...oh Richard, you pain me beyond words. I had been under the impression that this thread enjoyed so many "hits", because so many people found it entertaining. I, as others, have noted that you have become a regular visitor to this thread. I can only think of two reasons why that might be...

OK, let’s cut the crap, and get serious – if only for a moment. From my point of view, one of the joys of writing this crap is the fact that any number of people believe it. As I have stated before, some of this stuff is absolutely true. Some of it has roots in the truth, and some of it...

fibs, and the fibbing fibers who tell them… After bidding The Elite Trader’s Journal Forum farewell for the fith time, tampa has returned! More predictable than the seasons, tampa’s hiatus did not last long. When asked by the daily skirt why he came back, the veteran journal keeper...

...perhaps one of your vertebrae?

You know what I hate? Weekends. And I really hate three day weekends. Because there is nothing to do. The market is closed. So what do you think I’m going to do – spend time with her? Perish the thought. Once upon a time I would fiddle with my charts. You know, things like change...

There will be better trades down the road…I guarantee it! That’s Woodie’s motto, and a nice motto it is. It’s one of the things that drew me to the room. Imagine, a guarantee! Now I’ve been in a few rooms in my time, (About 54 at last count) so I was sold. Well this morning...

...see above, damn-it.

…ahh man, you know, if it weren't’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. I’m sitting here counting the money I just knew I was going to bag – my first winning trade since June 7, 1981, when I racked up ¾ of a point in July Corn – when you know who burst in to my office, grabs...

Here is the first trade of the day - and it's still open. A "Ghost" - short @ 10276

I cannot emphasize the importance of resourcefulness in trading – even to the point of thinking outside of the box. If you want to be a trader, than one must be prepared for any eventuality. Take this morning, as an example. I’m sitting here, ready to go with one minute until the...

DB...you of all people should know that one cannot believe everything you read in this "journal". But to answer your questions: 1. It was diet orange soda...and I still have a large glassof it by my side...I can't drink coffee any more, damn-it. 2. I fibbed.

As we all know, this is a forum for "trading" journals. As we also know, there ain't a lot of real trading talk in this journal. So every now and then we toss a bone to the moderator - Magna The Wise. Below (I hope) is Thursday's 5 minute YM chart. Playing it VERY conservatively, there...

I resent the implication that I a) am down on my luck and b) constantly switch methods. While both may be true, I resent your implying them anyway.

...you apparently have never heard of truth serum - the wife has. ...we ain't talkin' about some chick who just fell of the turnip truck.

...you are not a nice man, Subliminal.

OH MY GOD, HE SPOKE TO ME! ...be still my heart, (that can of cat food is gonna taste a lot better tonight)

But seriously… I’ve had some fun at the expense of Woodie and his CCI Club – any group of 500+ is chock full of things to poke fun at. But here’s the low down. Woodie is for real, an older man who likes to help people become successful traders. Do his methods work? Yes – but it...

Sometimes I feel so stupid – really, really stupid. Last month I hid our brokerage statement under the hood of the car. She (the wife) found it. Why? Because she changes the oil to save money. The month before, I hid it under a cushion on the couch. She found it while looking for...

Why won’t Woodie say good morning to me? If you read this “journal” you know that I don’t have a lot to look forward to during the trading day. Every morning I sit here breathlessly awaiting Woodie’s arrival in the room. As soon as he shows up, I type in: Good Morning Woodie...
