    Bruce Lee - Champion?

    It's unfortunate that a lot of people's impression of Bruce was of the "celluloid" fighter because he became so big in making movies later in life. He had already been such a martial-arts master so long before the films that a lot of people forgot about his fighting abilities. He actually had to...

    Bruce Lee - Champion?

    I'm not fond of the additional rules & restrictions on UFC after they've gone mainstream. It favors the close-quarters wrestlers more, which is kinda boring to me personally. Few people remember Bruce's streetfighting in Hong Kong before his movie days. He also did boxing tournaments. He won...

    What If....

    Another question would be, that if he did manage a fund and got in billions to manage, who would be the losers that's feeding his gains?

    Girls, Girls, Girls!

    Is there a written policy with grading-standard on what's acceptable anywhere? Obviously nudity would be censored. But is there a quantifiable and objective standard where ANYONE looking at a pic, can come up with the same conclusion on acceptability/no-go? Some other boards have the standard...

    Consistency: the Measure of Success

    Again, we have to remove the subjective aspects of your measurements. How do you define "sharp"? What's the slope? What's the base? What is sharp for one person is smooth for another. The intermediate volatility must also be compared to the long-term overall gains. I'd much rather have a...

    I'm in the cat-3 race at 2pm. Renewed my license after 10-years and the downgraded me. I think I'm gonna get my @ss kicked royally! :) I went long-calls and it took a dump. I gotta start using stops on these things... I just use market orders. Seems to execute faster and I don't have to worry...

    Consistency: the Measure of Success

    Ok, sounds like you've got two measurements: 1. profit-factor is total gains to losses. Of course any account that's in the positive will have a profit-factor over 1.0. I like a 2.0 at least as well. 2. peak-to-peak drawdown to equity. What ratio of equity do you want to the drawdowns to...

    Consistency: the Measure of Success

    What time-frame would you use to gauge consitency then? 5-years? 10-years? You've just cut out the majority of funds as "lucky". What about variation in the account? What is too much? +/-10%? +/-25?

    effects of limit-orders on options?

    Hey, I'm looking at setting up stops on my open futures-options so I don't have to watch them like a hawk. Would prefer to spend my time on the beach or riding my bike. I trade primarily ags & grains, some of which are only pit-traded. What would be the implications of setting up stop-limit...

    Help Raid Controller ?

    Motherboard may have a RAID controller and this latest WinXP update may have the ability to detect it. No worries unless you want to set up RAID with a 2nd hard-drive.

    I got scared and freaked out. Got greedy and opened up another one-sided position and lost $1k in cocoa. Cashed out all my positions and gonna paper-trade spreads a little bit and get my confidence back up. Also was busy with planning my party last weekend: http://members.cox.net/danno9...

    Intel Vs AMD

    Except that the Pentium D820 is not the Core2duo; you can't even buy a Core2duo CPU by itself for $700... Given the two machines listed above, I'd go with the AMD. More bang for the buck...
