    The Surf Report--part 2

    Did they ever finish that Xanadu complex? Last I heard it wasn't even close to fully occupied by stores. What a disaster. Not for anything, but with all the malls and shopping areas in Northern NJ why in hell did they build that thing? The whole Meadowlands is a mess. Byrne Arena is no longer...

    The Surf Report--part 2

    Yeah...I cleaned up with Ice Box when he won The Fla Derby at 25-1, but after his 2nd in Kentucky he never ran a good race again. Looks like Zito has another nice one in Dialed In. NYC OTB deserved what it got. All the higher ups were getting ridiculous salaries and the spending there was...

    Oh yes...I know the difference. You stand in front of the wave, let it smack you, flip you around, bury your face in the sand, kick the crap out of you.....and if lucky you are still on board as the wave heads back to sea. Trend followers Let that wave hit the beach, jump on as it heads...

    Bill Dunn's investors have made a FORTUNE over time. He has some big drawdowns, and some monsterous returns. If you read about Dunn he actually interviews his potential investors, warns them about volatility, then he decides if he wants then to invest. He basically says "this is what I...

    JWH is volatile as hell, no doubt. But come on Surf, they have had 100%+ yearly returns in the past. Your arguments, as usual, are weak. You are the one who always preaches" you have to take risk !". You routinely have huge drawdowns with your trading calls. You go for the kill and...

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6363485 Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Good riddance. Another fine pick by Cramer. Didn't Jim call him one of the trading world's top guys? Dykstra's trading strategy was great..take small winners, never get out of losers.

    The Surf Report--part 2

    Surf...so let me get this straight. Let's say you sell 1000 shares at 144.95 and it crumbles you will be holding only 1000 shares. But..if it continues to go higher you will be holding another 2000 shares at 2 higher prices for a total of 3000. So your small position will be a nice winner...

    Patak Trading

    Nothing.....it's very possible......I actually traded there. My desk consisted of me, Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, Loch Ness Monster, and Bigfoot. They must be getting a nice part of the commissions charged with that trading philosophy. Trade a ton, but keep tight stops. REFCO II.

    Patak Trading

    The tight stops you use will produce nothing but a group of scared traders. 500 bucks loss trading 5 e-mini's ? If your goal is to become another Refco and just want guys churning a ton of commission then your plan is perfect. Some of the rules you guys have posted on here are horrendous...

    Patak Trading

    Good luck to those trading 5 lots of SP's with a 2 point total loss limit. Also like the rule about not being able to trade contracts with more than a 1 tick spread. No Gold or Crude...then again....why would anyone want to trade a contract that is volatile and offers tons of opportunity...

    Man.....I hope the mkt continues to get hit.......but Surf is really messing with the trading gods here. The more he gloats...posts about how good a "trader" he has turned into...the more he is tempting them to run the mkt back up. If Surf continues this we could see 1400 in the SPX today by...
