    Post photos of prop trading...

    My modest office. One flat panel with one AIQ realtimealert charts app (daily time frame) and execution software only. Nothing more. I`m not that messy...the pillow is for when my Schnauzer wants to hang out. :D http://tinypic.com/k20mli.jpg

    OSTK ceo

    Still seems to me that if they were so many naked shorts out there a more savvy player could come in and squeeze the crap out of them. If I were some monster opportunistic style HF that would be my play. Can it possibly be that OSTK has just been a POS from Dec 04-now???

    Doyle caught bluffing?

    Like Livermore said "stick to what you know". I hope Doyle`s attorneys advised him on the possible consequences of stock manipulation schemes.

    Perfect triangle breakouts

    I disagree...my broker allows these crazy new order types called "Stops". You can place an order to Buy/Sell or Short when a price level gets breached. If our chart reading friend had bracketed his triangle with Buy or Short stops he would have gotten some off no problems. :D sorry...
