    Trader P/L 2008

    any green day is a good day, but this was frustrating b/c i tightened risk for Vol and ..well...ugh. Leave strategy alone. Leave strategy alone. Leave strategy alone. Maybe that will help.

    Expired Licences

    I have been with a Philly Exch firm for a while now(originally fully registered rep 7,63, etc), but when I go to the NASD site my name does not come up in "broker check". So I don't think they come back with other exchanges. Someone did tell me that you can just take a continueing edu test if...

    Closed out the WFMI short today. Pretty good 30% gain. Will look to see if she gives another opportunity. AIG gave some chances but I never re-shorted. Won't be doing too much trading for the remainder of the summer. Trade Well.

    Marketsurfer's bold gold proclamation

    I assure you I wouldn't waste my time w/ photoshop. I don't waste time posting here 10x's a day, with multiple aliases. I prefer to focus my time on my family. "A man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man", Vito Corleone I'm glad you went back and fixed the article.

    Marketsurfer's bold gold proclamation

    This article is a good example of how much bad info is out there on the net. I pointed out one mistake, he went back and fixed it, but missed another. There's no ratio in his ratio spread. He forgot the other leg.

    cramer calls market bottom+ new bull...market tanks

    I'm not sure the bottom is in yet either. My Dad hasn't called and sai, "geez, this market sure looks terrible". That'll be the time to go all in. I know it sounds like I'm making a joke, but it's true . He is the ultimate fade. I may have made a mistake recently and told him about it.

    Trading/Gaming Keyboards

    I don't have any personal experience with this, but I know they were popular with some home traders for a while. They also make a smaller 20key model. http://www.piengineering.com/pigraphics/grxkeys/xp576.jpg

    Brazil: Worlds' Biggest Banana Republic

    I saw "banana republic" in the thread title and thought you had an on-line coupon for discounted khakis. I do however love myself some nice CAO Brazilia Lombadas. Smoke 'em if you gotta 'em.

    Is going after the rebate in ECNs worth it for a directional trader?

    I always try to get the rebate. You have a set exit target, so add to liquidity. If you shoot a market order to an ECN you'll probably have to pay the take liq fee. Of course you need to have an emergency exit too. So if you dont get target hit..you gotta have a stop at mkt too.

    Stockbroker beats down Hedge Fund Manager

    Weird, I live several miles from Major's Steakhouse on Rt-25. It's not that great of a place...kind of blue-collar. Guess the boys weren't too big of traders yet. [/B] Major's isn't that great of a place...but it was very close to the office. And at the time it was a place where a lot of...
