I agree with Acrary's post as regards focusing on desire to excel in competitive situations. One needs a great resume just to be considered. To be chosen, a candidate must show something exceptional to the employer. Exceptional desire to win is one of those things that "catches the eye". Best...

Hello: Always nice to consider thoughtful comments on this subject. I think that all we CAN control is our emotional state. It is hard to develop that discipline, but one can do it. I learned how by hard experience and with the help of others. It took years. Today I can key in a limit buy...

There you go. In my view it is about just that. That is why I suggest that you have to avoid the feeling of being overwhelmed. If you can step back, and become an observer, you have a chance to control the situation (and your emotions). Good luck Steve

Gotta say, Maverick is right on the button here. I agree. Steve

Hey LD: Have you read the Steve46 thread? Do you understand the content of the thread. In it, several posters talk about how Samson approached them to "refer" his mentor to them. Then they were asked to buy a system that was stolen from Linda Raschke for $6,000. I bought that same info for...

Okay: I have one general comment that might help. Just speaking for myself. I remember my state of mind when getting filled. I remember "tick watching". I remember talking to the screen just like the previous poster. I remember (and this is my main point) the feeling of OVERWHELMING FEAR...

Hey Choad: No worries man. I know you. I consider you a person of good will. You aren't posting to disrupt. I will have more to say about trading in a bit. Carry on Steve

Geez Samson: I am getting a kick out of this. Look at all the trouble you went to to convince us that you aren't "Woody". Look folks he used the spell checker....man I am completely fooled.... I have to say, the rest of us are laughing out loud as you post one persona after another...

Oh you're leaving? Great, don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out. :D

Bitstream: Here is what you are missing. When Ozzy posted this thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60755 over 3,000 ET members read about Samson's real business. It effectively shut him down. Basically no one who has read this is going to take him seriously...

Hey Samson, How's it going? Did you know that the thread titled "steve46" now has over 3,557 page views? Pretty soon almost 10% of the people here will have read about you. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60755 I am guessing we will get to 4,000 this weekend...

Hey man, don't say nothin 'bout Santa!

Hey Samson: You and your alias Woody like to pay visits to my threads, so I will do you the same favor. SOS, if you get a chance just look for the thread with my name in Feedback. "Steve46" has 3,521 page views as of today. The reason for this is that people here got pissed at Samson...

So far I haven't seen any action from the moderator for this thread. Apparently he or she would prefer that this degenerates into a situation where I slap Samson and Walter a round a bit more. Funny, I will bet that Baron would prefer the first alternative, but hey lets go around a little bit...

Brokebackboy/Walther No prob. I am sure we all get the idea. Your suggesting I'm gay. Wow, what will I ever do to recover from that one. Poor old guy. Steve

Okay so here's how we will do this. First, an answer to Samson's/Woody's post. People change their methods as they go along. If they are working at trading, they are constantly looking for an edge. I realize that you aren't actually trading, so you might think this is unusual. In the past...

I think it is interesting. Both the concept (Dr. Baumeister) and the replies you got. In general, I think people make poor choices because they suffer from "lack of perspective". This lack of perspective is similar to when people speed on the freeway trying to get ahead of the next guy...

I agree with your points Mike. I hope people take it to heart. Thanks for helping out.

Okay here is the chart for the day after the most recent FOMC meeting on December 14, 2005. You can see the previous day's action in the frame as well. Again it seems like the action is essentially a continuation of the same (flat) trend. What I am pointing out here is that the best way to...
