Crappy day, but should have expected that much. I've had to take up some very risky positions to cover the hits.

It's a scalping tool

You are shorting restaurant business. No matter the economy, people will always eat out and especially at low end restaurants. If anything, MCD might pick up as the average Joe Shmoe will have to cut down on "fine dining" like Outback and Ruby Tuesdays. I thought you were going to mention...

Interesting. I'm taking notes. Do you mind giving examples of monopoly companies that are small? I've had a few in mind.

I've my best days with volume of 50k and less

Why do these supposedely great firms still believe that academics make a great trader?

Everybody and their mother is starting a hedge fund lately. 5 years later, most of them are gone.

Look are you all bitter that you cannot invest? 2000 was a trader's market not an investor's one. Buffet IS NOT A TRADER, HE IS AN INVESTOR. Just get that through your head. Buffet's position in the Euro is against the dollar. If you honestly think that it's not smart to go against the...

Oh yeah Gates has given Billions of his crappy Miscrosoft software to charity that costs nothing to replicate, yet marked at ridiculous values, hence making him look like a real philanthropist. It's even better when the institutions receiving these great donations, get stuck on a crappy...

Could be a good options play.

A lot of great answers in this thread. I understand where you are coming from because I went through serious humps that sent me back down (and even lower). Almost everyday, I get carried away slightly but nowhere to the point of blowing my gains anymore. The size issue is a big one and I...

My mistake, you are not a piker, I am. In that case I'm damn proud that I can trade very little volume and keep 80%+ of my gross, instead of churning, doing heavy volume and keeping about 25% of the gross. Your initial comment and opinion was made in a degrading manner, all based on volume...

You might want to check exactly what happened and why before you make assumptions. IRS does the same exact thing everyday and it's a normal thing in USA.

Ok forget it, you are right and everyone who doubts is wrong. This is pointless, you are a deluded fool that refuses to look any other way except your own. No wonder, true traders make a damn good living day to day, while you need a real job to support your "investing" practices. To anyone...

Complete BS, have 2 close friends who went to Wharton. Just like all Ivy Leagues, there is a lot of politics involved and it's not based on any true intelligence. Book smarts yes, but book smarts are generic and you cannot create or duplicate true intelliegence, common sense and street...
