    Why is trading so difficult? Oh, so difficult indeed! But it can be done and it will be worth it! You R da GURU, NoDuhgee. Pay no mind to comments from the peanut gallery. The hapless fishes need you to keep spreading the gospel. While we're on the subject of difficult things, let me ask, Why...

    Tax Benefits of Starting a LLC or Corp for Retail Trader

    What a surprise, you ask a person who makes a living off fees for compliance and he advises you to do things that increase compliance costs. Walk into a barbershop, you're gonna be told you need a haircut. You're not the first individual to contemplate offsetting high wages with losses...

    Chess

    Let's not forget that Carlsen almost didn't make it to the championship match. He should be thanking Chucky for not only not packing it in against Kramnik the final round but fighting hard to beat him, which allowed Carlsen to move on. Moreover, this championship match was practically over...

    Finding Work after Quitting Daytrading

    The way it usually works is like this: the bigger the tax bill, the bigger the income at stake. When you get assigned both a collector and a field agent to your case, you will know that you have arrived.

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    Nope, nothing revelatory. I picked up chess again after 25 years away from the game and played online at a few sites. My blitz rating got above 2300 on Chess.com and I scalped a GM and a few IMs along the way. Too much cheating going on, though. In the fall I played in a live tournament at a...

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    Before you get carried away with dreams of saving the world, why not make yourself a couple of bucks first. Once you've done that, you might have a different perspective on how much success is attributable to the man and how much to a particular method.

    If you could go back in time to when you were a new trader

    A clear mind and excellent physical health: maintain and guard these closely. That would be my advice, especially the mind. Most people forgo the opportunity to learn without realizing it. It is easy to spot the losers here by their sacred cows. The psychopaths are the ones who encourage them...

    Reminiscences .. New Edition with PTJ

    It's really not that hard, fishcake. The STORY is the same regardless. Moreover, the book has been in the public domain for awhile now. PG has it available with the cover for free. Take the cost of the ebook, go onto ebay and buy a used ebook reader for that price and, voila, you're good to go...

    Yet another Jack Hershey Trading Method

    Psst, let me clue you in on something. It's all noise here. This is not to say that all noise is the same. There was a time here when some noise was from people doing work, but that was long ago. The fresh paint and new logo can't change the fact that it was years ago when this place jumped the...

    Black Monday - December 31, 2012

    There is no urgency for these sociopaths to act until a 500 point drop in the INDU. 2008 showed that they are reactive to market crashes.

    You are a funny dude, Surfy. I do enjoy the banter most of the time. Alas, all things must pass, so I'll leave this place to real traders like yourself. I am done with message boards until 2014. I like to give up a habit every year to shake things up a bit. One year it was coffee, another...

    Gunman's neighbor arrested in NY ambush.

    As you say, the Columbine kids got their weapons from "straw purchases" but you didn't see their parents arrested or prosecuted because of them. In this country, what constitutes a crime is a matter of definition. There is also selective prosecution. The dumb gal bought guns that ended up in...

    Gunman's neighbor arrested in NY ambush.

    Yup, I did. I don't know the state and federal laws on gun transfers between private parties. There may not be a requirement that a private seller do a background check on the buyer before selling. Thus, a transfer to a felon after legal purchase by the seller may not be prima facie evidence of...
