    Any body aware of Ed Seykota's book

    What I've done or haven't done is irrelevant to the ad-hominem attacks directed toward Ed. Very true... and a very good point. Had someone said, "I heard Ed likes to date black women with big breasts" in an attempt to discredit him, they would have been dismissed as narrow-minded insular...

    Any body aware of Ed Seykota's book

    That's just a circular definition... "outside of accepted norms." I'm sure it is not outside of Ed Seykota's accepted norms, nor that of his "tribe" followers. That begs the question... should Ed live by the standards of the person who judged him, or his own standards? As for multiple...

    Any body aware of Ed Seykota's book

    What's your definition of "wild or inappropriate" behavior? Is it anything that doesn't fit within your accepted norms? If you were to find out he enjoys having anal sex with his girlfriend, would you then label that as "wild or inappropriate" based on your own conduct? What does any of...

    Any body aware of Ed Seykota's book

    So, basically... anyone not living the type of lifestyle that YOU approve of is a "loser." May Uncle Sam continue to interfere in how you live your life... serves you right.

    Maxed out credit card.

    Judging from her lack of lucidity and rhetorical use of cliche, I'd have to assume she's unable to satiate her innate desires.

    Data Providers

    I'm not sure I quite understand... why are people paying for live streaming data, when some brokerage houses offer it as part of account holder services? For example, I trade with OptionsXpress... and they offer a live streaming feed which integrates seamlessly with QuoteTracker. Why...

    Another one hangs it up

    Thanks for the award, but I prefer cash. It's a fact of life that many people get married so they no longer have to work, so that their spouse can help with the bills, or so that they can launch their "dream" business (which may require a secondary source of income to pay the bills). If...

    What's the worst drawdown you can handle?

    I will tolerate 50% drawdown on any 20% section of my portfolio. I invest in 20% chunks, using different simultaneous strategies for each, usually. In addition, I maintain a 20% cash reserve above and beyond the portfolio total. If that isn't clear, perhaps this is: Assuming I have $120K...

    Anthony Robbins - Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

    I trained in NLP, around 1986. At the time, the craze was to market via free seminars (nothing-down real estate, how to make a million buying foreclosures, buying probate property with no money down, etc). I attended this NLP seminar determined to make a fool of the instructor and to expose...

    Maxed out credit card.

    Speaking to an imaginary friend, and living your life around "signals" you get from that imaginary friend is mentally sick and abnormal too, but many people consider it the norm (especially on Sundays).

    Another one hangs it up

    Instead of giving up, get married (make sure the wife has a job). That way, her income can pay the bills and you can stay home and trade.
