Congrats on the 1 year. Really entertaining thread, and here's to another year.

Good trading to you. Forget all the negativity and epeen comparison contest in most of these threads. What happens when the trade goes against you after entry? What is your exit strategy or stoploss levels during a loss? I find out the most about a trader when they talk about their...

Oil drop. Pulling out of Iraq. New energy technology.

You should focus on money management and also risk management. It seems you are placing bets all over the place without much thought to risk vs reward, and bet sizing. Also, you keep mentioning turning on and off the ATS. I really don't think it is an ATS if you have to keep manually...

If you don't mind, can you explain a little about the last part of your previous post about ratio backspread. And are you biased on the outcome of the FDA decision or do you only care about volatilitiy. Also, how do you know about the FDA decision and when they will reply? Anyways, I like how...

Very cool of you to do this. :)

Rennick, Besides Tampa, you are the most entertaining thing that I have read on ET for a long time. Keep it up. Love the calls and the hilarious name callings too. LOL. Love it. I do miss your calls though.

People who walk away may not have assets, but they still have an income. And can walk away to cheaper places to rent. It's a big difference to have to pay 3k to 4k per month on a mortgage than a 1k payment for a rental.

Wasn't going to comment, but hedging works. You just have to know how to use it, and most likely on another instrument. Like options and equities, hedges are put on all the time.

I agree the big boys got a lot of these guys by the balls when they changed the bankruptcy laws a few years back. It's much harder to just walk away nowadays. But that doesn't seem to deter people from trying. :eek:

People who walk away usually have no assets.

AMD CTO resigned. Typically not a good sign about how their technology fares against Intel. Like I said, Intel definitely has the advantage in the technological sense in every market right now.

At least it was entertaining while it lasting. Looks like Doaks is going down...

Not talking about stock price, but Intel has killed AMD in terms of performance on the CPU. Intel is rolling out their Atom micro processor, which is taking the whole UMPC business market share. And that's where a lot of growth will come from in the next year or so. The PC market is...

You are ahead of 90% of the traders out there. So what's the problem again? Scale up?

Seriously, who the hell cares what the reader thinks, are you trying to make money or satisfy the readers? If they don't like a blotter or weekly summary, then screw them...they ain't paying you.

News Trading. LOL. That has gone the way of the dinosaur. Most likely, you will not be filled during news, and they also widen the spreads so much that it's not even profitable.

It can be done if you have a really good edge, solid discipline and balls of steel.

UMPC, that's ultra portable PC's for those who are not up to date, are slated to come into view at end of 08. Lots of brands and new players coming with their pocketable PC's. OQO is definitely the pioneer, but they are still not there yet in my opinion. The Intel Atom chip will be the wave...

It doesn't work that way. You can reverse a losing strategy and still lose.
