    Ayn Rand and trading...

    Like I said, I'm only 50 pages in. I'm impressed with her writing style so far. As far as the library of congress survey goes, I don't consider that to be a good thing.

    Ayn Rand and trading...

    Damn. I just started reading it. It reads like very good poetry so far. (about 50 pages in) But this makes me want to put it down and reread something from George Will or Limbaugh. :( Regardless, it will not change my trading.

    Throwing in the towel before I even traded 1 share

    Oh absolutely, but you just need to realize that a love for the markets will possibly, eventually get you those things. Focusing on material things first will lead you to take trades you shouldn't be taking, and keep you from getting those things. Kind of a crazy paradox, ain't it? :cool:

    Throwing in the towel before I even traded 1 share

    If this is not a joke, then you should not be trading in the first place. The life of a trader, a profitable trader, has nothing to do with showing off for the ladies, or acting cool at parties. It has to do with having a passion for markets, and loving the potentially agonizing learning...

    Shitty day plagued with system issues. I assume they'll be resolved for tomorrow.

    Trader P/L 2009

    OK I'm in. Someone told me consistency is as impressive as big numbers. (It's up for debate, but I know what they meant) Also, after looking at last years thread, I saw some consistent growth from when I started posting to when I stopped. So here I go. The goal for the year is to...

    So you're quoting a "high level Indian Army source" on ET?

    War started India & Pakistan

    Ditto. The above article is the same one I posted a while ago. Real deal? Yes? No? Seems like a "no" so far.

    Please help me undersatnd USO

    Depends on how you bring up the chart. On a think or swim 60 min, it's obvious how the USO was up today. But if you bring up a daily, it shows the WED close higher than today's close. Not accurate. Look at different timeframes, as it is definitely deceiving.

    Talknet, where did you hear, see this? Nothing on mainstream so far. Thanks.

    What's your favorite bird?

    Well, you have to understand that the only reason we put the position on in the first place, is for the gamma scalp, and also, we take the position off before theta becomes an issue. For example, if theta is currently -200, and we're confident that we'll pull in 400/day through gamma scalps...

    Being happy with life....

    OK, I'm bored on a Friday night like you, hence my reply to your other thread. 1. I'd rate this a 7 out of 10. 2. 9 out of 10 3. I constantly question this. When friends ask what I do, I've given up on the whole "providing liquidity" angle, and have resorted to simply saying that I...

    New Years Resolution: No more IB

    Yep, definitely not the same guy.

    What's your favorite bird?

    Not necessarily. For instance (and I don't care if I give anything away here), we've been looking at a March UYG B-fly with extra wings. We've decided not to go front month on the wings because of theta, therefore everything was going to be strictly March. And we also plan on taking it off...

    New Years Resolution: No more IB

    As much as I know and respect the owner of Cobra, (no I don't trade with them) I have to say this looks a tad obvious. Port, your name isn't Chad, is it?
