Lest the noobs among you be tempted to cry "Fake! Fraud! You post during trading hours!" You are right on the first two counts. But I made my money this morning. My frail old heart can't take these looooooong afternoon consolidations any more. And Unhappy Hour starts early on Fridays hereabouts.

Banjo, the one cultural crossover exception being Mary Shelley's creation of the good doctor's monster. But that never happens now.

My apologies, Leth(?)n. I will go read some of your posts to see if further insults are warranted.

Banjob, I am humbugged. I cuntn't have said it more cynically. Women will always triumph because they own fifty percent of the wealth and one huindred percent of the pussy. We men are but houndogs forever sniffing it out hoping to trade a bone for it.

M. Taon, there may yet be hope. I notice of late (or of early) an increasing number of new imposters whose tentative language and paucity of prose suggest non-Anguish speakers spreading their wangs. I think fresh noobpidity may lurk therein. Of course inability to use definite or indefinite...

Lethn (so por he cannt affrd a secnd vowl in his handl) wears his or her youth like a kick-me sign. Not all noobs are noobile. Some of us are quite eiderly.

ET is a valuable resource for many reasons, trading advice not being one of them. ET is useful chiefly as a barometer of trends in our indubitably dubious subculture. In this case of decreasing noobpidity. I submit as proof that: No new "Trade and Grow Rich!" books have been hawked here for...

Thank you all for your daytrading euphemisms and euphuisms. But with respect I must decline to use them. I tell people who ask what I do, "Do remember all those times when your 401K cratered day after day? Until over half of it was lost? Yes? That was due to people like me relentlessly and...

Jem, thanks for posting, and my sincere best wishes for rebuilding your grubstake. Next time at least have some fun and piss it away on women. Wjk, funny story. I open carry in my own yard, prefectly legal. Nobody ever drops by. Rabbi-tone, thanks for the advice. But usually only toes are...

No, Omomilob, I use a stop optimized to the particular system in play.

Now that I am retire-ded (be careful how you say that, boy!), I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of me. Else, why would I post in this din of inequity? Anyway, when people ask me what I do now, and I tell them "I'm retired," and they ask hoping to embarrass me "So what do you do useful in...

.32 ACP? I guess if you just want to get their attention. "Woo hoo! Over here you big bad boy!" Maybe if you could stick it in their ear. Heckle and Cock? I hope the guy so casually dry firing it used a snapcap. .45? I prefer that they not be able to see the bullets lazily approaching. The first...

Thank you, 300, for your advice. I do so love shotguns, and in the house I am never more than five minutes away from one hobbling painfully on my cane. But a combat shotgun won't hep yo much iffn yo cain't git tew it. So I drape myself with an assortment of handguns to fight my way there. Home...

Henry, I am indeed Amurikun, and a repeater. I am deadly accurate with my 6 inch 357 Taurus 608 or my S&W 9mm 5906. But who can carry either, much less both? So I must settle for random hits with my 380 and 9mm mouseguns. One in the pants in an appendix SmartCarry. Another IWB in a Crossbreed...

Always happy to entertain. But I wouldn't dream of trying to teach a high IQ like yours.

The extreme case would be going to see a gynecologist about your prostate. Like stocks versus futures.

RN, I will only add to your own shooting wisdom that when I go to the range I always put the target waaaaay further away than I expect accuracy with whatever I am shooting. Par exemple I shoot pocket 380's at 25 yards. It's kind of like system trading where I may have four or five losses in a...

I suppose a coprophagic response is better than none at all, and par for ET. Re "small time loser", yes, I do try to lose small. Re "regular mom and pop", I am anatomically incapable of being both. But I am an irregular grandpop. Re "high IQ", I have found that stupidity actually helps. If I...

IMO every trading vehicle exhibits its own peculiar idiosyncratic behavior. The longer you watch just one, the more you learn about it. But what you learn may or may not be applicable to other vehicles. Also, once you learn one, you may be loath to change. It is very easy to fall in love, and...

This is yet another entry in what must seem to ET to be an endless stream of irrelevant drivel about the psychological benefits of system trading. Sort of in the vein of the marketing strategy "If you can't fix it feature it." Take today, f'rinstance. It's futures rollover day. No news. You...
