Yeah. To paraphrase another Ed, Seykota, everyone gets what they deserve out of life. Van Tharp devoted an entire 174-page volume of his classic 5-volume "Peak Performance Course" to the subject.

Trading in Globex currency futures is closed from 5-6 pm ET. The most helpful thing for you to do would be to watch closely this real-time Merc applet (choose your contracts and expiration months) and answer for yourself: http://equivalentsrdc.cme.com:443/index.html Good luck with the...

It should be added that, before Step 4a (but not 4b), the battery needs to be fully charged. For both 4a and 4b, the closer the battery is to its original spec, the more accurate your power consumption estimate will be. If the battery's output capacity has been degraded, say, after hundreds...

Here's how to estimate your laptop's power consumption at any given moment. Step 1. Look up the power ratings of your laptop battery, in Volts (V) and Milliamperes (mAh). You'll usually find them printed on the battery itself, as well as published as part of the specs -- for the laptop (if...

Brandon, you'll find a detailed action plan and other resources here: http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/con_steps.htm It's going to be a hassle and a pain, but you'll manage to get through this and come out ahead in the end. More knowledgeable, proactive, defense-driven and in full control...

Yes, you would certainly think so. However, consider, if you will, that even that little paper of record, the NY Times -- with all its resources, connections and in-house research brainpower -- ended up buying "Trader" outright, on DVD (from me, of all people), for that feature story on PTJ...

Landon Thomas Jr., the NY Times correspondent who wrote that story in last Saturday's paper, managed to track down no one other than yours truly from my old ET posts (offering new sets of the Jack Schwager Trading Course below wholesale on behalf of someone in need, with "Trader" as a free...

Damn, so close to the record (for contemporary art at auction), but no cigar. The day before, for a tad more, $72.8 million, you coulda had "White Center", Rothko's 1950 magnum opus. If that's not depressing enough, consider this: "Seasoned auctiongoers noticed that last night...

You'd be shocked and appalled, too, if the guy who's got your old job is getting paid 20-40 times your paltry comp 20 years ago. :p

It's not how long, it's you have to be dead.

No. (not) nitro :p __________ Better start out at $1.33 per day on $3,500 and gradually increase your leverage. Easy does it.

Well put, cstfx. Let me add this, briefly. Daal, have you ever placed any cash forex trades? More specifically, are you aware of what information a typical retail forex broker/dealer provides to you at year-end? Here's why I ask. Let's accept, for the moment, your claim that Brazil taxes...

You mean, is there another catch? How many catches do you generally like to see in your forex dealer?

"Albert Hsu, 43, will spend at least 30 days in a therapy program in Brewster, N.Y., then must live with his parents in Bayside, N.Y., while the case against him is pending, state Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin ruled." (shudder) That's brutal. He'd better not mess with Judge Dredd.

Two Ex-Brokers Acquitted in `Squawk' Case; One Guilty (Update4) By Karen Freifeld May 10 (Bloomberg) -- Three ex-brokers at Citigroup Inc., Merrill Lynch & Co. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., on trial for selling access to trades over internal ``squawk boxes,'' were acquitted of fraud...

You've got what it takes to go far in this business.

Correct. Relying on that John Hussman's chart and his argument, at the top of this thread, to assess uninvested mutual funds' "cash on the sidelines" is completely misleading. What we really need to do to either prove or disprove the "caught in lie" conclusion would be to compare the ratio...

Wow. You have not heard of Richard Dennis or the Turtles? Where have you been for the last couple of decades? May I suggest: Market Wizards by Jack Schwager, chapter "Richard Dennis: A Legend Retires"; The New Market Wizards by (surprise) Jack Schwager, chapter "The Silence of the...

Good news, if not quite as exciting as Confessions of a Wall Street Shoeshine Boy (try to say that with a straight face) or even the decades-awaited remake of The Wolf of Wall Street.
