max, You are as diligent as ever. Congrats.

Tomorrow we rally.

I don't know who programmed Google, but that search engine is second-to-none. One time I was talking to a friend, and she started singing lyrics -- so I quickly and quietly types the lyrics (4 or 5 words) in google along with lyrics. For instance ... "What's love go to do" lyrics Would...

That's fine -- but what about those days you wake up and make $2k before your hard-on goes limp? Meanwhile I am still half asleep next to the copy machine trying to act like I'm doing real work before one of my bosses comes by to give me more shit. If you're trading full-time, you are...

I'm through with voting. It is clear to me that this nation is run by the state of Florida. There is a serious problem with things when I know more counties in Florida than I do in my home state.

The less I know the better off I will be. Seriously though, Gordon had one bad period in one afternoon in one day. The day before that he was kicking ass. I fail to understand why a trader is going to put rope around his neck for one day. Trading is probabilities over time -- not single...

Gentleman's bets please. Third week of October.

Drugs cause crime? How so? Are you suggesting that the high crime rate is from drug usage itself or from the laws against drug use? One could argue that the reason why crime rates are so high when related to drug usage is because drug prices are highly inflated from being illegal...

To the gentleman that mentions Corporate life with some paradise scheme -- What are you smoking? Corporate life SUCKS! You go into a job where you always have more than one boss in an atmosphere where an axe is always grinding somewhere. You live your life day by day hoping that the next...

According to all the former brokers in here, about 5%. However, you have to keep in mind that some people reach a comfort level. Even if the system is still very sound, can everyone handle the pyschology of having $25,000 drawdowns in one day? Probably not. If 10 contracts is someone's...

Those are locked or crossed markets ... and no, you can't profit from it.

It sure is getting close to DOW 6000's

It got held up at the bank if you are really interested. If you want further details, you're just going to have to subscribe to my weekly newsletter.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/818319.asp?0dm=C15LB Apparently Bush may intervene afterall. Quite frankly, he really has nothing to lose at this point. Holiday sales are already affected by this -- it just gets worse each day. The economics of the entire situation is complex. A lot of people...

The port closures on the west coast are costing the US economy over one billion dollars per day. The ships that should now be back in Asia reloading more cargo are still sitting in the ports with all their original cargo still onboard. Furthermore, consumer spending is one of the most...

They are moving in the right direction. I like what they've done so far, but I think they could improve their charting. I'm not sure what language they are writing their code in, but I don't know if they are taking full advantage of directX routines, etc. However, for the non-picky, it...

Max, Have you ever thought about applying for a job as ambassador to a third world country? Perhaps there is good work for you as a diplomat or an orator for the U.N.?

Well said! Intelligence is great -- but discipline is king.

Just like when we got to the top, when the most unsavvy investors / traders start opening up new accounts at Dean Witter and sticking it in the "Big Bad Bear" fund, then we will know that the bottom is upon us. In the meantime, the trend is obviously down. We won't have a bottom until...

def, Don't worry. Since you work for IB you will probably have access to my account statements. 300% will be a bad month for me. :D
