LOL, that is funny stuff...I figure they already exploited the baldness gig, the weight loss gig, now they have entered a new frontier...

wow, this thread got to 21 pages in a hurry... regarding the highest "posting average" in a single day...Well, last summer Aphexcoil was on this place 24/7 posting day and night...And a few months before that ChasinFl(or whatever the nickname is) was posting 24/7 as well...So, there is some...

Sorry, to clarify...I meant the ORIGINAL post by Maelstrom...everyone needs to occassionally alter their reality, I just happen to agree that the drinking thing is probably the worst possible way...

I nominate this for post of the week. Intelligent, original and honest. Beats the shit out of the other crap on this site.

If you have this retailed in your geographic location, I think they are a good place to shop. Discounts off of retail can be significant. Very good selection of high end equipment.

The original post by AAA has a few flaws in it for one reason. First, comparing leveraged and deleveraged returns are kind of like a footnote to most of the outsized return numbers that we hear about. If you study the manager profiles of CTA's, CPO's, etc you find the MER or margin to equity...

Nice job tko...We had about 8 teams in the elite trader fantasy league last year...Maybe this year a few more.

This is really a shock. Just last week, I had mentioned that he was one of my favorite contributors to Elite Trader, even though he had visited the site less and less over the past year. I agree that he was a genuinely warm hearted person who shared his knowledge and wisdom freely and without...

Maybe he is off enjoying the "sweet" leaf....

I know that quite a few people pay attention to the seasonal tendencies for volatility and price trends, and its always a pretty interesting phenomenon. Similar to 1998 and 1999, the SP 500 (thus far) has topped out near the middle of July...July 14th this year, July 16th, 1999 and July 17th...

No doubt about it. Most people are still overlooking how he lapped the field at Bay Hill and The Western Open, both pretty quality events with deep fields. Four tournament wins in one year used to mark the peak of some very good golfing careers, so it really is simply that Tiger is a victim of...

a) Yes, most amateur golfers either never learn the proper fundamentals from the start or they eventually drift away from them because they feel more comfortable with their bad habits. Its very rare to see the average golfer set up properly to the ball with good grip pressure, allignment...

Fair enough. I also agree that the more overlooked aspects of club selection are the most important ones. Many people would be surprised at how inconsistent their shafts are, if they buy off the rack. And then Rifle came along with frequency matching and really put some consistency into...

so this was a subtle sales pitch?

From my observation and experience, the SPY will tend to wiggle quite a bit even while the ES is static...I am sure you could get ballpark estimates on the price of the ES, etc, or you could just get ur quotes off of the IB TWS, if ur concerned with spending the money...

I am guessing AAA doesnt value our opinions much..FWIW, I played Division I golf and have played with a number of different club manufacturers. The best set of clubs I have ever owned were a set of 1991 Titleist Tour Blades...I still play with them on occasion...Each set of blades has a...

After I wrote my comments about the equipment, a few things occurred to me. First, I think we all know that Tiger is not using "off the rack" irons or woods, but I would venture to guess that some manufacturers, as much as they try to perfectly match the specs for a given player, come up short...

TM and AAA: yes, you bring up some additional factors that could be the cause of his problems. When they discussed his GIR stats on The Golf Channel, they did not distinguish between whether those 125-150 yard shots were from the fairway or the rough. I would assume that since his driving...

It was another strange finish, kind of like 1999 when Van de Velde collapsed on the 18th hole to force a playoff. I think Bjorn had a difficult shot under pressure circumstances and may have gotten a bit careless with the first shot. Clearly, he was trying to pull off the "perfect" shot and...

yikes, aphie, I read that comment and it sounded straight out of the DB Phoenix book...You have gone straight from a young naive kid to sounding like a 50 year old conservative grouch...:D
