Tip your head and let the hot sand run to the other side.

The Great Wall of China was a general failure in its time, as anyone familiar with its history knows. The invaders would attack at spots between the manned towers. It was mostly a psychological thing, not a true serious defense

that is very true. When very cold winter days come, they almost have to beg some homeless to come into shelter.

Do you get these ideas in your dreams?

And not to mention, without seeing the trader's track rcord, trading statistics/metrics, risk profile, his claim has absolutely no meaning. 3 trades? 5 years? Tolerate 80% drawdown a few times? Profit factor of 1.05? Does the trader have an edge or is it purely from "writing options"...

It doesn't matter how stock picks fare. It matters how they fare in comparison to the overall market. In other words, if the market shoots up at the same time as your picks did, that is not an indicator of skill on your part. If however, your picks shoot up 30% (unleveraged) while the market...

sounds good. I know McGill. But something to keep in mind, is that the financial services industry has been gutted from the following forces: 1) A lot of positions were permanently eliminated worldwide by the financial crisis 2) A lot of positions have been eliminated by artificial...

Perhaps, but when it is all said and done, writing options without some kind of outperformance edge will likely wind up as breakeven to losing after commissions, slippage, bid/ask, risk, errors, fees, taxes, etc. If it were ever this easy, the institutional trading houses with their billion...

on the flip side, some homeless individuals also tend to aggressively panhandle in areas, almost to the point of causing a little fear in those being accosted for money. But I still remember the sight of seeing a woman who must have been 75-85, standing in a terminal. She was quiet, humble...

Totally depends on what format the trading info is in: text file, html/web page, proprietary reports, etc. For realtime results, your broker(s) may have a way for you to export your trading history, such as for tax reporting purposes. I would give them a call and find a knowledgeable person...

there are a couple other sites like this (used to get periodic e-newsletters from them), but cannot remember the URLs... At minimum, it is interesting to see their ideas. part of the problem though, is that if the US goes into the hole, most of the world will probably soon follow. For...

How can the OP be so blind, dense, self-righteous, etc.? At least 5 people have clearly pointed out, and he has known better than all of them. The OP will never succeed with this attitude. I wouldn't hire him as an unpaid intern. He probably does not realize that anyone who did bring him...

there have been numerous stories about this the past year+

first, set a target AFTER commission, slippage, bid/ask spread, etc. There is a major difference between sim and real world trading. second, it is not just about how much you made. What does your drawdown analysis say? what is your profit factor/expectancy? what is your sharpe? In other...

Next, pit bulls will be a protected class...
