ChartingMarkets I don't call you 'slave' anything .. 'slave' is your term, remember. I have no idea why you keep wanting to make a comparison with an employed person. Early days for me, I ran and rebuilt a futures commission house for a bank .. classy corporate winner but still employed...

ChartingMarkets, its very much an emotional 'put down' to call an employed person a 'wage slave'. Hell, I'm a 'breath slave' because I have to breathe all the time and every day. But yes I take your general point. Trading for the trader is better than being employed. But the kick is here...

Perhaps, however after you get there {large fortune} would it be wrong to reduce your trade size and trade for the love of it? ElectricSavant No, it would not be wrong. But good point ElectricSavant. Hell, when you've made your large fortune from trading but just love trading then of...

What a good trader earns .. sorry, this is where the perception is counter-productive. Capital + net gains = larger capital + larger net gains = compound multiplying capital = large fortune. Now you are there.. you've won. Capital and gains less big/smaller 'earnings' for living expenses =...

As it happens I think on the evidence a KGB hit is still the front runner. Even today it remains neglected as the option to study. However, Trader5287, without doubt you provide a very very sensible post. What a change from the usual cartloads and cartloads of looney tunes on who killed...

I have to say that I wouldn't say 90% of my calls are correct for 2 reasons: it would be taken as bragging and it would anger a lot of traders on ET. But it all depends on your approach. I decided that I wanted to master the Dow and I wanted a very reliable system. I then decided I didn't...

Well, Dgabriel, what about Hinckley and the KGB since you keep mentioning it? Ah, no, it was your sophistry I exposed .. but don't take umbrage old son. It was only the likeliest suggestion which I proposed .. with the clear evidence of the Russian connections of Oswald and Ruby. By...

To clarify, I don't have any objection to newbies asking questions on existing threads. Alternatively, as said above, newbies can do a search on ET for the answers they seek.

Dgabriel, of course I don't know for certain. So you are saying it cannot be the primary super-nuclear Cold War enemy of the time and that it was not therefore the KGB. My grandmothers who were both dead at the time of the Kennedy assassination are equally plausible suspects, right? Sweet.

Newbies ask questions all the time on all threads. And they get a lot of help from established ET members. What do you want? Answers from other newbies who don't yet know sh*t from sh*t? Already newbies galore comment to each other on existing threads.

Lobster, I agree that the KGB were not morons. But their ruthlessness had no limits; they did kill national leaders .. Nagy of Hungary for example. They could also reason that you like most others would not believe they did it. They are the likeliest candidate and the links of Oswald and Ruby...

Dgabriel, you say it was not the Soviet KGB. I suggested it was. You're wrong; fact is you don't know. Kruschev was ousted well after Kennedy's assassination .. there were links to Russia with both Oswald and Ruby. Its an answer no one wants; you prove that much.

Likeliest but overlooked answer: the Soviet KGB had Kennedy killed for making monkeys out of the Soviets when they were made to back down over their Cuba nuclear missiles bullsh*t. Remember the assassinated suspect killer had been to Russia. Am I right or am I right?

I am very grateful for all the replies .. really helps when your service is totally cut off for over an hour. Happily it has now come back online.

Thats what I am getting .. an 'Under Construction' page. This even prevents use of their online live Help facility. E-mails they only answer after 2 or 3 days or not at all. Maddening. Any more news?

Is Quote.com down? Can't get into Dow, YM or anything else. Quote.com is not even giving an opening page? Is anyone else having a problem with them right now? Does anyone know the situation?

My speciality is the YM. Broadly, does the YM, NQ and ES continuously mirror each other? Presumably they could not do otherwise? Who knows the comparatives on this?

"There is absolutely NO substitute for understanding." (Specul8r) Amen. Emotional f**ked-upness is a measurement: the greater it is the greater is the extent to which you do not know and do not understand the market in which you have chosen to trade. Your psychology is a by-product ...

Not if you spend the 300% you make each month .. now how simple is that?

"Every year is different. You can't compare 98 and 99 with 2002 and 2003. Lets take the past 6 years. Total compensation (all 6) for all the traders I know, ranged from -2mil to + 75mil. Anything is possible when you trade." (Spyderman). I go with this. Most people on ET and most people...
