Google is like Paris Hilton. Everyone talks about her, yet nobody knows what she really does for a living. And some say that what's hidden beneath the public appearance stinks tremendously.

Demand exceeded supply.

Never forget, it's all about the commissions, guys. I worked in a boiler room for about a month not so long ago, and tried to sell managed futures (stock index futures scalping program). They (i.e., I) also bragged with amazing (backtested, of course) results via the telephone. It is amazing...

Interesting thread. Here are the Dow-charts for that period: http://theoptiontrader.com/HistoryCharts/DJX_DAILY/DAILYHISTORY_DJX1974.htm

I work in the research department of a brokerage company, therefore I would advise everyone to view statements written for the public as the one above from a contrarian point of view, to put it diplomatic :D :D :D Can't remember when was the last time I read such BS as the anal ysis above...

Absolutely! The pareto principle goes against pretty much everything evolution has installed in our genes. Took me ages to incorporate it on a belief level that the winning trades/losing trades ratio is totally unimportant in successful trading. I recently read an interview with a trader, who...

O.K., we've all heard about the supposed statistic, according to which 90-95% of all traders lose money in the markets. I've actually had the opportunity to talk to the CEO of a day trading brokerage here in Europe about that. His customers primarily trade european & US-futures and CFDs &...

Haven't seen him or read about him, but it sounds like he's a guy I could have loadsa fun with on a party :D After the Ipo-burst, there was some lawyer they showed on the tellie. He was the mother of all sleaze bags! He admitted that he worked for Investment banks and boiler rooms, and...

I would even consider trading based upon astrological signals, if I knew it was a fashion and there was a 'generally' accepted set of rules like the dow theory. But I would never ever consider trading on technical indicators alone again :D

One of the head f/x traders from GS once mentioned in an interview that she traded primarily on elliot waves. I forgot her name, but she was of chinese origin (Theresa Lo?)

A stupid person doesn't learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person does learn from his mistakes. A wise person learns from other people's mistakes. - Bismarck It was a major realization for me about 2 years ago when I understood that looking down in a snobbish way upon others or...

This could be AAPL's biggest threat with regards to iTunes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playstation_portable "Sony's software is not the only toolset for getting music or movies onto a PSP. One popular alternative is iPSP, available for Mac OS X and Windows [2]. It can convert movies and...

Next week is gonna be pretty interesting: we've got a close below the SMA50 for the first time in more than 6 months! I wonder how many institutional stock screeners are going to show that fact simultaneously on sunday night/ monday morning :D

Well said! This is my stance as well: I expect a major decline in AAPL, I do not predict it.

Definitely a basic understanding of game theory. When you're dealing with a single chart in a single time frame, technical analysis is enough. But if you're also watching the technical patterns in the time frames above your trading frame, understanding the strategic interdependencies can be...

Here are a few quotes from him from early february of 2000: http://www.cornerstoneri.com/notable/advice.htm

I agree with you completely: "It is easier to spot a bubble in the financial markets, than to predict the date it finally bursts" (Keynes or Greenspan I think)

It was in german magazine "going public", and they referred to a speech he held in London at around that time, I think he held it in the London School of Economics. Don't quite remember his exact position, but they cited him saying that he was scared about the cheerleading that took place...

Muahahahah, I can still remember how I thought "what an incredible moron" when I read about an interview with former US finance minister Robert Rubin in London, where he stated that the markets were tremendously overvalued and a major bear market was about to start off. That was in January 2000...
