"Win or lose, everybody gets what they want out of the market" - Ed Seykota

"Self sabotage" is an opinion not a feeling. When I get strong feelings I spend time experiencing them and "get into them even more." I figure feelings are there for a reason and I stop and experience them. Sometimes I breathe in and out for a while and/or meditate. I also live in the moment...

I am reading an interview with Rupert Murdock in Time Magazine dated 16 October 2006, page 8. Mr. Murdock reports that he visits Congress and observes "Democrats are 100 % CNN" and "Republicans, and they're 100 % Fox." The Time Magazine interviewer reports Fox is the only news channel in the...

Lets play Diablo Saturday 1 pm EDST 28 October 2006. We start new characters. Name of game EliteTrader or similar.

She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin out on the line.

I believe the behavior of prices is unfigureoutable. I don't even try to make sense of price changes.

Plan A: You dont get laid off until 31 December 2006. That gives you about three months to try trading. Observe if you can make money by trading. I doubt that your office is dedicated to getting work done now. You might have time to sit at a computer and trade. Plan B: You might want to send...
