    Good answer. But not accurate enough. Now I am admittedly not the brightest guy here. As of this moment, there are 12,798 members. Of these, probably 12,796 are smarter than me and Fasterpussycat who are tied for last. But still, I figured this one out in my head while driving (my friend gave...

    My young friend, you are right on top. George Bernard Shaw!!! Exactly. Odds: you were 1:99, I knew you would know. I just put you as a quinella bet to get you motivated. Besides, Don B. wasn't on line. Entries should have not been allowed until a specified time. OK. here's an exotic one...

    Any daytraders from Florida?

    Palm Beach here. No great raves. Expensive and very very crowded during the season. I would much prefer Colorado. Better here than S. California. Worst place I lived was Las Vegas.

    Save your money. Don't buy stuff by guys that haven't been dead at least 400 years. You never know when these newbies will go out of fashion. I shorted a few Picassos last week, and cleaned up on some Gauguins a few months back also on the short side. Speaking of short side, stay away from...

    Time limit for someone to claim erroneous trade.

    Since there is no "market price" during non trading hours, all trades are done and agreed to by the participants. So yes, you could, in theory, but a $50 stock for a penny. Take a look at an Instinet terminal and you will see absurdly low bids and high offers all the time. (these may also show...

    This is exactly right. Everyone here talks about making 100% plus a year. The good ones make over 1% a day! The mediocre only 10% a month. Make a legitimate consistent 25% a year, and you will have them lined up at your door to give you money. It's all about numbers. The arithmetic I read...

    Faster, let me express my regrets if I have hurt your feelings. Here's the deal: Sometimes people invite other people to make fun of them. You do that. At least to me. So don't take it personally. I like you fine. Think of it as when you are with your friends and you break each others' chops...

    Time limit for someone to claim erroneous trade.

    Series 55 stuff. I don't remember the exact time limit, but there is one. (30 minutes?). But if it was done prior to or after regular trading hours, then the trade stands unless you agree to break it. RS7

    I received a PM today from one of the good guys here at ET. He pointed out that one of the members (Bono) had stated that he was affiliated somehow with that other site and that he liked some of my posts. I now remember that he asked me if I was interested in contributing. I declined...

    Well, I found it.....http://www.stockhits.com/site/id60.html Absolutely, it is what I wrote here, word for word. How it got on that site, I have no idea! I assure you I never posted it there. Obviously someone copied it onto that site. It was not me. I guess I should be flattered. It is...

    I couldn't find it. Maybe it was copied. I have no idea. If it was, I am not aware of it. I will look again when I have time. Thanks, RS7

    This is utterly ridiculous. Faster, what on earth would make you think that I am Superego? Tell me one single thing that we have in common? One thing we agree upon. I always maintained that his boastful style was annoying, but more importantly I clearly felt that his "techniques" were less than...

    I don't understand the question....did I write the "successful trading" stuff on ET? Yes. Are you refering to something different? ??? RS7

    Superego? Sure Faster, bring him back! If you remember how:) I am the guy that said to keep trading "simple". SuperEgo said he would make trading "easy". Obviously, his way is the better way. I never knew how to make it easy. Looking forward to hearing from you.....er, I mean HIM...

    Keeping it Simple

    Some things can be "said" with implication. You can create a feeling of ill will without coming right out and saying what you mean, just meaning what you say: Now, you should be "happy". Good luck, rs7
