    Trading as a full contact sport

    are we talking NFL? If so I would give the chance to play a miss no matter your age and fitness level. I played rugby at a high level for 15 years (UK and US) and though I haven't played for 10 years now I can still feel some of the hits I took. For one play it isn't worth ruining a knee or...

    How high can the S&P go?

    I know it can't have been easy. What a difference a few days make, feeling much better about things now.

    What is NLP?

    someone who knows far more about this stuff than I (bm for example, amongst others who have posted) but the concern that I have with using only TR or NLP is that it just gets at the "how" and not the "why". TR and NLP seem to be techniques that are an effective answer to the "how to change"...

    What is NLP?

    having tried both Tony Robbins when he first came out with his personal power thing years ago and then moved on to REBT my own view is that TR's method, while it has some merits is a little too simplistic. I feel that REBT goes far deeper than TR and gets at the faulty mindset that allows the...

    How high can the S&P go?

    sucking down the gaviscon this am. SMH going wild and me short a stack of smh calls and long a few puts to boot. Went short the NQ near the open but after having taken a couple of big hits on NQ shorts recently wasn't even a half position. After I regained my senses I bought a stack of IBM puts...

    How high can the S&P go?

    which is why the position is in the red. Long a few SMH puts as of this am as well. Thanks for the post Romeo, though I have enough trouble making money for myself and have always been a very high risk type of trader with a wild equity curve over the years and my style is suicide for most...

    How high can the S&P go?

    though smaller than usual due to Isabel. Got stopped out on my Euro trade with a decent profit, stopped on my Gold trade with a small profit, stopped out of my NQ trade with a significant loss. SMH calls are in the red but still holding, bought a few SMH puts this am. Waiting for INTC to...

    Boxter or Z4?

    grow up and get an Aston Martin. My 1999 DB7 is not only a joy to drive but a real piece of art. Perhaps the most beautiful car ever conceived. And you can tell that i am 100% objective about this :D I plan to keep it as long as I live.

    How high can the S&P go?

    All the shorts have covered or are covering and the longs are so bullish it is mind boggling. Heavily short NQ and SMH. Long Euro. Long Gold. Going to the boat show tomorrow (Annapolis), hopefully when I get back Monday I will not have to report that I got stopped out of everything. Good...

    How high can the S&P go?

    why do you care? As far as I can tell the only one here who thinks he is an Ace is Romeo (Ok AMT does too but I don't think you were referring to him) and evidently with good reason given his track record over several years. The rest of us are just voicing what we think the market is...

    Get Your Face Smashed By Gold Today?

    I am thankful that I sold half my position yesterday but considering this a position I have held for a few weeks now (basis 368) it isn't much consolation. I also got killed and stopped in a Euro trade (was up big and gave it all back) and stopped out on the NQ. Shorting again mid morning with...

    How high can the S&P go?

    I took myself out @ 1356 but got back in with a half position @ 1366. Also sold a good amount of out of the money SMH Calls. I won't deny the obvious though, for those of us that came in short today it really sucked. And to top my morning off both my gold trade and my Euro trade are giving...

    a rare marketsurfer stock pick

    some people have to worry so much about other people's trades? Maybe they have none of their own to focus on? Anyhow, I'm hoping BBI takes a nose dive for you MS.

    Ego Challenge (02 Oct 2003)

    keep pulling that cash out of the market dude. I have to disagree on one point though. Contract size does matter though it is all relative. In the same way paper trading yeilds different results than real trading, if someone who normally trades x contracts started trading X/10 or some other...

    How high can the S&P go?
