Looks like Don had to report back to the mother ship and get a new assignment from Tony Robbins. Everything about this guy, even his look, reeked of being an uber promoter. As I said, if it looks, walks and acts like a duck, well....... This thread did pick him apart....and probably cost...

I'm amazed how this whole "educational" segment has developed. Back when I started in the 1980s - it was basically newsletters, and sleaze dream merchants like Jake Bernstein and Larry Williams. You were pretty much on your own w/ worthless TA books and the other BS that was heavily marketed by...

I read most of this thread and found it interesting. The guru you guys are talking about started placing videos on you tube a few months before the crash. He'd focus on basic TA and pivots, and the uninitiated were really wowed by his after the fact analysis. I think he built his following...

Well said Jem... Anyone ever see Jake Bernstein's records besides that Robbins trading gig in the 80s. I think he has to go to Australia now to sell his dreams. What's up w/ the Jakster? DMiller is Buffett compared to Bernstein. I think Bernstein is the slimiest (offensively foul or vile) of...

Yes I knew a few traders over the years that did fallback on their Plan C. It's called landscaping.

Hey bob - I mean Don I'm not running a Jellies website and making bold statements. I do have 25 years from the school of hard knocks behind me. Including time spent of the floor. I will say this however. There is merit in using the electronic platform w/ a pit trader approach. focusing on...

Didn't one of say he looks like Tom Selleck? He looks a heck of a lot like Jake Bernstien....he sure acts like him. Jake Bernstien is also one of the worlds great traders. He tells you so!! He's made a fortune trading the cycles dating back to the eighties. Some people will believe...

was long earlier in year -- got out in early sept. when trend broke down. Been waiting for a retest of the high, which if it fails, will set up a classical reversal. Time will tell but I'm looking to go other way on it. This trend never went into blow off mode which probably should have...

Jake Bernstein, Woody the CCI guy, Roberts, they are all the same - there have been legions of these guys in the futures industry. Turtles = Jellies. Nice touch. Dollars to doughnuts he's not a member of the CME. Someone should do a little investigation on this issue. Anyone see his tax...

Listen to blumartian. Forget the futures. The stocks are much easier where at least you have a chance. You probably have to learn this stuff on your own like the rest of us did.

I'm not going to sell the Boesky book -- just wondering if it's worth anything. I also have a letter (addressed to me) from Boone Pickens when he was CEO of MESA. I don't think it's worth much. ps. whatever happened to Boesky? Last I recall the Boesk was a hermit living in Calif...

Boesky penned a book titled "Merger Mania" before he got caught in 1986. The book is a guide to merger arbitrage minus of course the illegal inside dope that he was hooked on. I think there was only one edition ever printed and I believe it's hard to find a copy. Plus it's a very good book...

What is a gann pinwheel. Who is S*Ross? I've got a first edition Merger Mania - Ivan Boesky published by Holt Rinehart and Winston. Is this book worth anything? I met the man at a book signing back in 1985 in lower Manhattan when I purchased it.

hell yeah -- give me a call... I'll trade w/ ya. anyone else want to trade with us??

You wanna bet jackson... When you have a real edge its so easy -- you can't believe it. Like taking candy from a baby. When you don't -- its back to the same old grind... Don't believe me. Ask any of the successful old timers.

rcanfiel -- you are so right . The essence of futures trading is "odds based" educated gambling. Don't care how much passion one has -- w/out an edge forget it. Plus there aren't that many edges. recently I had a fantastic edge in the bonds before the one way street markets this past...

Rogers is a total big mouthed a-hole who I'm quite confident is very over-rated. This clown has something to say about every thing. He acts like some sort of big sh...t because he invests in indonisian palm oil or whatever dribble is coming out of his mouth at the present. His alleged...

Good points Cutten especially about variant perception. That's where the real money is made -- going against the grain. A great variant perception trade I put on several months ago was in SHLD, but it was anything but easy. The market just wouldn't let go of the "eddie lambert' is a genius...

I haven't seen to many females on this board. Great to see some of the girls (or at least one) is giving the elec. tbond futures a go and is having success. Are there any others? Actually in my opinion there's is room for error in this market. Much more than say the ES. It's this margin for...

The trading bottom is so close -- that's why Im buying. As you know, the toughest time to buy is when things look their worst. DJ is already off 1000 pts. I'm sticking w/ the best GE, BA, JPM -- stuff like that, but I've also been buying GS. GS is actually holding strong and going down...
