    Anyone else workout in here?

    When I first saw this thread, I was going to chime in with the usual "throw the weights around 3 times a week and eat right" routine. My cardio consists of horizontal pelvis thrusts...sometimes vertical as well. This usually goes on for upwards of 5 minutes. Then its off to the showers. :D...

    ES Option Expiry

    One question regarding expiry - I've read (somewhere here on ET) that you have to close the option so that it does not roll into the following month, but I cannot find any literature to corroborate it. For example, say you are short Feb call (underlying is a March futures contract). If Feb...

    how long did you take to have a profitable year?

    Exactly!! The first 2 years I started were profitable. I started out as more of a fundamentalist. First year was mildly profitable. Then I started looking at the charts and realized that I was missing a vital piece of information. Started taking into account technical analysis and started...

    how long did you take to have a profitable year?

    I'd think it's safe to say that the majority of those 1 year winners are full of shit or have started 6 months ago and think this endless bull run will last the next 40 years. Trading is full of hard knocks and experience comes from getting your ass handed to you. Anybody that has been...

    Also, that's with no mentor...others may have a better learning curve with 'em.

    how long did you take to have a profitable year?

    It wasn't so much becoming profitable, but rather finding a trading strategy that I felt comfortable with. Took about 3-4 years off and on. Some profitable, some not. Most of my major losses came from day-trading a year or so ago. I'm not cut out for that shit.

    KB Homes Sees 48% Cancellation Rate

    Wouldn't you cancel a contract on a $300K condo if your next door neighbor signed his for $250K or less?? Most builders will allow this out of good faith and to avoid possible legal issues. The real question is whether the 48% cancelled and resigned at a lower sales price or whether they...

    Bad dreams/nightmares

    I've experienced it 2 or 3 times in my life when I was younger. And yes...it would freak you out. I've always explained it as the possibility that the Devil snuck into my room and was lying next to me. I never knew what it was called up until now. A quick Wikipedia search and BAM!! A listing...

    Bad dreams/nightmares

    IMO, there is no need to seek professional help unless the underlying problem is some sort of severe emotional distress. For example, the nightmares you experienced during childhood likely reflect the struggle to learn to deal with normal childhood fears and problems. Sometimes, these dreams are...

    Best way to destroy a hard drive?

    On a lighter note, you can also label it "Compilation of Andy Rooney's Random Thoughts" and nobody will ever go near it. I doubt anybody will ever take it this far though...

    Best way to destroy a hard drive?

    You can trigger a similar device automatically based on a pre-occuring event. Much the same way that you would set an alarm, but rather than set off a siren, it will erase your hard drive. Not sure if something like this exists, but at least you won't blow up your house.

    Best way to destroy a hard drive?

    Only if they are home-made and you are the leading actor and your two 23 year old maids are putting in some serious OT.

    Best way to destroy a hard drive?

    There was a Law & Order episode where they seized a computer from some apartment. The dude had a couple of huge magnets on each side of the door frame. Supposedly, the magnets were strong enough to erase the hard drives when the cops walked out with the computer. Not sure if that equates to a...
