    SARS stocks

    Well, wouldn't an obvious place to look be companies that manufacture drugs and diagnostic equipment? I mean, it's as though as there are companies out there that deal solely with SARS, as in a SARS-R-US. ps - Sorry I, can't help, you lojze. But I, am, intrigued by the, logic, of your...

    ET's most intelligent members

    LOL. Damn you can be funny sometimes! :)! I think even RS would be laughing at this one! (And what's up with "Error404"? I thought he was supposed to be going back to RS7 after the summer? Can this guy ever get his story straight! :))

    marketsurfer's must read books

    Thanks rich. I just read the "Look Inside" and it looks to be a good one. As far as market books go, undoubtedly my favorite is, "The Money Game", by Adam Smith.

    marketsurfer's must read books

    Fourty-eight? Damn, I always thought there were only thirty-seven! Hmm, maybe that is why I haven't been able to become the next Pol Pot yet.

    Nearly Random Entry vs a High Probability Entry

    It doesn't necessarily have to be that way. Damir didn't say he could make money doing anything, just that he could enter the market randomly. So, depending on what sort of money management methodology he's using, it might not be the case that he can just enter as many trades as he can cram...

    S&P looks good to a new high

    [/b] Of course Romeo is only posting in fun. (God help him if he's taking himself seriously!). However, (doing my very best to stay on topic here, inandlong!), I'm really surprised that inandlong doesn't consider boasting about oneself to be petty. I think most people would generally...

    Worst market order fill

    Geez, that's a pretty extreme example! That was a "simulated" market order, I take it? Man, I'd be pretty pissed about that. On ORCL, or any liquid Naz, why not just put a limit in, say, .50, from the market? Surely you'd get filled. I've had a couple of stop orders (nyse) filled for...

    the life cycle of hedge funds

    That's a good point, Aaron. However, there were still at least hundreds (and I'll have to check, but I'm quite sure more than 1000) of hedge funds and CTAs during the 80s (and I'm pretty many more created from 1990-93), so the fact that hedgefunds that have been around more than 10 years being...

    How long before you were breaking even?

    Hi LL. :) Umm, actually, that question isn't as unambiguous as you think. Not to me, anyway. I think there's two kinds of "breakeven", and I'm not sure which you're talking about. Let me explain. Firstly, let's accept that a new trader will lose money on beginning trading. So...

    Trading Methods?

    Wow, looks way different to the pic in the book jacket! Personally, I think the bearded look suited him better; looked much more like a "real" scientist. :) (Imagine what a trader this guy must be! He could be giving himself one of those "Ultimate Trader" programs every three...

    Where are most Prop Traders?

    Only one I've heard of that doesn't is that GreenTea(Tree?) outfit. Better check it out to make sure you're on the safe side of the law, though. Series 7 looks ee-zee. (I read my brother's study manuals when he was taking it; not really very much to do with trading, but looks a piece of...

    Trading Methods?

    Fear not, all is not lost yet! You still haven't tried Brandon F's TradingFrom MainSt.Com, Teresa Lo's website, Walther's (amazing) "Trading Times" or Don "King" Bright's (yes!, the real Don Bright; not an alias) Trading Tours. I'm sure one of them will have the answer you're looking for! Go...

    the life cycle of hedge funds

    That's what I think. To all those who disagree, quick, off the top of your head, tell me all the funds you know of who've been around for longer than 10 years?

    looking for an asian market to trade

    Well (now that you've conquered the US markets :)) you're really spoilt for choice there, Gekko: Japan or Hong Kong, take your pick.

    pizza guy that blew up

    OH - MY - GOD ! Wow! That is just, like, SO A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I don't know about you guys, but I couldn't think of any possible better use of my time than scouring the net searching for off the wall "news" items to discuss with my "friends" on ET! Nosiree! So, did he want to rob...

    Handling Skepticism from Loved Ones

    Okay, I'll take your word for it. This wasn't the topic of your thread, but I since I already brought it up: it's still my opinion that someone who was truly certain that somebody else's opinion of them/their activities would not affect them would not even bring the subject up. I know you...

    Is NQ liquid enough to scalp 10 contracts ?

    Excuse the "crap", but I think a joke has a right to be acknowledged as damn funny. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but this one's had me steadily laughing for the past five minutes. :)
