Back to the statement that the OP posted:
Dykstra is not one awful trader, because it is not even apparent that he trades.
He is, however, one awful human being, because he charges for reckless advice and then cannot face the music when his imaginary portfolio implodes.
A question and a comment:
Why not go to Collective 2? It may be worth your while. If your system is robust and not simply curvefitted, you'll have your trading stake in no time.
It is one thing to trade a system not using real money, and it is quite another to trade it with real money...
Gold marching to $1000 the same time the S&P is heading down to challenge November lows.
A measured move on GLD would put it at 99.97: 66 to 87.10, and then 78.87 to 99.97
A measured move on the ES would put it at 730.75: 942.75 to 797.50, and then 876 to 730.75.
Lawrence,
Has S2 held so far? Then target previous day's low.
If previous low holds, then target daily pivot, which happens to be right by yesterday's VWAP.
I am home sick with flu, so not fattail until later, assuming I get in to the office.
Fraudulent is a pretty strong word--I would not go quite that far. Perhaps the dialogue was based on oral history that was handed down over the decades, and the gospel writers, whoever they were, tried to recreate it.
Even if they had good intentions, they nevertheless did not create primary...
All of the Gospels were likely written before A.D. 100, but none were written until decades after the events described therein had already taken place.
They are not primary source documents.
It is amazing, and also based solely on conjecture and specious reasoning. It is based on the unwarranted assumption--guess--that when Luke went through the family history of Joseph, he actually meant Mary. But yet it is not Luke's fault, but the fault of translators.
This is all guessing...
Does anyone have the original video?
Not that I consider someone losing money to be entertaining, but the video is a good object lesson on what NOT to do.
He moved to the UK in the early 90's. If there is an email directory there, it might be worth a shot. I am not even sure he is still alive, as his partner at the bookstore died in 1992.
Exactly. The evangelicals want to have it both ways: Descended from David (Jeremiah 23:5) and a virgin birth.
One of the many, many inconsistencies and impossibilities within Christianity.
Gee, she is a little self-righteous and condescending for a career associate professor, isn't she? Cannot even spell the name of the former president Carter. It is JIMMY, not Jimmie.
Dy-no-MITE!
The debate over the economic stimulus supports the view that the Republicans are rapidly become a regional party.
Unless they abandon their failed policies that helped get this country into this mess, they are destined to be a minority party.
I have yet to see a reaonable Republican...
