    agreed, but is this the place? would you be so ready to accept a little "Allah is Great" here? Anyway, I thought this was a TRADING site.

    Don's openings Part 3

    here's a little something that seems to work more times than not..... a stock is indicated up pre open...say it closed at 30, and is indicated 31-31.5....then it is raised to 32-33, then it is raised again.....at this point, put in a limit order to sell short at say 33 and change. Somewhere in...

    Exactly right about the bully analogy. Pisses me off when I see these guys who have made a lot of money getting down on new traders who need to get past their initial anxieties. I have been in a room with essentially the same guys for years. Consider them friends. But this behavior has really...

    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    I agree if this is among guys that know each other....hell, if it weren't for ball busting, what would we talk about among ourselves most of the day? I am talking about cases where a new guy comes in, is labeled as a jinx by guys that don't know a thing about him (or her). I think it is unfair...

    can you short stocks under $5?

    firm here in florida called all-tech....i believe pretty much all they do is add liquidity to their own ecn. they buy sell and short stocks like palm, wcom, etc....maybe they are technically market makers (though the traders are prop traders)..

    I started this thread yesterday. I had my own thoughts about it, but was curious what I would read in the responses. I am surprised I haven't seen one particular word used...a word I expected to see (unless maybe I missed it...) That word is BLAME. It seems like the most superstitious guys I...

    What was your dumbest reaction after losing a day?

    Update...got what I asked for, became Treykool, and lost on my first 12 trades. All good things must end. Maybe I should go for one more and come back as a lesbian....been one trapped in a man's body all my life anyway:p

    What was your dumbest reaction after losing a day?

    I killed myself too. I got re-incarnated as a specialist, gave a trader an even break, and was lynched right on the floor. Came back as a manager for a prop firm, made a decision, got fired. Killed myself again...waiting in purgatory...hoping to come back as Treykool and get 125% payout and...

    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    Just wondering.....I trade with some very superstitious guys. I mean really rediculous stuff. Is it me? Are they all nuts? Is it part of the makeup of traders? Yeah, I have a few of my own....but aside from knowing my p&l will drop when I hear the sound of Bob Pisanis' voice, I think I am...

    No, if were "da man", I wouldn't be here bored and trying to get by....I would be remote trading off my yacht like someone I know. 100k in two positions....guess he was an overnighter. All depends on size. Hey, it was only about 3 months ago if I remember right that SEPR opened down 27 pts. 5...

    worldco vs. generic

    I worked at a few places......most of the really big action I saw was down on the floor in the OEX pit on the CBOE. I worked for a firm that had reportable limit positions all the time. But yeah, I daytraded too with guys that did huge numbers. Even I, who was mid level at best, could have...

    OK chas....tell me what significance Mayer Offman has. Is he as much of an asset (or liability) to Generic as Treykool is to Worldco? The suspense is killing me!:cool:

    worldco vs. generic

    I have been offered deals by both worldco and generic. I have seen a ton of posts and opinions about worldco (which I am leaning against going to), and virtually NONE about Generic. Anyone have any input about Generic they would like to share?
