    Why don't I just load everything up SPXL?

    Trading on retrospect isn't trading. You're just reinforcing a really bad habit. That of chasing a moving target with no plan whatsoever. It's wrong, wrong, wrong. Even if it works temporarily. What is the reason for getting into a trade like this in the first place? There isn't one. And price...

    How many of you guys do this as a career?

    Look, I don't feel like talking about myself right now. But I have to say, if you are consistently losing then you need to stop, at least temporarily. It's been my experience that people who lose want to lose, deep down. There's no excuse for it after awhile. Pause, regroup. You may find that...

    Suicide And Trading

    Kurt Vonnegut wrote about smoking in the preface to one of his novels. He said that people used to tell him he should quit smoking, otherwise he was going to die early. He would tell them that that was precisely the reason he kept smoking, because he wanted to die.

    cnbc/cramer hit new low

    Once I looked at the Cramer phenom in terms of entertainment, it became clear. He's sort of a bad magician who consults the crystal ball in various forms. It's really captivating to certain people who don't trade with any particular method--most investors. More and more I see him as the P.T...

    Discipline

    Right. It's like trying to build a house and loving your hammer only. It's your mind that is the most important tool. And through it inspiration and other good things.

    Discipline

    I tend to see it more as taking advantage of change and the opportunity that naturally arises. I see lots of people disciplined about the wrong things. I see people obsessed with money who have forgotten how to think clearly--People who cannot enjoy the simple things in life that are right in...

    cnbc/cramer hit new low

    Blaming it on the market doesn't seem consistent with taking responsibility for your trades. But its probably what most of his viewers want to hear. So I'm guessing that's why he said it

    Discipline

    Dude, maybe a little work ala miles on the open road? It's the best therapy. Once you get diesel in your blood there's no getting rid of it. Maybe that's the problem--you're low on diesel.

    The key question now is what is the proper name or cause of this recent drop?

    I think this should be called the Chicken Little Drop. And I really might enjoy it more if they would stop bringing the scary bears out of hibernation. Up is good, down is bad. I get it already. The first guy who celebrates the fact that change is good and creates opportunity for the swift and...

    Narcissism

    My reflection in the mirror isn't me, and my belief about the market isn't the market.

    Interesting Start To 2016... "sort of" like 2008?

    The money markets froze up in late 07 I believe, then the markets went on to make a new high. You also had sky high gasoline prices for quite a while which was squeezing consumers at precisely the wrong time. You're just not seeing the same type of horrendous things happening now. Traders are...

    ES Using PA $1500 Sim Account

    OK I'm going to sit in the penalty box for four minutes on a double minor--third man in. I'll have to keep my mouth shut that long, which will be the hardest part. Anyway, welcome to ET and hope you get it.

    Oil Rig Count and Predicting a Rebound

    Trying to think of an equity play. The storage biz doesn't seem like a very high margin play. But that article does at least point to the silver lining behind this cloud. I wonder if demand will drop or at least fail to meet expectations based on the correction in China.

    Oil Rig Count and Predicting a Rebound

    Wow, so much I didn't know. But aren't we relevant as far as production? At least until we dropped enough to throttle supply. Maybe weren't is a better word.
