you think you know what you're talking about, which is what makes you an ass. having a violent hard-on for someone who's putting up great links, also qualifies you for the title. for instance, that single jane's street link has more value than every word you've probably ever uttered. that...

I use a fork to eat soup.

i was a newbie back when i started trading just before pdt was passed. at the time, i was trading with a small account at a retail firm. as a result of pdt, myself and many other traders were forced to look at other options, and made the move to one of these firms. if you know the history of the...

i don't think mercury would be doing nearly a billion shares a month if they weren't a teeny bit honest and also fulfilling some sort of obvious market demand. namely, a very small deposit, high relative leverage, industry platforms, low fees, and little hurdles in setting up an acct. no real...

it's because you're an ass.

I missed the part where the OP stated strat diversification increases R:R. He referenced a specific work of Acrary, which doesn't talk about that either. From everything I've read the only one who threw out R:R was Maestro in the misguided attempt to argue something that was never even...

This is pretty funny. That statement wasn't his argument, that was his closer because you're being a bit thick. Pretty sure he meant for you to look at his math... and in which case he is correct. There shouldn't be an argument here. Yolanda's chance of a blowout is bigger. Regardless if the...

the other weird thing is they both have around 7000 posts each... ...show em your trades or don't, just, whatever you do szeven, don't get into an argument with these guys. happy groveling boys.

forget it.
