Had a similar experience. Significant brain injury to the point I didn't know that I could trust my memories. Also, some things I knew what happened, but I couldn't put them in sequence. Fortunately, I have kept a diary since my 2nd year in college. One day I sat down and "reloaded" my life...

Alas poor Scats... I didn't know him well. A civil war may be a logical uprising. The French Revolution seems like more of a spontaneous movement. While either could happen here and now, I'm guessing due process will work. While I am not going to ignore anyone exactly, there are other...

Depends on the looter or shooter... Are we talking about a logical uprising or more of a spontaneous movement/riot type of action?

Hummm. How many of us have a large sharp blade and a rope? And why did the french have so many of them on hand? That is a head scratcher... or with a basket... a head catcher!

There are equally logical as well as historical arguments that it is the conservative side who provoke bloodshed. Only time will tell how it turns out. (And who wins to write the history?) I don't think it is between conservatives and progressives, right and left, etc. (Labels that describe...

It was discussed many times on the "McLaughlin Group" on PBS at the time. Other than that I don't have a link to a quote. I have personal recollections of hearing Regan on the news -- multiple times make the statement about needing to limit the time one would cut taxes for the privileged. He...

Those are all true but... In the 1950's individuals and corporations that were above a certain level of income (i.e the wealthy) were taxed at a level that covered half of the cost of the military, roads, social services, ...everything. When Regan started what became trickle down... he said many...

Wish you all the best with that

As to Brooks -- She became broader than just him.

Oh no! That is not true at all. She lost interest in posting on ET when she moved past being consistently profitable, and figured out how to increase size. She met her goal... the challenge or puzzle aspect of trading was gone. At least that is the way I understood it. Before that she kept...

Hi Pekelo. She was kind enough to talk to me on the phone a few times over the years, as well as exchanges on ET. Most of what I posted above are things she said in posts on ET. I just factored in the time element of her posts. Why she quit posting is a guess on my part... from reading...

Here is my take on NoDoji. I really admire her. I started trading a couple of years after her and in some ways took similar amounts of time as she did to learn some things. She is one of the most transparent traders who posted their journey on ET. 2008 Feb to June trades having had no prior...

Thanks for posting that. I’ve referred several people to your prior videos on the subject. Your simplicity and getting back to the basics have helped my trading.

It makes ET much more pleasant. Hope cr8or tries it. I looked back his his prior posts and he is one of the good ones.

Hi Doc... perhaps PMD stands for Paid My Dues... or paying them :) If you look at the work of Susanna and Stealth and DJMartin, there are some common themes that may be helpful to you. Putting the three of them together -- compare and contrast them -- might let you develop something that...

Looking back through your prior posts, you have received a lot of good advice. There can be a variety of issues that go with impulsiveness, but a common one has to do with thinking about “the money”. If you can instead find some way to think about making or losing ‘ticks’. Go so far as to...

You know, we can't go back to the 50's. What if due to mechanization, robots, whatever... we just don't need that many workers? You don't need farm labor. You don't need a lot of people to manufacture things. There are not enough jobs in the traditional sense.

"The republican party exists for one reason and one reason only and that is to keep my taxes low. ...They should just stick with what they know." 20% of American corporations pay no taxes at all. I remember sitting in a class with a prof who said the key to what made the 1950's work -- in...

Jinxu. I don't think you are just lucky. You have been doing this for awhile and everything you said in your post makes sense. Your psychology was also good in not trading with expectation, etc. There are countless traders who say it took 5 - 7 years before they get the experience of rules...
