    Will you teach your children to trade?

    Leave it to you my friend ... :) :) :) Perhaps both parents can become involved...a real family business. Actually I wanted to poll this question first, but I goofed up and couldn't delete it. So I will do it again and submit the poll too.

    Will you teach your children to trade?

    Not so long ago the father would teach his children his craft. I have a 4 year old son and a two year old daughter. When they are old enough to begin understanding earning money, I will begin to teach them my "craft". My craft is so simple they can already do the entry. :) But I want...

    what do you say when people ask you for tips/advice?

    Uptik I recall from the trading room that you were a broker before, as I was. Of course in your day you had quotrons. In mine we used a chalkboard. :D I had similar experiences as you described. When the client made money, they were brilliant for having followed my recommendation. When they...

    Post your prediction for the Dow!

    Very nice thoughts on re-indexing. And particularly the thoughts about Tobacco and HMO's. PG will still be there as will MMM. Defensive stocks. You know, when all else goes bad, people will still smoke, drink, eat, and wash.... probably in that order of necessity.

    what do you say when people ask you for tips/advice?

    Before the meltdown, I used to get asked if I had any hot tips. I always said "put your money in a blue chip mutual fund." Recently two of my neighbors asked about specific stox they hold, one was ADP and the other was CAH. ADP was at 52 and I said get out b/c I thought it was going to 43 or...

    Satellite Broadband

    I had DirecWay for three weeks. Got rid of it. The "latency" issue bugged me. There was such a difference b/t that and cable. Even ET didn't run as well. I did survive one very bad local thunderstorm with it, but I understand snow is a major problem. For remote locatons that cannot get...

    Post your prediction for the Dow!

    I suspect that you regularly use the Elliot Wave to time your trading activities. I recognize Elliot Wave theory as a legitimate means by which to predict market direction. Therefore, inasmuch as your call was based on Elliot Wave Theory, it is substantiated. Please, let's not allow this...

    Post your prediction for the Dow!

    My purpose in deflating the obvious joke was to keep the thread on track by circumventing the abundance of good humor always available on ET. Participants like yourself who have a substantiated opinion are extremely valuable. The unknowns such as a reverse split, or major restructuring of...

    Trailing stop

    Cyber has a feature that lets you enter the stoploss into the platform, but only activates when the market reaches it. You lose any seniority you might have had, but you are relieved from wondering if you were picked off.

    Opening IB account. Trade PLan?

    Also wanted to mention that I disagree with a new trader daytrading. Gone are the fast days of lifting the offer only to see it lifted higher. Of course your method is an overniter, which I do agree with. Just keep your position small while your pocket is small. There is too much to think...

    Post your prediction for the Dow!

    Let me deflate the obvious joke..."yeah right gnome...if you're 95 now, you might be right." Okay, that's over with, thanks for the call gnome. I know there are wave counters here besides you. Very interesting!

    Are Traders Ethical

    Chasinfla... it is remarkable how many of today's sayings are straight from Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. The one you posted is one of my favorites. Although, I bet not many people who are broke ever use it. :)
