    John Kenneth Galbraith

    Cool f**ker, this guy. Bit of a lefty liberal so not to my political taste. But he still wrote some perceptive stuff in its time. :)

    A traders shelf life...

    Well newbies and so many others just do not do anywhere near the homework needed to nail down accurate trading. Sooner or later they just want to start pulling the trigger to mow down the market whereas it is the market that mows then down. The market is neutral .. it doesn't take horsesh*t...

    I like your description of the market. :)

    Right or Wrong?

    If you close a trade at a loss, all you need to know is that a loss is wrong enough not to repeat. But there is no need to get into an emotional turmoil over being wrong and to start beating up on yourself. One key element is huge preparation and intense study of your chosen market...

    You got it all wrong. I was quoting Bearbelly. :)

    Mirror.....

    Make a net 15 points twice a day on the YM every day. Every 4 weeks double your betting stake. Assume a start position of 1 lot. Theoretically, how much will you have accumulated at the end of 40 weeks? :)

    New Trader- Hello, and I need some help

    Use all your time to progress your education. Get yourself a first class degree at an Ivy League college. Use it to get into a big firm. Keep going as fast as you can. And don't stop until you've become a very highly paid Wall Street office stiff. :D

    The questionable value of posted market calls

    Well, hell, writing a post is drawing attention to the writer. So what? Posting trades? Its harmless; sure, it offers no value or no lasting value. But there are drones, apparently, who want to follow or copy the trades of someone .. anybody it sometimes seems. And then often there are...

    Futures or Options - which is better?

    Futures or Options - which is better? This is a very inexpert question. If your trading aim is to continuously scoop a lot of money out of a market and build cash, straight forward buying/selling & selling/buying is what is you need to do .. accurately and knowledgeably done, of course...

    Fearless trading

    Now this is very interesting. Because there is so much bogus horsesh*t peddled to the public, most of it should be ignored. However I like the look and purpose of this EFT stuff. I have written in other posts that most people choose to lose and choose to be a loser. They do this because this...

    Right or Wrong?

    Or if put in a Karmic thought line .. 'If you lose, do not lose the lesson.' :)

    Right or Wrong?

    Life is as difficult or as easy as you choose to make it. Each one of us has awesome power, because you have the power to decide what you want to think! :)

    avoiding taxes

    There is a gigantic amount of horsesh*t talked about tax avoidance. You can legally avoid taxation. Of course cheating and tax evasion is just plain dumb ignorance as much as it is opening yourself to be found out for breaking the law. :)

    Trading Secrets :)

    Gyrations are no more than the days upmoves and downmoves. I would count the YM yesterday as 5 and half gyrations .. up, down, up, down, etc (one up/down or one down/up being treated as a gyration). The number of gyrations which show to you, depends on the charts/bars you are using .. less if...

    Who will be the Dem candidate?

    Look, I support the Republicans .. no surprise there. I don't hate Hilary Clinton at all. She is one gutsy calculating bitch and she would be one mother of an opponent for any Republican candidate for President. Big mistake to underestimate rival contenders. Never never under-estimate your...

    Trading Secrets :)

    Everyone sees the higher highs/lows and lower highs/lows .. nothing difficult there. Waiting to use them as a validating sequence to confirm a move means intraday, you will or any novice will, without any other understanding, miss many or most of the points available. :)

    Trading Secrets :)

    Higher highs, higher lows in sequence & lower highs/lower lows in sequence are just hindsight reflections of temporary direction. For them to, so-called, 'validate' direction intraday means you've missed many or most of the points before you get started. :)

    Trading Secrets :)

    There is no crowd. There is no trend. There is only hindsight .. for alleged trends and crowds. For ever purchase there is an equal and opposite sale and vice versa. Which side is with the trend and which trend is that? Last 15 minutes, last 15 days, last 15 months? There are upmoves...
