    Looks like Victor Niederhoffer blew up again

    I basically agree with you but with a caveat. Part of being a great trader is acquiring the ability to come back after a blow up. Livermore, and others, were able to find backing even when the could barely pay their rent. To get there you have to operate in real scale and have a real rep...

    need advice after 10 yrs as home trader

    You're in a strong position. It sounds like you have a winning methodology that is scaleable. That has value. You may have to move -- unless you're already in London -- but you seem willing to do that. Pick a place or two that you are willing to live and then start some conversations. I'm...

    So nobody must have a future account. If the FCM fails your money is gone

    There is no mystery here. You get to decide who you take the counter party risk with. For anything but the smallest of sums IB is a very good bet.

    It's not clear to me if he has blown up again or not. Can someone post a link to a solid source?

    IB is certainly a reasonable choice.

    Now you can buy bitcoin with your credit card

    Well you wouldn't jump in if you thought it was late in any move. I'm not suggesting you can throw caution to the wind but people use the term bubble as if one should be in terror. I just don't get the thinking.

    Now you can buy bitcoin with your credit card

    Can some one explain to me why I would not want to participate in a bubble? It seems to me that bubbles frequently help make people a ton of money. Just because you ride it up does not mean you must ride it down.

    Is the bookstore dead, or is AMZN just evil?

    The press -- even the Washington Post -- would jump all over Amazon if they even hinted at picking up the road kill they had just run over.

    Savants like the Rain Man

    If you consider PA essentially a language -- and I think it is -- then exposure at a very young age would almost certainly give an advantage.

    Steve Cohen

    Fantasy land. Stevie will not be begging for pennies. We can bet he is well represented and will survive just fine.

    That's my point. It's not socioeconomic dependent.

    Steve Cohen

    Do you believe a woman a bit or even quite a bit up the ladder would be less likely to seek the money? I certainly don't.

    Quitting Trading Job at my Bank to Day Trade at Home

    Consider all the cautions that ET members post but don't let any of them sway you if you still fell confident. Most guys that want to go off on their own do not have it well thought out. The fact that you can't scale it leads me to believe you might have a very good reason to leave. What is...

    Is Jeff Bezos the world's most successful con artist?

    There is simply no requirement for the market to use EPS as a benchmark at any given point. When the day comes that investor sentiment demads earnings this could well be a fine short.
