    Oh Oh, Might have to take a tax hit, got a HUGE profit thoughts?

    It's too bad it doesn't have options because most would collar that profit. And probably make even more money on just selling calls all day long. did you declare yourself a full time trader last year? What did you put down as your 1040 last year for occupation? Not much to get around...

    Weinstein Trading and Fading

    Hi Robert, Long time since I dropped in here. Times like this, I just hit the beach and try to forget everything. It is not easy to trade size, and see your winnings get wiped out in a few short trades. I've been there, and it definitely hurts...especially the ego. But yes, the bright...

    Geitner: Auditing the Fed is a “line that we don’t want to cross”

    LOL. That's because the Feds are completely non compliance and out of control, their books is worst than Enron's. We don't want to cross it because all we're going to find is an empty room with a printing press.

    Banks NOW Getting HAMMERED; WTF Will They Do When M2M Under FASB Is Re-Enacted?

    The only reason why M2M was suspended is because the banking sector would have imploded overnight. Fannie and Freddie will be basically insolvent, and so would most of the bigger banks. That's what happened to Bear. Most of the banks would have imploded just as quickly if M2M wasn't suspended...

    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    Trading would be much easier if you didn't have to wade through a mountain of garbage systems and indicators and gurus on the internet to get to the important knowledge to be successful. For every nugget of trading wisdom that is beneficial, you need to go through piles of junk and discern...

    FASB Looks to Expand Mark-To-Market Rules - To Be Stronly Opposed by Banks

    Which leads me to the next musing... What exactly are accountants doing lately? I mean, with the current Mark-to-Fantasy accounting practices, that's just a nicer way of saying they are legally cooking the books. Is there really a point on having a person adding up fictitious numbers? :p

    FASB Looks to Expand Mark-To-Market Rules - To Be Stronly Opposed by Banks

    Not going to happen. The banks really like the current Mark-to-Fantasy accounting better. The banks are "deeply concerned" because if they mark to market, it will show most of them are insolvent.

    I would like to have Combo #2...oh what thell, Super-size it. So in the normal evolution of a loser newbie to the typical omnipotent know-it-all trading guru on ET, how long did it take you to achieve the this status? And what epiphany moment was that allowed you to make that transition? :D

    iPhone Trading

    I remote connect to my trading station with the Iphone. It is for long term trading though or entering a trade manually, I doubt any analysis can be performed on such a small screen.

    China is ONLY growing by massive lending (90s USA style) and reserve stockpiling?

    If it worked for the US, it's gonna work for China. They are not dumb. On the contrary, they are smart to copy our expansion roadmap of easy credit. We'll start to poop our pants when they stop buying our debt.

    Why Madoff didn't tried a passive strategy, like buy-and-hold, covered-calls, etc?

    Why buy T-bonds and actually placing trades when he could be buying a yacht/jet and sailing/flying to his Chateus around the world? Trading is for suckers. :eek: Madoff is beyond that, he thought he could sustain the Ponzi until he died...then he wouldn't have to worry about it. Too bad that...
