Icahn called Ackman a crybaby yet Icahn was the one throwing a temper tantrum lol HLF is a piece of shit pyramid and so many are involved in it that it's a self fulfilling prophecy to believe in the cult . "In its flyers, HerbaLife claims that you can make as much as $1500 per week for...

Ok now for second bet, bet 25k at 1:1 then 50k at 1:1 . You need to re title the thread "700- 100k in 30 days " :D :cool: :p

Sounds like a good SHTF plan to me. lol I think I'd rather be in rural town MN than downtown NY or Chicago when things go tits up. But who knows, you could have that farmland and ammo sitting around for years. I remember in PTJ "Trader" movie they were scared the world would blow up due...

Yeah, I hear ya, but joe sixpack can get in and out without moving price . Where as Mr. Banker or Hedgie might take hours,days or weeks to get out of something. Each participant has their strengths and weaknesses. I don't like the word edge. I think the market is just a utility. When...

For DOM. I like seeing cumulative depth and seeing which side has more orders on DOM. Thats about all I get out of it and it's fun to see big orders flashed too. As for seeing where I'm at in line. The bid ask on the chart trader works fine. Majority of my focus is on the chart when I'm...

Hey , some people trade for the thrill (not money) and if you're getting the entertainment you want out of it then more power to ya. How many times can you go to the casino and blow 1k to keep your hobby going is the question.
