Fedex "not my problem" ad... the big foot squashing the caveman at the end kind of makes me think of the market, at any time... I laugh out loud every time I see it! LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=148dowDhkVY Timewise I think it is semi recent.

Yes, OP sorry for going from distressed trader pics to really funny finance related advertisements... I hope you got a laugh, also.

Yeah! LMAO I almost posted that one myself! My father was in advertising so I have always been a student of great commercials... until I stopped watching TV about 5 years ago! If I find the one I mentioned I will post it! Thanks for the laugh!

One of my all time favorites is an ad where the parents are grounding the teenage boy for coming home late... he storms out of the house to what he came home late in... a helicopter. The boy has made so much money with etrade or some outfit that he has his own helicopter. He is shouting...

This one isn't it either but it's amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkRe9KmDpCU Guy watches bogus ad and SELLS after seeing ad for company whose stock he used to own... :D

She seems like a nice, pretty, intelligent lady, yes. I know the subject is Jim Rogers' prognostications but I just had to say something about Betty Liu. :D

I think Betty Liu is HOT... brains and beauty. Yum yum. :cool:

There is a great scene in the movie The Natural with Robert Redford and Glenn Close. Glenn Close tells Redford "I think we all have two lives... the life we LEARN with and then the life we LIVE afterwards." Something like that. I also agree with the posters who commented on who we...

Hi gwivxvvv, A good education anywhere is a good thing.

On the psychology angle, there is a poem that is famous named Desiderata http://www.fleurdelis.com/desiderata.htm Whatever its pedigree, there are several lines that this trader (I am a rookie) likes. I like the line about "Do not give in to dark imaginings..." I know this is real...

Yes, for me the Windows error sound (boink) now triggers a visceral reaction since means I am out... good, bad or indifferent. :eek:

I, too, noted the stated loss was $9,000 usd and thought "Not exactly a princely sum in the oil futures market." Of course, I would prefer to GAIN $9,000 as far as that goes. :D

VERY encouraging thread, to me. Thank you for all the insights from the experienced hands here. dbd

If this is ONE physical drive that has three partitions, do not forget that you are describing a potential physical failure of the drive... therefore you would want to back up the entire drive, not just the one partition. $250.00 (in USA) would buy a hard drive with the capacity to copy or...

BUMP An amusing video on youtube that is non-stop double-talk... kinda like what we hear on the mainstream media but they have fun with it... I may have seen it before on ET... hope it provides some amusement... daybyday

It is unbeatable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuhYd9L_d7w :cool:

Thanks, that makes sense to me and is quite encouraging. I am not profitable yet because I am currently out of action after about 6 months live trading. I purposely explored different approaches and learned with my own trading account that I was exploring CHAMPAGNE techniques with a BEER...

I certainly hope YOU are doing well now and I, for one, appreciate the story from the front lines. Yeah, what sort of d*ck steals leads from the rookie? I worked in computers for 30 years and I was always glad to share what I knew with the eager beavers. Not everyone was like that.

I suppose my 2.5% question is answered by the rule to not use too much leverage.

Is one of the rules to limit max drawdown on a trade? Like no more than 2.5% of trading capital risked on any one trade? Thanks all.
