FWIW <p>I saw Moglia's(CEO AMTD) interview on CNBC today. He stated that the problem that his firm encountered was from clients accessing their accounts from public computers.

It is hard to believe that Fox will go ahead with its business channel. The article of which the title of this thread was taken, stated that CNBC on a good day was credited with ratings of 245,000 households. That audience may be desirable to advertisers, but still I am not sure if there are...

It depends if the bad trade was part of a growing pattern. It is like baseball, where a hitter can fail seven out of ten times and still be successful. If he looked particularly bad on one at-bat, yet is still maintaining his average big deal. The same with trading, the market can make anyone...

I am certainly an admirer of Ayn Rand's novels, I am particularly familiar with Atlas Shrugged. I have never had occasion to look into objectivism as a philosophy. From my reading of Atlas Shrugged, I am not sure I take what she was trumpeting as noble as selfishness as much as it was placing...

<p>Be careful with an such an assessment. This may or may not be true, but I would offer the following for consideration. I believe from an earlier post you revealed that you were an only child. Being an only child is something that I know a good deal about and have put a lot of thought to, as I...

<p>Television is a source of tremendous stress in several ways. In order to be healthy and happy, we need stimulation not stress. I listen to classical music from London all day long. I usually leave it on when I am trading. The television is usually on with the sound off. I like to watch sports...

I would make somewhat of a distinction between organized religion and centralized church government. I have found that religion organized and governed on a local level is much more tolerable than bureaucratic forms of church government, although I have seen churches not connected to a...

It would be tedious to go into my experiences with the church. But I will only tell you that the last two churches that I attended, I was very satistfied with. Each church was of a different denomination but both were closed by denominational bureaucrats from above and in each case the church...

Such a phrase will inevitably take one into religion and philosophy. I would say that faith is something that should be reserved for something bigger than ourselves or our fellow man. That point could be argued from one's personal religion. But I will argue it inititally from literature. The...

<p>I have been a Yankee fan most of my life, but I am not in pain. Champions in sports and trading are competitive and hungry no matter how much money they have made. Michael Jordan made a ton of money, yet he was just as hungry after he made the money as he was before. Rodriguez, Giambi...

I have to give the most famous example of the cheap favorite theory. First of all, I suspected that many games in that era were fixed or controlled by officiating and in the case of Guy V. by coaching. I was so cynical that in 1982 I predicted before the tournament ever started that North...

<p>A little over twenty years ago I was a big sports bettor. I was semi-successful, I was very good at the NFL and took those winnings and lost them on college basketball. I used technical analysis and bet the number more than I bet the team. I consistently made money betting against -2 or lower...

I am a daytrader. I put my contrarian mindset in buying gap downs off the open, and looking to buy on the intraday lows which follows my basic strategy of buying into weakness and selling into strength. I will reverse that by selling into strength and covering into weaknesss if that looks to be...

As a diehard Yankee who watched every Yankee game on television this year, I saw it coming. So called talking head experts in the media proclaiming this the best line-up ever are to be taken with as much credence as CNBC talking heads experts interpreting what is going on in the market. Come...

I have a good friend who is a doctor. He would like to do what I do for a living. He is not a specialist and Medicaid, Medicare, malpractice insurance, and HMO's are squeezing him to death. He does some trading in his spare time. He has great rapport with his patients and there are many...

A stocktrader has two options. He can trade the market and he can trade stocks. When I say trade the market, I mean there are some days that the market moves are so strong, that you are really trading the collective market as much as you are trading the individual stock that you happen to be on...

You mention emotion and greed in the post in which you started this thread. Emotion and greed are rooted by someone thinking in terms of money. Since you have identified yourself as a beginning trader, I would offer the following advice. All profitable traders have one thing in common they make...

Quotetracker is amazing. I applied to re-register by email and I got an email from Jerry in less than a half hour, that everything was taken care of.

My educational resume has a quite a few psychology courses on it. So what I am about to say is based on something other than being a smartass. I never embraced Maslow when I encountered him in the textbook. It seems to me that all the self-improvement stuff (which is rooted in Maslow) that has...

<p>I am not trying to be argumentative. What you term stress is something to which I would give another term. The term would be urgency which is the antidote to complacency. I, too, have had the experience of starting the day in the hole, and followed up with a very good series of trades in...
