    Any Trader Worth Their Salt Will Buy Mega Millions Ticket

    So is it just $1 for the big jackpot? WTF is that megaplier number?

    Cold Traders

    I think I better option is just to look at his entry positions and see if you see warning flags. Depends on the frequency of his trading, obviously. That may or not be possible.

    Silver $40+ by mid april

    Sounds absurd, IMO. The margin on gold & silver make it prohibitive for most retail investors, IMO, and they're already manipulating the hell out of the market. Given the rumored short positions JPM holds I'm not sure why they'd allow a run up, which could potentially get out of control...

    is it even possible to start a hedge fund these days?

    Agree. It will be impossible for your average joe to start up a fund (or at least have success), which is what started happening the last few years, but for the innovative folks who are good at their trade they'll have opportunity to scale operations, IMO. No different than any other industry.

    Silver $40+ by mid april

    You've obviously been around here much longer than I have, and you may have the e-cred to lay out statements like this without justification, but can you enlighten us as to your reasoning? Even on a macro level?

    Cold Traders

    It seems to me it all depends on your buddy. Does he have an actual flawed strategy he employs, or are his issues related to emotions?

    How much did your trading education cost?

    Where'd you learn, Pericles? I'm with the OP - $50k, pretty much just being stupid.

    Help in finding Venture Capital please

    Epic did a solid job, but I'd like to add a few things for others who may be interested in VC. Saw some suggestions here that need correcting: 1) If you ask for an NDA you'll get laughed off the premises. That'll be a huge red flag, and you'll be pitching to a biased group before you even...

    Simplicity in TA

    Are we to assume you do then? Outside of maybe 5-10 people in the world, does anyone on earth know? The best we can all hope to do is keep track of the evidence and be prepared if/when things change. I think Xspurt does a terrific job presenting the evidence.

    Trading Chairs

    Very true. I've seen Aerons on craigslist for $250ish too. That's a steal, IMO.

    Talk me out of a Mac

    Great info guys, thanks. It's def disappointing to hear that about the Power Mac, although I agree the writing is on the wall. That's prob why it's so damn expensive - If they're going to mess with it they want to make a fat profit on it. I have an iMac 24" right now as a home machine...

    Best book on technical analysis for beginners

    So you're not employing any TA when you look at that pretty chart? I know what you're talking about, and I think the OP understands it too, but basic TA is pretty fundamental to what you're doing. Am I wrong?

    Talk me out of a Mac

    Searched the forum and saw a few mismatched threads recommending this and that, but nothing specific towards good/bad of using a Mac (aside from obvious price). I'm thinking hard about a Power Mac 12 core, but the new 27" iMac also has some major power too (at 20% of the price). Does the...

    MAC and multiple TWS

    This is good advice, and I'll take it one step further. If you want to bypass the command terminal altogether then you can take the above command, and paste it into the Automator Command Line tool. It'll give you a desktop icon you can place in your dock or put elsewhere.

    Trading Chairs

    My Herman Miller Embody arrived this week. Umpgraded from the Aeron and this is MUCH better, IMO. Very customizable and a bit more rigid than the Aeron.

    Out of curiosity, how profitable is the "eyeball strategy"?

    Correct. The votes have been tallied and reported, but the switch hasn't been flipped quite yet.
