Well, thanks for scaring the hell out of me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fixx Just read the section about his death. I'm 44, was never a smoker, but I was 220 lbs 6 months ago (around 205 now), and have a somewhat stressful occupation. I started doing crossfit workouts a few...

Kudos to your running prowess and your ability to make up new words on the fly.

But if you don't get enough sleep, you are asleep on your feet for the other 50. I don't want to live that life. Everyone is different.

"If you sleep more often, you can get by on a lot less sleep" Not sure where I saw that or read it, but it sure seems to be true. But only 4 hours a day? I couldn't do it. Some people need more sleep than others, and I am definitely one of those who needs more.

No I cannot, and I absolutely meant no disrespect. But when I think of genius of the pen when it comes to trading books, I guess I am more inclined to go with Sheldon Nattenburg or Peter Berstein, or maybe even Mark Douglas (I only own 2), simply because of his ability to make you delve into...

"Covel’s rare genius of the pen..." Seriously?

Wtf was that? Edit, Sorry, not watching any news, and not in a position, just watching the futures.

Bump.

The kids probably got in there by themselves, the parents thought it was funny and took a pic, the pic goes viral, a neighbor recognizes the kids and call the cops, the parents go to court and have to explain themselves while getting themselves all over the news, the family goes home after a...

No. For now, anyway. By saying "there may be something in the works", I may be stretching it a bit, so don't hold your breath. I wouldn't count on a FINRA firm accepting 56's anytime soon. Need the 7 for now. EDIT --- Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I feel like I'm in unfamiliar...

Not sure what you mean by monthly and quarterly fees IN ADDITION to monthly data fees. I wonder if you're talking about the Green Mountain fees. I remember hearing something about them, but quite frankly I didn't care then, and don't care now. Too negligible to worry about on my end. And I...

I've gotten a PM or 2 saying the same thing. Good info, though. Thanks.

Yeah, I've been trading the indexes a lot more lately, and it is nice. If your opinion is simply coming from the daily ranges, then yes. But IMO these markets are crazy in a way but very organized in their tradability. (is that a word?) Hell, I look back on a daily chart at the narrow...

Just talked to the OM, and they already switched to the CHX. Totally seamless, and I didn't even notice. They took care of all of the U4 crap for us. Don, excuse my ignorance, as I should already know this from earlier posts of yours, but are you guys FINRA or CBSX? I only ask because of...

Just wondering what the hardcore TA folks are thinking. I personally chose the last one because I strictly day trade. But I have seen some amazingly accurate longer term calls from some folks on here, and am just curious as to the opinions out there. Thx.

My first, and potentially only poll. I think everyone can see the triangle trying to form on the /ES and SPY over the last month. (I'm not going to post a chart. If you can't see it, then you or I have technical analysis issues.)

I don't know if they were turned off (maybe they were) but later, people said they saw options quotes at .01 x 20,000. Yep, you want 1 contract? Fork over 2 million.

Yes, they've been with the Philly exchange for years, but are switching to the CHX soon. Both are FINRA exchanges. So different rules apply. Many have speculated that the lower payout requirement for cbsx firms is bullshit, and just allows the firm to keep more, but I don't know if I believe...

I happened to drive over to a buddy's office to trade that day, so we could collaborate a little on all of the options positions we had on. When that was happening, our quotes were about a minute behind, and I will never forget my blotter telling me I was down over 2 million. And then it...

I know Lucrum will appreciate this. And I wonder how many trading opportunities we miss because of it. Copied text from an email, and the accompanying link below: From an ex-AAL left seater. The link below takes you to a great illustration of what we were...
