400k over last 24 mos. I have taken a lot of time off. I am up 163k this year.That doesn't include dividends and interest. I do think that one can trade these arb deals by placing a lot on orders and catching gaps in stock prices, then hedging against the other stock. In terms of a...

Let me also add that I like to watch secondary offering stocks. When they break the secondary bid they often fall precipitously. This is known as the "break, shake, and take." I like to try to anticipate the bottom of the shake before "they" take it up.

There's lots of opportunity in the risk arb game. So many mergers, so little time. I like bank deals because the antitrust aspects are easy to figure out.

No automation, although I have access to some programs I paid to have written. I just haven't employed them yet---well, I did but they cost me money.

WORK???????????????????????????? That's a dirty word. You should know from your brother that we traders DON'T WORK. Consequently, as Jesse Jackson would say, "The question is moot" No ,Costa Rica isn't on the horizon, It's blocked by Red Rock .In fact, the dust is so bad, nothing is...

" 4 out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum. What does the 5th recommend?" Answer: A root canal when you really don't need one

Re your question about whether a chicken has lips. The answer is no, because even if it does I know a guy who works for Pilgrim's Pride whose job is to chop off the beaks of little chicks so they don't "damage" each other. Just imagine, working 8 hrs per day cutting off chicken beaks.

Arbitrage of one sort or another. Last 24 mos, up about 400k. It's been tough.

maybe I'll break it down in another poll later

Don, I don't think Worldco was a sub LLC.

Let's see where people stand

I just figured since Don had his own thread I would start my own. Feel free to ask anything. I am filled with self-importance for the moment. It's almost like self-publishing your own book.

I see Intrade has a futures market on whether the jail sentence will be longer than 14 months. What's your opinion? In a few days I will post the opinion of a veteran federal criminal defense attorney and former asst US atty. The current bid/offer on intrade is 55 x60 with over paying off...

No, but thank you for the suggestion. I do need to offer a correction to your post. I actually have a TEAM of psychiatrists. They are currently evaluating the effect of my daily McFlurry with Oreos on my psychiatric health.

I believe the SEC doesn't want to give explicit guidance. However, you should be aware that there has always been a prohibition against doing something indirectly that you are not allowed to do directly. SEC can hang their hat on that. Remember, SEC has no criminal authority, so the burden...

I have discovered through my Scientology detective contacts that Wrongway is actually also Inmate451. He was either released on parole or escaped, or possibly got access to the warden's computer again. In any case, his spelling and grammar mistakes gave him away. I guess his recent post...

You guys are making my head spin.

Yes, I think that's right. I think it was across from People's Bank .I once dropped a 5 gallon tub of pizza sauce. It slipped out of my hands. The tub hit the ground, and on the rebound the sauce flew up and hit the ceiling and immediately landed on my head. I went to Spring Branch Jr High...

I was the day MANAGER at Pizza Hut on Longpoint in Houston, Texas in 1974. I pulled down $1.60 / hour at age 14. Given I have held no job since that time, have lived at home with Mom my entire life, sleep on the top bunk of bunk beds (with my golden retriever occupying the lower bunk), and...

I do not suggest a Methlab for trading. I hear the chemicals are rather volatile and the criminal penalties are severe. Besides, you should be tweaking your trading skills, not your brain.
