Ok here's a sample. I shorted ERTS near the close today on the buyout rumors hype as I think the buyout rumors are over-done and don't make sense. A Fast Money contributor goosed the stock in the final hour on CNBC by saying he thinks ERTS is going up on a MSFT take-out rumor. Also there...

Another good day. +5727. +2.9% MTD/YTD. Read my twitter id: mreb if you want to see what I do intra-day.

Had a good day today. Up 1.87% or $12,170. Was able to make money both long and short.

+$12,170

You guys sure are demanding. Attached is my account balance screenshot to prove my day one return of $813. Subtract it with the screenshot I posted in the beginning of the thread where I started with $650,000. Frankly $813 is a tiny move, I expect my daily volatility to be $6000-12000 over...

Take some time off man. At least 2 weeks. Go to Aruba and Bahamas etc. to recharge. Get your mind off the market and "off the grid". It works.

I just started trading full-time a few months ago. I get VERY VERY mentally tired trading all day. After I had a nice run, I actually took the last 20 days off in December to re-charge. My first day back trading was today. And my brain is tired after it. LOL.

I will. Check out my thread in the journals.

That ignore function is pretty awesome. I just tried it myself. Poof! He's gone forever. Whee!!!

Guys it was ONE day. Give me some more time before you jump all over me for being clueless, un-insightful, or boring. :)

How did the greatest market timer of all-time do in 2008? LOL. Please post your % performance AND size of account. Not interested in people that are up 50% on $1000.

Moreover he had his previous years' performance up on his free website for MOST of 2008 trying to get new subscribers, I'm sure of it because I remember seeing it just a few weeks ago.

1.5% of P&L to my whole portfolio. I frankly don't have a typical time frame. My market scalps can be anywhere from 10 seconds to over a day. My equity positions are usually held longer as they are based on fundamental analysis. I guess I would say I'm primarily an intra-day scalper...

I actually subscribed couple years ago and didn't renew because I didn't find it helpful at all. I will admit I was attracted to him BECAUSE of his performance track record. I'm just curious how he did in 2008. Many of the best managers in the world from Buffett, to hedge funds, etc...

I generally don't go beyond 100% net long or 100% net short on market trades. Also for market trades, I usually have a hard stop at 1.5% loss. For stocks, I have 2 typical position sizes 8.33% and 25%. The other thing is I prefer liquid, liquid, liquid securities. I like to get out...

He DEFINITELY used his trading performance to get people to subscribe, until now that is. He had a page that showed every trade and every year positive % P&L performance. He also used it to get a puff piece interview write-up in Barrons. I think it's pretty small of him not to publish his...

Here's some notes I wrote few months ago, which I think you guys might enjoy: Lessons from Paul Tudor Jones by Mr. EB -Never play macho man with the market. Never over-trade relative to the equity in your account -his first mentor has “steel hard emotional control” -always liquidate...

I'm curious, does anyone know how Kirk from The Kirk Report did in 2008? I'm assuming not so well since he took down the performance page on this website, also 2008 was bad year to buy for oversold bounces, which he did well for the previous 5 years.

I don't need to use massive 50X leverage. I've found that keeping things under Reg T let's me ride out volatility better and not get emotional and panic exit at the wrong times. Plus the liquidity on SP500 ETFs is very very good even after hours. SP500 Emini futures seems to have 5x bigger...
