    Advertising on ET

    Over the last couple of weeks I've gotten emails and PM's from 11 different individuals who are hoping to start a trading related service and want to use ET for doing so. I hope that will mean a good amount of business for Baron, but most a lot of people coming here, including some current...

    A Warning For Potential/New Traders

    What does your stupid Jack Hershey rant have to do with anything on this thread. As to spyder showing up in NYC at surfs toney party looking like a bum, so what? I spoke at the Dallas trading expo five years ago in sweat pants and a tshirt (admittedly it was because I thought my presentation was...

    If You Want To be A Thug, Punching People Randomly, Beware: Video

    Neither would have anyone else. I know of a guy who was walking in the park and came across a man who was beating up his wife, he walked over to stop it and put the guy who was beating his wife in the hospital and the entire town considered him a hero and threw the wife beating punk in jail when...

    Has anybody taught a close relative how to trade?

    I think it probably depends upon the level of poverty you live with. We did not have hot water or heat, except from the wood burning stove, until I was in 4th grade. Everything we ate came from the garden and turkey's we raised. I had a fine life at home with a supportive family, and when the...

    Has anybody taught a close relative how to trade?

    He is already going to have a pretty cushy life and I have done more than enough to assure that will happen. I just dont see how he will have the determination and grit it takes to trade when his idea of a tough time is if the pool man is taking too long and he wants to cool off. I wouldnt wish...

    Has anybody taught a close relative how to trade?

    I agree with most of that. Discipline, tenacity and the ability and think and believe big will take you very far in life, even without the benefit of a degree. I myself dropped out and have done well, so I know its possible. However, there is no reason to make things harder on him than they need...

    McBush claims in the 21st century "Nations don't invade other nations"

    He is losing ground every day as more and more people figure out what he is really all about. It's too bad because McCain could bring us into WW3, the problem is that Obama is such a puss our enemies might figure they could start it anyway.

    How to build a resume to work as a trader?

    I agree with you on the statistical analysis. I'm hoping to get another fund managment company going that can live on beyond me (wont be hard) and generate money for cancer research, esp the orphans, and I really hope I'm one of the dumbest people in the room as I hire people. Princeton has a...

    Goldman calls a bottom to the USD

    There is nothing wrong with a trend so long as there is a valid reason for it to be in place. When that occurs, you should buy in that direction, you certainly have momentum and fools on your side. There is also nothing wrong with buying near the end of a trend, or shorting near the end of...

    Goldman calls a bottom to the USD

    I suspect they are correct, but my long position over the last two months might have me biased.

    Methods for buying stocks

    I just got done reading Trader Mark's article “The Last Days of the Long Investor” on seekingalpha.com, and while generally I've enjoyed his stuff and don't find too much to disagree with, in this case I have to disagree with a good portion of it. One point I do agree with is that...

    What Will It Take?

    Much of the greatness that came out of America was from the culture of working hard, pride in your work, your family, your country. We no longer have that, and without it we wont be great again. Asia has that in spades. America is a sick old man.

    Pure Tick - Last Day for Trading Alerts

    With everyone saying how hard it is to get a service up and going, that no one can make money at it anymore etc, I'm half tempted to start one up again. God knows that with medical bills etc I could use the extra 20K or so a month :) I also did actually enjoy it, which is why I guess i'm still...

    Pure Tick - Last Day for Trading Alerts

    I've never been into their room or on the site, so I dont have any real clue as to what they offer. My guess though by how often I see them on Google addwords, here etc and by the number of people being reported as in the room is that 70 members is a fairly reasonable number. I'm not sure what...

    Former BSC banker, Harvard grad to teach cupcakes

    My guess would be that if you make more for the bank than you cost they would still keep you, so I would suspect that the traders losing their jobs are not ones who would have much of a shot on their own, they probably made a lot of their money off commission business, not trading for the bank.
