Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life. "The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is the groom wearing black...

OK, Time for something else to do, read another thread... bye :)

I see it as one thought. Thanks Woodman :) One long, curvey, live thought that tries to find expression and make it on the screen whole. But, it brings up emotions and opinions and expletives to traders like me who have lived in this "how do I learn how to trade" world for several years...

I have been following his service (free trial) and I have seen some of his daily analyses pan out and some not. Three weeks later, I'm still undecided. Can someone who knows better what/how well this does guy post an evaluation? It would help me decide. Thanks.

Woodman, Excellent post, congrats! My thoughts exactly. This is a skill/contact sport, not a theory, and vicarious feelings don't fill YOUR bank account. Not to forget that even "audited" statements can be doctored... remember Enron, WorldCom, etc? :)

Let the guy say what he wants to say - it's a free country. He has his own opinions, so what? I enjoy the diversity of perspective at ET, it's what makes it a great forum. And I oflen enjoy what 777 says, and I value the fact that he can say it with impunity, whether I agree with him or not...

Brandon, I was there at the ET chatroom each morning these past few days and saw you in action. Imo, you did very well. On top of that, you took some occassional abuse very patiently. Not having seen any other vendor do that, I think that was extraordinary. Bravo!! I know that some...

Alfonso, I think he does, judging from the questions he's asked me before this exercise even began, and ideas about possible new trading techniques he's come up with recently. However, only time will tell. They say that kids rarely do what their parents tell them to do, but almost always...

At some point we will - don't know exactly when yet.

Which reminds me of another story I heard years ago: A young a very pretty actress, used to getting her way, was testdriving a brand new Lotus out there in Nevada. With very few cars around, she just floored it and reached speeds above 120 miles per hour, and then higher and even higher...

A guy saved his money for years, then bought a brand new Mercedes SLK convertible. He took off down the road, flooring it up to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through his hair, and having the time of his life. So much so, he floored it some more and got up to 90mph. Then, in his...

Dave, Why don't you go through the "European traders, Roll Call !!!" thread in this forum? There seem to be several German folks there, e.g., TomFrey, from Munich. And, while in Munich, don't forget to visit the house of my childhood hero, Baron Karl Friedrich Hieronymus von Münchhausen...

Jiacopel85, Excellent story, really encouraging, thanks and best of luck to you! My advice to you is not to abandon school for trading yet - get your college degree before you go real pro here, even if you are successful - trading is very tricky :)

JT, We did that - the simulations were going to be the initial game and the real-time simulator the follow-up. This was going to lead to rewards at some point, but it didn't pan out well. It may sound silly, but, you see, between Christmas, New Years, birthday and two namedays (Greek...

Quote from Avalanche: Age 14? I would give him Reminiscences of a Stock Operator and How I Made 2,000,000 in the Stock Market to read... Nitro, Anvalanche, I did give him Lefevre's book (I don't have the other one) and he's just told me that it's in his suitcase - he'll read it at camp.

OOPS! This story was going so well... until I read the last sentence :) Maybe some of us haven't accepted the fact that our kids will make their own decisions and will (at least initially) stay away from what their parents told them to do.

I just wanted to report what happened with this project that's so near and dear to my heart. There may be lessons for all parents here - I know I've learned a lot and hope to do better next year. Well, my son (will turn 14 next month) embarked upon this journey with "some" enthusiasm. Glad...

NoMoreOptions, I have a couple of acquaintances who were able to get decent jobs through the likes of: www.monster.com www.hotjobs.com www.dice.com www.careerbuilder.com Good luck to him/her :)

Not necessarily... I'm sure if I spoke to the Supreme Council of Men they might make an exception for you, Natalie... :) :) :)
