Hey oldtimer :D, sorry didn't look at the handle .... Saturday and I'm playing a pretty intense Hearts tourney (sad being married with kids :p) If they grabbed some WTI at the right time kudos to them (I think I would have hedged a % at the time too) I looked at putting on a 102/110 bull...

i don't know guys, looks pretty neutral through summer - although a weak USD always helps. I kinda like the SUG call but its had a big pop already (obviously) but I do like the "through the pipeline" plays. Maybe not as exciting as the futures but more stable. I've been holding spectra (SE)...

Succinct and best plain vanilla answer i've seen yet. No need to complicate things, this is Econ 101... glad to see someone just telling it like it is. I've been long gold since the 800's so keep on printing!!

If things keep spiraling out of control, we're going to have to worry more about "animal farm" than 1984... watch out for the revolution!! :p

Lol no worries, my 0.02 though is looking pretty weak for this yr. I'd be looking for big builds through the summer and prices to stay weak at least into next year. We're swimming in it but production should taper off and align with consumption. Chesapeake is hedged pretty heavily until around...

Hey all, I've been trading physical Nat gas for an energy marketer for a few years but due to family reasons, I have relocated from Vancouver to the prairies. I am looking to transition into the ag industry in a similar role - hedging, optimizing inventories, operations. So if anyone is in...

Haha, thx Tom! I can already see the fateful call a few years down the road: "Facebook is Fine!!" :D

Lol, I was on the over-valued bandwagon until Cramer came out saying "sel sell sell"... so I'm sure we'll see it at $200 soon :p Fade him and become rich!

Yeah, the old VIC! Did you have the tape recorder/drive with it? I can remember programming and playing those choose your own adventure text games :cool: Ahhh sweet memories...

Welcome to the bizzaro world - aka this thread... Seen a lot get hijacked but this one is beyond off the rails:confused: and yeah, definitely creepy... along with numerous other adjectives that apply here

The Macbeth quote is only one take on life - I assume you interpret it to mean that life is brief and that our actions are somewhat preordained and therefore meaningless in a sense. But does a life have to be eternal in order to have meaning? Using the physician reference, they may help save...

+1 Equating dying with losing is just bizarre and morbid. I agree 100% with Fireplace that it's what you do with the time you have. "winning" or "losing" is relative - every person has to define that for themselves. Were Mother Theresa, Einstein, Newton etc... "losers" just because they...

That's your opinion. I wasn't referring to dollars, I was referring to the thought process of not attempting something because the probability isn't in your favor. If everyone chose career paths based on percentage of success, where would we be? Where would the inventors and entrepreneurs...

There are plenty of failures in the "hard sciences". Use drug development as an example: "Among the ten largest pharma companies, in the period 1991-2000, here's the breakdown: 38% of the drugs taken in the the clinic dropped out in Phase I (safety / blood levels.) 60% of those...

HAHA! So good! Thumbs up if this thread got anyone else through one really boring day of work :D

I guess great minds do think alike :D could fanews be emg jr?

Lol, chill emg! I'm just having some fun... Actually, all I wanted was to get the classic "They Just Lose" line out of you :p

Are you sure about that? "A recent survey of successful gamblers, including both professional gamblers and amateurs, has proven once and for all that gamblers with formal qualifications in mathematical subjects are the most successful. This is not to say that in order to be successful at...

Thanks, that's really appreciated The Futures acct is my wild card but I do enjoy some active trading and its not a large sum of money - enough to trade comfortably but not enough to hurt me if I blow it (not my plan though) If you don't mind my asking, do you focus solely on equities...

Hey Samus, fireplace, sniper and anyone else out there who would like to chime in, please see my previous post (regarding my trading plan). I'm trying to build a solid basis over time while reminding myself that the profits I'm taking are much easier b/c I don't need them to survive. That...
