Well, truth be told, I actually did hang out in your room for a week last year. So, I guess while I'm not completely familiar with every last detail of what you're doing, I probably know enough to talk generally about it. In any case, I wasn't really critical of your 'techniques' in your book...

Pfft. Such high sounding nonsense. So you read a couple of self-help books and now you think you can figure out that trying to resolve an issue with your broker is "nothing but an indication of a need for control"? Get over yourself. Btw, was your rant about J Hershey getting the boot also...

Excellent effort! A few more months and you could probably start trading some real size.

What, I'm getting double-teamed now? :) Okay, sorry guys. On re-reading my post I can see it came out sounding far harsher than I ever intended. Still, I know you're going to defend it, but it's my opinion that -- if the report is accurate (meaning I wouldn't have to have read the book)...

As far as I can tell, OnTheEdge's story checks out perfectly, so I can see no other way to read his experience as anything but terrible customer 'service'. Very, very poor indeed. OnTheEdge, I fully agree with you that I wouldn't trust a firm that would behave like that. I understand that...

Hardly. Why not just grab a copy and start reading? I think that's rather unlikely. Reading it will certainly help you keep abreast of the direction and state of world economic development -- well, from the perspective of one 'what's best for humanity' point of view, anyway...

Haven't read the book yet. Not sure if I'll ever get it -- these guys are daytraders right? not into that game. Still, just to comment, 90 pages in a 250 page book -- 35% -- seems like a bit much. Yet, this is basically quite a common approach taken by writers who, when it comes down to it...

That was actually a pretty good article, really. I'm surprised everyone has so far ignored the maint point: it's the fluctuations that beat you. Just look at all the "can I make X $ per day?" threads and the boastful "I'm making X $ per day" replies they draw. People have this idea that...

I'm surprised that more of you hadn't heard about these allegations earlier, as I recall hearing about them quite soon after 911. I guess I didn't put too much stock in them because nothing apparently came of it; afterall, I assumed that if any investigations led anywhere, naturally it would be...

Actually, it's well founded and substantiated, and the weight of the evidence constitutes damn near proof. Now, run along little boy; there's plenty more kids in the playground to throw stones at, you've done your dash here. ps - I wholeheartedly agree that we should ban his hide!

As general advice -- fit for everybody -- that is just flat out not true. Simple as that. Gekko, some day, some where, some time, you might finally decide to do what is clearly long overdue -- get a clue.

Gekko, you are true internet superhero my boy. 2.3% bodyfat? My o my o my.

What the hell are you talking about you nutter? You didn't call short 6 points from the top! You called it two points from the top! Yes, 2 points! On 9/3, when you posted that 1025 would be the high -- at 5.51pm -- the market had already put in a high of 1029. 2 points off the...

Geez, axeman. Do you think you could give a moment to answer before rushing to claim I'm "dodging"? :) Thanks!

My apgologies, I didn't see where you asked this question. Cute hypothetical. Obviously I would disagree with that. It's the why you're interested in. Well, it's really quite simple, it was the traders themselves that chose to go and trade; presumably being well aware of what attempting...

alfonso:If you disagree, then please prove to me how your preferred system of government is any more "rational"? (Or better yet, try proving to me the propositions of objectivism. I'm not here to argue for objectivism, but I will be happy to show that your position is irrational. I'm here...

See my reply to Rearden. I don't recall saying your system is "so bad". Do you? All I've suggested is that it could be better.

Because the "collectivist ideals" practised in East Germany, and other nations behind the Iron Curtain, are vastly different to the "collectivist ideals" I espouse. Of course, this crucial point is immediately lost on anyone who insists on dumping everybody that dares suggest social...

Maverick, I am from Argentina, living in Australia. I trade stocks, holding from days to weeks. I don't do it for a living and I don't ever plan to. As for being a trader and being a 'socialist', those positions can only "completely contradict" each other if people feel they must...

He is NOT being sarcastic Marverick. This is why I take all these swipes at him. Swipe all you like! :) You know what I hear when I read "swipes"? I hear frustration that one's own ideas about what is "right" and "good" and "proper", even "rational", are being challenged -- that 'Oh my...
