Thanx, hermitage! Volente: I wouldn't be interested in backing the vast majority of traders. Certain special exceptions could arise though, like if the trader is a ridiculously conservative, fear-filled grinder with very consistent but very small net monthly gains. This could be someone with...

I didn't even know that Tuco had $3 mil in ECN receivables due (=practically money in the bank), which makes all the SEC 'shortfall' claims completely bogus. So there was a 7-figure <b>surplus</b> of cash, and this crude injustice stinks even worse than before. If the SEC were a privately owned...

Damn, tried to short NFLX before the close, but couldn't borrow any and didn't want to bother with options. Ooops.

Well, you could always just put up your own dough (taking on all of the risk yourself), and not have to worry about any sort of profit-sharing split with a backer, since there wouldn't be one. Alternatively, maybe you could find a backer with simpler terms who is less protective of his...

I initially sent my standard Backer-Trader terms to the OP via PM, but now I realize this is one of those rare instances where I can freely post some valuable information to ET without any risk of it ending up costing me anything. (As opposed to posting trading strategy info and the like- which...

Sorry, I take it back- Not buying (yet). I can't buy this chart. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my gut feel here is that FMD will go either down or sideways for the next two months. Look at how AAPL bottomed recently- It first 'bored out' all the dip buyers, before finally climbing...

Once your trading account is empty and you're still feeling an intense craving for that nice warm blanket of false hope, try religion: 100% free, and it's been mankind's #1 favorite source of false hope for over 10,000 years! If religion doesn't work on you for whatever reason, there's always...

Any money you leave in your trading account is as good as gone. Figure out how much more you want to lose, and keep that in your trading account. Take the rest and put it in something <b>highly illiquid</b>, like buying a local foreclosed property at a deep discount. Then you can try and make...

I'm just saying that at first (<i>before</i> the sick dealings of the church leaders were revealed in this thread), the knee-jerk reaction of many here (myself included) was to assume the gov't was pulling some unconstitutional bullshit again, as they often do. Now that more details have come...

Yes, that would only be the <b>natural reaction</b> of people who are completely unfamiliar with this strange Mormon church community, but very familiar with the U.S. gov't; The entity responsible for the Waco massacre, and the abductor of 400,000 innocent political prisoners who are currently...

Or, alternatively: Shag lots of female humans.

So it's legal to molest an innocent helpless child (thereby scarring her for life), as long as you get all the paperwork right... but enjoying a harmless narcotic high afterwards is a serious felony, punishable by years of hard time locked up alongside dangerous real criminals (but not child...

Since when is "not knowing" proper grounds for an all out Jack-Booted raid in America? I don't know whether or not you're currently keeping a harem of milk-carton kids locked up in your basement... Think they should kick down your door at 4 AM to check for sure? Evidence of criminal activity...

Anyone know how to lower one's cortisol levels? Is there some kind of supplement or pill for that?

No, Tom Landry. Was that just an attempt on your part to post the most irrelevant reply you could possibly think of... and if so, why? :confused:

On parallel with Goodwin's Law, I'd like to hereby create Rearden's Law, which states: <i>"As a message board thread about the solar system grows longer, the probability of someone posting a Uranus joke approaches one."<i/>

There's a reason why such a notion is actually NOT laughably ridiculous: Most people are not aware of the fact that Earth's precisely stable axis is a rare thing for a planet to have, and is entirely credited to the moon's pull. Earth's North & South Poles were in the exact same spot 10,000...

Who's whining? All I can see from here is a guy who's taking the time to speak out against injustice.
