    Oh...That Man in Istanbul? The one from 1966 staring Horst Buchholz, Mario Adolf and Sylva Koscina? About an FBI agent posing as a stripper who drags a playboy into the hunt for a kidnapped atomic scientist? NEVER HEARD OF IT!!!! :D

    Bull Spreads not for traders?

    True, but if he is bullish (for example), it shouldn't matter if he has a small debit. If he can middle the bid/ask, even a little, say it costs him .50, he has a $5 upside. So he is risking his fifty cents to possibly make ten times that. The problem then becomes the commisions as I mentioned...

    "I LIKE TO WATCH"....Chauncey Gardner. He would have made a great trader....talk about patience and waiting for opportunities to come his way. Hey, Shirley McLane was a major score in the 60's:D

    Once again Commisso, you nailed it! HOWEVER...... Lundy, I admire your conviction. You do have a brass set! I am impressed that you stick to your beliefs and that you have developed a thick skin. That will serve you well over time. Right or wrong at one moment of your trading life is almost...

    Perhaps, but seldom has nonsense been more beautifully expressed! N'est pas? Dark my friend....thee who is never at a loss for words, you are the master of verbosity, and furthermore, as my other friend Ogden Nash might say, you are soetic, poetic, incredic, and stupendic. Lyrical, spherical...

    Best trader I know trades out of his home. He has several high net worth individuals and has dicretionary trading accounts in their names. He doesn;t trade his own money at all. He only trades the s&p minis, and his returns over the past several years have ranged from a low of 30%+ to over 300%...

    Logical assumption, but not at all accurate. My first trading position was as manager of a trading company on the CBOE. I learned about risk management from a young guy I hired as my nominee. He was a busted out trader who went to work in the risk management department of First Options. When we...

    I owe an explanation here. "Outlaw" is a play on the word "inlaw"....Outlaw is my brother in law, and my best friend. He just sold his business, and is going to begin trading with me. Yesterday while I was firing up the barbecue, he logged on to my computer. You can see in his post that he took...

    Defensive stocks generally are stocks like Gillette, PhillipMorris, Anheiser Busch. Companies that in theory should not be affected by a downturn in the economy. The thinking is that people will need to shave, smoke, and drink beer I guess. Their products...non durables, need to be replenished...

    Thought I had covered this before....Specialists!!!! (my opinion...sorry to have stepped on Dark's turf here...just couldn't resist. Good chance he may respond anyway with his own answer which will undoubtedly be the right answer) :D :D :D

    Building a new tower ???

    Just curious about this.....I have never used a Mac, and I don't have any serious plans to get one. BUT....Why are Mac users so passionate about them? What is the reason you made this statement? (excluding availability of software if that is an issue). Thanks for any input....(from anyone, if...

    Yes, curious myself.....did it have any effect at all? I don't necessarily mean that you should measure by loss or profit. Did you feel a different sense of control? That was my hope. Best of luck, and I really hope that I may have contributed some good for someone. Hope it was you. Or even...

    Excellent idea....since we hardly scratched the surface on that thread:) Hey both of you guys...dark and commisso...I feel hard pressed to come up with a new thread to evolve back to right and wrong, good and evil, and the powers that affect the universe...but stay tuned, I will think of...

    You will figure it all out over time. Just don't take anything single thing you read here and give it too much weight. There are no simple answers, and certainly any point can be argued (as we see all the time). This is what makes the market so unpredictable and difficult to trade. I would...

    Ahhhhh.....back to the beginning! I am already sorry about the coin toss question. The "justifying" the "accountability" were really my point. And I am sticking to my premise there no matter what happens with the coin toss:cool: PS: Where is Darkhorse? There is too much agreement going on...
