    do you believe "Scientist" has "over $100k" in his trading account?

    After I posted, I had a strange feeling that I was going to get called on it. You're right mark1. I have to admit that these threads have provided me with lots of free entertainment. Second only to the great Michael Jackson jokes that get posted. My sister is leaving to work in Australia...

    Technical Analysis DOES work.

    Yup. For my purposes, there really aren't any other programs that beat the software that those Worden Brothers have... "better stocks to trade" to me meant better risk reward scenarios. Scans are great. If you go to the following Yahoo group, you will find lots of fantastic information...

    I'm 75% short, $100K

    Dude... You own a farm. That's great! Where? If you have a farm, why would you want to bet it on a short? Even if you win and the Nazz disappears, you are up one more farm. IMHO, if you bet the farm going long, you have an unlimited upside to the number of farms you will be left with...

    Technical Analysis DOES work.

    You have a nice set of lower lows and lower highs that would make it a decent short. You also have a head and shoulders formation along with a 200SMA coming up from below. I don't know how it will react to the 200, but if I had to trade it, I would go short above 41, set a stop at 46 which...

    do you believe "Scientist" has "over $100k" in his trading account?

    Why does it matter to anyone but Scientist, his family and anyone who may be freeloading of his wealth/income how much money he has? In that light, the same thing applies to GG.

    Trading after a job layoff

    I don't consider either the "bible" but they are both very good reads IMHO. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0132157578/qid=1072018932/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-4559855-5015066?v=glance&s=books...

    What is success?

    That's a very cute Hollywood spin on things. I’m not saying that humility and social contribution is the end all that everyone should strive for, but why spend it on stuff just to impress others if you truly have no utility for it. I like to think that I am both spiritual and appreciate...

    What is success?

    I suggest reading "When All You'Ve Ever Wanted Isn't Enough" by Harold Kushner. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743234731/qid=1071812224/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/103-4559855-5015066?v=glance&s=books It helped me think through the answer to the success and happiness questions.

    Trading after a job layoff

    My $.02 (take it for what it's worth even if it's only good for the two sides of a trade on 1 share with IB)... I'm all for following dreams. I wouldn’t be where I am without following mine, but imho you are in for a tough ride. With little money to start and without a solid plan to fall...

    Jokes

    A little kid asks his father, "Daddy, is God a man or a woman?" "Both son. God is both." After awhile the kid comes again and asks, "Daddy, is God black or white?" "Both son, both." "Daddy, does God love children?" "Yes son, he loves all children." The child returns a few minutes...
