    We were (at least I was) just poking at you a bit. Harmless fun. Don't take me too seriously. Yeah, the unlocking the door thing is huge.

    Trading and Dating

    Well, I was being passive-aggressive, not necessarily sarcastic. I do enjoy the finer things in life because I'm young and I can afford them, granted when I get older this won't matter a bit, but, these days its just for fun. I have two cars and I did completely splurge on one of them. I...

    Short the ES with impunity 08/02/2006

    Yes, thats one way of getting to the end goal. My strategy is more timing orientated in that I get stopped out very small and often. Once I get the trade working correctly, I really pile in. I never let losers go very far period. If the trade isn't working, I kill it, no matter what. I...

    Short the ES with impunity 08/02/2006

    FYI, my stop is the worst case out for me - I usually pre-emptively stop out when the position doesn't show signs of movement in my direction right from the start. I usually try not to lose more than 3-5 ES points on any trade. Sometimes I wash, some times I take the max stop loss - a lot of...

    How do you know what is real versus fake? I've always been under the impression that the car is the first impressionable item. Mike P.S. I don't own a watch (I can't stand the feeling of anything metallic on my body), but I do drive a very nice car... fyi, I pay very careful attention to...

    Ever party in LA? Westwood, Santa Monica? Yeah the Butabi bros are real - they're out there. Its pretty f--king pathetic but funny at the same time. That SNL skit isn't too far off from some of the shit I've seen in certain clubs. I guess I live on another planet as well.

    Short the ES with impunity 08/02/2006

    polpolik, I'm with you man, got a quick long this morning and then started scaling into an ES short today, avg price 1285 on 12 contracts so far. My stop is tighter, 1293, but 1290 is where I currently see the make it or break it point being at. This week will definetly tell the story for...

    SoCal

    Well, I would say Santa Barbara but you won't find a job very easily here. Santa Monica is a great town, got a huge recently graduated population and you can still find affordable housing/work there. Mike

    What is your favorite city in the United States...

    There are areas here known as "mexico" where you won't find many white people walking down the street, but thats what its like all over southern CA. Let me put it this way; in the 15 years I've lived here, never once have I locked my doors. In fact my door is wide open at all times during...

    What is your favorite city in the United States...

    You won't find any good housing under a mil (maybe a 3bd/2ba cottage in OK condition in an OK area) easily over a mil for a good neigborhood in SB proper. 1.8-2.5 mil there is some really good stuff. Montecito minimum entry is 1.4-1.6 mil and goes into outer space from there... 20,30,40 mil is...

    What did that cost you? At least a few hundred k or so? Seen it happen to too many good friends: marriage + lies = lawyers get rich.

    I don't know man, if you got to BS your way to get laid, that kind of is desperation IMO. You are walking a fine line there - one misstep and you're done. Like someone already said, its much easier to just tell the truth. Agree with the laughter comments. That and wit are probably the most...

    Yeah, seeing as how much they bicker with each other, I think steve46 and marketsurfer have a thing for each other... I wonder who would wear the pants in that relationship :D Mike P.S. sorry steve, i just read that "meet marketsurfer for lunch" thread or whatever it was, funny stuff...

    nitro, How about drinking tea? The potency is much less - might be a good way for you to work your way into it.

    Caffeine addiction

    I do that, but, then I'm waking up to piss every 2 hours... It really does come down to dehydration and vitamin/mineral depletion - I guess I am looking for that "wonderdrug" that allows people to drink all they want and not feel like shit the next morning. Why the big pharma's aren't...

    There's nothing wrong with meeting people online. Hell, what do you think we do on this trading forum? I don't really think its any different. Here we talk about money and markets. Other places you talk about sex and relationships - so what? I see those eharmony commercials all the time...
