This type of journal won't make any difference. The type of journal (for your own use, not suggesting that you need to write it on ET) that will be of any help is one where you write your trades up each night and go through why the trade was a good trade or not and whether you stuck to your plan...

Nice vid ByLo! More grist... http://www.cnbc.com/id/30352158 http://www.cnbc.com/id/30259531

LOL got it, that festivus. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS7-jcsB_WQ&feature=related I had forgotten all about where it came from, was thinking about the event Minyanville holds each year.

Usually in Dec. Are you planning to go this year?

I have an autographed copy of his technical analysis binder and this book also(took his class at the CME many years ago). Its a decent book on but just lays out what most of us know about volume and open interest that can now be found in many other books. I think that a bunch of sellers on...

Cottles options book I recall was expensive and Joe Ross's books I think were all priced at $100 new (not worth a 1/10 of the price imo).

We are at or very near (within a week) of this bear market rally being done. When it is the down side will be swifter than many imagine. I expect to see the SP well under 800 by mid may. Take a look at the weekly charts, they tell the clearest story. Apart from the SPG short that I...

:D I initiated a large short on SPG today so you are probably right :)

As an active life long democrat I can tell you that this is already happening. The dems I know who are in business are shaking their heads and wondering what Obama is thinking and were generally supportive of the tea parties, the other half have morphed from thinking people in to the ditto heads...

The jumbo end now. As people have not be able to find new jobs, not been able to refi, not been able to sell, and are running out of savings they are starting to lose the homes. http://www.fieldcheckgroup.com/blog/

Whinners :D Biggest pet peeve, people who throw litter from their car, the whole world is their trash can! :mad:

Arbitration, they all hide behind arbitration. When you go to the doctors office you might have to sign something about informed consent but you don't have to give away a good portion of your legal rights in order to be seen. How many lawyers take on financial mismanagement cases on contingency...

What I meant was that had I held the position in to expiration week I would have been an idiot. I see now that I didn't post that I was looking to get out of the spread at $45 or better as I thought I had, my bad. The other 400 7.5s expired worthless.

I'm not a complete idiot although I may play one on ET :) Reread the thread.

Boy, you are cold Cutten :) but I agree, anyone who took big losses was gambling or just not paying any attention to their retirement. On the other hand I don't agree that financial advisors are like doctors. 90% of financial advisors I have met really have just been salesmen and didn't know...

True, the very demographics that have been working for the boomers for so long will now work against them, especially if enough young people have now been put off investing their money in equities by the market gyrations of the last 10 years.

I feel very sorry for the people who have sustained big 401K losses due to the recent down turn and also for those who have been robbed by fees in their funds, but how much time did these people put in to understanding how they were planning to fund their retirements? You don't take huge...

In otherwords everyone should just make up whatever god concept suits them, or not if they don't feel the need for such a crutch to get through life. If that is the case why bother posting all this drivel and challenging what other people have imagined or not? Despite the fact that you "believe"...
