This thread still has potential. Anyone have any real life stories to tell about how you managed to 'bag the elephant'? Anyone here come up with some super creative way to grab a Gekko's attention? Whether it worked out or flopped miserably, there's no need to be shy...

It would have worked out okay this time (after a couple days of heat), but me and currencies still don't get along.

Good post, Surf! Starting some kind of relationship with an established trader is how many get their start. My biggest lucky break ever came in 1996, when I was hired to become the first clerk ever to a trader who went on to become #1 in the world at our particular niche. More Do's and...

This thread has a unique purpose that I don't believe has ever been covered before on these boards. 'Bud Foxing' is the process of trying to attract the attention of a much bigger, far more established money manager than yourself ('the Gekko'). If pulled off successfully, you end up with a...

IMO, spooz are currently overbought, but not overvalued. There's a big difference between the two. I'm not willing to position either way at this point, however.

You nailed it Blotto- Nice work!

Yeah, I just can't put on size either way in gold. Long term I'm still bearish, but the entry point to get short with any kind of size still hasn't materialized yet.

"Sorry, this is getting long again, not my thread, down periscope." My philosophy: <b>Whatever works!</b> When your comments are that good and that accurate, I wouldn't mind seeing them anywhere. So here's the deal: All I get is occasional flashes of brilliance here and there. When I try...

OK, reading a few relevant recent articles has boosted my confidence. Paulson, Blackrock, and others look to be stuck long huge gold positions...

I called the initial drop in gold , but for some reason I've had a difficult time properly re-shorting the bounce. I added a little more size today at various points, but still not nearly sized up like I was a month ago. Why doesn't gold short right now feel 'perfect' like it did a month...

Yeah, most likely he just pumps ADT again tonight, IMO. So the following is NOT a market call, but rather I'd like to direct your attention to an interesting, dramatic stock with even more near term volatility practically guaranteed: TSLA. See what's going on there? Powerful bull run for the...

Gold: Technically I'm still short, but with VERY light size. Still waiting for higher prices (or bearish confirmation) to get in for real. ADT: My entry to size back up at $42.30 was clearly wrong. I've been wondering what could have caused this problematically strong bounce, and now it...

You don't have to work hard to convince me that humans in general are nothing but articulate and well-groomed primates, barely a notch or two above chimps. We belong to a species that took 200,000 years of evolution and development until we finally collectively realized that slavery is not the...

No, I shifted to much longer time-frames instead. Quick-hits in individual equities was the entire foundation of my career in the first place, but the juicy repeating patterns went away and never got replaced by new ones.

HFT dude, here's my question for you: If all you're doing is taking gains measuring fractions of a tick out of individual stocks in split-second trades, that alone should <b>not</b> have been enough to devastate the entire game for manual equities daytraders. I mean, decent fills might have been...

SmallStops- Desperate guys with unfulfilled needs have never been known as a fountain of ethical behavior.

I appreciate all the understanding, especially from Blotto! So I just dug up that ancient post you happened to remember: 08-08-06 Ever since I decided to raise my profile by posting my numbers here, I've been getting a ton of PM's- mostly from guys who want me to teach them. Please...

Not just one though. I've seen references on TV many times regarding the concept of using various mind tricks to procure one night stands: http://www.seductionbase.com/ "The seduction community is a loose-knit worldwide group of guys who seek to seduce the hottest woman through...
