It would be a truly shocking black swan if Paris so much as sets foot in a prison cell on June 5th. Hear me now and believe me later: not gonna happen. Look for a successful appeal and an alternate, jail-free sentence.

"A study released by the center in September and conducted by Rutgers professor Donald McCabe in New Brunswick, New Jersey, showed that students pursuing MBA degrees cheat more than other U.S. graduate students. McCabe found that 56 percent of those in business schools acknowledge violating the...

Maybe it's this sure hit in the works: Confessions of a Wall Street Shoeshine Boy (2009)

I was a quant. In a previous life aka the rat race. Took me a long, long time and tens of thousands in losses to get over that mindset for trading, to the exclusion of right-brain thinking, such as TA. Sounds like all that quant baggage, er, stuff, still slips through in my posts...

Talking about Excel itself, in terms of the 1,000-fold increased maximum worksheet size in Excel 2007 vs. 2003.

You mean Jack Hershey, advocating trendlines, channels and S/R? Had no idea. For me, yes. I find all those tools useful in more reliably interpreting pure price action. Especially S/R, together with recurring patterns and time.

No problem. Incidentally, you were otherwise absolutely correct in your initial post above, without the phrase "through a company." That is, a sponsor is not needed to take the Series 3 Exam, but, once you've passed, it's indeed "use it or lose it" (within 2 years).

That is incorrect on both counts. A sole proprietor can register as an NFA member, e.g., in the CTA, CPO, IB, even FCM categories; no attached role / additional test are needed. You are considered both an individual and a firm, as is standard for sole proprietorship as an entity. I know...

No, Series 3 is different than most others: a company is not necessary to hang your Series 3 in. You can apply for NFA membership in a number of categories (incl. CTA, CPO, IB), as a sole proprietor.

Not trading your own money is a lot more stressful, in my experience.

It' not 3,000+ and it's not 200. From the Grid, there are exactly 531 active systems there right now. Of those, 328 are profitable, again as of right now (though often not by much). Stocks 160 (111 profitable) Futures 183 (113) Options 14 (7) Forex 127 (77) More than one asset class 47...

Correct: "Phillip L. Clay, M.I.T.’s chancellor, said in an interview that a college degree was probably not required for Ms. Jones’s entry-level job in the admissions office when she arrived in 1979." Oh, great. As if that somehow turns her massive lifelong fraud into a harmless...

A, but in portrait mode. For surfing, you want height > width. The greater the H/W ratio, the better.

Bloomberg TV routinely reshuffles anchors' time slots every few months.

Well done, Ms. Jones, you devil. (Part 7.) Count'm, 3 fake degrees... that takes balls. Now, if you so much as get caught cheating on your SAT or "borrowing" from the internet on some silly high school assignment, your ass is grass, as far as getting into a good college. I say, let's throw...

"some were taken" -- yes, SL=100 is still far too close, on the daily time frame, particularly for some of the majors. As another recent example, take a look at GBP/USD on Friday the 13th (hah) 2 weeks ago and drill down that morning... a 100-pip, news-driven (US PPI and Trade Balance) drop in...

The perp conveniently grabs you above the waist and below the neck and, best case, gets shocked. Depending on the surroundings, he recovers sufficiently before you manage to escape. Enraged, he knocks you down (your head, neck and legs are unprotected). Now, aren't you glad you're wearing your...
