    Don's Openings Pt. 2

    if it prints above yesterday's price than it is an automatic uptick CRY had an indication to print either 6 points below yesterday's close or 8 point below. I just knew if I could get that first print my risk would be very limited for a short Robert

    Beating Larry Williams record

    You are missing the point. He HAD $10,000 to start with but when his capital grew he wasn't using positions of $10,000 worth of stock. They were positions of $3 million....plus. His hedge fund had a 50% drawdown. Trading is all about position size.

    Beating Larry Williams record

    WHoa! That is an understatement! You missed his marketing scheme. With a "$10,000" investment this is his "return" Someone who put half his money in one stocks and than uses 2x margin and puts up his account value on another stock with $18 million dollars isn't using a $10,000...
