LOL! I was one of those small-cap day traders back then, (before my broker clamped down on the PDT rule), and they handed me my ass in a little stock, (XTND, no longer traded). It was about 5 a share and had a wide enough spread that I would try to get in between the bid and ask and catch the...

Santa Fe settlers are “churlish types” who are “accustomed to live apart from each other, as neither fathers nor sons associate with each other."—Governor Fermín de Mendinueta, c. 1776.

Stopped out of LF this morning at 9.90

According to the World Bank, the USA is the 4th most business friendly country in the world. Haiti is the least business friendly. Just as an optimist sees the glass half full where a pessimist sees it half empty, you can look at the USA and say it's unfrienldy to do business when a customer can...

Residents of Reno live farther west than I do here in San Diego.

As long as Romney did nothing illegal, it doesn't matter if he's had low tax bills. He needs to release them now and get it over with. The longer he waits, the worse it will be. Scandals that break after Labor Day tend to stick with a candidate until election day.

Any updates yet? Have any of your trades been busted?

ooops, double post

Here is a sample of a Social Security statement from 2006: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms/images/SSA7/G-SSA-7005-SM-SI-1.pdf At that time it said that it expected the Social Security Trust Fund would be exhausted by 2040. Now, I have the last one I received in March of 2010 that has that...

Another interesting point on Bacon: "In 1990, a series of winning bets he made that Saddam Hussein would invade Kuwait and would be quickly routed with no lasting market impact became the foundation of his legend -- securing a 115 percent two-year investment return and a flood of investment...

From the article: "More so, however, is the psychic impact. For this super-competitive breed, to admit that that a market has confounded them is to concede a small measure of defeat." This market has been kicking my as for a year and a half now, and it seems to be due to gyrations from the...

Louis Bacon is giving back $2B to his investors: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/hedge-fund-titan-plans-return-152508776.html This article seems to imply that he is doing it in order to cut down the size of his funds to be competitive in this crisis-strewn marketplace. Any comments, darkhorse? And...

-$315. That's how close it was. I had a losing month for only $315. FUCK!!! I had this month in the bag and lost it on the last day. Back in 2005 I had a six month win streak, and I haven't been able to beat it yet. So - tonight I drink this box of wine. Tommorrow I get back to work on a 7...

No, no futures. I don't need some sticky-fingered FCM grabbing my money to gamble on Euro sovereign debt or buying condos for his girlfriend. I'm a stock jockey who occaisionally dips into options, (although I haven't traded options for over five years now).

Crap. Last day of the month and this will make my 2nd losing month in a row. The last time I had 2 losing months in a row was June of 2010. :mad:

Bozeman Main Street in 1875: Bozeman Main Street today:

Stopped out this morning at 13. Looks like they released an earnings report that the market did not like. It was still a very nice run.

Bicycle riding any time of the day or night in my neighborhood, (Hillcrest in San Diego), is insane. The streets are narrow, congested and full of drunk drivers.
