Puhleeze, Cramer's just another talking head, paid to spew out the kinda stuff the amateur trading audience tunes in to hear. Maybe this is what his script outline looks like: Give predictions. Mention "Bull market's in the air". Buy [stock] now. Sell [stock] now. Predict the Dow by...

But that's taught to us by people who work hard 10 hours a day.

You've made my point very well, I might add, for me.

It wasn't a question of whether or not you were clear. The point I made was that, as you've offered the number of members to your free site at yahoo as some sort of significance, I made mention that those numbers may not reflect current active members, just a tally of all subscriptions to...

Not so. You have taken on the specific activity of trying to sell others on the idea that you are a superb market performer. You've taken on the chore of intitiating websites to speak about how terrific you are, you've actively posted kudos about yourself by yourself, and that's about all there...

I didn't call you by that term, please don't spin my remarks and put in your words. I wrote that you appear to have reversed your stance. Perhaps you see that as what a liar does, and so, feel that I've called you such. It's not me calling you that, but it might be you, as it seems to have...

You had written on your site, in response to the emails, that you didn't keep track of your losers. Now you appear to have done so. Flip flop. My math was based on the amount of missing trades your fan reported at that time, not your new revised figures you've given in your new flip flop post...

Well, I also graduated from a school, yet, sadly, my stock-picking prowess is nowhere near mr. market's as it takes me a painfully slow tortuous smaller amount of time to reap the kind of gains mr. market accomplishes in a year and a half. Yet, I will try to interpret his methodology. He has...

It's not just the trading industry. I grew up in the art world. Artists talk about their art in a manner other artists call, "artspeak", which basically means "BS". And that's what's at play here. It's the presentation of something (whether what it presents is the next big thing or not) by...

In that case, I'm sorry to hear all that's not working out too well for you.

For a guy holding stocks a year and a half to make 15% (instead of 30 minutes)... maybe that's how they build houses in Armenia ... no wonder he'd buy just on that aspect :p No disrespect meant to anyone, Armenian or not, who's worth their merit, though.

The mrmarket yahoo site brags, "I have 17 consecutive profitable trades of 15% or higher since January 2002. " I don't understand... are we supposed to lower our returns to compete?

Jack, from your writing I get that "next faster fractal" is another name for the "next timeframe down", but then again, my hunch is that if they were the same, they may share the same term for a name, which they don't. What defines a faster fractal apart from a trader's next timeframe down? And...

the context of my post was whether Seykota projects tops. I don't think he does from my reading of his posts. Again, I'm assessing what I understood from reading Seykota's posts, that being the context of this thread.

Hedge funds are typically invested in by wealthy people. They don't have to seek to become rich. So, as a rule, they don't want undue risk for a reward they don't need anymore. Instead, they seek to preserve the wealth they've attained and outpace inflation, that's the stage they're at.

I think Seykota reasons that daytrading/very short term trades are riskier exactly because of the reasons you give. There are more trades the shorter term trader takes, and there's a risk with every trade, so there's naturally overall more risk. Also, short-term traders have to find the next...

I could need what I was asking about. Thanks very much.

No... I've made money with it. And I don't agree that this thread is a waste of others' time. Maybe you think you've wasted your time with this, but, hey, the thread was aptly named and my request was specific so you must've known what lay ahead, but you chose to proceed and spend your time to...

That's right, amg, thank you. Wondering if you would happen to know the calculation for for determing at what price 2 *E*MAs would cross as well? Sempai: I realize that. Surprisingly, in backtests, it's been marginally more successful to just presuppose the crossover and stop out. Not enough...

Very usually, I ask questions because the answer is complicated. Were it not, I'd soon figure out the answer. So, I think I may need it. I think there may be an application for it. But I won't know for certain until I do it. Yes, I've already considered that the price print may be better for...
