That and...........unnamed sources always add an element of credibility to any article. Jeffff, from Cornell, an Ivy League bastion of higher learning, was the only one cited.

FAILED trader? Probably appropriate. First and foremost, there won't be ANYONE trading for 100 years. Eh......maybe a few after 60 years. Blackstar Funds did a study of the Russell 3000, spanning 1983-2006. Results included 64% under-performing the index over the LIFE of the...

There's quite a few people that make 20% per annum. Compounds quite nicely. Beyond that nice round percentage, as capital (and thus position size) increase, returns don't rise exponentially.........consistently. A rising tide lifts all boats. Drawdowns are a matter of discretion. The...

Clueless? That's the pot calling the kettle black. Why trade a stock controlled by a specialist? Pssst, that would involve any listed issue. The ax is the entity most married to the stock. Perpetually. CEO's come and go. The post for the stock remains unchanged (unless the ax is...

Pre-holiday, end of quarter, over-sold. I didn't mention Greek austerity nor QE-2.

Now, just how are you going to take notes in the margins?

CBOE, biggest den of thieves I can think of. What are they going to do with the "C"?

Billions/ (20 mintues x # of vehicles) x life of bridge in years = ? In turn, minutes can also be translated into liters of fuel.

Big move meaning trend or price persistency? IF so, then why exchange a proven position for fresh risk?

It seems to me what you're suggesting is to scale out. Correct?

Since I have far more losses, scratched with the flick of the wrist, than "wins:, why...........it's easier to remember the wins. Nevertheless, I maintain a copius losses journal for when truly wacked, generally a result of gaps. Paid for those lessons, not going to discard them. As for the...

Reduce over-trading. Not to open another position until ALL open positions are green. Green or out (and replaced).

Banks make a tidy profit paying nothing for demand deposits and next to zero for time deposits and buying 10 to 30 year "risk-free" T-Bonds with the steepest yield curve of all time. Eh, I shouldn't say nothing for demand deposits, there might be a toaster or electric blanket involved.

Tyler Durbin tangled with the wrong person. Rumor has it, it was a bookie from Milwaukee. Soon as the swelling goes down, back on line.

I must be a modern Rip Van WINK-ull Musta missed sumpthin', somewhere. Mayan calendar? Since I rely upon numbers, I would hope it was just a clever way to terminate a blog.

That is true. Well equity traders don't aid in capital formation in the context of benefiting companies. But then, neither does Wall Street beyond IPO's and secondary offerings. We do provide liquidity to other parasites, and a few of us do pay taxes (for the government to piss...

This is a predator/prey arena. The predators, are big, faster, and have deep pockets. Therefore the prey shouldn't anything that moves. From what I read on here, it appears they do. Also addicted to short term gratification. More interested in being "right" than making money.

Succinct would be nice. "Best" is a strong word. Lacks credibility. Q. More importantly, why bring 2 year old shit????? A. Content Altucher looks like somebody I would have dicked around in junior high. In high school he'd been pulling my jersey over my shoulder pads. Daily. Like...

Investor? This is a trading site. Cisco's average daily volume is high. Saturated. It's not going to move much one way other the other. Churn. IF it was a key index component it would be a different story. There's too many other stocks to even consider it. Stick with Analog Devices or...

Nothing like a summer rally to give you a false sense of "security". I would agree Analog Devices is the best of the bunch. However, it's more apt to re-test the breakout in the low 30's than break 40. In between it's worthy of extracting a sliver. Altera isn't too bad either...
