To make more money. For many people, especially, I dare say, the hedgefund types, it overrides all.

Check this thread I found, gaj. Best call I've seen made on ET (imagine if Romeo/JimRandid/RogerHerhey/etc had made THIS one!): October low call

I think Fleck is over-rated*, too. That's not to say he isn't any good. He is. He usually makes an interesting point or two and he can be useful -- as can many other "gurus" -- for comparing your own perspective with. I don't really read him much anymore, maybe catch up once a week, but he's...

Why should it be, FRuitLoOp? Because YOU don't like it? Or because you think there is some legal basis for "getting it out of government" (whatever you'd like that to mean)? If the latter, I'm sure everyone on this thread is all ears.

Well, fwiw, I enjoy reading about your trades. I do find some of them quite baffling, but that makes it more interesting, because I'm hearing from someone who sees the market quite differently to myself. There's no need to feel a fool; it's not like people here are such good traders that you...

That's a curious statement. What does "SLK/Goldman" mean? Does Goldman have anything to do with SLK apart from owning them?

Yes, she chooses to kill the unborn child. Juast a meat-eater (usually indirectly) chooses to kill the lamb. Call me insane, but I choose to value human life far and away more than I do animal life. So really, this whole "animal torture" thing is hardly anything more than...

Maybe I can help. Journals: "The place for keeping a daily journal of wins, losses, and anything else related to your quest of becoming a better trader." (click)

Yes, I feel for you AAA. That new legislation that forces people to watch reality shows really sucks, doesn't it.

Yes, appreciate life so much that you have no qualms whatsoever about ending it. Read: abortion. (And, usually, turn an 'understanding' blind eye to its evil twin, infanticide.) Oh, and what about those dastardly lions and wolves! In cahoots with the devil!

In short, "too many cooks spoil the broth."

Well, there's a gulf between our points of view. In my world, 50% is a long way beyond "good enough". Still, assuming that such funds exist, and their strategies can fairly be termed "safe" (I have my reservations), as vulture mentions, it's a safe bet (:)) that they're not interested in...

Hedge funds! Lol. That's rich indeed! Okay, you're in the industry yourself, but come on man, NOBODY considers hedge funds a safe place to park cash.

Yeah, what's his beef with it ? !? :D

Firstly, Scientist, I'm sorry for having gotten involved in this thread. I'll say this then leave you to it. I don't think what you're suggesting above is the best way to look at improving trading performance. It's not really "you vs the market" in the same way as it's "you vs the golf...

What level of returns is magnificent in whoever's opnion. What is or is not achievable. I beg to differ. If the issue is mental ceiling, then the above points are at the heart of the matter. So just because we are not actually designing a system to do this - i.e. use the capital at...

You wouldn't want to overstate your case now, would you.

Right. I see. You've convinced me. How about you Candle?
