As for the game, trust me I know the pain. I agree that one should not go crazy but that craziness should be checked on both sides of the spectrum. Do not go and buy Prada this and Gucci that. However, one should not live a life of a monk in a monastery either.

Eric, I have read market Wizards and I doubt they (successful traders) drive beat up cars and live in their old neighborhoods but I digress. As for Sam being happy, perhaps he was but by the same token there are many people "happy" in Bangladesh. Just because somebody is happy does not...

Then why do it? Most people try to make it in this business to attain freedom to be able to do what they always want it. If one is pushing let say 1 million a year then why live in the place where libraries suck, houses do not look all that attractive and 50% of the population get a stiff one...

I understand EricP. Does this attitude spill over to life outside of trading? I understand that none of your friends walk around with a name sticker saying hello my name is _________ I make 20K/day. So how humble does one get in that department? Does being humble require not displaying...

Looking to purchase EPF data for e signal. Interested in this entire year if possible. Will settle for less (6 months). :D

Overall good thread guys. I enjoy reading stuff posted by Eric, Austin, Dustin and ignore the pollution. I have noticed that there is a lot of talk about being thrifty and humble. I am well aware of the definitions for both but fail to understand the meaning in the context of somebody who...

Don't get me wrong I love that 18.5K and would sleep with it if I could. I am upset because I got lucky and in this business getting lucky is not a proper way to stay alive. On a side note, after my initial mini falling apart, I smoke two cigs. calmed down and went back to work. End result...

My account dipped to - 22K at its lowest and I was ready to puke. Believe it or not I had some orders on the DOM that I forgot to cancel and when I woke up I was in for 12 contracts. Down around 19K, I was not happy to say the least. I had the feeling the market would dip because of the Senate...

I am upset. I went totally back to my old system. Gambled in the morning heavily. Had at one time 48 contracts on the table and that was pre market. Thank heavens I got lucky and it was pure luck I was not raped this morning. Once I unloaded the big position I tried going back to my plan and was...

Another day at work. Couple mistakes, nothing major, maximum exposure was 4 contracts. Not the ideal 1+1 but I could live with it. End result is 4.9K :D

I love Europe, but if you think individual citizen has more freedoms in Europe, then you are smoking crack!!!!!

Cute stuff, but too small for me.

Did not trade Monday. Tuesday, started earlier than usual. Ended up 2.8K with 4 contracts going into AH which were just closed for $500. I made a couple mistakes, but still content with the figures. I guess one can't catch them all.

I have lived in Europe in two different countries to boot. I have been to all of them except for a couple and I am a citizen of EU. As for the health care here is an example queted from Telegraph (similar to NYT): "Figures published by the Commons Health Select Committee show that the...

To get your numbers for corporate tax numbers you have included Eastern Europe. I have no idea how Romania's tax rate somehow reflects the tax rate of Northern Europe or even Western Europe. Nice bending of facts to get a desired outcome. Now as for the taxes in Western Europe here is a quote...

If you look at the numbers, the rich are far from being destroyed and high taxes do not necessairly mean faaling apart of the economy. Just look at the tax rate in the US since WWII. The rich used to pay a lot more so did the companies. fast forward 50 years and despite record tax cuts to the...

Social work programs are not growth???? Are you serious???? You should stop using other people's ideas and start thinking! better yet, stick to the computers.

Not to defend "porche", but it is a premiere sports car company. It does drive better than Toyota or other value brands however, one needs to be a car enthusiast to appreciate it. Also, most sane people buy Porsches used to knock off 70% of price. Example: Porsche Cayenne Turbo (around 450 -...

50 to 100 dollars???? Last time I visited Latin America (which was in 1991) it was 5 to 20 dollars. AND they say there is no inflation. :D

I wonder how it ended for him? is it Bahamas or local Wall mart?
