Coaches are often heavy on metaphors. Especially someone who worked with Robbins for a while. That doesn't often work for me, I'm too cynical. However, as I said in the chat, I liked her example of the video/arcade game. I started thinking about how if I get 15-20 minutes out of my favorite...

It's often said that trading is 90% emotional. Check out the Chat Log with "The Trader's Coach", Robin Dayne where she answered questions and explained the concepts and techniques she developed to limit the effect emotion can have on your bottom line. André

We're talking diets and proof here. And we've already had this conversation in this thread. You're at least the 3rd person to bring up these issues. Which horse you gonna stake your life on, that's what you must answer. Stake my life on? Umm, hello? You're acting as if anyone who...

I work out, not "real training", I'm sure. Soccer, right now is probably my best exercise. Our games are two 24 minute halves. And we haven't had many subs, so it's alot of running and pretty sustained. Hoops used to be that way for me when I was younger and would play 3-4 hours and stay on...

I don't know about mumblers. But I have noticed an increase of canned messages. Messages left by a machine. They're not bad, they've been recorded as such to make it appear that there's actually a live person leaving a recorded message. There's some pauses, etc. But it's still pretty clear...

For the brokers who allow new positions prior to the archaic settlement allowances, they are obviously taking on this management responsibily, to enhance value and service to their customers. That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that those brokers who are enhancing value to their...

Like anything, it's all about self discipline, right? However, we don't all have that discipline in the same areas of life. But there are tricks to help with one's own foibles. Like maybe not having your P&L on the screen during the day. Or making stops entirely mechanical. It was easier...

All done? Ok, now that the love-in is over, and the objections have been noted... We're back to Atkins. André

TM, because what I have to say directly impacts THIS topic. that's why. we're talking theory here, the science or lack thereof behind atkins. what do you want to do,, share recipes? go right ahead. i wont stop you. Well, yes actually... people have been talking about recipes. However, having...

FPC... Mercury was long the agent used in vaccines to give them a shelf life. Mercury is a poison, for crying out loud. But we weighed the benefits of getting polio versus trace amounts of Mercury. (What we haven't studied much is the build up of toxins in our bodies.) Fluoride, is also...

and the food pyramid is not going out the window... it is being revised as it should be with new forthcoming new data and knowledge but not in direction of cranks like atkins. According to a report I heard on NPR the other day, the scientific community is pretty split on how to change the...

Mr. Mahgee, Bill Bixby, no Lou... please, try to get along.

I enjoyed the chat as well. I liked his point on changing P/L to Ticks. Showing ticks takes the emotion out of the dollar value. I remember one of the guys we interviewed at Innerworth saying that P/L should never be on your screen during the trading day. Look at it only at the end of the...

at night , i play hoops in the florida heat against the young punks and on saturday mornings i play at a local park for 2 hours You any good? I miss playing outdoors. Grew up on the east coast and could find an outdoor game within walking distance from my house on 4-5 different courts...

(This week I heard some background noised about Bush reinstating the draft). I haven't heard that. Yet. I wonder if that came from Bush people or those opposed to his agenda? I remember a rumor about the draft after the Gulf War in 1991, and the first thing GB I parroted was that we have...

I thought his answer to this question was most telling: resinate Doesn't the PDT hurt the NYSE too? Steve Sanders Not if they believe that they get most of their business from the large trading firms and the small investor is just a nuisance. That says volumes to me. André

they should stay out of people's business, period. people should be able to do what they want with their money. i should not be forced to have x% of my account in anything. Well, of course I generally have a problem with "Nanny State" rules and regulations. I'm generally a Libertarian...

Yeah, I could go on and on about the daytrader rule. I talked with Steve after the chat as well, and we talked about it. The day trader rule is widely misunderstood. My gripe is, why wouldn't Mutual Funds count towards an account balance? Mutual funds are made up of equities which would...
