    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...I completely misunderstood your previous post. I assumed that in 1959 you were the manager of a baseball team and that you were trading actual players, not their baseball cards. Alas, that is far from the first time that a patient has misrepresented his significance to me. But no matter, your...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...thank you for enlightening me on the arithmetic of posts. That means that the number of viewers might be of the same order of magnitude as the number of variables in my too-few-degrees-of freedom trading systems. [ :D ] As long as I am here, I might as well comment upon my research this...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...let me say at the outset that it is so refreshing to correspond with a person here who has the courage to post under his own name. Judging from the trading example you offer us for psychological analysis, you are a person of some repute. Making a rough estimate of your age, it would appear...

    ...as a lifelong practitioner of the arts of self-understanding, it would be my great pleasure to assist you in your campaign to eradicate stupidity. Bear in mind, however, that as we say here in Texas, "Truly stupid people don't know that they are". ET therefore was probably a poor choice of...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...please accept my most profound apologies upon my lapse from strictly professional decorum. From my limited experience of the cyberspace personality, I was not mentally prepared baldly to accept a post literally for what it said. You are indeed "the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness"...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...thank you you for your polite reply. You must indeed be a rod of iron if you have issues of self control but do not allow this to affect your trading. You are not giving me much to work with here, but could it be that you exercise supreme will in your trading, but allow yourself the outlet of...

    ...how embarrassing. My own sainted putative father (one never knows), a chief gunnery officer during the Great war, evaded service in the Pacific in order to service naive country girl telephone operators at the Norfolk naval base. I was regrettably not aware that Pelileu was in the Palau...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...I myself do not have much experience of "ladies of the night", but I am given to understand that these generous ladies, by convention, refer to their clients as "John". As to the "Q", common decency forbids me to speculate. The "Public", however, is so close to its slip of the tongue...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...I am appropriately chastened by your reminder of my bigoted Caucasian ethnocentric bias. The island of Palau has the distinction of being one of the few Pacific Edens which the Jap-Annies did not want and did not invade, and which my noble American ancestors in the U.S. Navy (highly cultured...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...as of the time of this post, I see 114 views, but NO responses! Surely those who daily execute "longs", "shorts", "strangles", "spreads" and "straddles" shamelessly are not so inhibited that they cannot respond! Voyeurs! Peepers! Cowards! Daytraders! Or perhaps outside RMH you have to get it...

    Ask Dr. Deco

    ...your response to me (quickly and wisely deleted), exhibits a lack of confidence that is most distressing. For those of you not quick enough to have caught his now-deleted post, Sulong (Not Su Long? Talk to me, you need to approach smaller women!) questioned an innumeracy (since corrected) in...

    Dear gentle ET readers: I have completed my in-depth assessment of the results of the statisticosociologicopsychodynamicogynecological experiment which I and my grossly underpaid graduate student assistants conducted at: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23517...

    At first when I started reading the posts at large on ET for the first time earlier today, I was stuck by the extraordinarily uncommon names of the posters, naively thinking that they were actual names. How foolish of me. Now I realize that when people are free to be autonomous (literally, "self...

    May I call you "Dog"? I feel as if we already are friends. In addition to my full-time stewardship of the impostor poster (imposter postor?, it is sooo late in the day here in New Jersey, and past time for my afternoon visit to the pharmacy), I am further enjoined by my Director to serve as...

    Unfortunately, Dr. Emeritus has gone corpus dilecti, as they say. He hurriedly left the premises, reportedly after practically ripping the day room computer out of the wall. He was last seen hurling it into the trunk of his car, muttering something that sounded to the gardener like "Brilliant...
