Lescor Continuing with 1 question per day routine, most people when they become successful at something, reward themselves with a material thing. I call it the corvette syndrome. Has this happened to you? I realize this has absolutely nothing to do with trading, but since it is Friday...

I am not bored and I am not asking for any strategy. I am interested whether those who print $$$ from the market do it with elaborate set ups or prefer a simple hardware configuration. I myself get by on 1 monitor + notebook and while I have been contemplating adding a 28 incher, I have yet to...

Lescor, As a successful and a long term trader, could you provide details as to what kind of set up do you use to generate profits? Are you a minimalist, that is a person who only needs 1, maximum 2 monitors or are you one of those fellas whose configuration could replace NORAD center if...

Lescor, You have mentioned that ES is the toughest place to make $$$$ consistently. Do you think that if for some reason you could no longer dabble in your current "sand box", would you switch to ES and be successful? In your circle of friends, are there long term profitable ES traders...

Operative word being HAD. Most problems that India faces have yet to be resolved, and that caste system - takes the cake.

So was eating rats

Well, if the art of wiping your ass has so far managed to elude you then it is understandable to use alternative methods. Also, it would also help to have a functional plumbing system available. As for the French they invented perfume before soap. One has only to take a snap shot of...

I feel no hate towards people from third world countries. Having said that I am tired of hearing certain groups tirades about how their country is this or that and will soon be much better than US or Western Europe. This kind of chest puffing occurs regularly in the US where most natives do not...

The Western Civilization is the foundation of our collective progress. Yes there have been other centers throughout the world, but it is clear that where we as humanity are today is because of western culture: its ability to adopt, invent, and improve. India and China are able to produce and...

I have had the same dilemma for a while. Investing money wisely is tough and could be risky. These are some of the ideas I have contemplated: 1. Commercial real estate - one of the people I know owns a 3 garage (5 bays each) which he rents out at 4K a piece. He bough it for 600K about a...

Neke is not an amateur and he has been around a block a few times. We all have taken up the ..... and such is the price for learning this craft. He needs to re group, re focus and re load. I week time off the screens would not hurt either. Neke, go easy and remember that emotions need to be...

This my be a little bit off the subject, but since you have made and continue to make $$$$ in large denominations, I wonder how and where you park your gains. I have noticed that successful traders generally avoid investing long term in what they dabble every day. What vehicles of investments...

In your trading experience, does KISS approach is one of the keys or do you have a system(s) that are so complicated and convoluted that only a few would be able to comprehend?

It is refreshing to see one of the "old dogs" contributing on ET. Looking forward to reading it and learning from the pioneers of this site.

Neke, I do not know how you do it and many a times I had mini heart attacks when your account was swinging like a monkey on a branch. Even though you do not do trading "by the books" (with averaging down and sometimes huge losses), you nevertheless come out on top at he end of the year. Good...

Capitalism at its best.

People do move on. ET is a nice place to be when one is a newbie and needs to see what this day trading is all about. After a while it gets tiresome and some what boring. I miss the old dogs that used to frequent this joint back in a day when I started reading ET. Unfortunately, many have moved...

LOL

Good year over all but I did not manage to make more than in 2008. Had one tremendous hit (38K) and many regular days. Traded in a much calmer fashion and with a better management plan. Making 1K no longer gave me a mental buzz and by the same token, giving 1K to those who at the moment had a...

fyi IT WAS 5k. I ain't poor! :mad:
