[ I know Peter from New York where we worked at the same firm in the late '90s ] Peter, you're a married man with 5 kids, I suggest you deny knowing Claudia. Havn't met her myself but from what Jacques has told me, she a knock-out with a penchant for traders, even lousy traders. Appearantly...

Plugger, Overlandpark might be a sixteen year old playing on his Mommie's computer, but on the other hand when I was at Broadway trading there was a guy just like him, and he did have a pile of Daddy's money to jack around with.

Its the wrong time of year to be short Ebay, but if you can wait awhile you should get out with a good profit. I'm thinking February or March unless Ebay has a good Christmas, then could take till late spring to cool off. At 43 you don't have a big problem, it could go there tomorrow quite...

Ok, your post sets a new standard for dumb posts. You win. Please let me let you test me, dip stick.

Jeeze, now every wacko out there is going to be going short. I still say they should only allow registered shortologists to go short.

Shortologist Sez Ok, today, Dec 24, I shorted between 21 and 23 minutes after the market opened. Again I missed the top. Then 3 hours 18 minutes into the market I covered. Missed the bottem also. I made .44 per share, on 4000 shares, a $55 stock. Christmas Eve so I gotta go, but will...

I short every day, my ratio of shorts to longs is 12:1 My last losing day was Oct 30, 2003. Some stocks over-react to good news, then pull back. Thats where a professional shortologist comes in. I seem to always short shy of the top, I catch an uptick, but usally not the last uptick, but...

When I am experimenting with a new idea I like to run the new strategy on a real time simulator for a few months to test it out. Currently I am using the 'trade' feature on E-Signal. Not that reliable. Can anyone suggest a good real time simulator for equities? Thanks, Shorty

I try to judge sentiment from briefing.com but its not too effective. Any other suggestions?
