    movies on trading

    I had a different opinion about the movie, which is one of my fav trading movies. I don't think Nick had a "callous disregard" for OPM. The movie provides a great lesson in trading. He started out with an error that instead of quickly cutting the loss, he tries to average down over and over...

    Cash for clunkers will get many people even more indebted

    I had a 1991 Cherokee. Same thing, only ever needed a water pump. The thing was a beast in the snow. Would love when I lived downtown. After a big snow dump..the plows would come..put snow up to the window. I would just kick enough snow away to open the door. Back up a foot, turn wheel, go...

    Cash for clunkers will get many people even more indebted

    I don't agree with the program but my wife has been on me about getting rid of my old Jeep. I drive cars until they're unsafe and this one was getting close. The cash for clunkers helped me, but I would have made the purchase soon anyway.Traded in my Jeep Cherokee for this (oldest son loves it)

    Smoking and Trading

    I haven't smoked a cigarette in 3 years. No magic to quitting. I just said, "i'm done with this" However, after a good day I like to sit on the patio and smoke a nice Oliva Series V or Don Pepin Cuban Classic. And Thursdays is poker night at the cigar lounge. I probably smoke 2-4 cigars...

    Best City For Traders

    SMB Capital $5k Training?

    I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you here. I did visit also. And I actually sat next to Steve and if you think he is ''one of the best there is'' well...look maybe I caught him on a bad day. Nobody should be judged as a trader based on an hour or two. I liked Mike and Steve. But it was...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    VERY nice. The only thing is the TV-desk placement is not the way I'd want it. I really like this set-up and will be using it as a guide for my next office revamp.

    Wilbur Ross Defies Bruce Rose in Battle Over Housing Villains

    I disagree. Wilbur is still one of the smartest guys on the street...but even I was surprised by the American Home Mortgage deal as well as the AGO deal. Still the King of BK and someone I always respect.

    How can cramer go on with his show ?

    I pray he never goes away. More sheeple that follow Cramer, the more fade opportunities. Remember, you need dumb money in the market.

    What does a $trn look like

    Another way to look at a trillion dollars. We are in the calender year 2009..if you spent $1 million dollars per day for 2009 years you still would not have spent 1 trillion dollars.
