Maybe I'll have what he's having.

Pressure cooker to the rescue. 15lbs for 45 minutes, on the rack with only a couple cups of water. Save the water/drippings. Chill the meat, remove from bone if present, slice it thin at an oblique angle to the grain. peel and slice a big onion longways. Chop one bunch of celery. Quarter two...

Oh, forgot about Bulleit. Try that one. You might like that one straight up. Very sharp and assertive. I believe the mash bill is 95% rye. Most ryes are about 40% corn these days.

I am not much on pricey single batches, or bourbon distillers who decide they will try to get on the rye bandwagon. The one exception to both rules is Knob Creek, a straight small batch rye made by Jim Beam. Pikesville, and Whistle Pig, are pretty good brands, also. I buy Old Overholt or Sazerac...

Rye is to Bourbon, what Bourbon is to Canadian.

For me, no caffeine after my morning quad shot cappuccino. Unless I have a splash of diet coke in my evening rye. Usually though, my evening libation is an old fashioned, or a manhattan, or in winter sometimes a hot toddy. A Sazerac once in a while. An evening cocktail while watching a Dark...

Quite right, I agree 100%. The carrot and the stick are powerful learning aids, and paper trading offers no rewards and no consequences. But there are other differences as well from live trading. Order execution is very different. You can buy in to crazy big positions in paper trading on even...

ARGH. I was afraid of that. I got stuck holding 7800 shares (paper trading. Whew!) of DF overnight. Dropped to $1.12 and I took a $3700 loss on it. Another lesson learned, thankfully in paper trading. WATCH THE CLOCK!!! I was so wrapped up in the TVIX action that I was blissfully unaware of the...

@Sig, you are quite right that too many guys blame everyone but themselves for their failures as a trader or investor. I can't argue with that. And those who can't face their own failures and weaknesses will never be able to properly address and correct them. I think maybe insiders (not just...

It is delusional to imagine that front running never occurs. It would be a simple matter for some criminal to develop influence over a broker through various methods, and there would be no obvious tie between broker and the other guy, who would then have access to selected order information a...

You need to make books and DVDs (sold as sponsored content on Amazon of course) to steer noobs to your for-pay chat room, where you pump and dump low float stocks of forgotten companies. In doing so, you get to victimize decadent capitalists and charge them for the privilege and sell them more...

Way cool. Thanks for the tip.

Well, the nice thing about trading between ships instead of staying on the beach permanently and trading, is if you wreck your first account, you can simply save and scrounge and in a half year or a year you are capitalized again. Sailing is a great fallback career for however long it will take...

Just paper trading today. Waiting for a check to clear into my bank so I can shoot some dough into my IB account, and then I will be fully funded for day trading. Meanwhile I am fiddling around with stuff and paper trading and I was so busy with managing 4 to 6 positions at once I couldn't fix...

Oh I never would have thought of that. Surprised that either brokerage would allow it, actually. I might have to take another look at TOS, then. Kinda miffed that TWS does not have a proper VWAP indicator, among other minor irritations, though overall it is a good platform. So I could just put...

Retired SIU Bosun here. Trading is a good activity between ships, and if you can keep your expenses down (single, no car note, minimal housing expenses, no big credit card bills) you should be able to fully fund ($25k plus a little cushion, to be able to daytrade stocks) an account in a year...

Indeed it is. In fact I think TOS is maybe a slightly better platform than TWS, but I think maybe IB is a slightly better broker for day trading than TDAmeritrade. So for me it was kind of a tossup but I went with IB/TWS in the end. Being a Linux user, IB or TDAmeritrade were really my only...
