I would like to add: it is not enough to have big swings in your equity of course. You have to adoperate an intelligent program of trading.

Respect your opinion but I think the right things in trading are often those that don't feel so good and are difficult to do. It doesn't mean you should trade in a careless way but paradoxically I think that those who have the big swings in their equity up and down, in the long run play it...

2009 was not a disaster but pretty bad. For 2010 I will be doing the exact same thing what I have been doing the last 11 years. Doing something else would be stupid because doing otherwise would mean I know in which way the market is going to change this year. I don't know. Nobody knows.

Succesfull traders typically do not make "consistent high profit gains" but make huge homeruns once in a while. Trading is not about making a living, but about getting rich!

I don't think you know the language very well and probably not even the country. Otherwise you would not write so much nonsense in such a short post. Of course when some people think Thailand is paradise on earth they can easily get disappointed. Complaining about the country they live in is...

Is what you propose much better than simply buying SRS for 7.25 and then put your stop loss at 6.86? You'll have a risk of 39 cents as well but unlimited profit possibilty. Plus you are more flexible in changing your position along the way. Of course with the Collar you can simply sit a...

Why not buy a short term government bond?

My first losing calenderyear in 11 years unless a miracle happens it the last weeks. In the past 11 years I have had others 12 months losing periods though.

I apologize for the distorted sentences in the above post. But it is still understandable I think.

Because some were not able to stick to the rules. Some were second guessing if I remember well. Or do you mean to say: some failed AFTER the turtle experiment and why was that? Well THAT might have to do with entrepreneurial skills. When you want to attract money for example, a smooth talk...

How should we describe your character? Mean? Offensive? I read your 'Trendfollowing" with with pleasure. "Turtle Trader" less so. Especially the nonsense in chapters 11 and forth about "entrepreneurial skills". But Trendfollowing is a good book to get new traders enthousiastic about...

:D :D

Garner just promotes good books and products as far as I understand. "The Turtle Way" is an outstanding book.

It is only a tax paradise for investors and traders. Trading gains are considered capital gains which are not taxed. You pay 30% on a "fictive" return of 4% on your capital regardless of what your real return or loss was. So you also pay 1.2% on your total equity in a year in which you lose...

You need to be a Dutch citizen, I suppose. I am Dutch by birth, yes.

I'm sorry, I didn't inform myself well enough to answer your questions. Allthough I have been living in Thailand since four years ( on a multiple entry visa) my official residence is still in Holland. For me it is advantageous to keep it that way since Holland has no capital gain taxes. I...

Prostitution is age old and very common in Thailand. Western clients are only a small percentage of the clients in Thailand, less than 10% I read somewhere. All those boys and girls who sell their bodies in the bigger thai cities don't do that because otherwise they would starve. They can...

Here in Chiangmai and I know also in Bangkok, there are quite some places where you have wireless internet, often it's even free. When I'm not at home and travel around the better hotels and resorts mostly have WiFi as well.

Marc Faber lives in Chiangmai as well, as far as I know.

I can agree with some of the above mentioned. Thailand is a wonderful place to live ( I live there myself, in Chiangmai in the North) but Pattaya would be my last choice. To spend a weekend there can be fun sometimes but everywhere else in Thailand you have nicer people, more beautiful scenery...
