    The Tao of Publias

    Mr Publias, with your permission, I would like to respond to some of candle's driv...er.. "theorising"... Of course, if you don't want me to "pollute" your thread with a more accurate description of the way the world "is", I'll butt out.. candledude, what exactly IS an ego? do everyone have...

    Keeping it Simple

    Today was an absolute blast! rs7, I haven't read your whole thread yet, I'll do it after I eat..but it's interesting to hear you say you let today's rally pass you by. I'm not sure what criteria you use for a pullback, cos the way I look it at, there a few good opportunities to get in...

    Keeping it Simple

    Never fear. If it isn't, I'll always be only too willing to proffer my piercing insights and biting sarcasm (however unwelcome :)).

    Post Prop-Trader Life - Vol. 2

    For those considering going the I-Bank route, it may be worthwile checking the book, "Monkey Business", by John Rolfe and Peter Troob. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446676950/qid=1029287487/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-2556307-8952017?s=books&n=507846 Although they might come...

    Post Prop-Trader Life - Vol. 2

    Silverbllet, Since you quoted me in your post, I'll take it your reply was somewhat directed towards me. Most of you misunderstood me. I want to trade my entire life as well, but not day trading. I would someday like to work in a futures pit for instance...its just something Ive always...

    Post Prop-Trader Life - Vol. 2

    LOL. You learned the "truth". Dude, you are the one being naive. What did you expect? The dollars to just start rolling in?? If you think everybody that starts trading thinks that way, you are way wrong. I can understand that you feel a little disillusioned, seeings as today's market is no...

    ramblin' on (and on...)

    In the movie and the book alike, the author and the director spend about 2% of the time on the actual escape and about 98% of the time on the journey...For me the message was pretty clear... Yeah, but the objective isn't to illicit compassion for the character, or to make you revile him, or...

    ramblin' on (and on...)

    Publias, It is funny that you somehow can know exactly what the goal of King's story was... Well, I don't claim to know the goal of the BOOK, I haven't read it. In case you missed it, I was talking about the FILM. To focus soley on the destination of the plot (the escape) is to miss the...

    ramblin' on (and on...)

    Publias, Yes, Andy Dufresne (the lead character) was an extraordinary person. (Well, he showed extraordinary resolve, let's put it that way - since I don't the film really lets us peek very far inside him). But the goal of the film is to tell an engrossing story of a brilliant escape, not...

    Don's openings Part 3

    Rob, you've mentioned before that you will sit through adverse movement to get your win. What is the point, then, of getting the opening print? If it offers no advantage over getting in later?

    ramblin' on (and on...)

    What? Speak for yourself man. It's a top film, I love watching it. But I don't really think there's much of a "deeper meaning" to it, that touches the essence of what it is to be human. It doesn't even try to do that. Good film, yes. Waterfall of compassion, no.

    Post Prop-Trader Life - Vol. 2

    Well, as someone in his mid twenties (smack bang in the middle) I totally disagree with you. I DO want to trade for the rest of my career. I don't want to DAYTRADE, I'd prefer to take a longer term approach and compound my gains, but for time being, daytrading is fine. I do have "career"...

    QLGC and semi's

    As has been mentioned, QLGC isn't even part of the semis. No growth? According to IBDs, its earnings growth is better than 80% of all companies. T/A wise, I'd say QLGC held up rather well during the July sell-off, on a relative strength basis. Going to 20? I have no opinion, and I...

    Freedom of Speech

    I totally agree with candletrader. (heck, as an atheist, i can hardly be ANTI freedom of speech! :)) I am not American citizen, but I love this country, I love what it stands for and I love what it has done for the world. Wild can thank his lucky stars for the existance of the USA - the...

    Evil Doers blow up university students

    SO MUCH FLUFF! Are you just copying all that stuff straight from some website? I can't believe you actually sit there typing all that crap! You know, a problem arises in "interpretations" of religious documents because if we were to simply take them at their face value, we'd quickly...
