    The Tao of Publias

    Publias is right Stu. Only I really "know" him. And I assure you he really does have 1000 books on his shelf. But what he fails to mention is the other 990 are Dr. Seuss and Winny the Pooh. (and obviously some coloring books....how do you think he developed his talent?) But nonetheless, he is...

    Well Faster, I tried. Twice as you can see. Buy me a power backup for chistmas. That was a lot to type twice. The first one was actually longer. RS7

    100% Return In 9 Trading Days!!!!

    These people are a source of income for us. I wouldn't complain too much about it. The more amateurs, the easier it is for us. Remember how easy it was when everyone and their grandmother was trading their e-trade and ameritrade accounts? Bring back Stuart and Mr. P.!!!! RS7

    Faster, my man. I just wrote a lengthy diatribe and then had a power surge and lost it all. But since you have always been so kind to me in both your words and actions, I will attempt it all again JUST FOR YOU!!! Trading in the morning.... specifically the open (9:30...how can I address your...

    Keeping it Simple

    My feelings exactly. This goes well with my style because as I have said, I prefer to use a "shotgun" approach. I will hold many smaller positions rather than fewer or even single positions. This is also why I am not trading e-minis. As I readily admit, my timing is not that perfect. If I am...

    100% Return In 9 Trading Days!!!!

    1: Schwab brokers don't get paid on commissions. At least according to their advertising. So being good? I thought they were order takers. 2: Penny stocks...always a wise investment. 3: Throwing "savings" at this "opportunity"....this has to be a joke. 4: Too many of us here have been...

    100% Return In 9 Trading Days!!!!

    Just a guess, but I will stick my neck out and say this whole thread is a goof. It makes so little sense, I can't believe I am even responding. But I won't vote....that will be my way of "demonstrating". However, if on the remote chance that Permabull is serious, well, I would have to go...

    option scanners

    You are right....I got the scanning from proprietary sources. I had forgotten about that. We had a lot of computers, and I had little knowledge of them at the time. (late 80's like you said) But essentially the schwartzatron did the same kind of "what if" plotting that Optionvue is most useful...

    option scanners

    I can use a little help here...because I am not up to date on this. But Reuters had something called Schwartzatron (not positive on the spelling). Is it still around? It was THE tool used by market makers when I worked at the CBOE, which was a while ago. RS7

    Mr Subliminal's Remote Trading Journal

    Two of the very best traders I have ever known are Russians. Certainly not communists. On the other hand, they left Russia to come to America. (But economics was not their motivation). RS7

    Keeping it Simple

    Yup, my whole premise summed up nicely. You only need to be right such a small amount of times more than wrong. Consider the numbers. Take it to an extreme and say that you can be right 1/2 of 1% more than wrong (net after costs). If you could do this consistently (an every day basis) you...

    Keeping it Simple

    Well I have never traded at home. But the other stuff? Well, hell, did I not 'fess up to washing dishes, being a simpleton, etc., etc.? BTW, my wife is one tough bit....uh, lady. She is an attorney, so that should give you a hint. So I am very careful to avoid temptation. Because I hate...

    Keeping it Simple

    Thanks Stu. As a worthless footnote, I actually did know of some folks that could predict (to a degree) the outcome of a roulette wheel. However, they could not be accurate enough to predict an exact number. Just a section of the wheel. Know how they did this? They cheated. The dealer...

    Keeping it Simple

    Not sure what this is supposed to mean. However as I have CLEARLY stated, I do not trade my own money. So it would be highly improper for me to post my statements. The wonderful thing is that if you find my comments of little or no value, you may disregard every word.

    Interviews

    And be well groomed. I have interviewed guys that came in unshaven and needing a haircut, etc. A first impression is a one time shot.
