inhaling cigar smoke is a bad idea (worse than cigarettes) because Nicotine speeds your heart rate, restricts blood flow, and acts as a stimulant. PUFFING on a cigar has none of these effects, so it couldn't really stress you out any more than you already are. If you regularly smoke cigars...

This can be applied to stress as well as sleep deprivation... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=955135#post955135 especially the last paragraph...

Wow, this thread got WAY off subject... jm, I have been to a few trading seminars. From my previous experiences with gurus and trading seminars, I would say trading books (that are specifically geared to one, two, or a few specific aspects of trading or specific strategies of trading) are...

all of it...

alcohol can act as a stimulant to several areas of the brain. Meaning, having a few drinks before bed can cause restlessness and your body could exhibit mild characteristics of anxiety. Does that sound like a grand idea before bed? Everyone's body reacts to alcohol intake in different ways, so...

Mark Cuban has a point... Stock Markets aren't what they were when our grandparents started investing

conbar, so 50k shares @ a $1 loss p/share = $50k, right? You'll not be risking more than 0.0025% on any given trade right? So thats $2,000,000,000 in your account? You should just by a brokerage firm, and reap profits from all of our commissions. ;) I suspect that you meant 0.25%...

Here are a few suggestions nobody has really covered: 1) try decaf coffee and tea 2) try it again, it will eventually grow on you like a fungus 3) Yoga can work very well, but who has that much time and patience before bed? Try stretching exercises (3-8 minutes; just like you are...

"Trading is a mind/body/spirit eco-challenge and will make or break you." I agree. Well said.

bigger fish - game/theory forum doesn't sound like a bad idea. This post probably should have been broken into at least a couple dozen different posts. Now, I've been playing poker for quite a while (sometime mid 90's, I started with a weekly 7stud game 'til I saw Rounders, now it's strictly...

I need a vacation. Have to prepare for Christmas. Still haven't gotten into the endless boxes of Holiday decor or lights. Bah-Humbug, this short break may not be enough... Just kidding, but seriously I'm looking forward to temporary over-eating paralysis, and several days of sleeping...

Kicking, Thank you for your insight. I've seen how easily a newby could perform well, and with out paying homage to caution. Those traders have always been around though. When I was starting out, the only thing I ever heard in market news was "watch out, it's going down again" or "I think the...

I've gone and done it... Some one please stop me, I've altered even more of the chart in order to show recovery. Please, stop the madness! I wasn't trading in 1999. I wasn't trading in 2001. But I have been around for most of the recovery. It seems that 9 out of 10 traders/investors/market...

That is it! That is it exactly! I want the Nasdaq to hit 3500, so what I've decided to do is trick everyone with the most sophisticated trend line anyone has ever drawn. It appears to be straight, although it really isn't. What I've done is bend the line into at least a dozen different...

1335.37 +3.5% (Give or take 2...... 2 and a half percent, plus or minus) But seriously, Holiday shopping is right around the corner so I'll be an optimist.

Can Nasdaq hit 3500 in the Next 5 years? I wouldn't think so either, until I looked at this chart. It's Yahoo!'s, but I may have slightly modified it. Check it out then re-evaluate your answer. Now ask yourself would it be completely out of the question to predict 6000 by 2015? Let me...

If you've never built a computer, don't waste your time. I'm not saying it can't be done, but why spend the dozens (plural) of hours it would take to learn. What if you screw something up and get stuck? Spend the extra $100 - $250 and buy one from a big chain, or $200 - $400 and buy one from a...

Mr. WarrenBuffet - SFO is not the place to learn about scalping. OZ would be the man to look up for that, but it doesn't matter scalping is only in history books. It still exists but only if you aren't paying any commissions. For Retail, it died with decimalization. (keep in mind I'm...
