Define "barely profitable"? My timing system is up about 20% for long only on the QQQQs and 30% for long/short. Max drawdown has been under 8%. How have the hedge funds been doing?

Yes, just "throw more money" and everything will be OK. In reality, you can build brand new schools with high-tech science labs and PCs...and they'll be trashed in a few years and literacy rates and SAT scores won't improve. You'll have giveaway programs that are exploited to the hilt, without...

I still don't know what's going on with all this, and don't have the time or patience to sort it all out. I just hope the truth surfaces. The irony is the only thing that's really gotten my attention. When someone else thought they were being slandered and finally had to resort to legal...

It is. Thanks. And Samson has been mysteriously quiet. Hmmmm. BTW, I've written a few screenplays and thought a few of your Hollywood friends could look over them and...:D

Very interesting. Any last words, Samson? What about this quote I remember reading from a past thread? "I can tell you there is a lot of garbage and tricks being played on the members of ET and that's why we need to stick together and share the truth about some of these scumbags." -- Samson77

Ok, so you haven't spammed anyone. Have you tried to sell anything to anyone on here? I'm not accusing; I'm simply asking. Do you sell trading systems or trading information? That's a clear-cut, black-and-white question. Fair enough? I saw some of the banter between you and Steve46 and I...

According to the post by Steve, you spammed people and tried to sell them something. I have no first hand knowledge, but since you haven't even tried to defend yourself, I'm assuming it's true. Is it...or is it not? If it's true, I'd say you're a sub-vendor, since vendors are at least up...

Amazing. This guy (Samson) has attacked others like a raging pit bull because they charge a fee for their services, and it turns out he's a vendor in his own right. At least the vendors he's attacked were up front and didn't hide the fact that they were selling something. Again, simply...

Since when have Gann and Dow Theory been so similar? I'd say Gann is in the same class as Fibs and Elliot, while Dow Theory is mostly price action based, especially when you apply it short-term (longer term you may get concerned about sector analysis like Industrial vs. Transport stocks, etc.)

I just received an email from CMC saying they're "proud to offer Futures trading completely free of both commission and exchange fees." http://www.cmcgroupplc.com/us/futures/benefits.jsp Ok, now I'll ask the famous ol' question: What's the catch??

I didn't bother reading VN's interview and I'm not a fan of Woodie, but did like your interview with Nelson Freeburg. He's a great mechanical trading system tester and designer. Of course, he's also partial to price behavior and trend-following systems... :D

Yep, you made Yahoo Finance's front page! I agree with ProfLogic, though. No one can completely ignore price and have any long-term, consistent profitability. Woodie probably has good intentions with the free chat room(s), donations to charity, etc. But from what I've read (you can...

Hank, I saw your interview with Woodie on Yahoo's Finance page yesterday. I have to ask: are you making millions by completely ignoring price & trading from "CCI patterns" yet. :D

Monday is looking a little blackish in Japan right now, for what it's worth. The Nikkei was down about 3.5% last time I checked.

Livermore certainly did have a sad life, at least in the final years before he took it. As for his trading, from what I've heard he was extremely successful until the downward spiral of family and other problems started. The family problems took a toll on his trading/judgement, though, and he...

Cue Alexander Elder quoting (paraphrasing?) Warren Buffet on market efficiency: "Investing in a market in which people believe in efficiency is like playing poker against those who believe it does not pay to look at cards." :D

Some traders only look at tick charts, point-and-figure charts and other charts/methods that ignore time altogether. They may include time on the chart for reference, but it plays no role in their analysis of trend. So I'd say that definition isn't universally defined/accepted.

Speaking of math-based methods, I'm waiting for the arrival of Long Term Capital Management II. Like all bad horror flicks, it's gotta have a sequel... :D

I see.. I guess it could be considered free advertising? Maybe he'll PM me with the info. I'm not interested in being a subscriber/customer of his, I was just curious. But when you turn down a challenge and say your track record speaks for itself...knowing you can't provide your track...

Hank, Just checking once again...where's the website with your real-time track record? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from hank rollins: my publically posted record, since 2000, speaks for itself. your one day...
