I don't have anything really related to the thread here, I just noticed you mentioned Elgindy. Elgindy was my boss at one time, he hired me as a stockbroker back in 1991 at Thomas James Associates. This was before his Anthony Pacific days. Thomas James was a penny stock boiler room and...

Chinese stock ETF's did the same shit back when Shanghai was was moving. I don't trust ETFs, they should not diverge this much even when volatility is high.

When you show up at the grocery store, the cashier doesn't give a shit how many %'s you made, you gotta pay in cash if you want the can of beans. In 05 I used to love to sit around looking at my %'s and how much I beat the best of the best out there with my 140% return. Too bad my 140%...

Back in the 90's during the inane "spread" scandal on Naz stocks, the NASD was secretly recording telephone calls between market makers who were suspected of colluding to keeps the spreads wide. On one recording a market maker was complaining about the proposed decimilization changes saying that...

Imus makes a living by insulting, Sharpton makes a living by being insulted. I wouldn't piss on either one of them if their guts were on fire. But Imus on the ground grovelling for Sharpton brings a smile to my face. Back when Clinton was in office, Imus was attending a roast where the...

A little more historical trivia - The very first time I see internet trading mentioned for Scottsdale is on my April 1997 statement in a message that says, "SCOTTSDALE NOW OFFERS EVEN MORE SAVINGS ON INTERNET AND TOUCH TONE TRADING ASK YOUR BROKER FOR DETAILS!" I don't remember when I placed...

I wonder if this pre-internet brochure is a collectors item now? :D

That amount of money is BULLSHIT! They should take that money and give it to unwed mothers who are addicted to crystallized methamphetamine! What about people who can't hold down jobs because they didn't get some fancy high school diploma? They should be allowed to have some of that money too...

How I Made $2M in the Stock Market by Nicolas Darvas, definitely. Ironically, you can not emulate Darvas today because newspapers don't print complete stock tables anymore. Even the WSJ only has 1500 stocks in it's daily tables and they have very little info compared to days of old. IBD...

I'm laughing my ass off at Imus allowing himself to be raked over the coals by Al Sharpton!! Those two deserve each other. This will be better than Trent Lott offering himself up to BET.

I went to high school in Bell County, Kentucky in the 70's and I remember hearing about how Corbin was a "sundown" town, and it is there on the list. I don't really know how true it is, but I guess where there's smoke there's fire.

There was a book written during that time period referred to as The Macabees, of course never canonized. It was about a group of Jews who tried to throw the Romans out but failed and commited mass suicide. Even though it isn't canonized I know of at least one church, a Baptist church in the...

Traders with gerat methods and no money to trade them are a dime a dozen. I had gerat methods the first couple of times I blew my account out too.

JESUS H CHRIST!!! How the frick can somebody put together tax software that DOESN'T calculate wash sales!! That's absurd!!! The free version of GainsKeeper that I get on my broker's website calculates wash sales, but TurboTax doesn't?

WTF are you talking about - "TurboTax doesn't calculate wash sales"??? Are you serious???
