Who are you people and where do you come from? I'm tired of doing this but I must respond to your ridiculous post. I was going to send you a private message in response to your last equally ridiculous post about the SEC and CFTC telling you how ridiculous it was and telling you it wasn't...

You know, you posted your post at 11:49 PM. I wasn't around to respond to it. But the post right after your post asking for verification said: "the guy who said that crabel blew up and was living off selling his books on ebay was obviously joking .... crabel didn't blow up, he's alive and well...

It's called humor. Are you kidding me with your posts? Get real and get a life. I don't believe you contacted Mr. Crabel and/or sold your copy of the book for $150. If you did either that was very foolish on your part. My post was obviously intended as total off the wall humor and satire for...

Here's Mark Cook's story of blowing up his own account that should be required reading by all hedge fund managers and all full time traders for that matter. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=157634&highlight=Mark+Cook#post157634 Also there's a book I just bought called...

Good points. And in regards to LTCM, it turned out that given a little more time, a few months, they would have made money on their positions rather than blowing up. This is undoubtedly why Warren Buffet was interested. He knew. They just couldn't handle the massive drawdown. And this is why a...

Most of these links etc are redundant from another thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10710 but it's cool. Actually, as it turns out, Toby's hedge fund blew up and he's now forced to earn a living hyping his book here at ET and then selling them at eBay and Amazon...

ROFL Too Funny :D You had to have been actively involved in the threads to appreciate the humor if you don't. Membership has its privileges. :) Don't worry about it Baron. No Problem. Refreshing to know that I'm not the only one with comp problems. :) Lots of the people in the mIRC trading...

LOL :D Too funny. It was fun following the thread though. :D Ha. Also it seemed to me you might have problems actually getting fills in the real world depending on what you were trading and at what size. The other thing is, as far as I know the REAL HOLY GRAIL can only be purchased on eBay and...

You're welcome BTW here's the page for Trading in the Zone from Elite Trader's online bookstore in case anyone's interested. Shameless spam. But for a good cause. :D Ha http://www.invest-store.com/cgi-bin/elitetrader-bin/redir.cgi?moreinfo.cgi?item=11833

"Casinos make consistent profits day after day...facilitating an event that has a purely random outcome. At the same time, most traders believe that the outcome of the markets' behavior is not random, yet can't seem to produce consistent profits... Here's what makes thinking in...

Haven't been but I agree with you about Trading in the Zone. Great book. I did hear Mark give a keynote speech at the Online Trading Seminars sponsored by the Money Show people in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. It was right before the book came out and he was talking about the ideas in the...

Agree absolutely. There's someone that's been selling a Linda Bradford Raschke seminar CD for $75 using BuyItNow. Only problem is it sells for $25 online. I'm sure they know this as they've sold several. I should email them and tell them to get a life. I'd warn the bidders but they're using...

I for one have championed J. Wellington Wimpy before as a major competitor. :D "Come over to my house for a duck dinner. You bring the duck!" - J. Wellington Wimpy -

Hi, igsi Did you have a bad personal experience with this company? If so please let us know about it. On further observation it looks like the $30 rebate check came directly from Symantec. But I've received other rebates through TCA and they did eventually come but just took a long time. I...

Good points. Realize this is a bit off topic, but that's my take on MM's too. So many traders think that MM's are out to job them on their 500-1000 share trade. From MM's I've talked to mostly they don't have time really. As you say they're just trying to get their larger institutional orders...

Hi, riskless Like I said, my remarks weren't personal. I didn't know that it was cool with ET to use a link to your site in your signature line or I wouldn't have brought it up. Like I said I PM'd Baron in regard to all this but he never got back to me. And it is something I'm interested in...

I've received a number of rebates for items I've bought at CompUSA. It sometimes takes a while - 2-3 months but they did come. Unfortunately the $30 one I received for Norton AntiVirus Pro I misplaced and thought I had 90 days to cash and it turned out to be only 60 days. Unfortunately it...

Thanks for the heads up gnome :) I remember buying a TV from Circuit City about 15 years ago that had a full range of advanced features, high resolution, and was priced at about 60% of TV's with similar features. Had it for years and it worked great. So you never know. The 3 year warranty should...

Here's the website of a fellow with an article in the current Active Trader Magazine and who wrote an article with Linda Bradford Raschke in the Sept 2002 edition of Stock Futures and Options. Brett N. Steenbarger - The Psychology of Trading http://www.greatspeculations.com/brett.htm

Here's the deal from my perspective, riskless. You shouldn't even be posting links to your site. Period. You say you will tone it down but your tagline for every post includes a link to the site. Please don't do this. We don't like it. Can you imagine what these forums would become if every...
