...especially for the only two people in the world who know whether or not a true and honest experiment actually took place. Look, no offense- It's not like you have a bad reputation or anything like that... you simply have NO reputation yet here at all. OP: Ok, don't pick me. Pick...

Oh yeah, I'm sure <i>that</i> was their motive for the upgrade. I mean, a big respectable Wall Street house like Merrill would <i>never</i> pull a sleazy stunt like upgrading a stock just because they wished to dump and/or short a few million shares into the ensuing squeeze... right? :p I...

But hardly anyone here knows him! Even if you totally pull this off, all you'd get for your trouble would be a stack of unpleasant allegations! You should pick someone with more ET cred, or just do both of us. I'm telling you man, going with Scotty over me isn't in your best interests at...

I know! Who could have possibly predicted such an incredibly surprising turn of events? :p http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1191134&highlight=hillary#post1191134 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1263226&highlight=hillary#post1263226 I'm...

Ok, I've placed a very easily recognizable standard household item on top of my dining room table, which is right next to the kitchen. (My kitchen has a table-free counters & bar stools type setup). It's sitting right there on a red tablecloth, so you should have no problem 'finding it'. I...

I'm not so sure about that theory. After all, the extreme left and extreme right both hate Hitler, Bin Laden, and YOU.

Just to add a little something here: While it may be true that I haven't made an embarrassingly awful market call on ET in years, I don't exactly have next month's WSJ in front of me, either. (Future-me did indeed hop in the DeLorean to bring present-me a few generous gifts... but they were...

OK, time for another official RM prediction: Obama won't even <i>consider</i> picking Hil-Dog as his running mate. Nope, never gonna happen. He's going to pick a white guy instead... A white guy who can be sold to the public as seemingly more centrist leaning than liberal.

I can vouch for that 100%... If you want any kind of remote data entry/post archiving work done, this is the guy you want to hire!

What I meant was; Back when BSC was still at 60-something, I'm sure that top FA experts could have put forth rock solid reasoning as to why BSC <i>might</i> soon collapse. However, they could have also simultaneously applied that <b>exact same reasoning</b> toward 20 other financials that...

I fully endorse the above poster. Good help is hard to find, and this guy is definitely good help!

Option B is best, IMO. You'd get 5-1 overnight leverage.

Asking for a 50% cut is very unrealistic, since the trader puts up all the money and takes all the risk. Seasoned hedge fund managers with lengthy proven track records only take a 2 and 20 cut (and their investors don't have to manually enter every single trade for themselves). Do you really...

+1 Great post!

I think the single table tournament format with unlimited re-buys for the first two hours would be the way to go. We could make the prize structure less top heavy than normal, so that fewer players go home with a loss. For example, instead of paying the top 3 of 10 guys at 50%, 30%, and 20%...

My gut feeling is that even if I posted about this 20 times, I still wouldn't be able to fill <b><i>half</b></i> a table with guys willing to put down three grand or more. (You're all welcome to prove me wrong!) Incidentally, I haven't been dealt a single hand of poker in over three years...

<i>"Park Ridge here--can't host this weekend but will keep in touch and we can get a game going."</i> --->Great! Let's do this... for real! Which city, Naif? NY or Chi?

South Barrington, actually (I detest crowded places)... but I'll drive into the city for a good game.

Loosen up and realize that was just a cut & paste!

How about an upper middle/ high stakes game in the Chicago area? Who's in?
