    Today Gave Me A Headache

    Whatever you do, the market will from time to time take out your stop on the exact high or low. The real problem for you is if you start thinking that the market is after you. Nevertheless, it is really frustrating to watch that happen.

    Today Gave Me A Headache

    It sounds to me like you do not trust your strategy. Unless you are a big player, the market does not care about your stops. It's just you thinking it does.

    if you passed 30 and still didn't jot trading down, forget it, missed the train

    Very spot on post! I would say that these are the primary reasons why it takes young traders a lot longer to succeed. Older trader is most likely already content with who he is and what he wants in life while a young person has too much to prove and his expectations are too unrealistic. Until...

    Daytrading leads to Inevitable Failure? Is Swing Trading the only Viable Path?

    Btw, nobody on the list is a daytrader. With this post you have answered your own question. You need discipline in any timeframe and even then if you become reckless you can lose your ass. But that's what the trading game is; like it or hate it.

    The joys of socialized medicine:

    Still I hate the government for simply shuting down the idea. I'm sure they could work out some acceptable solution if they gave it at lest some effort.

    The joys of socialized medicine:

    Nice idea but it does not work. Your article exactly illustrates a major problem with private hospitals -> they will only want to do whatever makes them money. Who do you suggest takes care of the rest of the unpopular procedures? Yes, this gentlemen's idea sounds noble until you do the math and...

    Suppose you know you are an idiot, what profession should you choose?

    I agree 100%. The problem is that you may never get rich by pursuing something that you really like. Let's not forget that Van Gogh died dirt poor thinking that he failed miserably in his life. I believe that you need to find the right balance in your life's pursuits to feel happy.

    Suppose you know you are an idiot, what profession should you choose?

    I seriously doubt that you can get rich by working for someone. You can make good money but you won't get rich. Unless of course you're really lucky and join a start up company where the owner is willing to let you on some part of the action.

    Suppose you know you are an idiot, what profession should you choose?

    Clown in a circuss would be a decent gig! :D Seriously, man, you have some self-hate issues. You don't have to be very smart for 90% of jobs out there. In fact someone said that intelligence generally stands in your way in business because you keep second guessing yourself and questioning...

    Typical EliteTrader's users ?

    This board is mostly for traders hence the word "Trader" in its name. :) I guess you'll need to add that category or you should be asking that question on a different forum.

    Are rallies Obama fault? Or just declines in the market?

    There were warnings about this derivative driven crisis coming out already in 2002. Why didn't your republicans do anything about it back then? Let me tell you why because the party is dominated by ignorant conservatives who believe that free markets can take care of themselves. Just as now they...

    Are rallies Obama fault? Or just declines in the market?

    I guess you meant that McCain got his economic experience while he was a prisoner in Vietnam? (Not intending to mock his heroism here). Or while serving in the army all of his life?

    VIDEO - What Happened to Bear Stearns

    The video makes a good case for stock price manipulation but you could make the same case about buyers. If the company was solid the buyers would step in at some point and buy everything offered. Nobody wanted the shares because they were worthless and that's the reality. I don't understand why...

    <B>How to Blow Your Credit Limit -- Without Spending</B> If you haven't had the credit limit cut on your credit card recently, count yourself lucky. Risk-averse card issuers are getting slash happy. And while many cardholders gripe that such cuts slice razor-close to their balance amounts...

    mlm guru doug Allen thread closed. Why?

    This detective work is just way too funny. Did it ever occur to you that maybe he got a plastic surgery to fix that sticking out earlobe? :D

    mlm guru doug Allen thread closed. Why?

    Incredibly, the guy on the right and on the left may not be the same person. Both guys seem to have a different chin. But there's NO question that Doug is David without hair. :)

    struggling trader needs help

    NoDoji, you made a great point here. You have completely turned around the perception of losses as something bad that one subconsciously needs punishment for. Once you do that then several losses in a row should no longer produce such a huge amount of frustration to cause this revenge trading...
