Back in 1990 the media company MCA was bought out by the Japanese. I was working as a broker in a boiler room back then and while I was talking with someone on the phone he asked me what was going on with MCA. I said, "The Nips are buying it!" He got all offended and hung up on me.

Fuck. I'm a sociopath.

I'll change the topic from "free" speech to "complete" speech for a moment. Notice that no one mentions what that flier says. Speech that incites violence is NOT protected by our constitution, it never has. That story deliberately omits the text because the flier that girl distributed is not...

I like Cramer. He has youthful enthusiasm and loves what he does. He literally went from homeless to running a hedge fund, the American dream personified. Anybody who achieves a significant level of success is going to be hated, especially by those who have not achieved success. Cramer not...

I just remembered a story from back in 96. It was back when the Motley Fools were reccomneding Iomega stock, back then it was a Naz stock ticker IOMG. The stock started tanking right after they reccomended buying and the activity on their AOL message board got so much that they had to open two...

I wish I had recorded the television commercials back during those days to. Remember Stuart the Ameritrade Guy? I did keep a bunch of the day trading books that came out back then. There was one called "Dumb Money" that was so bad I threw it away. I wish I had kept it. A person I knew...

Oh yeah, back before decimalization it was harder to scalp stocks. I could only move in 1/16ths so after the spread narrowed on a stock, I would give up trying to put in the best bid or offer in order to catch the next trade. Now you can do it ad nauseum until you bring it down to a penny.

I don't have anything to post about making big dollars, but I did daytrade OEX options back then and they were a lot more liquid and had much tighter spreads. I quit daytrading after my broker clamped down on the PDT rule, so I never really looked at OEX options again. But recently I brought up...

There's a firm in San Diego called Tuco that runs help wanted ads on Craig's list for the job of trader. They usually get deleted pretty fast though.

That 1964 speech by Reagan made while stumping for Goldwater was a good one. But Reagan was a politician like all, well, politicians. Just as Socialists are full of shit in telling us what is good for us, Reagan was full of shit as well. He blew the biggest hole in the federal budget that we had...

The broker at a discount broker is more of a customer service agent answering stupid questions from dumb asses who shouldn't even have a brokerage account to begin with.

I have good news for all of you proclaiming the end of the USA - I just dialed 911 and they are coming to arrest the person holding a gun to your head and forcing you to stay here. You will soon be free to go to Canada. Or Norway. Or wherever the hell you think is better. Here's some...

I get a feeling that most of you "moral majority" guys are just like the reverend Ted Haggard - wailing how gays have declared war and are ruining the country on one hand - taking a hard one up the butt on the other. What other reason could you have for constant wailing against gays? Not a...

I maintain a library of dozens of books about trading, some good and some not so good, but I keep almost all of them and re-read them from time to time. One book I did NOT keep was Niederhoffer's. It went in the trash after the first read. One thing I noticed about VN that I no one else mentions...
