    Full-time trader in UK seeks others to interview for book project

    This is absolutely pathetic. You have no background on ET, and are going to publish "anonymized" interviews of people who "claim" to be traders. Almost all traders on ET who claim success do so on paper; or else confuse backtests or "6 weeks of consecutive profit" with being a fulltime...

    The Narrowing of the US Tax Base....

    Clinton left prior to 9/11. In case you cannot do math, 9/11 dealt a crushing blow to the economy. Neither Clinton nor Bush had much to do with surpluses or deficits. And if Clinton hadn't been a wimp, we might have been able to be more assertive against the Al Qaida types earlier...

    What is an edge?

    all the posts that deal with: "If you have a positive expectancy (ie, you make money) after forward testing with a lot of real trades, then you have an overall edge" are correct. A lot of the other stuff s guessing and conjecture. It is the kind of thing that would make a gambler winning...

    Fast food places now getting applications from people with bachelors degrees

    friends include certified, long-term general mechanics at Firestone. The shops charge $95 an hour. But the mechanics do NOT keep 50-60% of it. $80-$100K as a matter of course MIGHT apply to a mechanic who is working 60-80 hours a week, or is a partner/owner in the business. But that is...

    24 single looking to go full time into day trading

    Depends on how you write your resume. Maybe this is ONE argument for having your own corporation. Then, you were just an "employee", working for a financial services company. Throw in a decent looking website and an 800/888 number...

    NOT SPAM!! Jobs that make $50-$100 an hour Home Based

    Quote from zook: Lets list them, other than trading. Home based jobs that anyone can start in a short amount of time, that make $50+ an hour. 1) Pressure Washing Sidewalks In many parts of the country, pressure washing is very competitive. So is "retopping" a driveway with the coating.

    Does Kelly method practically work for trading?

    Assuming you mean Kelly ratio [http://www.gummy-stuff.org/kelly-ratio.htm], it is flawed. So is optimal F. There are several position sizing methods that are better. Bob Spear(s?) had one. There is also Fixed Ratio and Fixed Fractional (probably the simplest and best).

    Ten principles for a Black Swan-proof world - Taleb

    Why do people spend hours reviewing Consumer Reports and comparison shopping on an $800 refrigerator... But let others manage their $800,000 retirement and do their taxes for them? The advisors who took a 2 month course, and showed people how much money they would make 40 years from now...
