Your emotional state has no epistemological basis by which we can automatically infer an intellectual position and therefore has no value to the rest of us in a discussion about the theme of his article--hating the good for being good. You are free, of course, to elaborate on precisely why you...

Yes, I agree. There's something more sinister at work here and I believe it's explained well in this article. I mean, what type of vile person (let alone a Man, rather than some petty little schoolgirl) cares how anyone else manages his or her affairs, particularly when it doesn't have ANY...

http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3451 I agree with this article.

MaxMin, Thank you for an outstanding thread. Your thoughts quoted above reminded me of a song by Aimee Mann titled "Wise Up." I believe it was the theme song to the Tom Cruise movie "Magnolia" a few years back. It's not a song about trading per se, but the first stanza crystallized in a...

It could be that nobody is supposed to talk to Fight Club. (Or was it nobody is supposed to talk about Fight Club?) I know you reminded me once, but I forget after a while. Maybe everyone else does, too. :eek: But while I'm here... this is from IB's website. I went to "Search"...

Excellent advice, great style, lots of class. Thanks for posting, Stratcat.

Definitely. The elimination of fear and greed is a mistake. They are both natural emotions. It is what values hierarchy these emotions are hooked to that screws traders up. It's essential to fear losing trades, and act to get out; be greedy about the wins, and let them ride. That was my...

Heh heh. My dad, a golfer, used to coach me about putting when I was a kid. I'd often hit the ball too lightly, on track, but without sufficient oomph to make it into the cup. He'd remind me, "Never up, never in." It took me, oh, about another 40 years to figure out what he meant. But...

I'd say that our current base of real knowledge (in which tenfly's POSSIBILITY today is reasonable--that life exists elsewhere in the universe) would immediately become a PROBABILITY, which is a whole new level up within the spectrum of certainty. It would be a monumental discovery. And it...

Hmm... let me see. dit-dah-dah dit dit-dah dah dit-dit-dit-dit dit dit-dah-dit Well, no significant impact that I could see. :D http://www.babbage.demon.co.uk/morseabc.html And sorry, NoMoreOptions, I know it's off topic but I couldn't resist.

Primacy of consciousness arguments are invalid since existence exists. The Law of Identify is axiomatic; it is impossible to even grasp concepts let alone communicate them without invoking it--and that includes even blatantly irrational ones. Perception is reality; the evidence of our senses...

I have to find agreement with Turok on this one: The question as posed is immaterial to determining a proof for any diety. Furthermore, I know of no such proof. And Faith, by definition, means believing in things for which no proof is possible; in other words "whim worship" akin to "I feel...

No problem at all. I write for myself. If others find value in it, it's through my generosity which is reward in itself. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to formulate, structure, and post a response. I had fun. :)

Hi coffeezoo. Yeah, I've done a bit of digging in my day. :) I guess it's like someone wanting to get from NYC to LA. I probably won't find a person on the planet who'd be able to tell me precisely the exact vector (mileage and direction) to hit it squarely from 3000 miles away. But...

I knew this would eventually happen. The question borders on being an amphiboly and, as such, it was bound to be interpreted in one of two ways: a) What is one quality necessary to succeed, and b) What is THE one quality necessary to succeed. This implies no criticism of anyone else's post...

Okay, snoop, thanks for the clarification. We're cool. :cool:

I respectfully disagree with this portion of your statement. To you and I and others at this point in our careers, yes, we don't need a chatroom. As I said, to me they're all distractions now. To a beginner who will listen and NOT jump into each call in the hopes of making a quick buck...

UT's record speaks for itself. I am not a participant of that chat room, although I did spend two years there some time ago. Yes, I was stupider than most and it took me that long to "get it." Now that I know how to trade, my style is my own, it is one that does not tolerate distractions of...

My favorite strategy is the one I trust. :) The hardest is anything anyone else has devised that I haven't yet made my own through lots of work and understanding. :( The real answer is that there are no shortcuts. And while you might not completely understand what I just wrote, you will...

That's what makes a market, charlie. :D
