I don't know how many times this has been expressed and in how many ways. It is my belief that any trader that can just manage to stay even, let alone be profitable after only a few months is showing great promise. Washington, you are obviously doing things right, staying disciplined, timing...

Very true....and we don't have to look to the 70's for this either. I recently came across an old issue of PC Magazine. Dell had their back page fold out ad for the "new pentium 60". What they did not have was a web address. This was from the ancient year 1993. CNBC (fnn) did not have "real...

I hope Don can give more insight than I. I have not seen a market like this before. I started trading in 1979 right about the time of the taking of hostages in Tehran. At that time, energy stocks were very strong. I bought some drilling and oil stocks, learned about options (I thought I...

was thinking exactly the same thing, and was about to write it, and I got to this. Bung, you are on the money once again!!!

Don't forget the flouride in the water supply. Time to call Dr. Strangelove back into service!!! :eek:

one of the best things about trading at home (which I don't always do...I switch back and forth between home and office), is playing along to the music (guitar...electric, usually not plugged in). Tried it at work...never got a great reception:(

I moved from Vegas a while ago. I didn't love it. The houses in your post look like attractive buys, but don't forget the main law of real estate. These houses are on the east side. Not the most desireable neighborhoods. I am not positive of the exact locations, and the surrounding areas...

I was a market maker at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. My position was to act in the capacity as an “upstairs trader” for a corporation that generated income from speculating in option positions. Primarily, their objective was to “sell premium”….mostly short combinations. The...

A firm I worked for did ongoing studies. The vast majority of profits did indeed come from a very small percentage of the trades. Based solely on relative strength, almost ALL the money was made in positions taken in stocks showing relative strength over 80 in longs and under 20 in shorts. The...

good one!:)

Ok, not a movie, and not truly about trading; but maybe somewhat relevant to this thread. Here is my "off the wall pick": The Taxi episode where they all get fired and Louie (de Vito) becomes a stock broker. Really funny, and yeah, he made some trades. The episode far preceeded "Wall Street"...

You are right of course. My error. Wrong forum. Should be Chit Chat for sure!!! Also you are correct about the "superstition" thing getting off course. Certainly went in a direction I never anticipated....or wanted to see. Tried to steer it back to it's original concept too many times. Got...

Some things are not explainable. Some things are not within the realm of possible calculation. Here we have both. Between zero and infinity lie many possibilities. What were the odds that Ted Williams last at bat would be a home run? I hope Dark re-considers. He will be missed by me for one!

Ditto the above for me, Darkhorse. (however, i think you need to stop by and browse if you don't want to contribute. I need your feedback sometimes. Just PM me....don't make me go through cold turkey darkhorse withdrawal.) Also, congrats on hitting 1000 posts. Also, I said I was gone, but I...

PE....maybe, but isn't that restricting freedom of expression? (Plus the fact you make a valid point along with the picture):)

I do not want to create any more monsters. I hope this thread ends in 2 or 3 posts. But I am curious why the one I started on "superstition, Voodo, luck" has been closed. Not that it didn't get off track, but if people stayed interested, why close it? Was it just too much of a back and forth...

The following is from my first post in this thread.....so I feel great I accomplished what I set out to do. Thanks for validating my efforts and hopes! Just keep the "love" stuff figurative my man.....:) .

Too funny!

Hey, how soon is "eminent"? Not a time frame I am familiar with. But anyway, thanks for the "pick me up"! Always nice to call it a day on a cheerful note:(
