    FACT: You can be a profitable trader with just about any account size.

    Almost anything "can be done". I find this claim extremely impressive, and I would not in anyway try and dispute it or even state strongly that it is "extremely unlikely" much less "impossible". But I will say with great conviction that this kind of streak, and the kind of ROI here can...

    1998 BMW M3 (Bay Area)

    Far as I understand it, the Ferrari's with the F1 shifters are not what we think of as "automatics". They shift through the gears without a torque converter. It is really a manual transmission that can go through the gears automatically. (Which sounds like what an "automatic" transmission does...

    1998 BMW M3 (Bay Area)

    Funny thing is I looked at the corvette coupe when it first came out a few years ago. On that one model, the 6 speed was an extra cost option. On the regular vette's, the automatic is the extra cost option. I guess they know what you want, and make you pay. I mean why would anyone buy the...

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    And you would expect what else here? However, the reason I put this thread in the "Trading" forum section is that it seems to me that TRADERS seem to be exceptionally superstitious. At least more so than the population in general. While the Chit Chat forum serves a legitimate function (a...

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    Was watching Jeopardy once, and the answer to a question was Hendix's "Voodo Chile". Alex Trabek pronounce the answer (which no one knew) as "Voodo CHILE (as in chile peppers). Only mistake I recall him making. Of course there are plenty of questions I DON"T know the anwers to. Peace...

    Networking three PC's to one cable connection + 802.11G

    Yup, I just did this at home (not for trading). Works great. One time cost of about $80 for a Linksys wireless router (got it at Best Buy....they were $129 everywhere else), and another $60 (if I remember...somewhere around there though) for the card for my laptop. My desktop just plugs right...

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    Nope, not at all. Good post. Thanks. Kinda relevant to your post, one time I sat next to Pat Riley at a party. It was a very structured birthday party for my friend at his country club. It was going to be over at midnight sharp. So everyone knew when they were going to leave. At about 11...

    How much do you REALLY make trading?

    True, 15K a week is not uncommon at all. But it is virtually impossible on an account the size this guy is talking about. I have for extended periods far exceeded that myself as a firm trader. But I sure wasn't trading with 100K. That is a joke. Plain and simple. 15k a day is not...

    How much do you REALLY make trading?

    GG, I never thought I would make a post to this thread. But having read your self deprecating posts, and feeling some empathy for your present situation, I sort of feel compelled to at least offer something (of value or not can only be determined by you). You talked about selling your paid-...

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    Does it seem to help your trading? Is it "lucky" for you? Or do you just like the song? Are you a creature of habit and rituals? I was in a room where one of they guys blasted "Good Morning" from Sergeant Peppper just prior to the opening bell for a few months. Then after a big losing day, he...

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    Don Bright (Mar 13, 2003 5:43:18 PM) No, he is my personal assistant....lol This was his answer to my question, which was "are you and Optional777 the same person?" So Optional, you are a mere p.a. to Don? Peace, my brother :)rs7

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    Brother Candle, My bad! I should have been more diligent in my pursuit of knowledge and actually re-read your post rather than depend on my feeble memory, which had once again failed me miserably. (shows what can happen when you post after no sleep at absurd hours of the morning)...

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    Well thanks for clearing that up (to some degree). Now how 'bout addressing the "Sister" and "Sistren":confused: issue?? Peace unto you, my brother Candle, :)rs7

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    What does what stand for? And "washed out singers touring 40 years after"? Like the Rolling Stones? They washed out? They sure sell out. At a couple hundred bucks a ticket. Not bad. Hope I have that kind of staying power when my 40 comes around (not close yet pal). You sound a little...

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    I will start by repeating what I said the first time around. I don't believe in superstition. I think it's bad luck to believe in it. However, I will admit to my little unexplainable peccadilloes. There is, where I work, a particular elevator that if I take it up in the morning, well, I...

    Superstition, Luck and Voodo, the Sequel

    Well, it's been a while since the original thread was shut down due to circumstances beyond our comprehension. It was a fine old thread and enjoyed a long and prosperous existence. But alas, like all things that take on a life of their own, it had to expire like an OTM option. Well perhaps...

    Favorate Movies

    Great point. Some of his movies are true classics. Annie Hall, Love and Death, Bananas are among my personal favorites. He had a few clunkers too. But always something worthwhile in them all. Sleeper too was a classic. As was All You Wanted to Know About Sex (wierd and a bit inconsistant...

    Where the HELL is that fat bastard Cheney??

    Great way to join the fray. Don't like someone's opinion? Put 'em on ignore. Your world must be very interesting. Nolan's Utopia. All people think alike. Those that don't get "eliminated". Conversations must be truly stimulating in a world like that:confused: I hope this Nolan is a...
