Never had a close shark encounter (knock on wood)... but I have surfed in conditions that just beat the shit out of me. During my recent trip to Indonesia I recieved a few permanent tatoos courtesey of the reef. Note these weren't as bad as one I got a few years back ~ that time I almost lost my...

For fear of sounding like a mindless "dude" I can relate much of my athletic experience with trading. During high school and college I surfed competitively. Yes, I know it sounds silly to some of you who live removed from the ocean, but, here in coastal CA, surfing is actually quite developed as...

Isn't this a simple answer? To profit from my activites in the market, I have to be faster than the others. If I want to buy, I have to be fast enough to get in at the price I want before prices go up, and to sell, I have to be fast enough to get out before a reversal or stand on the side and...

Nathan, Good reply. I am working on some answers. I will post again soon. Regards, Mike

I think this is 6th or 7th thread that Nathan has started regarding his "problems" while trading. He's gotten great advice from many here in prior threads as well as this one. This one sticks out from illiquid: "Very specifically, you must be able to answer why you believe your activities...

Reading the initial claim about anything obvious, I was thinking: "Maybe this guy knows something of value". Upon hearing a statement like "timing...odds...most" along with the large stop loss mentality made me question this person's skill or lack thereof. Subjective statements about stop...

Have you ever been to SB? Nothing fake, phony or BS prone here Mav. What you will fail to find here is out-of-shape people - take a walk down state street and you'll see. Its a simple lifestyle difference, and if it comes across as a generalization then be it. There is beautiful weather here...

What's the drawdown?

The only fat people I see in my area (Santa Barbara) are tourists from the midwest... seems like that area in general is home of the "all you can eat" buffet and frigid, stay indoors and eat all day and never excersize weather/attitude... Hey, I was born in Poland, everyone is thin there, its...

In what sense? Physically or mentally? Mike P.S. Apparently, based on the majority of emails I get, soft cialis and porn will do the job. Just a suggestion. To the OP, Well, if you find yourself worn out, you need to excersize more and eat wholesome quality food. Thats what works...

Blondes seem to be a habit of mine, I'm a sucker for blue eyes. Recently been trying to break out of that mold.

Jam, Do you not get it? THIS IS NOT AN EGO MATCH..... Given your attitude, what are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to know how I trade? I'll tell it forthright... there are no secrets in what I do. Do you want an account statement? I asked you a question. Very simple question...

Well I would've honeslty thought you had the ability to come up with your own ideas/comebacks given how "intelligent" you sound. But, then again, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Let me apologize for that. Look Jam, I didn't intend to get into a pissing match with you. I have...

Okay, lets try again without a condescending reply. I've been here a while and have read most of what you are referring to. I am asking YOU a question about that statement YOU made (which was an oxymoron BTW). How about you reply with something of substance this time? Mike

Huh? What are you talking about?

You know, funny thing you ask that question at this time. I am feeling generous so I've attached a typical analysis I do before entering any stock trade. I literally have hundreds of these docs that I create and review on a daily basis before and after every trade. I prepared this one for a...

You know, when I saw that post, I was thinking the same thing. Nearly 1/3 of the volume in F? Why would anyone pushing that type of volume on F show it? I mean F is thick, there's gotta be serious money in play and here we have a guy who is pushing 1/3 of the vol? That was difficult to believe...

I have a question with this, I currently never eat breakfast, in fact, most days I am usually up at 5:30ish and I dont eat until 1 or 2pm, sometimes even later in the day (work keeps me overly occupied to think about food). What I find happens when I do eat in the morning is I am slower and more...

Ripley, you are right. I sincerely do not want to give false hope to those struggling and failing. Unfortunately, trading can be addictive and destructive to individuals and their families. I now see where you are coming from. The name of the thread does say it all: Desperation.

Man, there is just no way to get through that attitude of yours is there? I never called you a loser pal. You keep calling yourself one, you seem to have been doing it so long I think you actually believe it at this point. Do you see the irony in your past statement wrt MP? You are critizing...
