    I think the only use for the empty cd case is to get you to look inside the cd player. Maybe?

    Realistic Return %

    Thats quite a journey. I bet many can relate to it. Its amazing how many times success or failure always come down to "not getting in your own way".

    IQ and trading

    The best advice I can give is NOT to have your 13 year old and 10 year old sons standing behind you. it took me about an extra ten minutes because I kept hearing "Dad click on this", "Dad click on that", "Dad, look at the battery again", etc... LOL.

    Futures Trader seeks backing

    I have a freind that took out a $25,000 home equity loan to buy Sleepys stock. Bought it around $8 and a month later it was down by at least half. Never to recover. How bad does that suck? Lost on the trade and you still have to pay off the loan.

    inexpensive, cool trading desks

    I know. 1-3k for a desk where you will be spending so much of your time is too expensive? Maybe we should start a new thread to compare traders desks to their P/L. I wonder what the correlation will be?

    Realistic Return %

    I think all of you are wrong. I saw an infomercial this morning and waxie had some guy on that made $40,000 in one day. His previous best day was $25,000. But then again he said he has only been trading for 18 months and his account is $200,000. That means he made 1/3 of his money on two...

    Best Way to Take Profits?

    Maybe I am confused. If the initial stop was 1.5 pts on 10 contracts and we get out of 5 contracts once the market moved in our direction 3 pts, then if the remaining 5 contracts get stopped out at the initial stop of 1.5 pts, then that leaves us with a 1.5 pt profit. To make the trade...

    Best Way to Take Profits?

    I think the problem is common when someone is trying to learn from a book. Most people read it once and cast judgment. Sometimes you need to read something a few times for it to really sink in. I am working with someone now and reread all his stuff over and over. Its amazing that you can...

    Do you tell people you're a trader?

    Some people get their feelings hurt if they are not accepted by others. To be a really successful trader I know you have to think differently than the rest, that includes not caring what they think about trading because most of them dont have a clue what trading is about anyway. When you...

    Best Way to Take Profits?

    why move it away to breakeven? The only reason would be if the 1.5 pt stop is within random noise. you already took 3pts outs, even if your stop gets hit at 1.5, you still end up with a net 1.5pt profit. Usually I use this technique or a similiar one and then start moving the stops a few...

    NewYork Real Estate - Two 111-storey offices for Manhattan

    I think you guys are missing the big picture. Forget about if anyone will work on the top floors. Forget about what the design looks like. Forget about the people that cried because they were so moved when they say the model of the towers. None of that really means anything. Trump will...

    Buffet and Dollar short

    Is it really betting against your own government? Its not like he is causing it, he is only trying to profit from what is happening just like everyone else. I never heard that you could only go long dollars cause if you go short you are commie. Isn't the dollar going down sometimes a good...
