Because shorting individual stocks is so much easier than going long in a bull right? Don't get me wrong, remember, I'm that guy that who doesn't care about the long-term market outlook. Well, I didn't mean I don't care, I just don't try to predict moves. Not dogging you here, but after...

One sided arguments are fun though... I really hate making short posts, but you pretty much covered the bases I would have, except... My grandfather told me this, "Never listen to Doomsday or Apocalypse advocates. If they're right, and so far they're 0-for-a-Trillion, we're all fucked...

Yes, 4%+ in two days. I'm not saying I average 2% per day, I don't, but my Win:Loss ratio at the end of the week was ridiculous. Shorts across the board, and it was like 9:1. Yes, but I don't mind if stocks are going down, as long as there is a singular direction of momentum. In this instance...

Well said.

I can say this: 1) While you were 100% cash the last 2 days, I made 5 figures. Shorting. 2) You broke even, then quit for the rest of the day. Now it seems you're pissed off at the market. Is that a good example of the basic trading rule, "avoid letting your emotions control your...

I don't predict the market. I follow it around with a little pooper scooper, collecting all the stinky shit that it leaves behind. Today was a perfect setup for me, because a) I change my strategy to adjust to what the current market is doing, and b) because I follow the trend...

Can anyone find anything of value in here? I couldn't either, but I did find out he drives drunk and likes men.

FastFred has made all of his posts in just two days. Today and 4/26. Wow. It amazes me that people think you have more credibility just because you have 100's of post in just 2-3 months. Most of the time when I see someone with 5 times the number of posts as me, in half the time, I just make the...

Not only appreciation, you forgot about people earning 6+ figures each year. Paying cash for an upscale house could pay off big later down the road. No interest to be paid out if there's no mortgage. Figure an avg year sees 4% - 10% in appreciation, even in down housing markets homes...

WmWaster, Do you consider yourself a guru or what? You obviously consider yourself to be an expert. Yet you can't, or at least choose not to, elaborate on how Sim traders should go about overcoming the inefficiencies of the market in their paper trading plans. You know what I'm talking about...

If we as Americans take a few steps towards a real solution (kicking out jews won't fix any problems, other than the rest of the free world nuking the shit out of us for turning into the new Third Reich. so shut the *F-Bomb* Up!) then illegal immigrants would either become legal migrant workers...

I have never left my state of calm. I'm a practitioner of laughing meditation. I like to incorporate humor into my posts. Sometimes it's a superior path to getting the attention of others. Just because I said... ...Doesn't mean I'm now flip-flopping and siding with you or anyone else. I...

I may officially retract some of my previous statements concerning you WmWaster, but only if you clarify how you see yourself fitting into the above quote. Who are you on this list? I myself would have to claim Intermediate for the channeling of my psychological emotions. As well as both...

I know several LEGAL immigrants who, because they speak broken english, work for about $4 - $5 per hour. Though I should say that they're all related, and they perform contracted labor on a per job basis, which often results in sub-$5 per hour pay. To further elaborate on immigrant workers, I...

Let's not all be racists here. I have no problem at all with Legal immigrants. I have no problem with immigrant workers either, so long as they: are payed minimum wage or higher, pay all state and federal taxes, pay an additional tax for being allowed to take a job from an american citizen, and...

I'm glad you clarified exactly what I have been saying, you know... using exact quotes and all... New Traders: Paper trading is not evil. It CAN, however, be detrimental if it is use in the wrong ways. Learning how the market functions is the wrong way. Learning how order routing takes place...

And how long have you been successfully trading real, Live money? What was that? Still no answer? Go away. You are revealing your IQ to all of ET. By the way, you know EQ (or Educational Quotient) is typically used to grade an educational system's efficiency, and not the IQ...

Spydertrader- I see where you're coming from with this. I have said previously that paper trading isn't a complete waste of time. It depends on how it is being used. Someone with trading experience who is using it to form a new strategy, anyone testing automated order executions, anyone...

WmWaster STRIKE THREE!!! You're Out! Still no one that will even make an attempt to call out my a) through p) list of differences? Nope. WmWaster = career paper trader. How much experience do you have trading Live? Apparently not much. You said, and I... Are you illiterate? You sound...
