While I realize that your statement above may be nothing more than an exercise in trollery, many here <b>do</b> genuinely believe in the common myth that; "Successful traders don't bother posting on ET, because they have far better things to do with their time." Is that so? WTF do you...

No, they're not offering you a 'job' at all... You'd be their client, not their employee. If they had the audacity to call this a "job", run the other way! Only the shadiest of firms would try that trick. Secondly, forex is by far the worst trading instrument of all. You won't meet many...

'Figuring out' LEH's real balance sheet or valuation isn't possible without inside information. I'll just keep a close eye on the OTM & deep OTM puts, since that's how those with the correct information would show their hand. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but even the world's #1 top...

Holy shit! Sir I must ask: Who are you, and what have you done with the REAL Baron???

Let's give a little credit where it's due, and lay off Baron for a few days! For the first time in history, he's actually listened to our feedback-section input, and made the according structural changes to ET. This is an <b>incredibly difficult thing to do</b> for someone who's spent year...

<b>How about the 3 year+ old posts?</b> Your members took thousands of hours of their time to provide you with these contributions... the least you can do is take 2 seconds to answer a simple yes/no question regarding their fate.

This idea is beyond awesome! Definitely one of the best suggestions I've read here. Pity it'll just be thrown onto the ignore pile with all the rest. As for credit card verification: Baron's right on this one- It truly wouldn't work. It's a 'tuna net' that would catch far more dolphins than...

Does that mean you'll bring back the attachments <b>and the 3 year+ old posts</b>, or will you be leaving some of the vandalism unrepaired? And Baron, seriously now, please; The next time you get these kinds of urges, you need to know that <b>you're not alone</b>, and <b>there is help...

Oh, I've been short varying amounts all day. Not bragging or anything here, as my Faber induced BUD losses more than wipe away my LEH gains.

Hmmm... LEH steadily dropping for a few days in a row, big volume on the OTM puts, Friday... we've seen this pattern before. Hint: We've seen this in pattern in a stock containing the name of an animal that may or may not shit in the woods. I'm not predicting anything, but this is definitely...

Obviously someone wanted to unload some shares today, hence today's little pump (which came from Wall St, not directly from FMD). <b>This is your opportunity to sell!</b> I suggest dumping all you've got tomorrow- You may even get a bit more than $4.25. My last comment on this stock was dead...

Hi Lisa Ann, You're definitely not the only Endorphin Deficiency Syndrome depression sufferer who's sick of being told their medical condition 'does not exist', and you must therefore have a 'drug problem'. I'm glad you found one of my writings on this topic, which are scattered all over...

I hate to break this to you, but trigger shyness is the absolute worst flaw a trader can possibly have. I've known dozens of traders with this career-destroying trait, and not a single one of them was ever able to progress beyond small time grinder status. If 'your friend' wants to have a...

If we were dealing with anyone else, I'd take the time to explain how completely illogical it is for Baron to trash his own house. But since I've never seen anyone successfully convince Baron to do <b>anything</b>, ever (let alone change his mind on a descision already made), I won't even bother.

You'd have gotten a very thin book, no matter which version you picked. The 63 exam covers less than 1/10 the material of the series 7. Much of it is simply "you're not supposed to screw over your customers" type common sense. Disclaimer: I took my 63 back in 1996, and found it easier than...

Article by Dr. Van Tharp on MBTI types and trading. An excellent read!

Oh, I already assumed that part! Here's what I think might have happened: Customer calls shady broker at 10:00 AM with an order to buy XYZ at market. Shady broker easily fills the order immediately at $100, and waits to see what the market does in the next few minutes. If by 10:06, XYZ...

You're right- The broker's response makes no sense at all, as SPY is <b>already</b> a ready-built basket of securities. Any professional trader can buy it in milliseconds, just like any other stock. In fact, even non direct-access retail brokers like Schwab will fill you in a couple seconds or...

Sadly, jjk2 is now a lifeless corpse. However, Chuck Norris never touched him- He just called up God and gave the order.

Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad did. Chuck Norris has never filed a tax return. Every year he just mails the IRS a picture of himself poised in a crouched position, ready to attack.
