    Philosophy in Trading

    Having a philosophy might be good if you like hedge fund names such as Eclectica, Empirica, or Calcula. Personally I'd rather invest in a fund called Muh Dik, or Jugz. It's just marketing. How you write the prospectus really depends on who you're trying to reach out and touch base with, to...

    Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?

    OP's thinking in a way that sucked me into this casino after my first double, the very month I opened my first account. "All I have to do is keep doubling my money, it's just too easy" I thought to myself. LOL It's been a long rocky road since then. No one leaves this club without...

    Looks like Victor Niederhoffer blew up again

    Nice thing about TA based methods is they blow up slowly, while RV, mean reversion, short vol and The Bernanke Put tend to leave you hanging when other traders figure out you're leveraged and vulnerable......... :eek: "The two main causes of poverty are liquor and leverage" - W.B.

    Cheapest commission $4.95 in US?

    I started with Tradeking about four years ago before moving to Tradestation for the backtesting software. Tradeking has been reliable for my stock and option swing trades and I still have a mildly active account there. They do charge .01 per share in addition to the 4.95 base rate for any...

    Nevada Ranch Dispute Getting Ugly, Another Waco Or Ruby Ridge Coming?

    I think you're correct from a purely legalistic standpoint. But this is a slippery slope, like property or income taxes. Consider your house. It is actually like an investment owned by the State, who collects "dividends" or "interest income" from it in the form of property taxes. The State...

    Nevada Ranch Dispute Getting Ugly, Another Waco Or Ruby Ridge Coming?

    I agree, and this is probably the various gov agencies bought so much ammo, police depts have military equipment, drones now fly over US soil, NSA spys on every electronic comunication, and paid forum plants actively try to influence public opinion, etc. Gov bureaucrats know how dangerous a...

    Nasdaq top

    Looks like I was wrong about the upward blast - this is why I trade penny stocks and not the ES, LOL! What do you say, ET'ers, will it break the neckline or put in a right shoulder first?

    Mayoral Candidate in Jackson Mississippi

    Every major city that has been taken over by black politicians has set foot on the slippery slope that leads straight to Liberia: the black mecca where ex-American slaves have been liberated, with nary a white person in sight, free to live as they choose........

    Similarities of Trading & Dating

    I totally agree with this. My biggest losses in trading have been chasing guesses that look alluring but cost me big ("easy, hot women") or acting too fast / aggressively on a trade that matches "the profile", but out of my own fear and / or irritation I dump it when the going gets rough...

    When People Ask "What do you do for a living" What say you?

    This would be the PC response, though if you're in the mood to troll, "professional gambler" or "casino operator" would do the trick. :D
