    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    Never been... ;) The FAB service leave something to be desired in Pattaya, though. Bangkok has the best hotels and meal service. Although I must admit I did not gain weight in Pattaya as I did in Bangkok, due to the quality of the meals there. Some girls there are stuck up, but if you...

    All the "top is in" threads have vanished for weeks

    Even Peter Schiff said, months ago, that this rally has legs, and may last awhile. I profit up or down, barring illiquidity, so I don't care which way it goes.

    Unemployment really at 17.2%?

    Slick Willy changed how UI figures are publically reported. 10% is his way. 17.2% is from the old way. To be honest about the numbers, the only method possible is the old way, to remain consistent and reliable over time. Even though the government purports both ways to be equal, those who know...

    Keep dreaming, hotdog, and keep your spreadsheet fantasies alive. Doing so entertains the rest of us. LOL

    People who claim impossibility are frequently interrupted by those doing it. That system you referred to, without respect, just capped a nice monthly ROR of 3x. Keep talking, turkey. Time is on my side. And in a year, you'll still be sitting here wondering what the hell went wrong with your...

    taleb luck in action: two poor cave dwelling brothers inherit billions

    Your comparison of scale is invalid. It is just as easy to blow billions as millions. So say the billionaires. The problem of waste is not a number, but the mind. Given mental fixations are the issue, and not money, the dollar amount means nothing. Not what Mike Tyson, Wacko Jacko and dozens...

    The Apocalyptic Depression of the 21st century

    I prefer the 45 and 762 forms, which were both stocked prior to buying even one ounce of gold. To those bent in the positive toward being prepared: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT-8k7uyoDE

    Trump: Time to Force Banks to Start Lending

    If govt were actually bent on fixing the problems... Lend money to rebuild America's manufacturing power, with American employees, in American factories IN AMERICA, in real living-wage jobs that last as long as the worker remains an able and willing worker (ala 1950), under strict...

    taleb luck in action: two poor cave dwelling brothers inherit billions

    Sounds like a damned movie concept... Instant billionaires running ads on international TV for brides... Watch them lose it all in ten years and wind up in bankruptcy court, then divorce court, with alimony and child support in the millions, with nothing to pay or earn with. No, I am not joking.

    taleb luck in action: two poor cave dwelling brothers inherit billions

    Someone better get those boys into some wealth management training ASAP, or the number of gold-digging bimbos and unknown relatives coming out of nowhere will drain them dry, in no time. Lesson #1: Tithe off-the-top to your church. Lesson #2: Never wear your wealth for all to see. Lesson...

    Entry point what's going though your mind?

    1. Hope has no place in trading. In a superior system valid for today, the expectation of the trader should be that this trade may win or lose, but X times out of Y, it will win, so today's results really don't matter much in the life of the system. 2. I really don't care. It is always nice...

    secrets of traders

    Looks like the guy's boxes broke, and he is looking for new systems. Fair enough. Why would anyone with a successful system need LL to make money? Sales pitch. Well, no shit. LL recommends anyone having developed a superior system also have a background in trading. Whodu thunkit...

    The Apocalyptic Depression of the 21st century

    Gold (bullion, not stock) will outlive the US currency, and continue outperforming the US currency, until I cash my gold out... but never again into a depreciating asset like US currency. :)

    Let's look at that closer: I am forward testing a strategy live You are testing an unknown strategy with cash and not in sim. I applaud your candor, but your choice should condemn your pride to ever do that again. If not, you are a cracked account just waiting for a place to happen...
