hrt2, "Why would they trust you with their money when you have proven you couldn�t handle what little money you had?" Any fund or business that is in the custody of other peoples funds (hedge fund, every financial firm or many other employers today) is going to check your credit...

Hrt2, You said” I started the topic hoping (urgh) that someone would point a more elegant, eficient way for raising capital, I could have missed something... don't know.” To be blunt, you live in fantasy land. You started the topic hoping someone would have an easy way for you to get...

That is unfortunate your situation but no one forced anyone to get a loan. Perfect victim and it is not my fault attitude qwiktrade. Mailing in your keys will really show them (lol) but it is you who will ultimately pay in the long run. Please explain to us how your bank was encouraged to give...

Yes, when someone doesn’t pay their bills and stays, they are a loser. We are living “on pins and needles.” Yeah, right. Well, you should be. If they had some integrity, they would have moved. The only problem is the government thinking they are helping things by dragging out the process...

Quote from Kassz007: Who sent him? The majority of American citizens - that's who. That is without a doubt true. It's also true that the American people have realized what a huge mistake it was and will stop Obama dead in his tracks this fall. Actually, this isn’t entirely...

Rgilbert93, The absolute worst thing you can do is “get serious” about trading at this stage. You are a punk kid, all of 16, without even a driver’s license (no offense but for your sake, I hope you get what I am saying here). You are so young you have no idea how much you don’t know...

TraderTactics said “But IMO, if I were you, even if they have asked for a salary requirement, I wouldn't disclose them. I'll probably give them a percentage of what's my worth but will not disclose it. The key is not to refuse to answer but to artfully turn the question back at the...

Quote from NoDoji: "That's exactly why I no longer use the strategy, because psychologically I just can't bring myself to add to winners! Is that crazy?" I am with pension admin on this one, for all but a very select few, adding to loser is a poor strategy and indicative of psychological...

OTCkrak, Frankly, IMHO this letter needs major revamping. In the first paragraph, sending your resume, thinking and then saying this qualifies as full commitment is a bit disingenuous right off the bat. It should go without saying that you are committed to the job or you wouldn’t have...

Lasner, Writing naked options isn’t recommended unless you have very, very deep pockets and don’t mind an occasional massive loss (just ask Mark Cook). Having said that, it is your money so the only thing I would recommend to contain a loss is to buy an option above (if selling calls) the...

Bat1, This line from GOP trader is what you should remember “Then just focus on the process of trading and not the outcome.” I also agree with Handle123’s post. The bottom line is you just don’t take your trading seriously. You are probably gambling and not trading. You don’t...

In a word, yes. The government interventions may delay this until 2011 IMHO. We have more pain in the housing market IMHO. But in either case, it doesn't affect my trading. It will affect the country though. Good trading TM

Your whole thread premise is faulty. As already stated, the poor already pay no income taxes. This is information that could have been found in 20 seconds with a Google search. Hey, I am all for outside the box thinking. But instead of teaching those essentially outside of what many would...

I am with Clancy and those thinking along those lines. To blame Wal-mart for people’s inability to make choices in their best interest is as bad as the people who sued McDonalds for making them fat. Wal-mart’s job as a company is to provide what their customers want. Period. It is the...

Contro, I am going to tell it to you straight. Listen to yourself. You have the typical attitude of all young people these days. I am entitled to great success and I don’t really want to work for it. You are wishy washy about college because you see no real payoff today because you want...

I just don’t get it about what is so popular about these types of threads and the thinking (or more appropriately the lack of thinking) that goes into them. A few have summed it up quite well (like l2tradr) but it is really simple. The evidence is irrefutable. On average, a person with a...

No, this is just another convenient excuse for those who don’t make it trading to blame something else for it instead of the real reason: themselves. The lengths those will go to “save face” in their own mind. If you don’t take responsibility for your actions, sooner or later it is...

That is pretty bad Aegis even though I know you are kidding me. I usually proofread every post but still screw the pouch occasionally. I nor anyone else demands perfection but a bare minimum standard is not too much to ask. No one is arguing you can’t be successful if you don’t go to...

Hoffmanw, With all due respect, your figures are a bit off. Your figures could have been checked in 1 minute with a google search (on the first page) but as is common today, you just accepted a number you heard or read and didn’t think about it yourself. Exactly what is wrong with the USA...

Failed_trad3r, This may seem harsh but you got what you deserved. Why? You had a plan or strategy (so you say) but at the first sign of it not doing exactly what you want, you went on tilt and ignored the system that is supposed to be designed make you money, not lose money. If you can’t...
