^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said.

Why ban Port? His posts are always good for a laugh after a tough trading day. On another note, I saw that he now believes the market is going up. I was feeling the same way, but now I have to reexamine everything. If Port and I are on the same side, I should probably flip. Lol...

Thats the greatest! I'm going back home to visit my parents soon. I hope I can make enough my first day or two to cover all of my expenses while I'm gone so to focus on vacation fully. Sadly, even if I do, I'll probably trade the open and the close everyday. On second thought, I don't think it's...

"One sure sign of a Pseudo-expert is writing that is unclear and difficult to follow. Unclear writing comes from unclear thinking. A true expert will be able to explain complicated ideas in ways that are clear and easy to understand." - Curtis Faith, author of Way of the Turtle Jack Hershey...

That's the spirit man! I stressed the fact of being a fighter to the student that I'm mentoring. You have to be a fighter! You've done this before and you can do it again if you can commit to learning new skills. Good luck.

I didn't read your post about whoever gave you whatever brand/type of apparel. For some more expensive items of clothing, there is a clear difference in the quality of the material used, and the way in which the item is cut. The cut definitely makes for a better fit in many cases. I'll wear my...

Nope. A trader that is addicted to trading for the sake of trading is called a soon-to-be former trader. Addicted traders trade for the sake of trading -- not to make money. I'm not afraid to take vacations. I've taken two in the past 2 months with another one coming up this month. Still...

LoL. That's tough.

Sounds somewhat similar to my story. I graduated in the summer of 2006 (august) and got the job in September, passed my series 7, 63, and 55 and started training in December '06. I put up no cash for anything ever. I wasn't hired as a junior trader however and I WAS responsible for quote fees...

I agree wholeheartedly with you Raskolnikov. Except I would say it's more like between 6 months and a year-and-a-half. If you haven't at least begun to approach breakeven in your trading losses (forget the expenses for now) or at least have some idea of what you're doing after 1 year's time...

Your conclusion is probably accurate...in regard to your own personal trading. Trading on the screen is very, very, very, profitable. We've had a few former NYSE Specialists pass through our trading floor after being laid off by Special K. They couldn't make the transition. These guys were great...

I know absolutely nothing fundamentally about the company. But coffee stocks are strong. My team and I recognized GMCR today after watching DDRX rip up and GMCR hadn't moved yet. We should've bought it. The sector is strong. Look at DDRX, CBOU, and GMCR and there are probably more. Manage your...

Good post. That is quite a paradox. It's interesting when you look at traders from a similar point of view. We trade to make money and at the same time we're afraid to take a vacation sometimes because we might miss a big trade -- but being able to miss a big trade is precisely the reason why we...

True. Good lesson for your niece. I can't disagree with you here. I just didn't like the tone of the post that the other guy made -- he had some very valid points once I moved beyond the generalizations. I should only hope that whenever I do have kids that I can raise them well enough that...

They are really dumb? Interesting that you think that people from the ghetto would have money to even purchase internet services. It's pretty dumb that you can't spell hardly properly. They're used to bitching about everything? Which one of the 3 things that you feel like saying to them...

I know plenty of frugal, successful traders. I like to think that I'm one of them...most of the time anyway. The Millionaire Next Door is a great read BTW. I read it in college. I still flip through it every now and again.

Dow 1 million or S&P 50k? Ok. As a trader, the only solution left is to make an absolute killing out of the situation. Make enough money to buy a bunch of farms, hire farmers to run them. Own some gold in the process. Commodities pulled back a little today to take a little breather. He may...

Wow. 5% is pretty flattering.

Done.

I will. I guess with some people there's no reasoning. This guy reminds me of the other guy Port1385 (or whatever his name his). Both useless. TRYKpiker, we're awake living your dreams as traders. Wake Up! BTW I can't see your comments because you're on ignore.
