Don't think of being in the movie biz. Because if you think that true stories -- and this one was damn loose about the truth -- are not supposed to entertain than what will you do for an audience? You want only historians to attend? Weak damn movie.

Great idea!!

Agree 100% with the characterization of both. Wall Street 2 was pure crap and Margin Call was disappointing. The weak link is always script. Good actors are out there in droves yet good writing always seems in short supply.

I think The Battle for Investment Survival has value but more value to an investor than a trader and I think Reminiscenses has more value to a trader. I don't see how anyone can knock either book and they are both, particularly Reminiscenses , easy reads.

Surprise, Surprise -- Politicians love easy credit. cheap money and letting the good times roll.

Yes he did trade futures but by was known for trading equities in huge size. I think his general conditions comment would apply to every instrument he traded but the majority of time that was stocks.

Miss too many valid with trend entries -- consolidations, second legs etc. -- and your chances of being a profitable trader become nill. Being fixated on the upcoming counter trend (yes, we all know it will come ... at some point) frequently results in missed wth trend entries. Best...

Been there (more than once), done that (more often than I care to admit) and am not going back. The first order of business as you watch a trend that you're not in (or not as heavily in as you should be) is to observe the move in the hope of finding a setup and trade location that allowsyou to...

Yes ... I recall that you were far from the currency camp. Enjoy your weekend.

Many thanks. Here is the difference in our viewpoints: I don't regard it as a currency but rather as a commodity. It may be a currency someday but at that point a grat deal of the volitility will be gone. BTW, I don't own any BC and may never own any but it is interesting!

Hoi, I have been following your Bitcon posts with interest ... well thought out stuff. But the one thing I take issue with is your opinion that it is irrelevant if there are a few large holders or many holders. I think it is always a good idea -- if you can -- to know how the float is...

Quite difficult to test. The sample size is a killer.

There are no advocates here for him , or anyone, being force fed. The primary objection was to his jumping not to his ending it.

But to a 70 year old woman that walks with a cane seeing (or worse yet being the landing pad) would be traumatizing. I know the block he lived on well -- most New Yorkers do -- and it is far from a sleepy street. Common sense tells you that jumping where people might be hurt is a damn...

He did not die broke ... whether he had kids or not.

My guess is no way to get what you want at that price point.

I'm not sure I see the point of making additional comments once the definitive answer is on the table ... and it is. Why would I sell a stock at 50 that I bought at 35 a few days before I get my tax reprieve? Unless I'm pretty sure negative news is about to break (or I'm an imbecile) I wait...

I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

While I initially cheered his decision to pull the plug I agree that the plug was pulled in a manner that was rude and messy. In his defense, his faculties may have been impaired intereering with his ability to think straight. Leaving the suicide aside, I think we can all agree that it was a...

We are not getting off topic here ... only YOU got off topic. Here is what YOU said: "No, murder is a sin, in most countries." I simply corrected YOUR statement because the statement is rediculous. Got it? YOU give us the distinction as if we need to learn about the difference when in...
