    Frankly I don't get it. Are you supposed to get an award for getting it right today? I do this on a regular basis, no one gives me applause for doing my job. You on the other hand expect what? a bouquet? Maybe getting it right one day IS a big deal for you. Congratulations on getting...

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    Chances of reorganization are relatively high. The company cannot hold its share price which is the main indicator of public sentiment, and labor costs if not adjusted in favor of GM, will eventually drive the company into the ground. People are speculating that Bush will step in to save...

    Carlin Trading -- should I leave them?

    Just leave, you are getting screwed. Save enough to pay 6 mos expenses and go on your own, or find another desk and deal. Make sure you are consistently profitable before you move out. Document your trading record very well. Then just be patient and look around in your spare time...

    traders who are deeply religious

    Well that is an interesting and myopic "take" on the subject. It should be obvious that mental health problems attack people regardless of religious belief. If we look to countries where organized religion was banned, generally one can say that communism was a total failure in East...

    How many of you save anything?

    I pay taxes on my business's earned income like any other businessman. I have no other business so I pay quarterly estimated taxes. I suggest you see a good accountant if you have questions. Steve

    Orange County, CA???

    I have lived in Newport on Edwards Isle and at Park Newport. There are a lot of groups out that way, and the kids have their own thing going on the peninsula. Personally I liked the island and areas like Corona Del Mar. You have to know where to go, but eventually you can see who is who and...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Acro You know I am very sympathetic to your comment. For an engineer, math is where we live. It is hard to know how you feel about it, but all my life I have heard comments like yours, and I know people who have trouble with math. What I will suggest is the following. Approach math as...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Hi: You obviously have a winning game. Thats the big hurdle in this business. The next challenge is to keep it and to see if you can improve your results. Part of what I am talking about relates the the questions I asked (the ones that some traders believe are "unimportant"). What I have...

    How many of you save anything?

    I distribute earnings on a weekly basis. As Tony Oz used to say "Friday is payday". I haven't missed many fridays. Naturally a percentage goes to savings. Another good saying that works is "pay yourself first". I have found that those who really understand that one generally have savings...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Agreed. We got detoured on a subject that CW should have taken over to USENET to an appropriate special interest group. I dont think I will ever feel the same when I look at a magic marker. Steve Edit: Is there really an interest group for people who like to autograph their own nuts...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Yes I can certainly see that. You are all about substance. I think you should autograph your nuts first, then photo and scan I am guessing you will need a camera with a macro lens however :D Good luck with that, and if you don't mind I will be referring to you as "Mr. Substance" from...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Hey no prob Thousand Hey one thing though, is there some tradition overseas where a guy will offer to post an autographed picture of his nuts? I cant figure it out, but maybe you know something about this that I dont know. How does it work, should Coolweb autograph his nuts first, then take...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Please if you don't mind. The "nut sucking" comments make me a little nauseous. Also it sounds like it would hurt. You might want to step up your plans to learn more English. Just a friendly suggestion. Steve Edit: You know I think many of us would be interested to see if you would...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    "With my setups, I can be wrong 20 times in a row and still be net profitable. You on the other hand, don't even leave for a piss buddy." Thank you, I am sure that you are often wrong as much as 20 times in a row. Congratulations? I dont piss with "buddies", perhaps you are used to using...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Well JB I appreciate that characterization. I do want to emphasize that there is a reality that we have to get tuned to, or we end up broke. The market decides. It took me a long time. Apparently I was a slow learner.

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    Your command of the language gets a little shaky when you are angry. Perhaps you should take a moment to compose yourself. I can't for the life of me make out what you are saying there at the end...:D but you do have a talent for comedy. I can really appreciate that. By the way, do you...

    Are you one of the best in your field?

    As to your question I have no idea. But I know how to find out. You just model your system using Excel. You enter your average number of trades, winners and losers over a statistically significant amount of data, and then play "what if" What if you took only 2 tick losers max What if...
