    Trading is hard, very hard, damn hard

    Ted Williams said the hardest thing in all of sports was to hit a baseball. I think there is some truth in that, but since Williams was nearly unparalleled as a hitter, the statement was also self-serving. I played D1 baseball and would have loved to have been a professional, but I...

    What if the US is unable to sell treasuries?

    I have been making money in this market more long than short. But the market is NOTHING more than a PARKING LOT for BIG money. Big money thinks stocks is a better lighted and more secure parking lot than treasuries or real estate. AT SOME POINT, the reality that this economy is...

    A move from XP to Windows 7, not so easy.

    My rig is five years plus. It came with Windows XP. It was very EASY to resist upgrading to Vista. I believe my resistance to Vista saved me a lot of frustration. But I am more than willing to go to Windows 7 at some point, feeling that I dodged a bullet by skipping Vista. But one, my rig...

    What is an edge? It is STATISTICAL evidence that serves as VALIDATION or CONFIRMATION to REPEAT what is basically the SAME trade AGAIN and AGAIN. You ask politely do I have an edge? As no one less than Dick Martin said many times, you bet your sweet BIPPY I do.

    POLL: Did your trading improve from shortening your time frame or from lengthening it

    Excellent question, although I will not answer it as it was posed. Shortening the time frame was a way of managing risk. Managing risk has been a very important factor in trying to trade the volatility that we have seen in the last year or more. I am not sure my performance as measured in...

    How many people here actually make a living?

    It depends on what you mean by the word "living". I am still net negative which means I give Barry and his Gubmint more than they give me. And that my friends puts me in more of a minority than the countless who claim minority simply by their color of their skin.
