I doubt he has bitch tits (he drinks this "age defying" protein shake he sells on his 700 Club TV show). No, he probably has the garden variety floppy hangers that Frank Constanza had until he invented the "bro." I bet Jack LaLanne could squat 135 no problem.

No. I mean verified returns, not merely someone's opinion. You didn't have to be a smart aleck about it. It is a natural question, considering that she is one of the most ubiquitous gurus.

Martin "Buzzy" Schwartz used to post here once in a blue moon.

Yes, THAT Pat Robertson. According to the May 26 edition of the newspaper THE VIRGINIAN PILOT, because of the "age defying" protein shake he has been taking, he recently leg pressed 2000 pounds and does 1000 for 10 reps. I am 37 and have been bodybuilding seriously for over 22 years, all...

I know that Linda Raschke was profiled in THE NEW MARKET WIZARDS, and that she has been doing seminars for well over a decade, but has anyone seen any evidence--physical evidence--of her trading ability? At least Larry Williams turned 10K into over 2 million once (and lost millions too, of...

Thank God (or whomever).

That would be nice, since I have a long-term position in the NDX. I don't trade in and out of this position==it's a core position, because I believe that NDX is undervalued in relation to the S&P. I would not be surprised to see a 15% rally from here over the next few months. That said...

Oh no, Niederhoffer couldn't have blown up again? Could he?

I agree. That said, it will be tough trading this in the next few days. This is one of those days in which to trade this one needs to implement buy and sell stops. It's 10:40 Eastern time, and the Russell is right at the day's high of 719.2. If it goes to 722, then it could run and run...

Apparently Williams could care less whether or not he fulfilled his civic obligations to pay his taxes. No one really relishes giving to Uncle Sam, but most of us do it. And not only because we don't want to go to jail. I have little sympathy for tax cheats. Because they don't pay their...

I remember a few years ago you were writing a book on trading volatility (or something like that). Whatever happened to that? Good luck on the journal! ssynic

The wild swings in gold suggest that the bull market might be over, at least for now. If it drops, I think we'll see a lot head for the door.

Ever trade both, as a spread? Historically, when natural gas is trading for less than 1/10 crude, it is considered cheap. Not for a trade, but for long term. Trading natty by itself is simply asking for it.

Not that anyone cares, nor should they care, but I closed out my June gold short (sold on Friday) and went long. If gold breaks 685, I am back short. If that happens, then the real correction may begin.

Of course an option model is not going to be perfect in predicting the future distribution of prices. That's why they call it a model.:-) But if one wants a ballpark, I'd go with implied volatility of the options over historical.

"Take all stocks down at least 30-40% Take the market down at least 10%" Unless one is talking about some other market that does not include the "stocks down at least 30-40%," or about stock index futures that are not always precisely correlated with the cash index, there is nothing else...

I am short gold as of Friday, so I hope it will continue to correct. Then again, hope means nothing. I'll go long again once the correction is over. Until then, I am going to enjoy the ride down. This looks like a correction in a bull market. I am looking forward to going long, since the...

Bingo. You took the words out of my mouth. He clearly cannot have it both ways, though he would probably be happy with either.

Who's picking tops?:-) For volatile commodities/stocks in parabolic moves I use a stop and reverse system. If gold goes up strong from the open, I will cover the short and go long. The only time I would enter a long-term position in the metals would be if the gold/silver ratio hits below...

Well said. The last several weeks gold's move has gone parabolic. When gold corrects, there will be dust for sure. That said, I am short June gold as of late Friday afternoon, with a stop (close) several dollars over Friday's high. The down close after the gap looks bearish to me. At the...
