Aint that the truth!

Lets put this "my life is over at the age of 44" thread back to the #1 spot. Any bets on which "my life is over" thread will be in the #1 spot by next friday? On another note, I just wasted a good hour on elitetrader posting useless crap, mmmmmm,,,,how I like to spend my friday nights.....

Way to go pumpanddumper, I'm in the top 2% which is still like 400k off the lead I'm guessing. So there is no way I'm going to make it. Good luck next week. My strategy is based on looking at commodity based stocks, biotechs, and earning plays. I think I will close out positions next thursday...

I'm so glad someone started a thread like yours, because there aren't 4 other pointless threads titled similiar to yours with no meaning that just popped up in the last week. On a more serious note- I heard that being a pornstar is harder then trading, so you may want to get some practice as...

Reminds me of the story in "Liars poker". I think your idea might work, but things could get heated when people start doubling up and don't know when to quit. If you do it, let us know how it works out. It sounds interesting to me.

On monday the 5th, ER2 was crazy, at 10:02 someone dropped ER2 from 774 to 772 in 20 seconds. I said, "what the f*ck was that,,,, this is crazy!"

Yep, the website is down, I currently have no holdings and zero cash. I was in the top 4% yesterday, which is like $400,000 off the high, looks like I have to make money from my own trading. The only way you can win is by betting on earnings on high beta stocks like the above poster said. They...

I started doing pairs trading last year and I wrote about my strategy on my blog last june. Scroll down and you will see my trading idea. Also there are links to www.market-topology.com. and www.spdrindex.com/correlation. I like subsectors of XLE and XLF for this type of strategy. I don't...

Lets some up what people have said so far: *save money, *bang hoes, *stay single, *buy real estate, *time is more important than money, *get a good job you like, *don't waste time on internet forums, *bang more hoes and don't catch any diseases in the process. *get an education...

ER2 down over 10pts on 2000 cards. Nikkei 225 down 3.3% currently after a big gap down to start the day.

Congrats on your success. Do you follow a particular trading methodology?

I think it may just my imagination and that volatility is so low that I'm not use to it. Maybe its time to buy some VIX options.

Since the release of the new TWS upgrade this week, do the quotes and speed of the last price look like they have slowed down? Either my computer is slower, IB's quotes are slower, or this markets volatility is decreasing to a snail pace. (or maybe all of the above) Anyone notice slower...

I'm in it to win it. :D Last years winner seems to be a pretty good trader. He called a short on ENER feb 8th, its down 14% today. http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/StrategyLab/Rnd15/P2/CNBCChampJournal20070208.aspx

I can't find ER2 internals with Interactive brokers. I don't think they have it. Am I right?(anyone else..)

Isn't your net suppose to be smaller than your gross?:confused: Net=gross - commisions

Time to short?? 1pm EST....

Your right, I tried doing a market order on the simulator on IWM and it sat there for 10sec. The paper trading exchange brokers must all be at lunch. :D Or maybe there helping eCBOT fix there system issues.....

They'll announce it right when all the retail traders have puked their shorts. :D Do you guys really think were going to rally from here at lunch time when there was light volume at the open......

Anyone notice something around 10:30, give or take 15min. Range day with no breakouts the first 30min. Never seen this pattern before..:eek:
