Murray lernt fast here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=225189 that ET don't want nuttin' for free. A sponsor, a respected poster, and a successful entrepreneur wants to teach ET sumpin'? No way! We awreddy know it all! Arrogant fuckstick to think he can teach us...

To the tune of "It Ain't Necessarily So": "Jesus was never a Jew. Forget what you've heard, it's not true. The babe in the manger was no Hebrew stranger. Jesus was never a Jew."

You are remembering the Dunning-Kruger Effect post by one of ET's most prominent examples of it: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202114&highlight=dunning In fact I started this thread because I wanted to discuss how you to determine quickly if a poster really...

One minute is good. One second is better.

So the voice of The Fly pleading "Help meeeeeee! Help meeeeee! I'm stuck beteen a Fib and a Dow didn't qualify as an idea?

I already did. Your turn.

There is an historical precedent. During the War for Southern Independence, Jones County Georgia declared its independence. It as known as The Kingdom of Jones, among other names. Good reading if you google it.

I noticed that, as well. For that and other reasons I switched to a one-second chart to see better what is going on and for trading.

Ah! Very clever. And the still is? In truth I ask not because I am an alkie but because I find it is the cheapest effective kitchen grease and grime cleaner to be had.

I am sure that as a sponsor you can get tight moderation. Ask them to asswipe this one and forge ahead.

You've heard of survivorship bias? Well, you're the opposite: failure bias. Don't lay all your flaws on the method. It works if used properly.

I think perhaps a lower energy way of doing it is freezing. When my wife buys a crap bottle of wine ("This sauterne looks nice!") I freeze it and pour the good stuff out. You realize of course that Everclear is at least six times distilled, so you can't squeeze any more water out it with more...

Agreed. They come down the road in my neck of the woods and they'll be the cast members in a remake of "Deliverance."

Those Shit-For-Shit-Gold kiosks are paying you at best 30% of the spot content. They bundle all that junk up and sell it to a smelter who folds it in with all the stolen gold from pawn shops. They don't pay much because smelting ain't cheap. The smelter's product then goes back into the...

Indeed. Commodeometric. Commodimetric means "measured relative to other commodities." At least that's what it would mean if I hadn't just invented the term. Go google it. All you'll see is me. Now Argent is famous. You distill your own? Really? Which still do you use? I have never found one...

What is it, Jack? Afraid that you'll catch stupidity from talking to me? From your flash post I saw non-stationarity, one of my favorite issues and the bane of market modellers, but OOD? Didn't get that deference.

I think you are being a bit harsh. It is possible to find ideas which have trading value here, but it is as surprising as running into chewing gum stuck to the underside of your dinner table. If you think this place is dumb, how do you rate ZeroHedge?

Thanks. I like that! I can only add to the 911 call "There's a crazy man with a gun!"

In truth I was looking for a way to quantify my gut feels about silver. My wife bitches at me when another tube comes in the post and asks "Why the hell did you buy more? Don't you know my Botox appointment is coming up?" It's embarrassing when I say "My ass wouldn't quit itching" or "My left...

Low humor often goes below the heads of the dull-witted.
