I'm also profitable in my VIX option dabbling. I just wish the damn spreads were tighter.

OK killa, I'll tell you what you want to know. In exchange, I'm very interested in knowing about how much you & your peers have made over the past month. (Are we talking mid 5-figures over the past 3-4 weeks? Low six-figures? Some other number?) Anyways, I've said this here recently; For...

You suck.

Thanx! Honestly, I'm not sure at all regarding what comes next. I'm just focused on the very near-term, making quick hits on intra-day movements.

My current home is the only piece of real estate I've ever bought, so I have a lot to learn on the topic of real estate speculation. When the prices crater, what types of assets will you be looking to pick up? Residential, right? Single family homes, condos, or apartments? Urban, suburban...

A surefire recipe for permanent piker status if I ever saw one. For some reason I'm in the mood to do you a favor and take the time to explain what you're doing here: My job is to collect strands of beads off the streets of New Orleans. I need to collect 500 strands every year to make a...

Quitting early after a big gain is the second worst trait a trader can have. No offense, but you'll never be rich.

He's absorbed and immersed in his work. This volatility is awesome! One August 2007 day, presents more opportunity to capitalize than 15 or 20 regular days. I'll even go as far as saying; this is the best trading market since the Golden Age.

If not for prop, where else would I get an 8-figure buying power? No where. Besides, in the highly unlikely event that a rouge trader blows up Echo, the firm would still get an immediate bailout from Merrill (Parent company of Echo). I'm not worried.

Yup, and the <i>only</i> reason I find Jar-Jar Binks annoying, is because the character is voiced by a black actor. Get Real! :p

Yeah. Anyone who throws around racism allegations so readily, cannot possibly be taken seriously.

You see no difference between a quick and painless death at an animal shelter, vs. a gruesome, bloody and torturous death that comes after months of abuse? Not much of an animal lover, are you?

Well, yeah. <i>That</i> part does seem pretty absurd. I'm just saying, if there really is credible testimony regarding execution-pattern ballistics found on Tillman's body, that part of the allegation needs to be investigated- not dismissed offhand.

Archipus, I know there is some truth to what you say. And BTW, I'm not dismissing the health benefits of colonics at all- The human body has not yet evolved to properly eliminate modern processed foods. The average American adult lugs around over 5-10 pounds of dry, impacted feces in their...

Hapa, why do you dismiss these allegations offhand? Serious allegations have been made-; They may be true, or they may be concocted moonbat bullshit- But aren't they at least worth a bit of further investigation?

...for the same reason I don't google the word "healthy", put the top 20 results in a hat, and then pick one of them at random.

We're not on the same wavelength at all. You completely misunderstand me at every turn, and I'm done trying to correct your confusion. Just put me on ignore, you'll be better off.

LOL! I wrote a little commentary on that last year. As a matter of fact, I consider it some of my finest work... :D http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1164913&highlight=UBS#post1164913 8-13-06 Quote from Rearden Metal: You can tell when a company, like UBS, is...

Coolweb came the closest. Generally speaking, intelligent people think that most other people are stupid (and they really are, by comparison). Dumb people think that 'people are smart' (and they really are, by comparison). So according to my theory, the top suits at Ditech realized that...
