An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He says to the waiter, "Me want coffee." The waiter says, "Sure chief, coming right up." He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee and the Indian drinks it down in one gulp, picks up the...

Tricks and jokes, smirks and snorts, giggles and "gotchas!" are traditional on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, pranksters play tricks on the public -- and a big trick that attracts lots of attention is called a "hoax". The word "hoax" was invented on the American frontier around the year 1800 --...

Gordon, We went to the moon. Don't believe these conspiracy theories. There is ample evidence to prove it, including things like pendulum movements that precisely matched the moon's gravity. There will always be people who will come up with crazy ideas, but that doesn't make them true...

Smokey, And what group should we classify your post under?

I am glad we are all finally starting to come to terms with one another like the big happy trading family we should all be. :cool:

Smokey, No offense, but if a thread I started was nothing but horseshit to begin with, at least we got a few gems out of the garden? Not every post you read on Elite Trader is going to be a mind-expanding experience. I think the contributions Oldtrader has decided to make for us more...

OldTrader, Your insights are among the best I've seen on ET. I have printed out your post. This is the second print-out I've made from the thousands I have read. I can't thank you enough!

nasdaqmadness, Yes, that sums up my biggest discipline problem. If I'm trading for 8 hours and I only get to make 3 good trades and they only last for 5-30 minutes, then I'm basically spending the majority of my time waiting. I think most people who are ambitious feel like waiting is...

egotraitor, I bet your neighbor wasn't using TA that week!

Sarasota, I know of only one person who is averaging around 10 ES points per day, and he's been trading futures for a very, very long time. I've talked with him about trading -- you can review the posts on USENET. His name is Jack Hershey. You may also check out Oattrader, who is also the...

I'm game!

OldTrader, Excellent post. Thank you.

Sarasota, Yes, and if you threw out the FIB, you'd be making 15 points a day. :p

In five minutes my time (Eastern Time), it will be 9/11. Approximately 9 hours from now a year ago, the first plane would have hit one of our towers. Please be aware that all exchanges will be observing a moment of silence. I would ask fellow traders and paper-traders to please...
