Yeah, but I was just told return % is irrelevant and that good trading has nothing to do with % return. :confused: If a full-time, small-account trader makes a yearly .5% return with a .5% drawdown, is he a good trader? How much leverage would he need to be able to eat? My D.U.M...

See, Bwolinsky? You laughed when I said my patented D.U.M. ("Dollars Under the Mattress") trading system is great. 0% drawdown.

Doesn't that actually give more evidence to what was said? If you say 50%R/50%DD is "an average trader with an average system/method," is it no wonder then if "average or better" traders with "average or better" systems say of course 50% profit isn't a pie-in-the-sky number to achieve?

That was my point, of course. For all the bad words Timmay gets around here, EVEN HE makes fun of those who claim their greatness based on "outperforming." You keep bringing up Covestor. Hasn't Timmay been #1 on there for a long time? I know, I know, some say he cheats on there. Beats...

"Outperform." With all the grief Tim Sykes takes around here, even he doesn't base his % on "outperform" and in fact makes fun of those who do. It's hard for me to find "substantial worth" in a system that can't "outperform" cash in a mattress. To answer the OP, I think dhpar already had...

There's a difference between "conservative" and "neo-conservative." And just because she has an "R" next to her name doesn't mean she's a neo-con.

An older, single guy with some viagra and wanting to use it. Oh no! lol. Prostitution should be legal anyway, and in fact is in certain parts of the U.S.. Was Rush cheating on his wife with whores or doing them in the Oval Office where it might be a matter of National Security? Probably...

Yet another example of Big Government sticking it to you. If the average person who mainly only thinks about income tax added up every little fee government sticks them with every year, they'd be in shock.

There are a great many professional gamblers out there that can't rely on any software to help them manage risk, and they do fine. So a single, big-hedge-fund trader can trade the company's entire net worth if the situation is right? If not, as you say, then I don't see a whole lot of...

:confused: I would have thought Dr. Doom was too smart to get into a depression.

Some people argue that unless there's a specific problem you are trying to fix, cleaning out the registry doesn't do much and can mainly only hurt. Having said that.... I generally use Revo Uninstaller and Glary Utilities. Others like CCCcleaner. All are free and good. There are other...

There's different ways of coming at this topic. There's the "dumbed-down, lazy" America where the person is happy being mediocre or being less than mediocre and getting paid via government handouts confiscated from other people and having government tell them what to do, and they may lose what...

That's the main thing I got from him too the past months. It's nice to see any media person speak up. Dare I say even Cramer seems a little more conscious about such things after being on Stewart. Heck, I was surprised the other day when Cramer said something like hedge fund managers think...

Two wrongs don't make a right. People keep electing one Big-Government clown after another. People know there are more than two political parties, right? Hmm, maybe not. Let's all meet back here in four years and see what Obama has done to The Second Amendment, or, what will probably...

Maybe. But I'm sure government will find every way it can to take those things from them. I mean, even today in certain areas there is a flux of people who have to move because property tax increases have priced them out of their paid-off homes. It's pretty sad when government takes and takes...
