...you think YOU had a bad day? It would be dishonest if I didn't post this, but I am going to start posting here occasionally instead of daily. After the run I'd been having, I knew I was due for an ego check.

I really wasn't going to post my less interesting days. But, here it is, by popular request...

Can anyone really touch the daytrading results produced by Dmitry Balyasny during the tech bubble? $50 mil gross/year, while generally sticking quite rigidly to a time frame of not longer than two days in any position. P.S. Thanx Szeven, but I still have a lot of work to do before I put...

"Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA, demanded an explanation of the secret intelligence gathering techniques and surveillance used to find Mr. Zarqawi. “I want to give the president an opportunity to explain the program to the Congress and to assure the American people that nobody’s civil rights...

Lethalsoul: No, thank YOU! :D Saxon: ...because I'm an Israeli citizen too. Sure, I could have dodged the draft and escaped to the U.S... but then I'd probably never be allowed to set foot in Israel ever again. Besides, at age 18 I had a tendency to just do whatever the authority figures...

Hi guys, I just found this thread. It's definitely best to keep these questions here instead of the P/L thread, as the mods have requested repeatedly we keep that thread on topic. 1993: I start swing trading/investing in Israeli stocks by phone from my IDF army base. I was 18 at the...

These horror stories bother me far more than they could ever touch you.

There is no such thing as price gouging! If an individual owns any sort of property, it is not the proper function of government to tell him what he's allowed to sell it for. If I put out an offer to sell AAPL at $500/share, is that price-gouging? If I were to put my home on the market for $20...

More like ET's most honest & open drug user. You'd be shocked who has privately and secretly told me of their active IV heroin habit. (Note to my friends here: Please don't even ask who this is- I'll never tell.) Ratboy, keep making blind assumptions and sticking to them despite all evidence...

Congratulations ratboy, I've now officially and completely written you off as a hopeless troll- incapable of even the most basic level of logical reasoning. You're only the second ET poster to be put in this category. Enjoy the company of your sole colleague, LoZZZer. Now, for the benefit of...

That reminds me of when Michael Jordan tried to play pro baseball. Daniel Negreanu loves the cameras, the glamour, the stardom, etc. I make about as much money as he does, but is Pepsi co. knocking on my door with lavish endorsement deals? Hardly. (I wish.) Making low seven-figures in...

Oh, man... are you kidding me? Poker is tic-tac-toe, while trading is Civilization 3/ Dungeons & Dragons/ (Insert any other game which is intricately complex, with a universe of infinite possibilities and widely diverse scenarios.) Poker and trading- I've risen to the top 1% in both games...

breathtakingly beautiful hostages...ummmmm...i mean... ummmm... russian "sluts". rearden, you show your true colors........ nothing i hadnt already figured out. pure scum [/B] RATBOY: Using your 'logical reasoning methods', I now assume that you own an entire family of slaves, whom you...

I'm not in the habit of watching poker shows at all, but the one on CNBC has been running here in the background. I just heard the dumbest quote from Sam Farha (Discussing his career as a professional poker player): <b>"What we do- It’s not easy. I think it’s the toughest thing you...

Ok, I really need to quit hogging all the attention here...

Anyway, you are coming home in June, would you like to meet? Of course... but in Tel Aviv or Ramat Gan. (I'm not really into the Ramallah nightlife scene. :p ) If you can make it out to enemy territory for a few beers, your first couple full contact lap dances from breathtakingly beautiful...

June 8

<b>I think this post is significant, Wael/Kissanmakeup. You messed up, revealing that all of your sincere claims of being a Mexican from San Antonio were blatant lies. </b> <b>If you're willing to lie repeatedly about something like this, why should anyone believe a word you say about...

Do you arrive in Tel Aviv on June 18th, by any chance? We might be on the same flight. :eek:
