    30-Sep 97 $1,257.81 $535.69 net transaction costs on the month- not terrible for a first month (i mean it was green) but not enough to cover x-trader or salary... so hopefully we can get a little more aggressive going forwards. i keep telling him he needs to click first and think later to...

    Are We About To Take The "big Dump"?

    earnings are all to one degree or another tied to our government deficit. if we actually reign that in (which i don't actually think we will accomplish) it will be tremendous pain in the short term... but then again not reigning it in is simply kicking the can down the road and as we've...

    Are We About To Take The "big Dump"?

    i voted down, but i don't think this will be the big dump- this will simply be leg 3 in of the 5 leg sequence imo. we should see a bear market that takes us down to maybe 7300 or so in the dow by next fall, and then we'll bounce up to about 9500 before taking the real plunge to new lows

    my 1st protege

    i don't really give him advice on each trade to enter, i've already taught him the general strategy- now he has all the rope he needs to hang himself. generally now he just runs a basic plan by me to make sure he's not doing something terribly stupid, but i generally just tell him to do...

    my 1st protege

    i disagree- the problem is that he isn't making enough on his winning days- he'll see 3 opportunities and only act on 1. we all get screwed when the bad trades come because they are available to put on for so long it's hard to avoid them, the key is acting on all of the good ones in between...

    Storing cash

    i think the raising of the margin req's was far more important than the silver bullion that was found in the sunken ship silver is a safer store of value than us dollars (for the next 20 years is my horizon) because we print more money every single day and we only find more silver every once...

    my 1st protege

    well that was yesterday, i'm not sure why the date is wrong i just copy / pasted from what he sent me. he also lost money today (as did i) from the zb just being crazy weak relative to everything else and not retracing the dislocation at all. these days w/big one way moves w/out much retrace...

    Greece to slash 20% of public workforce "right now"

    i agree with the theory of africa undercutting the current emerging markets in the decades to come- i do fear though that i won't live long enough for america to cycle back to the top.
