Ya, me too. It's been a rough week. That's what really comes through in that post.

OK. That's understandable, ChrisM. Why are you so scared suddenly after you posted this in a public forum? I don't appreciate people in my private affairs either. That's why I don't post 'em on public boards. That was the first knock on your credibility. You on the other hand can't resist...

ElCubano, They're trying to put caps on recovery for that kind of doctor's mistake in my home state. I think a set of balls in that case would go for a maximum of $250K, but you could get $150K for them individually.

ChrisM, Doesn't sound like a joke. I see you all over these boards and just thought "Damn. This guy's into everything. There's no way I would take all of that on." Don't be too flattered though, because I try to get some background and other posts on a lot of people before I heed anything...

Give if you want to. I think it's great to give and hope to give more every year of my life. It's sad to see some of you with this unearned guilt that makes giving into the payment of a debt. You guys must have been pretty evil in previous lives to be carrying that around with you every day.

ChrisM, are you really personally involved in all of the business ventures that you ask for advice about? You sound more like an attorney seeking legal advice from non-lawyers for several clients on some very complex issues. If you are personally involved, you sound like an unrealistically...

Why do these threads keep emerging? The question was answered succinctly and well. Get over it. I'm not going to knock Mother Theresa or anyone else that didn't just sit on their ass and complain that someone else didn't contribute enough. These conversations continue, but the question of...

I haven't known any savant traders, but most traders I have known are obsessive about knowing/memorizing something. It isn't always directly related to trading, but there could be parrallels in the skills.

Change "get nothing unless there is a surprise." Should say that you probably get a move against any anticipatory (preceding 2 wks) move.

You get nothing unless there is a surprise. I don't see a way to trade an earnings strategy, unless it pits you against the direction of price (probably wise to use price relative to markets/industry) in the two weeks previous to the announcement; or, you're better at predicting earnings...

Your friend should review the study materials for the licenses. They harp on this point.

The more common term is "hanging" the lilcenses. It's illegal. Why keep 'em if you don't use 'em?

I'm in Dallas about twice a month - moving back there in December. I'd like to visit any offices focussed on equities and talk w/ traders while there.

I just finished the school, because I have a completion fettish. It didn't really help my trading. If a guy's really willing to starve himself to keep $10K in a trading acct then maybe that's a good indicator of what he should be looking to do. It's an unlikely story, but I pulled similar...

With an attitude and remarks like that, you should expect to get chopped up anywhere.
