I don't trade and I make 5k per week. Every week. With certainty. Here's to being in your 20s and getting a real job!

I agree with everything in your post. The only reason that I did not, and don't (though perhaps incorrectly), consider myself a gambling addict is because I gave up when I saw it devolving to the point of unlikely return. I only traded for a year. But, during that time, I lived in a 4x6 room in...

You're right. I normally come to this site and see nothing of value - Don Bright pimping his firm, guys citing correlations that don't exist, people calling tops of this or that. This thread caught my eye and I felt I could make a meaningful contribution. What more reason does one need to...

You mean because my total of 9 posts since joining? Most of which have been today (a slow day at work)? If anything, this tells me you've never worked in a corporate environment. How long have you been losing money? Oops, I mean "trading."

What purpose does such hyperbole serve other than to invalidate your point before even giving yourself a chance to be heard (read)?

Why aren't increasing gas prices pushing the US into recession? Here's my answer: Take a look at the US in the dead of night from space and you'll see that most of the population is clustered along the coasts and in a few areas around the great lakes (you can see this because this is where...

A few HONEST questions for you Timmy: 1) How does being a daytrader qualify you to write a book with a title such as, "The Great American Hedge Fund?" 2) Why are you more qualified than any other guy who's not lost his account (yet) to write a book? 3) Do you ever feel embarrased by...
