my need or not to take a 'stress pill' has nothing to do with you being a pompous ass to the other guy. i was making an observation. a valid observation. an observation that, i would imagine, 99/100 objective people would agree with (the 99/100 wouldn't need any 'luck' either). being the...

wow, you've got that whole being a complete internet dick thing down pat. congrats. just absolutely stuns me how people try to make themselves feel superior to strangers on an internet board. what's the point? seriously... you remind me of the guy the boys are battling in the south park...

WOW, did you reading comprehension fail you on that one.

radical ruinous change is what happens in times like this when change is needed but, because of dolts like you, radicals are put in power who dictate change that is not in the long term interests of the citizens of the afflicted country and is in opposition to the historic ideals of the country...

rednecks: check trailer reference: check. over the top 'ruining the country' hyperbole: check. geesh, sally, congrats- you're the prototypical cookie cutter self righteous condescending liberal. so, do you live in berkeley, SF or NYC? better be careful, if your smug cloud merges with...

thanks for taking the time to reply. you make some good points. something as obvious as your ratio of acct size to # of contracts actually kinda clicked the duh response in my brain that has been stubbornly ignoring the obvious: my acct is now 1/4 of what it was 8 months ago (how's that for...

well, you have the right handle there, sally. let me clue your 'scary dumb ass' in: those of us who have performance cars enjoy driving them. you might want to scroll up to that little Declaration of Independence quote. we're American's, not North Korean's. we have individual rights- or, at...

this is an excellent post. i, in all honesty, am a losing trader thus far in the DAX. i've played the stop game and been chopped to pieces. i've played the no stop game and had random unscheduled news events send the DAX 50 points in a heartbeat and eviscerate me (you'd think they'd even...

one of the few cnbc regulars who i had respect for. always listened when he was on. by all indications, a good man. i had no idea he was 88 years old. his mind certainly did not reveal his age. i'm somewhat shocked, and certainly saddened by his death.

i PM'd you yesterday and will look forward to your reply. do you use Pats? i've heard it's good. i have no problem paying for software. if my broker, its platform, and its server issues don't cost me money, i'll be happy. in 2008, ib issues cost me $74m in just 2 trades. add in the few...

do you use anyone else to trade and hang seng? for me, i'm not even looking for range of products. i'm simply (or not so simply, as it turns out) looking for a broker that offers the HK futures at reasonable fees given my volume, who also has a stable platform and feed (or partnerships to...

my bi-yearly search for a broker OTHER THAN INTERACTIVE BROKERS. i've posted before and had a couple of suggestions, but they were clearly not from people trading volume- as the commission rates were 2-4x those of IB- thus making it an impractical choice given my volume. right now, yet...

can't recall carrying anger over from the previous night to the point that i was in a feces mood all day and almost decided not to trade- alas, i was too on tilt already to be so rational. predictably, i spent all but the first 3 minutes in the red. had horrific lags on executions tonight that...

i knew my firewall wasn't secure- quit f-ing watching me trade!

slippery slope. once JC and his disciples figure out that the hated trader also has these tax advantages, they'll take it away. imo, it's not if at this point, it's when. of course, i'm the ONLY losing trader in ET history, so for me, it won't matter...

what a disappointment in the FAZ. friday afternoon i debated long FAZ vs short COF- went with the FAZ. given the moves today, i would have thought i'd have seen FAZ up well over 20%. combine that with me only taking a 1/3 position (was hoping for an early pop today to add another 1/3), and it...

unlike the paper trading no load mutual fund dollar cost averaging world that our mods apparently live in, tonight can't be summed up by, 'golly gee, that wasn't a walk thru the meadow, i think i need a nice tall glass of milk'. i'll do my best. i traded REALLY well and had a very good feel...

yeah, those Venezuela/Nicaragua/Brazil trading firms are world class with great commission rates and asset security. :eek:

the stimulus isn't going to push the US economy much at all- it's a liberal spending spree of biblical proportions with very little falling in 2009. China, on the other hand, their stimulus is targeted. never though China would be schooling the US in economics. i agree with you, but got to...

lol. i was going to post the same thing. oh, and... "Implied sarcasm rarely gets noticed around here. It's like 80% of ETers have autism." autism, not a laughing matter- except in this case! again, was thinking the same thing (well, except for the autism line).
