Admitted... guilty as charged. :)rs7

Agree. No such thing as "easy". Yet when we get in a trend, it becomes "easier" in that consistency works. Whatever the trend may be. If we had a long period of anything, trading would be easier. This has not been the case at all. Was it ever easy? I think when Dell and AOL and MSFT and INTC...

True. Optional is the One And Only True Deity. Getting back to the offer: I would up the offer to 99.9% of profits, because a "sure thing" method would eventually end up with all the money in the world. I could easily live on 1/10th of 1% of that nicely. And give away 99% of my cut to...

Why do you say that? What difference does it make. Linksys is Linksys, n'est pas? Or are you just doing your usual busting on me? Hey, I admit to being in the dark as far as technology goes. To me, these computers are like a car for most people. Just gotta know how to drive 'em. Knowing how...

Max, I need your phone number:) My son decided to re-format his computer a few days ago. I was on the phone with Linksys last night for an hour getting my wireless router working correctly. The people there really do give excellent phone support (although I had to wait a while before getting...

As a hard core former "overnighter", I would rate the quality of taking positions over this weekend as a "minus 2" on a scale of 1-10. Only reason I would have taken a single position would be to assure me of getting to my office for the open on Monday. Really it was a "do nothing" close...

Me? To a "higher standard"? That statement, along with your 80's thread (I just checked it out) are very funny! I guess I sort of missed the 80's to a degree. Was working all the time (was in the bar/restaurant business, and it seemed I was working 24/7) and my boy was born in 85, so being a...

PS: Why am I not entitled to make the " blunders" others are forgiven? And I don't see where Trane or I claimed anything to be "definitive". And when you refer to "(in my thread)" ... not sure what you are referring to. Did I miss something? I don't recall seeing that. Peace Bro'...

Daniel, These last couple of posts of yours are exactly why I love you so much. Nobody but some country and western singers can possibly "tell it how it is" the way you do....stand up for what they believe. No pulling punches. No whimpiness. Great posts. Can't argue with you at all...

I think Trane has pretty much nailed 'em decade by decade. He has PM'd me to ask if I had any additions. It is a hard list to improve on. Nothing stands out to me as a glaring omission. But just to satisfy Trane's thirst for my input, I will say "CASINO" should qualify .... (yet it is...

I know I am quoting you a bit out of context here. But still, I will always believe in letting winners run. Or more appropriately in todays market, keeping a position that you have no reason to exit. If you exit a trade that, if you were not already in, and would think of getting into at the...

Brother Candle....I agree. And I tried to make it clear that I thought Thursday was an aberration in the environment we have been in. I hope I was not unclear on this. I was really trying to put the day into a perspective of what has worked over the years. With the uncertainty of things as...

I have to agree with BROTHER Daniel on this one to a great degree. Speaking for myself and many other traders (Brethren) I have worked along side of, at the end of the year, the difference between a good year and a not so good year boils down to really a handful of days. Take out your...

one of the all time funniest lines.....spectacular! award winning!! Peace :)rs7

Damn TM, which of the principals did you speak to? Makes me feel like I am getting a bit screwed on my deal. Good thing I am only tied into my contract for a few more years. Then I am DEFINITELY going to point out to management the deal they are offering you. Can't believe this :(

Hapaboy...ever see "Bedtime Story" with Marlon Brando and David Niven? (same movie) Peace, :)Rs7

Yeah Vulture.... a definite shortcoming of yours. You NEED to post more. We need the input of the proud, the few, and the great. After all, anyone who can overcome insurmountable obstacles and defy the overwhelming odds as you did in the FFL, we can only begin to imagine how you come back from...

Feels good to finally be enlightened, right? Those of us who have seen the light have been benefiting in every way imaginable since our moment of revelation. It is truly only an act of Optional alone that can achieve such bliss amongst his Brethren. Randyhorse, welcome to the club...

Actually, Quotron was around longer than that. Just called Reuters now. However, my "Rueters" feed booted up as "Quotron" until about two years ago. If you want old feed names, try Bunker Ramo, or ADP...then you are going back a while. And when I left Merrill to go to EF Hutton in '87...

Ahhhh, finally you are coming to your senses, my Brother. I was beginning to think you were HOPELESS but now it is clear to me you are getting the PICTURE. Peace unto you my Graphically Gifted Brother amongst my Brethren!! :)Rs7
