Living in a small coastal town near the Santa Ynez valley I am blessed with wine that rivals anything I've had in Napa (or France for that matter). This is my favorite CA Pinot and at $28 its a bargain. http://www.rideauvineyard.com/index.php?p=view_product&product_id=1011 We're members...

The swagger stuff is all about confidence. Which is true. Just be careful you don't lose yourself in the process. Contrary to what some "players" will say, sincerity and honesty go a long way. You're going to attract the type of woman who is a reflection of you. If you lie and game em'...

Ok... couple of things. FWIW, I've been married for a while to a great woman, so, while I have been out of the dating scene for a long time,I do get the benefit of talking with my wife's single female friends about their dating experiences. This is what I gather based on my impression of you...

So true... Anytime I start hearing "It's about to crash" or "don't catch a falling knife", the asset in question *in the right area* becomes very attractive to me... Per liar loans and sub-prime; most of the crap has been flushed out. Where I live 30 year mortgages are now less than rent...

Okay, for the sake of gullible readers I want to say something here... So, you're recommending the use of GA? I'm assuming you're talking about Genetic Algo's right? It sounds like you want to add 3 degrees of freedom and then let the optimizer run wild... ok, I think I get the angle here...

LOL ... classic BoWO. Keeptradin', please keep this dialogue with BoWo up. The entertainment value is top notch. FYI, BoWo has me on ignore otherwise I'd reply to his garbage directly. In return for the entertainment, I'll try to add some value to VSS. Since I am fond of something called...

Absolutely amazing! I am fully amazed there are people here who believe in Bowo's bullshit. The guy is the epitome of a hack and yet he posts here like he knows the deal. Let me fill you guys in; the guy cannot make money, he hasn't ever made money, and he'll sell you some pairs trading...

Hi Rol, Just wanted to give you a brief note on risk management because I notice you're 100% exposed and 100% long with what looks to be heavy energy & utility. You've done your homework, but, I remember you did have some solid DD's last year. DD's are part of the biz, we all have them...

By the numbers thrown out here: 3600 inmates * $70,000k/year = $252 million in costs (if I'm reading my calculator correctly). That's not exactly small change... granted; given our federal budget 252mil is a blip, but, its still a whole lot of money wasted.

Good reply and I appreciate your points. Deregulation is not an issue I can argue effectively as my understanding of the details is poor and I do have faith in free markets. However, it still sounds like a conflict between federal and state policies caused this massive fallout and CA took...

What??? He didn't change the subject. ENRON screwed CA pretty bad. All that ENRON fraud and manipulation went out of CA's pocket and into that of TX. Think of all the salaries, the support industries based in TX that directly benefited from ENRON's fraud.... It's a large number that...

Ummm... not true by any stretch. While licensing and data costs might be a few $k per year, the amount saved in commissions + execution via a good prop house will more than offset that.

tim88, Pro or not, it really doesn't matter. I will say that TradeStation provides value for the cost to myself as well as many other traders. Bill has a lot of uninformed opinions that he states as facts. While his knowledge of statistics is quite good, it doesn't mean he is some...

Just when I thought intradaybill had learned something (i.e. hoping he had gained a small amount of humility) I am again proven wrong... Let's get some facts straight about bill, and then I'll provide some facts about myself. 1. Bill is not a professional trader. 2. Bill uses data...

You guys do realize that there are weapons out there which can do orders of magnitude more harm in a much shorter time than any nuke, right? You guys do also realize that we have the capability to recognize the plume from any atmospheric missile and almost immediately (milliseconds) take...

Ok, but stat arb and HFT both require a bit more than an elementary understanding of markets and trading. I would venture a guess that a majority on ET could not implement a decent stat arb. system let alone have the infrastructure in place to trade it...

Yes, I should have of said by preaching abstinence.

Hasn't organized religion done that to itself, via its own actions, over the last thousand years? Gimme a freakin' break with this leftist plan BS. The political right's use of religion is, and always has been a pitiful attempt at moral governance. What gives anyone the right to impose...

d08, Getting Bowo to admit a flaw in his thinking/process is pointless. Imagine hitting your head on a brick wall. Bowo and I had a serious fallout years ago and I shudder to think he's trading OPM. :( I can be a harsh and direct person. He didn't care for my "Bowo, you f--cked up here and...

Which actually is a viable strategy given you wait for some volatility.
