    How a self made top 5% trader views the world (ME)

    this must be the reason why I'm not one of the top 5% traders. I asked myself what Luke Skywalker would do, and even Captain Adama. But I have never thought of Spock. I guess I'm not smart enough Can we move this thing to chit chat?

    who buys?

    Does your question mean "how is it possible that there are more sellers in an uptrend"? Well, an uptrend won't be always straight up. There are fluctuations. Buyers will stop sometimes to take profits, therefore turning themselves into sellers. Sometimes buyers will stop for a while, letting...

    It's not so bad when you don't know what is going on. To me it happens a lot :)

    Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

    the question is still how often that 1 sprint occurs. Anyway, not a big deal. I play much more soccer than basketball, so I'm happy I have more condition :)

    10 miles? I would have said more. I think I saw Ballack once running around 15 (something more than 25 km), but he's an exception, I must admit. Anyway, I found this url: http://www.fusioncoedsoccer.com/webapp/leag/index.php?opt=viewpage&type=html&id=00159 It says that of the 11.6 km run...

    Well, in soccer you have breaks for throw ins, free kicks, goal kicks, corners, and discussions with the referee. I think the effective time is actually 50%. Roughly equivalent to a basketball game. Besides, you don't have to run for the entire match. In basketball you mostly do. I played both...

    Not even that big. Hell, New York had Pele and Beckenbauer. And now? Beckham. Come on. Yet, this guy is drawing a lot of attention. Maybe soccer will get some interest because Tom Cruise is going to the stadium? It's so insane that could be true

    no way. Rooney kicks Beckham's ass 100 times. He is a real player. When you see Beckham in the news it's because he has a new haircut. When you see Rooney in the news it's because he played, and he played well. Anyway, I posted that because I thought you were implying that Beckham was making...

    Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

    this time not only i have a clue, but i have a pretty good one. You got your facts wrong. Controlling a ball in soccer is by far not as easy as you think. With all due respect to basketball. It's still a great game

    timeouts are only one minute, and in soccer you have a lot of "unofficial" brakes, plus 15 minutes at halftime. At the end the game actually played is not really a lot.

    Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

    Yes, and basketball is played with the hands and soccer with the feet. Of course there are differences, but the concept, the "mentality" of the games are quite similar in a few ways. First, and very obvious: both games are team games where players pass each other a ball, wich they have to shoot...

    Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

    I'm not sure. My first reaction would be to agree, because soccer is the sport I grew up with. But i played basketball a bit, and I used to follow the NBA a lot, and on a second thought I would say that I can't really choose. Basketball is cool. For many ways they are similar. I would say that...

    Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

    That's more or less what I think of football. I would say that many people agree with me. There is a difference though: in rugby you can pass the ball, actually building a game. In football the ball is passed once, in the best case, and only two people are trying to build something, and for a...

    Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

    i just watched a couple of videos on nfl.com. Dude, honestly, tell me I don't get it, but what I see is almost always the same: a guy passes the ball to another guy, who starts running. All around them, a lot of big dudes are kicking each other's ass. The smart guy? The one who passes the ball...

    Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

    I have one: football is a smart game. I would like to find someone to prove me wrong. Not even the (few) americans I talked to did. Keep the quarterback out of the discussion. He is the only one who uses the brain. Probably he is the only one who has some.
