    Divorce and trading

    I'd like to hear form anyone who went through divorce while they were trading. After almost 20 yrs, I am getting a divorce. I'd like to know if there's anything that really stood out during the inevitable increase in stress and emotions. I have already made the decision to stop trading...

    Lost From Top

    Go home after you make the easy money. Try it, you might like making $4k-$10k/month. Hmmm...$48k - $120k/year. What do you make now? I wonder if any of you beginners have actually taken my advice when it comes to this topic. I think there's been at least 2 or 3 posts like this in the last...

    How small do you trade after a decent size loss?

    was a fluke or did you break rules? if it was a fluke, then forget about it & keep trading. if you broke rules, then trading smaller probably won't help... try not watching for a little bit and take a deep breath. then come back with a big grin and kick some ass.

    Yet another stupid Q about multi monitor setups

    Yup - plug and play. I'm good to go! I didn't even have to load drivers or anything. I had no idea that if you have a video card with both vga and dvi ports, that you can have a dual monitor setup. Pretty cool. Now, do you have Monday's WSJ? That'll really help too. lol Thanks...

    Yet another stupid Q about multi monitor setups

    I have only one vga slot. But there is a dvi slot also. My Q: Can I use a second monitor only using the dvi slot or is the dvi slot somehow paired to the one vga slot? Thanks for any help.

    Who's your trading idol?

    Lenny Dykstra the former baseball player? yup, for the Mets. lol...just one quote from the article: "Who's this dumping 170,000 shares? It's brutal. I'm gonna find this mofo." Sounds like he invests/trades like he played ball. He was a scrapper for sure.

    Justifying the cost of the Bloomberg Terminal

    I'm not sure if they still offer this, but, the best way I found is to setup a series of training sessions with them. They used to send an acct rep for onsite training sessions on how to use the terminal to best suit your needs/mkts. Or you can visit them at their offices on Park ave. do it...
