    cleaning up the broker/book recos.

    can we clean up two areas of user recommendations? one is the brokerages. the recent spammer / multi-alias person kept disaparaging one broker...can a person who is banned from ET have their "reviews" eliminated as well? also - can we ban authors from including reviews on their own...

    BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

    suri's book = more than magee/edwards. magee/edwards was groundbreaking...for its time. and TA had to be explained from the ground up. many more setups are included because suri basically shows the setup, with a brief explanation.

    Why so many IB stocks unshortable today?

    yes, i saw that too. it was mainly smaller ones, but also some large ones which shouldn't have been unshortable. some came back in line, slowly.

    Poker books and DVDs

    fair 'nuf. a bunch of reasons, and probably some i've forgotten: -> trading is my job. i'd get tired sometime from focusing on trading and then on poker, and then that would effect my main source of income, trading. -> games got, to me, a bunch tougher. -> poker became more of an...

    Poker books and DVDs

    i never opened the DVDs, so i can't comment on those. slotboom's book (not available here) on omaha was pretty good, so i'd guess his DVD would be as well. the books, yeah, they definitely did. harrington books are great and i got stuff out of all the rest of them. hansen's book is a...

    BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

    i haven't finished reading brooks' book, but what i've read is excellent. one minor quibble; his ideas don't always follow a clear, consistent order. but there's lots of real good information in it. another good price action book is chick (?) goslins

    How many people here actually make a living?

    Dan Zanger shorting Goldman Sachs in a big way...

    i'm short from earlier in the afternoon. i don't think it's dumb at all. i've got my stop in place, of course. (edit: i'll be out by end of day because i'm primarily a daytrader, but when it can't hold the gap on "great" news, it's usually a really good short. same on the reverse...

    Anyone subscribe to firsthourtrading.com

    got this from an account which gets TSCM junk. one thing - you'll notice that they include "f.re.e" in there a couple times, because it's one of the words to trigger spam filters. anyhow, here's part of it. enjoy: Manny Backus is a friend of mine. I'm lucky to know him because he is a...
