Here is my way to be totally irresponsible. 1. Take out an interest only loan (with no down payment) on a house that I paid too much for during the boom time. 2. Run up a lot of credit card debt because I don't have enough money to pay my bills and the mortgage at the same time (but I...

Yea, I'm very deceptive. One time I told some guys on a thread that I was buying Coke, but I was actually buying Coca Cola Bottling. Boy did they feel dumb.

I was a consultant for VC firms before I began my current career, and all I can tell you is that VC guys are one notch above TV evangelist (and that's a very small notch). I want them all to fail. They've ruined San Francisco, they've ruined trust in the market place, and they've ruined the...

I think you've hit on something very important here. Who cares if our country becomes a cesspool of terrorists and gangs? If people can't make correct subject, verb agreement, then our country is doomed from the beginning.

Wow you've opened up a can a worms. Unfortunately, I have to go play with my girlfriend right now, but you can be sure this thread will probably have a few more entries. Later, matt

I'm not wanting to open a big time closed end fund in the millions and millions of dollars (with a huge marketing plan and a bureaucratic staff), what I'm looking for is an investment vehicle (which I would run) so that my family and friends can invest in and receive some benefits from my active...

Chas - You know what people say about people that talk to themselves don't you?

Are you sure we don't need to be watched? See, at some point we Americans in our haste to make ourselves more secure, are going to have to decide how secure we want to be. If we want to keep terrorist out, then we're going to have to subject ourselves to things like license plate readers...

-mattjclark Ok, see this one is like really abstract, so you'll have to bear with me. My parents named me Matthew Justin Clark, but as I got older people just called me Matt, thus the "matt". The "j" comes from my middle name Justin, except I just used the first initial, so "j". And...

Hey Cracked, I lived in the Lakewood neighborhood of East Dallas. Technically I still live in Texas as far as the taxing authorities know (why pay state taxes when you don't have to). I've thought about moving back because most of my California friends have moved, but I love California so...

You know, its not like we're just sitting there looking at one stock price waiting for it to go in one direction or the other. I personally sit and watch all the major indices, and about 15 - 20 other indicators on a minute by minute basis. If something drastic happens, I'll bet I know what it...

And I'm not just talking about t*ts and a**. However, the bottom of the market will come, when p/e ratios get in some relation to historical p/e ratios. As for the market until then, you better put on your parachute. Just the facts.

I would say a year ago those houses probably sold for 185-250K My house in Dallas cost 145K in 1996 and sold for 225K in 2001

We as traders know that we must be ahead of the market in order to make money. We also know that CNBC is always way behind the curve as far as broadcasting information. Here's the problem; on a subconscious level my brain tends to interpret what CNBC say's as what the market is currently...

I'm consulting (on the side) for a very wealthy doctor who wants to create his own hedge fund, and he has totally bought into this crap. Every day I tell him what trades he needs to be thinking about, and then he tells me that those trades don't make since according to the oh so great Elliot...

No city in the 90's grew like Dallas. It was amazing, back in 1995 everyone thought real estate had reached over capacity, and then they just kept on building on out to Frisco (not a reference to San Francisco, there is actually a town North of Dallas called Frisco). Many of my friends back...

I have the WSJ online, so usually I wake up in the morning and read a few major headlines (if that), and then I don't read any of it until the end of trading. I often wonder if I'm getting my money's worth. I'll have to try the music idea. usually I just listen to the radio, maybe I could...

I canceled my cable (most importantly CNBC) in April, and I've been on fire ever since. I strongly recommend this to anyone who always has CNBC going in the background.

That's dark!!!! Trader? I don't know; I think your true calling is as a writer. Give us some more!!!! :cool:

Look dude, I'm not trying to put you down, I'm sure you have a system that you are very confident will work in the long run. All I'm saying is, so do I. So do most of the people I converse with on this board. The problem is that a system is worthless unless you can trade it successfully...
