We made it, what, two maybe three months without a "fuq CNBC" thread? About time somebody started bashing them again. One of these days I'm going to start a thread on how to turn the channel on your TV. Unless somebody beats me to it by starting one on how to turn your TV off.

He stopped publishing The Professional Tape Reader and started one that is for institutions only. He still appears as a guest on Nightly Business Report from time to time.

I just stopped reading The Disciplined Trader by Douglas. This is my second attempt at it. I bought it years ago, and I didn't like it. Then I saw all of the raves about it here, so I decided to give it a second chance. It's a book I just can't pick up. Horrible. With such profound statements...

It took me four years to turn the corner to profitablitly. The things I learned while devouring trading books I held as sacred, and those sacred cows are what kept me in the red and caused me frustration and heartache. If I could do it over again, I would not have picked up a single trading...

When Scottie Pippen was looking around for a team in the NBA to join after the Bulls broke up, he spoke with his ex-team mate Michael Jordan on the phone about what teams to consider. Michael told him that he should not consider joining a team with Barkely because was not committed. Jordan told...

BTW, when I mentioned the impact of The Elements of Succesfull Trading, I was only referring to the chapter that provided a definition of trading, not the book as a whole. The book is written in textbook format, not exactly the kind of book you can curl up with on a rainy day.

This is the kind of jack bashing I can appreciate. You clowns with your, "Jack will never call live trades" and "spam and scam" take note. Mr. Mudgins, for you next assignment I want a seven stanza, (minimum!), poem about Jack and the Jackolopes. Not a limerick and you may not use the...

How odd ..... It gapped up huge at the open and then tanked pretty hard. I didn't read the earnings report, but the headlines for it seemed positive. The gap up was at 9.50 which gives it another 52 week high.

Is Ron Paul still winning in a landslide in latest AOL poll?

Well, thank you for your generosity Hyundai. What am I supposed to drive after you so graciously allow me to give you my car back after I lose my job??? If you really want to be a sweetheart let me drive the damb thing without paying for it.

I just added it up and I ended with a net $63 loss. I held on to TACT too long, thinking it and the market as a whole were getting ready to rally strong. I threw out the GTC stop and took a much larger loss than I should have. (...

This is a cut and paste from my broker's website regarding gainskeeper: Why in the world would my broker tell me to NOT use gainskeeper for tax purposes???

Allright, 2 kabillions, but that's it! final offer!

If I pay you a kabillion dollars will you give me the secret formula?

The retail sector is still getting terrible press, nothing but gloom, doom and store closings. Hopefully the contrarians will see HOTT making new 52 week highs and get drawn in. Now that the holidays are over the volume should pick up and that should also draw in the IBD crowd. I'm starting to...

One other thing. From the link above is this quote: Absolutley not, Mr. Fiedler! You have an obligation to run a paper with high standards of journalistic fairness and keep your paper profitable in the marketplace. It isn't up to the government, or "democracy" as you put it, to keep you in...

I like print newspapers. I subscribe to the print WSJ, and print Barron's. If I had time to read two papers a day, I would also subscribe to the USA Today. The USA Today and the WSJ are not in danger of folding, but I don't know about Barron's. I wonder if they are doing OK. I still see a lot of...
