This is why I wish I could get a job in Hawaii. Does anyone out there have a job for me in Hawaii (that is legal)? :-) I hate having to choose between steady income and the market, but I live in the wrong time zone.

I don't think this guy has a hidden agenda. I think he's just very happy that TS has met his needs on a number of levels. I've found his advice, even when presented in a contrarian tone, to be worth its weight in gold. His advice, for me as a recently heavy user of TS, has been the difference...

Yep. I don't use multicharts anymore. For the one thing MC was better at than TS, I just wrote that piece in C++ on my own. I couldn't justify the expense. I know for other guys it makes sense, but I'm just a small-time retail trader with a small account trying to educate myself about...

You could always "lose it all" in a gambling accident in another country, I suppose. Then shove it in a foreign account somehow. They'll garnish wages, but you can just go where they have no collection mechanisms in place (third world.)

It's not a lead we couldn't overtake. Robotics would need to be incentivized somehow. But Twitter and Facebook get millions while control systems guys make like 60k starting out, and maybe 100k with a graduate degree. Robotics are incentivized in our country though, but mostly for defense.

Tell you what. You bankroll my research for this + pay any student loans/debt of mine, and I'll go make one of these. My engineering degree pays the bills, but not if I got a job building these things. Navigating venture capitalist sharks, crooked professors, and other thieving engineers is...

Just personal biases. I try not to eat other mammals, because I think their brain structure is similar to mine for processing emotions like fear. I kind of think I'm a little disgusted when people say "it tastes good", because I kind of think that if human meat tasted good, a lot of Americans...

Interesting. I've never been able to bring myself to trade pork or cattle. Would love to short those markets out of existence, if possible. I was hoping the carbon trading markets growing would make those industries less profitable, but that hasn't happened.

Gulf coast crisis and all. What's affected?

I'm just curious how they got a wiretap on this guy. Talk about a police state. And the guy spoke about the code on the phone? Damn.

I'm currently hoping to run this strategy through May before scaling up. I'm not sure how aggressive I will post about what I am doing through May because I'm looking for short-term software contracting work. It's nice to make some small money on the side, but I'm not confident in scaling up...

+$53.72 I have a massive headache and don't have the energy to watch the market, so I'm just closing out my profitable position and calling it a day. Closing out this week as profitable. One of my baskets is acting wonky; I think I'm going to remove it from the mix.

+$13.19 I was up around $70 today when I got caught long in HAL. It was part of a group of stocks I was trading, and I noticed it was way out of line with its peers. I cut this thing as soon as it looked suspicious and it was the right decision, because it proceeded to drop 11%. I don't...

Why HAL, though? I don't see a ticker reference.

Shorted that thing for a small scalp, but got out quickly. Just wanted to recoup the loss on a spread bet. Someone is selling this thing with a vengeance.

I guess the news on KBR => someone in the sector just wants out of these stocks.

Why is this thing selling off like crazy?

I have CNBC on during the day, just to catch wind of crazy big news events. But is it me, or have these guys just become less professional and casual over the past few years? It feels less like a professional news network and more like an amateur's Youtube video. I'm a little disturbed by...

Perhaps life itself is happening inside a giant simulator, and that when we die, all of our pnl is just fake. We are all really paupers eating mud outside of the life-simulator.

+$168.95 No losers today on ~2300 shares. I turned off a lot of signals because of earnings, but they seemed to make $ also (on paper). I'm just more comfortable avoiding news, although I traded through the fed announcement today. Btw, if there's any confusion, I am not on a simulator...
