Jesus Christ was prosecuted for claiming to be the son of God. Issac Newton was a heretic for claiming that mankind could one day fly. wealthy shithead euphemism for rich imagination. I guess so. I just can't put one past you, can I thunderdog. Go put your cash in mutual funds like the...

OK makosqu, how do I compound? Remember, I'm trading thru an IRA to get the benefit of tax free compounding. No margin or options (exception selling covered calls) allowed. The only way I see to compound is to inject maximum allowable contribution once year then add that to gains or not...

The market is down 25 as of now and my position is holding on. (DTV) +19.2% as of this writing and held position for 10 weeks now. At this rate I will meet my first goal maybe less than 12 months. Market is down yet DTV is not down with it. That tells me my candidate is strong. We'll see...

Anyone know the platform or clearing firm Warren Buffett uses? I'm sure he hires only the best.

Absolutely Ashcroft! For now, I'm with Scottrade. $7 per side, market or limit. If this works out and my positions are at least 5000 share blocks, might have to go with a professional execution platform.

Trading is a game for a$$holes. You need to out a$$ the other a$$holes. What's not to like about doubling your cash, Goliath? Unless you're a disgruntled, broke trader.

People discuss strategies here on ET like it is life or death. This is one of 10 equity and future strategies I employ. When you learn to see the market as a game and financial laboratory, you will truly understnad the difference between risk capital and rent money. I'm in this for the...

P.S. I use no stops. This is a buy and hold investment. Not a swing trade. DTV dropped 3 full points after purchase. It's holding up nicely now. 5K is lunch money. This will be an interesting experiment.

BearBelly - If one loses a set %, then one needs to earn 100% of that % to break even. Ex: A 50% loss from 200 is 100. Now that 100 you're left with has to double (100% gain) in order to break even. It is difficult to find 100% gains in the marketplace so keep losses small initially. That's...

Interesting theory RedDuke. Karma favors one over another. Would you say the same about Cassanova or Babe Ruth?

Refresh my memory. What clock question?

Take 5K and double it 25 times. You will end up with little over 5.5 billion. Start with 5K and invest all in a company that has a strong chance to DOUBLE in the next 12 months. At end of 12 months, liquidate and invest ALL in next company that has best chance to double in next 12 months...

The title of this thread is the Reverse Trader's Grail. It implies an indicator so consistently backwards, it is useful as a perfect fade. One thing you may not have considered is because a signal is clear to one trader, doesn't mean it will be clear to you. I think its a reverse Grail...

Everyone tries to outguess the Oracle of Omaha. He started with $105,000 (about $600,000 in today's market) buying, selling, trading and doing his thing. He discovered a textile company in the Northeast by the name of Berkshire Hathaway earning strong profits and selling at a great price...

Sounds like this comes from experience, infolode. Relish in your own superiortiy. I hope your trading acumen reflects such.

My past has nothing to do with gambling

Most ETers take themselves and the business of trading a little too seriously. This thread is an attempt to inject some levity to the ramblings and sniping of the majority of threads. Its been my experience that I can usually solve one problem by focusing on another, related one. "Pereferal...

You guys miss the point completely. I am NO LONGER a criminal. What I learned as a petty outlaw greatly applies to the markets. Get off the moral high horse and think it through. Organized crime is like any other business with the added risk of being pursued by the government and/ or being...

To all you money makers and money-fakers. Our profession incurs more stress than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. This is true whether one is profitable or not. So it is time to bring out your inner Al Capone and think long and hard on this one. Question: How Would You Run...
