Hmmm... Visa now up around 2.8%, while MA hasn't budged. Did <i>I</i> do that? :p

Ok, here's one that'll make you scratch your head a bit: AXP reported last week, and then dropped significantly on crappy numbers. V reported today after the close, and their numbers were solid. MA reports tomorrow before the open. Right now in after hours trading: MA up over 4% V up...

On second thought, ya know what? Disclosing the answer to the question you're all wondering about is simply the right thing for me to do... especially after repeatedly stating that I don't have anything to hide. My '08 red hole (in all accounts combined) was $800,000 deep at the very worst...

Hi Kids! My timing on posting this thread was truly ironic. I had delayed taking this step for months because I was put off by the prospect of having to kiss dozens of frogs before (maybe) finally finding what I'm looking for. Other reasons for my initial hesitation include the long morning &...

Hey, I give ya 50%+ in under 4 months (with almost half of that gain coming the very next day) ... and that's not good enough, because you <i>also</i> want the pick to be some kind of surprise long shot? (Just playin'. :p ) The thing is, many traders were disappointed with today's action...

Thank you for posting that, thereby helping me to look good. I have the utmost respect for people who do that! While we're already on the topic of my predictions: As a highly egotistical narcissist, I am now obligated to also point out the only ET post made by me over the past week, which...

To all those who are still waiting for me to reply to your PM, I apologize profusely! I've been pre-occupied over the past week with trading and other prior obligations. My delayed response doesn't mean I'm not interested! Here- To help soothe your pain from waiting idly for my reply while...

Not familiar with that term, sorry. Oh, and I never touch forex... That's gambling! :D

You're technically correct, of course... but a trader's career isn't defined by just one trade! As long as your 'guesses' are +EV you'll do fine over the long run. This is such basic stuff. Does the casino 'know' for sure that they won't lose money on the next spin of the roulette wheel? Do...

A Random Walkist wandering around a site for traders is like a deaf man at the symphony or a devout Muslim at a peace rally. WTF are you doing here?

Have you read Timothy Sykes' book? The guy has become somewhat of a joke on ET, and his book isn't useful for much else... but it really <i>does</i> help detail the difficult process of raising capital for someone in your exact situation. I guarantee you wouldn't regret taking the time to read...

I'm getting tons of great leads to sort through and a double-digit PM backlog at this point... Please bear with me if I haven't answered your PM yet!

Thanks much, but I'm 100% unelectable! I never feign fondness for people whom I dislike, I hate both large crowds and shaking hands, I suck at persuading people to do what I want them to do (unless I take out my wallet)... but worst of all: <B>I never lie to people unless I consider them to...

<i> "Sex with animals is perfect for men in Washington state, as long as the animal weighs less than 40 pounds."</i> --->It should be the exact opposite- It's far more cruel & injurious to bone a shih tzu than a full grown cow or elephant. We really should petition the governor! <img...

Fondness for watermelon isn't a negative attribute like laziness, dishonesty, or belligerence. Many believe that "racism" is defined as ranking one ethnic group as 'superior' to another. By that measure, watermelon jokes are in poor taste, but wouldn't necessarily be considered racist. Just...

canyonman00: Hang in there guy!! I''ll add in a special mention tonight while on my knees. Thanks! You just left yourself wide open with that one! :p ...but sometimes cracking a joke is just too obvious, there's really no point. Kind of like the name of that PartyPoker co-founder guy. ____...

How about some free malicious trojans and worms? I'd like to install a few on my pc... Any suggestions?

Thanx a ton, Fractal! Your suggestion goes up near the front of my list. Now that you've brought up the whole anti-depressant issue, I'm about to take the risk of revealing way too much personal information here. It'll still be worthwhile if the following personal account reaches just one of...

<b>Criminals???</b> No, 400,000 of these incarcerated Americans are merely prohibition violators (political prisoners). http://www.drugwarfacts.org/crime.htm In case they're looking for a few hundred thousand more bodies to fill all those newly-built prison complexes, perhaps they should...

Fantastic! I accept your proposition. You're on! Would a $10,000 wager be sufficiently worth your while, or shall we bump our little bet a bit higher? We'll use your single most respected ET member as escrow and judge... Ooops, that's right; not a single trader on these boards merits your...
