    What do you tell your friends who don't have a clue...

    That's a damn good point actually. Seriously. Even though his one time contribution is not a serious factor in our daily quest, if we try to disuade all un-educated participants from partaking in their "investing", where would that leave the rest of us. As a matter of fact, I do believe my...

    What do you tell your friends who don't have a clue...

    I have a couple of friends who make great money as construction contractors, and who follow the market somewhat. One of them gets a couple of news letters every quarter and believes most of what he reads. My problem is this. This good friend, who calls mortgage brokers WHORES because of the...

    Merck Award

    Well, unfortunately some attorneys are very good at convincing juries, that the reward to the plaintif is not important. It's the dent the reward will put in the "BIG BAD GREEDY COMPANY" which is important. They tell the jury that 25 mil just won't teach the company a lesson, so the bigger...

    CNBC - Cramer's Mad Money

    Sure can. Just like Dan Dorfman in '95-96. Sue hererra would say he was coming up after the comercial break and people would hurt themselves running to their desks. Ah, the good old days before the really good old days.

    Brings up a question. How many of the guys (or ladies) we've read about over the last 15 years are actually doing well?

    ADI isn't a real good example because you could've gotten out with a relatively small loss of 10 - 15 cents. A better example would be when your short gets filled and it screams against you in a hurry. That does happen, and, I think it was last thursday when I got smoked in two trades like...

    Where in gods name did you get that OPG players are going for a .04 target? I agree that there would be no point in it if that were the case. I started the stategy in january with small size to get the hang of it, and gradually increased size, Because I CONSISTENTLY MAKE MONEY DOING IT...

    snowwy66, go to don bright's earliest posts on opening orders, and you'll get the jist of it. Mschey, I understand that no news is good news on OPG, otherwise the news will skew the FV of the stock. It seems as though there is statistical probabilities (reversion to the mean) combined with...

    Don's openings and more for 2005

    I've been trading for 8 years but just started the OPG strategy two weeks ago. I've had a very good start (not a losing day yet on OPG), but my envelopes were a % at first (.4%), and have gradually gotten tighter just to get more fills. I feel like I'm playing with fire when I change my...

    THE MARKET WIZARD THREAD

    From what I've heard, I'm not sure he adhered to that philosophy in the later years, but trading less and working harder was definitely stressed in the interview.

    Need Help of a trading community.

    Please disregard my last post. The entire text of your q wasn't there yet. just the subject line. This guy just seems like a dickhead. It's not your fault the guy has issues with his dad. I just went to the website to check it out, and I almost expect to see some paid programming for this...

    Tight Stops

    Dado, I just read your original post to this thread (sorry, I don't mean to get back to the original point or anything), and it seems the two are mathematically equal. Is it a matter of slippage because of the bigger size? thanks.
