Tough being hard-headed enough to stay short right now. But, I'm dumber, and more pain resistent, than the more prudent trader. . . . Will add to GM short above $37 (still expect to see $30 before $40), short more DE above $46. Started new short on MMS at $27. SLM's slapping me pretty...

Great reply on evening courses!! I crammed my "first 4" (B.S.- Acctg.) into 7 years of night school! The classes were good, the eye candy nice (especially in the summer) and daytime (trading time) would be a good time for homework! Married then, and still (over 25 years later)...

It's been tough for me too. Especially lately as my 'Pair Trading' has floundered for the 1st time in over a year. I've tried the day trading and trend following. I'm just not 'smart enough' to keep up with the technical side 'real-time' to consistently make money! But, as to my 'trading...

Jordan: Thanks for the congrats. Yes, I started DE at around $50.00, averaged at $46 and took 1/2 my money when it hit $41 a month or so ago. Hope it goes even lower this time! GM's done well for you, and me, amazing when things can work on 'both sides'. Wish I'd caught CAT as you...

At the risk of 'schilling' - check out Bright's 'boot-camp' for up to 12 weeks in Las Vegas and then trade in their New York (close to Wall Street) or Long Island office. Need your own 'stake' ($25,000 minimum, recommend $50,000), lots of patience, an open mind and a tough skin. The trainers...

Yeah, I've compared a few notes with Bob. Wish I were as smart as him!! Don't have much choice, as to 'coming back', bout have to!! Thanks for the help, hope you do it even bigger

Boy, this one hurts!! Only because it's so very true. TWICE in my life at 27 and again at 43, I had over a million dollars in cash, real money, in my account(s). At 27 I made the mistake of trying to turn a $1,000,000 into $5,000,000 (what I thought was a 'true' fortune) by buying back...

DE (John Deere) is in a lot 'worst' shape than CAT, or GM. Been short, large position, in this one for over 3 months. They've got some serious problems with pensions (not as well managed as GM's pending disaster even), their sales are missing expectations (substituting financing/subsidized...

Jester's probably a good trader - he honors his stops (and his honor) quickly and firmly. I admire that, wish I were as good!!

She's never been a great 'putter'. She's usually won through precise full swing shots and intelligent shot selection. Yeah, she surprised me a bit. Especially when she was under par for a little bit! But, doen't look like 'turnabout will be fair play' for a guy to play on the girls'...

It's a 'package' - you gotta take the good with the bad!! She's in the middle of the pack. She just might make the 'cut'. We'll see. Now, if my buddies at the local golf course will just let me play from the 'Red Tees', I may have a chance with my high-handicap!! Hell, I'll even were a...

If any woman can do it, she will. I've known her, and her game, since she was in college in Tucson. She's talented, determined and never quits. It's 'wall-to-wall' coverage on USA/TV.

Right. . .right, I know you're right. . . Meanwhile, back on the ranch. . .

I sure want to believe the rally's running out of gas! But, it just keeps coming on. Makes no sense, none, . . . .

Still waiting for $30!! It'll come before $40 (my stop)!

Yeah, several years ago I had a similar plan with State Farm. It was excellent - low cost and coverage was still top knotch!! Wish they offered it in Arizona! Good-Luck

Wow, good to hear. The 1st Bright plan we contacted (18-20 months ago after I'd been there a year or so) was NOT an 'unrestricted' group plan. I got 'bumped' due to a couple of pre-existing conditions. We went with a Major Medical (high deductibles and NO paid/reimbursed office/lab visits)...

Health Insurance is the "weakest link" with the trading firms. Bright has a source they use, but, it's NOT a group policy (as of last year) and it required individual qualification, which did NOT work for us. We found a 'major medical' policy through another source, still NOT a very solid...

Mark Ritchie's book, "God in the Pits", had a profound impact on my own methods, my self-perception and my thoughts on spirituality. I found him through the "Wizards" series. Beyond that, I would LOVE a 'Where (financially and geographically) are They Now' follow-up book!! Good idea on...
