I hear you on that. 2 completely different things. I'm not trying to be a wiseass, but with your site what exactly are you selling? Is it actual trades or is it your commentary on what's going on in the market. If it is actual trades do you have past records of previous trades? If not I think...

The problem with these"calls" is Surf most likely doesn't have a real position on here. So who really gives a shit. Surf's a nice enough guy and entertaining. But he can say short Shak at 70, watch it go to 95, claim he got out, short it again at 80, watch it go to 50, then 100. All it ends up...

What about people who try and sell their ideas on websites? You a fan of them ?

This is somewhat of a crock of shit. There are guys down here who you wouldn't believe are running big funds, trading huge accounts who keep very low profiles. I ain't naming names, but the ones I know about are far from the loud mouth "look at me" blowhards who seek recognition. Trading...

I agree. I honestly have never felt any kind of shame or embarrassment. Even when I started out in the biz and clerked for traders who spent half their day trying to find new ways to screw with the new guys. Once in a while when out with friends will run into someone who will question what I do...

I've been trading for 20+ years. Most people I have met are either very intrigued, some jealous, some impressed that I can handle the pressure/day to day roller coaster of being a trader.. I think the worst thing I have run onto is "oh...you gamble for a living". Proper job? Like sitting in...

I hear ya Baron. But like you said in the other thread...people looking for help/advice need to put in the time in. Research on here and find people/poster they enjoy reading and want feedback from. The people who come on here and post a one sentence thread starter that say "Tall me how to make...

The guy who I traded for at the fund (VN fan) told me about Altucher's book at the time. I thought there was some very good info there. I liked reading the guy's stuff back then. But he really seemed to change his tone and now comes across as pissed at the world. His whole whining about how...

Man...what happened to this guy? He comes off as a real pissed off mad at the world type. Years ago I read his "Trade like a hedge fund" book. I actually thought it was good. But the last few times I have read something about him he comes off as a whiner. Always complaining. He comes across as...

Would stay away from paying someone. Too many con artists out there who can't trade at all but claim they can. My advice as far as on ET? Find the posters on here you believe have something valuable to say and ask them. If they are decent guys they will respond. If they are pricks you will...

If you judge success on the number of posts then I agree......I will stop there and leave it at that. Your content......................well.............................. How about them Mets?

I laugh when I see these guys whine that day trading is a waste. Most likely they failed at it and now must become haters because they couldn't hack it. I know plenty of day traders who still do very very well. Have been for a long time. The ones who failed most likely failed because their...

It almost became a reality on here because of you. LOL

I agree to join a prop firm that does offer some type of training (preferably one that backs people, not the churn and burn type that you mention). But to be honest those days seem long gone. 10-15 years ago there were a lot of them around. Ones with a lot of capital. The real firms that back...

You think that this is long and winded? Go read The Surf Report Volume 1. I'm surprised he didn't crash Baron's server.

I think he's 25 bid. He must know something we all don't know about the contents of their burgers...

I worked for the guy about 10 years ago. About halfway through my trading career. Was a very good learning experience....in many ways. And he was a big fan of VN's work, but he was turned off by the whole ego thing (especially in VN's book). Hey...I hope you are right from a trading standpoint...

Too bad. He was a pretty funny dude. His options threads though seemed to be very popular. Certainly seemed to know his stuff.

Is a nice gift Surf........if it was given to you in 1986. But might come of good use to you in Florida. Take it with you if you need to go outside during a hurricane. Zero chance of you getting blown away with that anchor in your grasp.

Hollywood. Makes total sense. Those type of people seem to enjoy those things.
