    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    I have a new trading method to share with you that really works. You open all the windows, crank up the stereo to deafening, crank the bass all the way up, max out the subwoofer volume, and play a song appropriate to the trading circumstance. Today it was: "Break on through to the other side!"

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    N.Q. called me today to inquire if I made money with the long bias his Confabulator indicated. Reluctantly, I admitted that I had. He said, "Then when I come in for therapy next time, YOU pay ME!"

    Is Dementia Contagious?

    Emil, I just found this in a post by "you-know-who" (don't want to trigger his egotistical search engine, might give him engina): "SF honored a program they financed that I ran. My Econ Prof was in the audience. We spoke afterwards. He siad:" I remember you, John, you were always asking...

    Robert Minor Talk at AfTA

    BSulli, thanks for your opinion. Haven't been in years, but I may come just to see which ugly old guy YOU are! Equalizer, I appreciate your expressing your views. I am a firm believer in the efficacy of Vitamin A for remaining calm and collected during RMH.

    Pemit me to share the results of a recent word association test on a client: market - woman system - fetish profit - orgasm consistency - addiction. One sick puppy!

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    If I can save but one trading soul I shall not die in vain. OK, here's the scoop. Before I started reading Jack a few years ago, I never set a target for my daily profits. Some may argue that I HAD no daily profits, but that is beside the point. I mean, to me, profit is like sex. When you get...

    Are you worried about a correction/end on the gold 'bubble'?

    It is hard for me to get excited about the possibility of a gold price crash when I bought most of mine at $280 to $320.

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    I occurs to me that I have not introduced myself properly to the current generation of ET. Jack does that somewhat grandiloquently each time he seeks to enlist a new cycle of aspirunts. So I will list my own qualifications, as they roughly parallel his: university faculty member (a drafting...

    ES "1" point System

    Did you just fall off the turnip truck? ET's officially sanctioned ES intraday trading system doesn't just make a pitiful POINT per day, it makes 3X the daily range! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=83604 You will be welcomed with open arms into this esteemed community...

    What stock are you buying/selling for Monday?

    Everything in the NAZ100 via shorting NQ. It's new moon.

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Yeah. Saying "I have seen Jack at home in his undershirt" just doesn't do it for me. So give me a critique. I say: "NQ closed above the open and over 5 points above the VWAP, which was below the open. Sounds like somebody wanted to sell to us to set up Monday as a profitable down day."...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Opie, I'm glad it means something to you. All I see is yet another oscillator that turns when it is already obvious to the eye that price has turned. Pure price tells you everything. I see a bear flag. A Jacker sees an FTT. Someone else might see a weaker upthrust. Yet another a lesser high than...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    My god! The romantic sufferer as trader. If it were not for the poesy, I might have been tempted to ask, as might The Kingfish, "Do de name Nononsense ring a bell, Sapphire?". But alas, he is gone forever. Very nice. Do such gentle s resonate in any way in trading? I regret that I am quite...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Allaces, more personal information given away. I get the first line (Byron with one tiny error), but the rest eludes me. Help, please? As an aside, literacy will get you readership, but it doesn't help make money. I should know. And thank you for "egregore", something new for an old man...

    Oh, I forgot. When N.Q. came in for his session Friday, he brought me the latest Confabulator reading (he can't afford to pay, so he brings me "gifts"). See attached. I think I'll be shorting Monday. The poor delusional fool!

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Well, we veer dangerously away from serious discussion of trading, at least by ET standards, so it is time for me to throw in a gratuitous and irrelevant trading post. I know nobody else thinks much of N.Q. Enqueue's trading theories (he is widely considered to be a crank, exceeded in his...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Allaces, as Shakespeare put into the dialogue between Henry V's soldiers, "The French make love with their mouths!" So I leave that part to F.-M. Arouet. He has the right sweet words to go with it: "Tu es la plus belle chatte que je ne jamais vu!"

    225, there you go giving away personal info again. Do you trade prop? Can you get an old guy like me a slot? Huh? Huh? I can high-five and scream "Fucking-A, man, fucking fucking!" with the best of them.

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Nkhoi, totally seriously, you are not as old as I am by about half. When you get to be my age, money doesn't count for much beyond a certain minimum of necessities. So there is a different paradigm from Jack's, a very ancient one, which says "Ich habe genug" or "Ca suffira". I wake up alive and...
