., while the case against him is pending, state Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin ruled." (shudder) That's brutal. He'd better not mess with Judge Dredd.
