    Jessie- i like the way you think! beer on campus sounds great. My decision was very easy...since my family had very little money, and my grades were not good enough for scholarship, I did what I thought would make me most happy. I went to the bookstore and looked in one of those college...

    Can this market get any more pathetic

    I've been contemplating doing the NY-NJ Long Trail which runs from Albany,NY (where I live) to Fort Lee, NJ. It's roughly 320miles..but apparently there are now some sections that have been blocked off by private land owners and there are no marked alternate routes. Do you know if what route...

    Happy Anniversary to Me!

    Thank you friends. There are many experiences that I may re-cap on this thread in hopes that I will get more insight into the game. And perhaps a newbie will learn somehing too.

    The Surf Report

    Great job Surf! I wear my "Inspired speculation" hat with pride. Hmmm maybe I should put it up for auction on E-bay. I might have the hat that is no longer available. A collectors item! This hat is well worn. No tears...but some sweat stains that should come out in the wash. Any bidders?:D

    advanced futures and global futures

    168- If it was at 10:30 est lots if not everyone lost mini data...I use j-trader from another firm and it went out for a good 2minutes or so. And i know people who were on other platforms w/ other firms lost it at the same time I did...so it may have been a Globex issue.

    Favorite movie qoutes that apply to trading

    This thread is turning into , "Why the movie, Heat,is so great". Talk about discipline. Near the end when Neil comes out of the hotel he barely hesitates to turn and run when he spots Pacino's character coming after him. No extra risk for his girlfriend. He had his rules and he stuck to...

    Favorite movie qoutes that apply to trading

    Heat , is one of my favorites too. I gotta get the DVD , the street shoot out scene must be sick with the surround sound turned up. How about this line: "You do't have time to think up there. You think, you're dead."Tom Cruise,TopGun That applies to my trading plan.
