I am not familiar with Don Miller or his style of trading. Haven't a clue as to his marketing, system or anything. I am also not sure if this is the right thread to bring up my questions, but having read the posts in this thread, and having always enjoyed reading whatever Cathy has to say (we...

Sounds scary. Who watches those who watch the watchers? Big Brother? Peace, :)RS

Yeah, perfect car for Florida. I have had both a CJ5 and a CJ7, but both when I lived in Colorado. Useless here. But thanks. RS

I happen to like both those cars, but I have trouble with my son't Civic....not big enough inside to accomodate my height. If the seat went back another few inches, it wouldn't be so bad. But I prefer a convertible (I hear that there will soon be a mni convertible, but man, that car is REALLY...

AAA, correct me if I am wrong. But in your opening post, which made some valid arguments, it just seemed to me that the arguments weren't so much against "socialism", although that is the word you used, as they were against Soviet style "communism'. There is, at least to me, a significant...

Tonight I saw the movie "The Italian Job"... Really fun movie. Very entertaining. Not very realistic, but so what? To me, being entertained is what it's about. If movies needed to be "realistic" then the 30 (or whatever it is) James Bond movies would not have all (or mostly) been box office...

It is my sincere belief that video games, having fun, and chasing tail is severely under-rated. Not so sure if the computers are all that important. Peace, :)RS

There was a point in my life that I wrestled with this issue. I thought by being a trader that I was contributing nothing to society. I was not creating anything. Not employing anyone. Not offering a service, etc. My wife was a teacher. I went to work as a prop trader right after she died. My...

Statistics (which traders generally believe in) will show that a college degree has a dollar value if money is how you choose to judge the worth of something. Doctors and dentists (and lawyers, etc.) have to do more than just get a college degree. College graduates just have more options...

Good plan. Just understand that paper trading is not very indicative of real trading. For so many reasons. When you do have the 2k, or whatever you think you can start with, and can afford to lose it and still provide for yourself, that is the time to step up and learn to trade by doing it...

Damn...just typed a long response to this, the spell checker froze, and I lost the whole thing. Anyway, the short version of what I had to say (which was a repetition of what I have said here before) is that I believe you must have a REASON for exiting a winning trade. I know that there is...

That is pretty interesting. I didn't know that there were situations in which anyone would put serious money into the hands of inexperienced traders. Goes to show what can be expected. When I worked for Schonfeld, he said he expected new traders to average losing $40k before they had a...

Thanks Hap, I am flattered:) The truth is, like most people who trade, I got to learn mostly from others. By being around and observing and asking questions. I don't think that it is easy (or even possible) to learn to trade without help. Books can be useful, but they never really did much...

I have been using Reuters for a very long time. I think their alerts work the way you describe. I just am not familiar with how to set them up. When you work for a prop firm, you use the equipment you get. In this case, no sound cards, no speakers. The alerts also flash, change color, and...

I never knew a a blind trader. But when I was a retail broker in the late 80's, I worked with a blind lady that was a broker. Even then, there was software that read whatever came on our quote system (Quotron). Not just quotes, but all the research, news, and the system's information pages...

No obsession. I just think you are a fool. You have told me that I eat wrong, yet you know nothing about my diet at all. Now you tell me that I am in a "dry spell" and again, you haven't a clue about anything I do. You tell me to kick my dog, and yet again, this comes out of nowhere. As a...

This is pretty easy to imagine. A drooling idiot. Perfect description of yourself. BTW, your love affair with yourself (Longshot/Rock Solid) is getting tiresome!

Mr Market is the "Missing Link" (Should have stayed "missing"). In all seriousness, I really don't get the guy. Posts his winning trades, and holds his losers. Anyone can bat 1000 in realized p&l with that system. And I guess anyone can get "huge" with a diet of meat and cheese. Throw...

What a crock! I have spent time in the chatroom, and overall, I think that Nitro, Loslos, Optional and the rest do NOT kiss each other's asses. Some friendly ball busting, and sharing thoughts. That is what it is supposed to be like. Not about boasting and shouting and getting the kind of...

Why Surf? Thought we had it settled that "older" women can be smokin' hot for a lot of years. Fruity started a thread all about this, and I thought the issue was agreed upon. When AAA and I are on the same page, you KNOW we are clear on the facts:) Carve 'em in stone baby!!! As for...
